1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 105 



Game, Etc. 



Large game is very scarce. The fishing in lakes was only fair, but we 

 did not have many opportunities of investigating. I understood from the 

 Indians there is good speckled trout fishing in lake on Goat River, and we took 

 some fine specimens of from ten to fifteen inches long in the river at its crossing 

 of north boundary of Minnipuka Township, also in the creek which crosses 

 same boundary on the fourth mile. 



Speaking generally, the area covered by survey this season is valuable only 

 for its timber possibilities, which depend on the success in keeping down forest 

 fires. 



Accompanying this report are a plan, field notes, timber plan, with usual 

 affidavits and account in triplicate. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



Herbert J. Beatty, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 

 The Honourable the Minister of Lands and Forests, 

 Toronto, Ontario. 



Appendix No. 36. 

 Resurvey of Part of the Township of Blount, District of Timiskaming. 



North Bay, Ont., December 5th, 1922. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of 

 part of the Township of Blount, in the District of Timiskaming, performed by 

 me under instructions from your Department, dated September 26th, 1922. 



I left North Bay on October 4th with a party of seven men and travelled 

 to Cochrane, remaining over night at Cochrane, and the next morning hired a 

 motor truck which carried men and supplies to where the Timiskaming and 

 Northern Ontario Railway crosses the south boundary of the Township of 

 Blount, where we made camp and commenced work in the afternoon. Survey 

 work was carried on continuously till the completion on November 3rd, arriv- 

 ing at North Bay on November 4th. 



The party consisted of eight men, made up as follows : one surveyor, 

 two chainmen, four axemen and one cook. 



Observations for azimuth were taken on the centre line of the Timiskaming 

 and Northern Ontario Railway and bearing carried on side lines between every 

 sixth lot to the east and west boundaries of Concessions "A" and "B." 



Traverse of the Abitibi River was made by chaining along the north shore 

 and taking stadia readings to the south shore. Also traverses of lakes were made 

 by chaining on the ice along the shore and taking stadia readings to the oppo- 

 site shore. 



Iron posts were marked and planted, and pits and mounds made at the 

 points shown in accordance with the instructions.
