loam, mostly shallow, with a few small areas of clay, the whole country being 

 unsuitable for agriculture. 



Fish and Game. 



Big pike were taken from many of the lakes and from the Spanish River, 

 and they seemed to be plentiful; no other kinds of fish were seen, but Winnie 

 Lake on the north boundary of Alton Township is locally reported to abound in 

 trout. 



Moose and red deer, and indications of them were frequently seen in all 

 parts of area, as were also signs of bear and beaver. 



Partridge of two distinct varieties were very plentiful. 



Water Powers. 



The only water power, worthy of consideration, encountered during the 

 survey is on the west branch of the Spanish River, two chains north of the north 

 limit of Township No. 8, where there is a fall of twelve and one-half feet, which 

 could be, with a short dam, increased to twenty-five feet. There are three 

 rapids on the west branch below this point with a combined fall of about eight 

 feet. ^...^ 



Accompanying this report are the township plan on mounted drawing 

 paper, a timber plan, field notes, the required affidavits, and account in triplicate. 

 I am also returning the set of dies furnished by your Department. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



Chas. V. Gallagher,
