Timber. 



The timber along the river consists chiefly of poplar, spruce, balsam, birch 

 and cedar. In many places the country has been fire swept years ago, but since 

 the timber has grown up to a fair size, such as poplar to sixteen inches, and spruce

 birch, also other numerous stretches of river banks with almost virgin forest 

 timbered with spruce to thirty inches and poplar to twenty inches. On the 

 whole taking the above into consideration the timber along the Abitibi River 

 from a pulp standpoint is very good.

 travelled, it is the most dependable water route to James Bay, there being at all 

 stages water enough to carry loaded canoes.

Your obedient servant,
