124 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



There is also a small stream which crosses the south boundary of Lascelles 

 near the five mile post and flows westerly into the Little Ground Hog. 

 I did not see any falls capable of development. 



Game. 



Moose are fairly plentiful ; there are also some small deer. In Kabinakagami 

 Lake pickerel are very plentiful, and speckled trout in the Shekak River, the 

 Little Ground Hog and the stream flowing into it in the southwest corner of 

 Lascelles Township, the fire rangers reporting that they have caught them up to 

 three pounds in weight. 



The area covered by this survey is not of any value for agricultural purposes, 

 and if fire is only kept out it will yield a considerable revenue from its timber 

 resources in time. 



Accompanying this report are a general plan, timber plan, field notes and 

 usual affidavits, with 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. 43. 

 QuETico Provincial Park. 



Kawene, P.O., October 31st, 1922. 



Honourable Sir,— I beg to submit my report on Quetico Provincial Park 

 for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1922. 



During the year our staff consisted of an average of seven rangers and a 

 superintendent. This staff is, I think, very inadequate to properly patrol an 

 area the extent of Quetico Park. Unfortunately we lost one ranger by drowning 

 on May 13th, 1922. This is the first serious accident to our staff in the Park. 

 Ranger Stubbs was a strong swimmer and a fairly good canoe-man, but the 

 water being ice-cold, he succumbed before getting ashore. The body has not 

 been recovered, although every means was taken to do so. 



As by your advice and authority some preparations were made for the 

 taking alive of some fur-bearing animals, but on account of the drowning acci- 

 dent all available men were engaged in searching for the body for a considerable 

 time, the proper time for taking such animals passed without our having secured 

 any. 



In the matter of bush fires we have, considering the weather, been very 

 fortunate, there being only one small fire on White's Island, Basswood Lake.
