slow growth of timber does not leave that product of much value for lumber, 

 but will be excellent for pulp. The poplars ranging four to fourteen inches 

 and the spruce from three to nine inches. 



Game does not appear to be over plentiful, no wolves were heard through 

 the entire work, fish in the river are not plentiful, speckled trout and pickerel 

 being caught around the falls and pike being picked up along the stream, 

 the absence of Indian camps and nets led us to the opinion that it was not 

 considered a good fish stream. 



Accompanying this report is a general plan, timber plan, traverse sheet, 

 and field notes, with the usual affidavits. 



I have the honor to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant,

 Township of Strathearn, District of Algoma. 



Toronto, March 1st, 1907. 



Sir, — In accordance with instructions dated the 15th day of May, 

 1906, having completed the survey of the township of Gallagher, I pro- 

 ceeded to the southeast corner of the township of Strathearn, where I found 

 an iron bar along side a wooden post marked "XXXIII" on the northeast 

 side, "XXXIY" on the northwest, "XXXII" on the southwest and 

 "XXXI" on the southeast sides; here I planted a new wooden post and an 

 iron bar one and seven-eighths inches in diameter, marked "Con. I" on 

 the north side, "Strathearn" on the northwest side and "one" on the west 

 side, and ran a chord of latitude due west astronomically for the south 

 boundary and a meridian due north astronomically for the east boundary, 

 the former being run a distance of five miles, sixty-nine chains and eighty- 

 one links to its intersection with a line run due south astronomically from 

 O.L.S. McAree's posts planted at the northwest corner of this township 

 The east boundary was run to its intersection with the southeasterly shore 

 of Lake Como, posts being planted every eighty chains for the respective 

 concessions, and the north boundary was run east astronomically from 

 McAree's posts above referred to, to its intersection with the northwesterly 

 shore of liake Como, the northeast corner of the township being in the lake. 

 Posts were planted on the south boundary at a distance of forty chains apart 

 for each of the lots up to and including lot eleven, except when lot corners 

 come in water. Lot twelve was found to be twenty-nine chains and eighty- 

 one links wide. 



'khe subdivision of the township was proceeded with in accorcYance to 

 general instructions, meridians being run due north astronomically from the 

 proper posts on the south boundary and the concession lines being run due 

 west astronomically from the different posts on the east boundary, suitable 

 wooden posts being planted on the concession lines at all lot corners, except- 

 ing where these were broken by lakes, in which cases the posts were planted 

 in accordance with instructions. 



Iron bars one and seven-eighths inches in diameter, properly marked, 

 were planted at the following places : At the intersection of the east boundary 

 with southeasterly shore of Lake Como, marked "Con. YI" on the north
