Game. 



A large number of Moose were seen during the work in the Lady Evelyn 

 Kiver country. Also signs of bear, and several instances of fresh beaver 

 work. Wolves were also heard on several occasions within short range of 

 camp. 



Not many fish were caught in the lakes or streams, pickerel, pike, bass 

 and trout being the varieties seen. 



Accompanying this report I submit plan, field notes, affidavits and

Appendix No. 35. 

 Base and Meridian Lines, District of Algoma." 



Little Current, Ont., December 22, 1908. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit to you the foy.owing report on the 

 survey of base and meridian lines, which form boundaries of timber berths 

 C, D, H, G, K, L, 0, P, S and T, each six miles square, on the Mississaga, 

 Sable, and west branch of the Spanish Rivers, in the District of Algoma, 

 under instructions from your Department dated Toronto, May 28i;h, 1908. 



Leaving Little Current on 2nd July, I proceeded by way of the Can- 

 adian Pacific Railway to Biscotasing, where I outfitted and procured guides^ 

 thence continuing by canoe route to Bark Lake on the Mississaga River in 

 Berth T, where I arrived on the evening of 11th of July. 



On 13th of July I commenced the work by running east astronomically, 

 the first base line from 0. L. S. Niven's twelve mile post on his meridian 

 which was run in 1901. The base was run continuously for twenty-four 

 miles and some chains to the fifth mile on the north limit of Berth D, when 

 further work on it was stopped by bush fire. 



The second base was also run east astronomically, continuously from the 

 six mile post on the said meridian run by 0. L. S. Niven about thirty miles 

 to its intersection with 0. L. S. Beatty's meridian, at a point five chains 

 and twenty-nine links south of where his meridian intersects the south shore 

 of Sinaminda Lake. Reckoning from Beatty's chainage to this lake, this 

 intersection of second base with said Beatty's meridian is nineteen chains 

 and ninety links north of his six mile post. An unsuccessful search was 

 made for this post. 



The first, second and third meridians were run south astronomically, 

 from the first base at intervals of six miles (the first meridian starting from 

 the first base at a point six miles east of the said Niven's meridian, the sec- 

 ond meridian at a point twelve miles east of the said Niven's meridian, and
