56 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



second growth, birch and poplar, this area having been burned over about forty 

 jyears ago, and the fire appears to have run for a long distance east and west of 

 jthe line and probably belongs to the same area of brule which crosses 3 F and 3' G, 

 es the growth appears to be of about the same age. From the Garden River, which 

 crosses near the fifth mile to the north boundary of Townships 195 and 201 ; the 

 {timber is mostly maple and birch of poor quality, with considerable pine, spruce 

 and cedar scattered throughout. 



■3 0. This township has been badly damaged by fire. Fully sixty per cent. 

 of tlie area has been burnt over some forty years ago. The northern portion of 

 the township has escaped, but the timber is largely hardwood of poor quality. 

 Th&re is considerable pine, spruce and cedar throughout, increasing in quantity 

 towards the north-east corner of the township. Taken as a whole this is not a good 

 township. 



^ 0. A small area of brule exists on this township along the canoe route 

 from the Aubinadong River to Aubahagama Lake. It covers probably three 

 square miles. Otherwise the timber has not been damaged and in some parts is 

 very valuable. North of Aubahagama Lake there is a very large amount of valuable 

 pine and spruce, although the pine is not noticeable from the lake, as the timber 

 immediately surrounding the lake is largely white birch and hardwood. South- 

 east of Aubahagama Lake there is considerable maple and birch of inferior quality, 

 (with pine and spruce throughout. Near the south-east corner of the township 

 there is a considerable quantity of white pine to be seen from the lines. Probably 

 bne quarter of the area of this township is water, as two large lakes, Aubahagama 

 land Saymo Lakes, are probably within its limits. This is a very good township, 

 especially the north half. 



5 0. The north-east corner of this township has been burnt over about 

 fifteen years ago. Otherwise the township is very valuable. The north-west cor- 

 ner of the township has a fine growth of pine and spruce and elsewhere through- 

 out the unburnt portion of the township both pine and spruce occur in large 

 quantities. This is a very valuable township. 



S H. A considerable portion of the south-east corner of this township has 

 been burnt and contains no timber of value. There is a large amount of hard- 

 wood on this township, but the quality is poor. There is a large amount of spruce, 

 balsam, cedar, etc., and considerable pine scattered throughout. This township is 

 not nearly as valuable as others within the limits of the survey. 



Jf- H. There are two small areas of brule occurring on the west side of the 

 township, otherwise there is a good growth of timber. The best pine seen occurs 

 along the north boundary and the quantity is large. In the southern part there is 

 a great deal of white and yellow birch and maple with balsam and spruce. There 

 ds scattered pine throughout, but the quantity does not appear to be large. The 

 northern portion of this township is very good, but the southern part is much less 

 valuable. 



5 H. This is a very valuable township. It is practically undamaged by fire 

 and the timber growth is very heavy. White pine is very plentiful along all the 

 boundaries of the township and in the north-east corner it is particularly valuable. 

 JMuch fine pine could be seen from the south boundary as well, and as far as could 

 -be seen during the progress of the survey, pine is fairly well distributed over the 

 entire township. There is also a large amount of very fine spruce, balsam and 

 birch. Taken as a whole, this is the best township within the limits of the survey. 



T'p- 22, R- XL This township has been touched by fire in three places and the 

 (area burnt appears to be about five square miles. There is a large amount of maple
