1909-10 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 91 



Observations were taken as frequently as possible, though most of the time 

 the weather was extremely cloudy. 



The land is not suitable to agriculture, being either too rough or sand plains. 

 No water powers of any commercial value were met with though small falls 

 and shallow or flat rapids on the rivers and streams are numerous especially on 

 the Opickinimika Eiver. 



Game is very plentiful and consists principally of moose and deer. Signs of 

 bear were plentiful, though few were seen. 



The partridge appear to be increasing very rapidly and were quite numerous. 

 Ducks are plentiful. 



The lakes are all well stocked with fish, the beaver are also very numerous on 

 the small lakes and rivers. 



Accompanying this report is a mounted plan, a timber plan on tracing linen, 

 a blue print showing canoe routes sketched in, field notes and chain bearers affi- 

 davits and an account duly sworn to. 



We have the honour to be. 



Sir, 

 Your obedient servants,

Appendix No. 31. 

 Township Outlines, District of Sudbury. 



Eganville^ October 1st, 1910. 



SiR^ — I have the honour to submit the following report upon the survey of 

 certain township outlines in the District of Sudbury, made by me, under instruc- 

 tions from your Department, dated May 2nd, 1910. 



T proceeded from Bisco Station, C. P. Railway, via Bisco and Gowganda 

 Transportation Company route, as far as Sucker Lake, where I left the Old Mat- 

 tagami Route and proceeded in a course almost due north via Mesomekinda, or as 

 it is better known locally, Beaver Lake, and Kenogaming LaJce to the portage, 

 from the north end of Opeshingquaquaga Lake, leading into Trout Lake, in the 

 Township of Whitesides. 



This, on the whole, is a fairly good canoe route, and while there are between 

 twenty and twenty-five portages^, none of them north of Sucker Lake are over one- 

 half mile long. There is one stretch of shallow creek, about gix miles long to 

 ascend, commencing four or five miles north of Beaver Lake. The map furnished 

 jne shows a portage from Lake Kenogaming into Lake Aqnesqna, and omits to 

 show Kenogaming River flowing north out of former lake, there being two short 

 portages between Kenogaming and Aqnesqna. An accurate map of the greater 

 part of this route could be compiled from records of survey made by James Bay 

 Railway Company.
