50 EEPOliT OF THE No. 3 



The pine is more plentiful south of the Sturgeon River than on the north 

 side, and runs froon ten to thirty inches in diameter. Some of the larger pine 

 is beginning to rot at the centre and it might be wise to cut some of the full grown 

 trees. 



The timber might be driven down the Sturgeon Eiver in freshet. There is a 

 small area of good sound pine at the south-east angle of McConnell, recently burned, 

 which should be got out before it becomes wormy. 



The other timber averages from four to eighteen inches and is in a good state 

 of preservation. The necessity for efficient rangers in this territory is very 

 apparent. 



Fish and Game. 



The fishing in these waters is unequalled. Pike, pickerel, bass and lake trout 

 are easily caught with the troll and some of the fish are exceptionally large. 



Red deer, moose and bear were seen, and plenty of muskrat and a few signs of 

 beaver. - 



Accompanying this report I submit, 



(1) A general plan, 



(2) Field notes of the survey with index map. 

 All of which is respectifully submitted. 



I have the honor to be. 



Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) A. S. Code, C.E. 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ont. 



Appendix No. 20. 

 Survey of Base axd Meridian Lines, District of Algoma. 



Toronto, 15th December, 1910. 



4k 



Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report upon the survey of 

 certain meridian and base lines in the District of Algoma, north of Missanabie 

 Lake, made by us under instructions from your Department dated 2nd May, 1910. 



Leaving Toronto on 25th May, with four men we proceeded to Missanabie 

 Station on the Canadian Pacific Eailway, where by previous arrangement we were 

 joined by fourteen others from Sudbury, Chapleau, Heron Bay and other points 

 in New Ontario. 



At Missanabie it was discovered that one of the Toronto men had a diseased 

 foot, and he was obliged to return to his home. The total number of men employed 

 during the season was thirty-seven, although the maximum force at any given time 

 was twenty-two. The party was in charge of T. B. Speight, O.L.S., assisted by 

 John Van Nostrand, O.L.S.
