At frequent intervals throughout the survey observations on Polaris were 

 taken for azimuth and the magnetic variation which ranges between eight and 

 eleven degrees west of north was read, the results being entered in the field notes. 



All triangulations and observations were very carefully checked in the field 

 and noted in the field note books. 



Soil. 



The country generally is composed of rolling sand plains, spruce, muskeg, and 

 rocky hills, and it is not at all adapted to cultivation, except a few small patches. 



In places where the soil is heavier and vegetation better, there are a great 

 many loose boulders. 



There are twq inhabitants in the area, one an Indian trapper, Basil McDougall 

 by name, who has a cabin on Wataybeeg Lake, and William Biederman, who is 

 both mining and trapping from his cabin on Fall Duck Lake in the Township 

 of Terry. 



EOCK FOEMATION. 



The district generally speaking is composed of ridges of diabase of the post 

 Huronian period, running in a northerly and southerly direction. 



Practically no prospecting has been done in that part of the country surveyed, 

 which lies to the west of the T. & N. 0. Railway, and there are very few 

 outcrops of mineral bearing rock. In the case of the westerly and northerly 

 boundaries of Teck, and the northerly boundary of Bernhardt, the rock formation 

 is diabase and many high ridges of bald rock with steep ascents were encoun- 

 tered. 



Although we saw no surveyed claims and very few staked claims during the 

 progress of the survey, it was quite apparent, on coming out, that prospectors were 

 following up the survey lines, staking claims and doing considerable prospecting. 



Timber. 



The timber consists almost wholly of second growth Banksian pine, spruce, 

 poplar, and white birch of little or no commercial value. Along the 2nd and 3rd
