Rocks and Minerals. 



The rock formation is chiefly diabase and granite. Very little trace of eco- 

 nomic mineral was found. In the vicinity of Macdonald Lake the country has 

 been staked for mining purposes, and considerable work has been done, though at 

 present no companies are operating. 



Game and Fish. 



Moose and red deer are quite plentiful in this" district. The smaller animals 

 have been trapped off to a great extent. There is, however, an abundance of fish. 

 Rabbit Lake and the smaller lakes surrounding it are well stocked with pike, bajss, 

 and pickerel. 



Observations for Azimuth were taken on Polaris throughout the work, and 

 recorded in the field notes. The Magnetic Variation found was O'SO' West. 



Accompanying the report I beg to submit a plan on mounted paper, showing 

 the topography of the line, and the waterways; a timber plan on tracing linen; a 

 copy of the field notes, and index for same. 



All of which are respectfully submitted.

Stjevet of Tovtnship Outlines, Districts of Algoma and Sudbury. 



0TTAV7A, September 7th, 1912. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of 

 certain township outlines in the Districts of Algoma and Sudbury, lying between the 

 Ground Hog River and the Kapuskasing River, performed under instructions dated 

 May 21st, 1912. 



In pursuance of instructions I commenced my survey at the 18th mile post 

 of O.L.S. T. B. Speight's base line run in 1909 near the crossing of the Canadian 

 Northern Railway (under construction) over the Ground Hog River. From this 

 point I ran north astronomically a distance of 9 miles, planting posts at the end 

 of each 120 chains, excepting that as the third mile came in G«rvais Lake, I 

 planted a post on either shore with the chainage marked thereon. 



From the nine mile post I ran west astronomically to intersect the meridian 

 run north from the 9th mile post of O.L.S. Speight's base line aforesaid, which 

 meridian I produced northward to intersect O.L.S. A. Niven's base line run in 

 1899 from the 130 mile post of the boundary between Nipissing and Sudbury 

 Districts near the 61st mile post.
