1911-12 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FOEESTS AND MINES. 69 



Owing to the fact that lumbermen have been operating in this country for 

 a great many years and also owing to the fires which have overrun this territory, 

 evidence of the original lines has, in places, been completely obliterated. 



A traverse was made along the concession lines across lots 11 to 20, and also 

 on the road allowances between lots 15 and 16 and between lots 20 and 21, No 

 traverse was made of the road allowance 'between 10 and 11, as the true lirie 

 was not cut out all the way. 



I enclose plans in duplicate, field notes and also accounts in triplicate. 



I have the honour to be, 

 Sir, 

 Your oibedient servant, 

 (Sgd.) Frank E. Patterson, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines. 

 Toronto, Ont. 



Appendix No. 29. 



Survey of the Township of Nansen, District of Timiskaming. 



Gananoque, Ont., October 1st, 1912. 



Sir, — I wish to report that following instructions from you bearing date 

 May 29th, 1912, that I have completed the survey of the north eight concessions 

 of the said township in all 34,907/7 acres, and am submitting for your approval 

 and inspection the field notes and plans of the same, and that during the course 

 of my survey I have inspected closely the soil and have come to the following 

 conclusions : 



Re Soil. 



The greater portion of the tract is a muskeg moss, and vegetation matter 

 partially decayed over a clay subsoil. 



There is, however, a strip of country along the spur of the Transcontinental 

 Railway constructed by Messrs. Fauquier that is a gravelly and sandy loam. 



Messrs. Fauquier have taken gravel from pits 4, 5 and 6 respectively L. 

 0. 465 L. 0. 489 and H.S. 2,000 the gravel from pit 4 L.O. 465 that was in sight 

 in the cut is of such quality that I do not believe that the persons in charge will 

 use any more from this pit. 



Pit 5 L.O. 489 is exhausted. 



Pit 6 H. Sight 2,000 carries, I understand, the best gravel to be had in this 

 section of the country, and is supplying Fauquier's construction needs at several 

 points at present. 



Further, that I have inspected the timber growth and have the following 

 summary :
