Sir, — In pursuance with instructions bearing date June 24th, 1912, from the 

 Honorable the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, to subdivide the southern 

 portion of the Township of Casgrain in the District of Algoma, we beg to report 

 as follows:— 



With as little delay as possible we proceeded to the flourishing Town of 

 Cochrane, the location of which requires no explanation. There we were joined by 

 five Indians from the Golden Lake Reserve along with two chainmen and a cook 

 which comprised our whole party. From there we proceeded by rail over the 

 G.T.P. Railway which is still under construction to the Town of Hearst.
