1912-13 DEPAETMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 73 



-t 



The streams are all very sluggish, with scarcely any perceptible current, but 

 the water is quite pure and clear thougih it appears black. One exception is the 

 Kabinagagami Eiver, which is very swift. 



Pewabiska Lake, which extends for miles beyond Stoddard Township and is 

 dotted with islands will no doubt some d^ay make a beautiful summer resort. 



The rivers abound in fish of considerable size, particularly pike and pickerel. 

 There may be trout, but none were seen. The season of the year may have had 

 something to do with this. Traces of moose were often noticed. Not one of 

 the party, however, saw a moose, althugh we sometimes heard them. Of the 

 fur bearing animals muskrat were very plentiful, mink were seen and fresh traces 

 of beaver work noted. Wolves were heard on one occasion, but not a sign of red 

 deer was seen. 



The lines of the township were all run with a transit theodolite and measured 

 with steel band chains. The lakes and rivers were traversed partly by triangulation 

 and partly with stadia and with micrometer, the bearings being all obtained with 

 the transit. 



Iron posts were planted in the centre of the concession road allowance between 

 lots 13 and 13 on the south boundary of the township, between lots 12 and 13 

 on the line between the 6th and 7th concessions and on the north boundary of 

 the township at the east limit of lot numbered 13. Similar posts were planted 

 between concessions VI and VII where the same intersects the east and west 

 boundaries of the township. These iron posts were marked as shewn in the field 

 notes prepared of the survey of this township. 



Of the land in the township, I estimate that 80 per cent, of it is arable without 

 any artificial drainage to speak of, and 10 per cent, more can be made so with 

 drainage, and possibly more than this. 



The total acreage of the lots is 45,792.34 acres 



The total acreage of the roads is 1,758.61 acres 



The total acreage of water is 4,236.7 acres 



The total acreage of islands is 69.25 acres 



The total acreage of Ey. lands is 161 



Total 52,017.9 acres 



AH of which is respectfully submitted. 



I have the honor to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) C. H. FULLERTON. 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



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

 Province of Ontario.
