76 REPOET OF THE No. 3 



Minerals. 



No mineral indications were found in this township. The few exposures of 

 rock are of Huronian origin. 



Waters. 



The Kabinagagami River is a stream about 314 chains wide with rather dark 

 water, but quite wholesome. There is a fair current. The river is broken with 

 rapids in Con. VI, where a power of 1,400 horse-power may be developed at an 

 average flow. 



At the railway in Con. VII, a power of 2^,300 horse-power may be developed 



In Cons. IX and X a long flat rapids occurs, but owing to the wide flats it 

 might be difficult to develop power. 



In Con. XI at a chute, about 1,400 horse-power may be developed. The 

 Traverse Notes show the reservations I would recommend. 



Constance Lake consists of a shallow body of water with a sandy bottom, 

 and along the south, west and north portions of the shore the lake is very shallow 

 for a considerable distance out. 



The water of the numerous lakes is quite clear. 



Fish and Game. 



Game in the vicinity of the railway is scarce. A few signs of moose were 

 seen, but very few of bear and none of deer or caribou. 



There are numerous beaver and muskrat and a few mink. 



The fish consists of pike, pickerel and some brook trout, and are quite plenti- 

 ful. 



There are plenty of ducks, but partridges were this year rather scarce owing 

 no doubt to the wet season. 



Variation of the Magnetic Needle. 



The magnetic variation runs from 4 degrees to 81/4 degrees west, but generally 

 the variation is about 6 degrees west and fairly constant. 



I submit with this report. 



1. Field Notes of the Survey. 



2. Traverse Notes of the Waters. 



3. A General Plan. 



4. A Timber Plan. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



I have the honor to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) A. S. Code, 



O.L.S., C.E.
