94 EEPORT OF THE No. 3 



lakes and rivers abound with the finest speckled trout and salmon trout. A great 

 number of men are still employed on this line in the Park from Cedar Lake east. 

 Our staff has been composed of twenty-six men and superintendent. During 

 the trapping season their time has been taken up in patrolling the sections allotted 

 them, two men travelling together. Owing to the constant demand for the men 

 at fires, I have not been able to get all the shelter houses built I had hoped. We 

 have built a very fine one at White Trout Lake, repaired several others, and cut 

 out a lot of portages. The superintendent's house at headquarters has been re- 

 shingled and fresh drains laid down from both houses. Joe Lake dam has also 

 been substantially repaired, so that a regular head of water can be held at this 

 point, which is very necessary. 



I have the honour to be. Honourable Sir, 



Yours very sincerely, 



The Honourable W. H. Hearst, G. W. Baetlett. 



Minister j>f Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto.
