FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 209 



Compartments Nos. II, III, IV, and V are simply the subdivisions of 

 the Raquette Lake tract into the several subordinate watersheds, separating 

 those portions of the township naturally tributary to the variot:s inlets of 

 the lake. 



No. II includes that portion tributary to Outlet Bay on each side of 

 the lake. No. Ill comprises the area tributary to Boulder Brook. No. IV 

 contains the section naturally tributary to Marion River and . South Bay 

 in the southeast quarter, and also that in the southwest quarter tributary 

 to Otter Bay and Brown's Tract Inlet. No. V covers that part of the 

 township which is naturally tributary to Beaver Bay, Lonesome Bay, and 

 Sucker Brook Bay, by way of Cranberry Pond Outlet, and all the timber 

 lying on the east side of West Mountain and tributary to Stillman Bay by 

 wa}' of Lone Pond Stream, and as far east as the Ten Eyck private holding. 

 Compartment No. VI is a small compartment which lies back of West 

 Mountain, and includes Otter Pond. The timber upon it is not naturally 

 tributary to either Raquette Lake or Forked Lake, but could be brought 

 across into Cranberry Pond Outlet. 



In dividing the tOAvnship into tracts for lumbering, the six compart- 

 ments into which it was divided, for the purpose of estimating the stand 

 of timber, fall naturally into three blocks. One includes that portion tribu- 

 tary to the Brandreth Lake Outlet and Forked Lake (Compartment No. 

 I); another, that portion tributary to Raquette Lake (Compartments Nos. 

 II. Ill, IV, V), and which should be lumbered to that point; and the third 

 (Compartment No. VI), the small compartment back of West Mountain, 

 from which the timber would naturally go to Moose River. The latter 

 should be lumbered with the timber on Township 41 in the same valley 

 and watershed, but could be brought to Raquette Lake via Otter Pond 

 (see available route shown on Map III). If this route were used it 

 would be necessary to employ tow teams to help in hauling the logs from 

 Otter Pond to the top of the divide between this compartment and No. V; 

 or, since the ascent is short, although comparatively steep, the work could 

 be satisfactorily done by the aid of a small hoisting engine and wire cable 

 at the top of the divide. 



Natarat Oatlets for Timber. 



There are only two outlets advisable for any of the timber on Town- 

 ship 40, and but one for that portion of the northeast quarter which is
