Head of Cascapedia River . 
The next part of the mountains to be referred to is about 13 miles 
northeast of the junction of Pineau and Cap-Chat rivers, where a low pass 
leads from a tributary of Ste. 'Anne river to a lake draining into Paradis 
river, a tributary of Cascapedia river, which reaches Chaleur bay, after 
a course of 70 miles. 
A lumber road follows up the west side of Ste. Anne river from the 
village of Ste. Anne-des-Monts to Cbtb creek, a distance of about 13 miles 
from the sea. Here there is a small camp, used by lumbermen and hunters, 
near the foot of the mountains which rise as a sombre evergreen-covered 
slope to a long, flat summit level not far from 3,000 feet in height. At 
about 5 miles southwest, following a path near the foot of the range, a 
hunters' camp is reached and a half mile beyond the ascent begins, the 
foot of the steep climb being about 900 feet above the sea. 
Here the route turns southeast following up a small cascading stream 
for about If miles to a sharp divide 1,915 feet above the sea. A gentle 
descent of a mile, largely through muskegs, terminates at Cascapedia 
Jake at a height of 1,700 feet. This is a beautiful body of water, about 
2 miles long, running southeast between low mountains. 
The dip in the Shickshocks at the pass is very pronounced, the ridge 
rising some hundreds of feet on each side, probably to 2,500 feet. The 
rocks observed above the plain are chloritic and Semitic schists of green 
and gre}' colours, standing nearly vertically. Although no evidence 
of glacial work was seen on the ridge there is boulder clay on the lower 
ground charged with local stones. 
The pass to the headwaters of Cascapedia river is the lowest route 
across the mountains known to the guide, -Joseph Tanguay of St. Anne- 
des-Monts, though there is another pass from the lake used in winter 
by hunters from Cap-Chat, which may be as low. This dip in the range 
cuts off the group of high summits of the Mount Logan region from the 
still higher ones at the headwaters of Ste. Anne river, and the precipitous 
face of the mountains here makes a marked bend to the east. 
Headwaters of Ste. Anne River 
Ste. Anne river may be navigated in canoes or boats for 33 miles, to 
its forks near the foot of the higher mountains, and with the exception of 
one or two bad chutes the whole distance is made by poling at usual stages 
of the water. Two expeditions were made to the mountains by this 
route, one in July, 1918, with J. Fortin and H. Pelletier, as guides; the 
other in July, 1919, with Joseph Tanguay and Wilfrid Perree. The 
journey may be made in a day and a half under favourable conditions, but 
in 1919, with extremely low water, it required two and a half very long days. 
In most respects the river is like Cap-Chat river but somewhat rougher 
and more winding. Navigation ceases at a camp near the foot of mount 
Albert at 612 feet, instead of at 434 feet as on the Cap-Chat, and on the 
Cap-Chat the forks at which one stops are south of the highest range of 
mountains. Murray, who visited the forks in 1845, made the level 620 
feet. 
For the first 13 miles, to C6t5 creek referred to previously, the direction 
is a little east of south. It then turns east near the foot of the range, 
with foothills sometimes 1,000 feet high to the north; and finally at the
