Excerpt from Sessional Papers, Vol. 18: Part 1.-Third Session of the Fifth Legislature of the Province of Ontario, Session 1886

Sir, - I have the honour to submit herewith my Report on that part of the Provincial Territory explored by me during the past season.

My attention has been chie¿y directed to an examination of what is known as the Long Lake Route, from Lake Superior to James' Bay.

The object, as you are aware, was to obtain such information relative thereto, as might aid and assist the Government in deciding upon the best mode of Opening up and developing an important section of the territory drained by the Kenogami River and its tributaries, and at the same time of promoting and encouraging commercial intercourse with Hudson's Bay.

It affords me much pleasure to acknowledge the obligations I am under to Dr. Bell, of the Geological Survey of Canada, for reports, maps and tracings, showing the results of his own exploration and surveys in this territory, which have been of the greatest use and assistance to me throughout.
