Excerpt from Conditions in the Clay Belt of New Ontario P. 17. From the twenty-third to twenty-eight mile post the land is mostly all muskeg, or spongy moss covered with open swamps, in which we could Sink to our ankles. This we concluded were good peat beds. The timber will not average more than four or five cords per acre for at least five miles north of these posts.

From the thirty-sixth to the fortieth mile post for five miles north, there are only small patches of timber that would make pulpwood, but not in quantity. There is no soil suitable for agri culture.
