Ontario has 334 miles, Quebec 140, New Brunswick 12, Nova Scotia 12, Manitoba 13, and British Columbia 45 miles. Keturns were received from 39 companies. One company has ceased operations. All Railways, Steam and Electric. At the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, the conjoined statistics of steam and electric roads (including street railways), show the following results: — The num- ber of companies making returns was 118. There were 19,426 miles of railway com- pleted, 19,271 miles being in operation. The paid up capital amounted to $1,140,445,- 269. The gross earnings were $90,152,940, and the total working expenses $61,146,447, making the net earnings $29,006,493; 158,361,376 passengers, and 42,642,709 tons of freight were carried; 27 passengers were killed. GOVEKNMENT RAILWAYS IN OPERATION. The railways maintained by the government are : The Intercolonial, the Windsor Branch (maintained only), and the Prince Edward Island Railways. Details respecting these railways and their operations will be found in the appen- dices, Part I., containing reports from the chief engineer of the department, the gen- eral manager of government railways, and the officials, of these roads. The gross earnings of all the government roads for the past fiscal year, 1901-2, amounted to $5,918,990.43, and compared with those of the preceding year, show an in- *In the annual report for 1900-1, the figures given were 675 miles completed, 672 in oper- ation, and 670 laid with steel rails, 158 double track. These figures are erroneous, certain com- panies having added the length of their second track to their mileage. fin the statements furnished by the companies for 1900-1, some companies had included their floating debt in their paid up capital, the aggregate so included being $1,955,176, making the total $39,076,019. This error has now been corrected, except in the cases of four com- panies who have included their floating debt, the aggregate being $354,424.17, by which am- ount, accordingly, the paid up capital should be reduced. JThe city street railways carried passengers as follows: — Montreal, 48,858,373; Toronto, 41,689,258; Ottawa, 6,988,370; Quebec, 4,192,799; Hamilton, 3,845,789; Winnipeg, 3,845,668; London, 3,744,469; Halifax, 2,540,000; St. John, 1,771,522; and Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster (operated by one company and returns amalgamated), 7,670,468. REPORT OF THE DEPITY MINISTER yjii SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 crease of $705,609.23. The gross working expenses amounted to $5,861,099.54, an in- crease of $122,048. The net gain on the operations of the year was $57,890.89. The Intercolonial produced a profit of $96,822.61 ; the Windsor branch (one-third of total earnings), a profit of $33,228.32, and the Prince Edward a loss of $72,160.04. The above figures include rental, $140,000, paid for the extension of the Interco- lonial into Montreal. INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY. On March 1, 1898, the operations of the Intercolonial were extended to Montreal by means of leases obtained from the Grand Trunk and Drummond County Railway Companies, making an addition of 169-81 miles to the operation of the government line; its length being now 1,314 67 miles. The leasing agreement with the Grand Trunk Railway Company, dated February 1, 1898, was confirmed by the Act 62-63 Vic, chap. 5 (1899). Its term extends for a period of ninety-nine years from March 1, 1898 ; the annual rental being fixed at $140,- 000. Under authority of the Act 62-63 Vic, chap. 6 (1899), the Drummond County Railway from Chaudiere to Ste. Rosalie, together with the branch from St. Leonard to Nicolet was acquired by the Dominion; conveyance being made by a deed dated November 7, 1899. • The accountant of the railway hap dealt with the rental paid under the Grand Trunk Railway lease (the only one now remaining) as an addition to the ordinary working expenses, and, in his comparative statement of averages for each year, both with the rental included, and also with the rental omitted. The statements of the gen- eral manager, however, are based on figures from which the rental is omitted. This explanation will cover any seeming discrepancy of statement in the matter. The ac- countant of the department, in his statements (Part II.), includes the rental, and it is also included in my present report. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. During the fiscal year there was an addition of $4,670,590.80 to the capital account expenditure, making the total expenditure chargeable to ' capital ' on the whole road as amalgamated under the Acts 54-55 Vic, chap. 50 (1891), and 62-63 Vic, chap. 5 and 6 (1899), up to June 30, 1902, $68,645,852.58. The general manager, in his present report, sets down the total cost to Jui)' 1902, as $68,310,619.55. The total cost up to that date is set down by the accountant of the department (Part II., p. 32), as $68,645,852.58 as above stated. This agrees with the public accounts. The difference, $335,233.03, is made up of two items, viz., expen- diture on the old Montreal and European Short Line Railway between the years 1885 Xiv DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 and 1894, $333,942.72, and expenditure on the Governor General's car in the year 1896, $1,290.31. The additions made during the year included: for increased accommodation at Halifax, $71,928; at St. John, $111,299; at Sydney, $77,609; at Stellarton, $20,488; at Pictou, $42,661 ; and at Levis, $75,341 ; for increased sidings, $157,998 ; for strengthen- ing bridges, $93,431; for engine houses, $135,049; for additional rolling stock, includ- ing 32 locomotives and 1,302 box freight cars, $2,066,879; for applying air-brakes to freight cars, $23,688; for steel rails and fastenings, $188,190; Strait of Canso ferry, $293,000; arbitrators' awards, Eastern Extension Eailway in N. S., $671,836, and in N. B., $280,692. Details will be found in the reports of the General Manager and other officers, Part I., pp. 59-117. REVENUE ACCOUNT. The gross earnings of the year amounted to $5,671,385.91, an increase of $699,- 150.04, and the working expenses to $5,574,563.30 (including $140,000 rent paid for the extension into Montreal), being an increase in comparison with the previous year (when the same rental was paid) of $114,140.66) the earnings exceeding the expendi- ture by $96,822.61 ; whereas in the previous year, the expenditure exceeded the earnings by $488,186.77. Of the expenditure for the past year, the item of ' locomotive power,' is answerable for $2,030,928.40, an increase of $59,940.70. Comparing the earnings with those of the previous year, the passenger traffic pro- duced $1,770,941.13, or 31-23 per cent of the gross earnings, an increase of $163,777.34; the freight traffic amounted to $3,644,513.42, or 64*26 per cent of the gross earnings, an increase of $523,507.27, and the carriage of mail and express freight produced $255,- 931.36, or 4 -51 per cent of the gross earnings, an increase of $11,868.43. The earnings per mile of railway were $4,313.92, an increase of $531.81. The working expenses per mile (including rental of the extension to Montreal) amounted to $4,240.25, an increase of $86.81.

WINDSOR BRANCH. This road is 32 miles in length. It extends from Windsor Junction, on the Inter- colonial Railway, to Windsor. The railway is operated by the Dominion Atlantic Railway Company, formerly the Windsor and Annapolis Railway Company. The company pay all charges in con- nection with the working of the traffic, two-thirds of the gross earnings being allowed them, the government taking the remaining one-third, and assuming all costs of main- tenance of the road and works. This arrangement is carried out under an agreement dated December 13, 1892, which extends, for a further term of 21 years, arrangements similar to those made in 1871. All charges for superintendence and supervision of maintenance of works are borne by the government ; the duty of supervision being performed by the chief officers of the Intercolonial Railway.

The company having applied for this subsidy, a contract was entered into with them for the work on August 26, 1901, under authority of orders in council of June 8 and July 6, 1901; the time for completion being fixed as August 1, 1903. The road was built from Lardo to Trout Lake, 33 miles, and was inspected in June, 1902, with a view to its being opened for public traffic. Xo portion of the subsidy had been paid up to the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1902. Lake Erie and Detroit River Railway Company. Formerly ' the Lake Erie, Essex and Detroit Railway Company.' Xame changed by Dominion Act, 54-55 Vic, ch. 88 (1891). (See Annual Reports for 1889-90 and 1893-94.) (See No. 463.) Up to the end of the fiscal year 1893-94, this company had received subsidies to the extent of $338,731. By the Subsidy Act, 62-63 Vic, ch. 7 (1899), the grant of a subsidy to this com- pany was authorized, namely, for a line from Ridgetown, Ont., to St. Thomas, 44 miles, the subsidy to be payable only in the event of adequate running rights over the Canada Southern Railway being granted them on terms to be approved by the Railway Com- mittee of the Privy Council. The matter came before the Railway Committee, who decided that such rights could not be assured on terms that they could approve, and advised that a subsidy con- tract should be granted to the company. On June 23, 1900, the company were admitted to contract accordingly. During the past fiscal year subsidy to the extent of $137,120 has been paid, mak- ing the total subsidy payments $475,851 up to June 30, 1902. L'Assomption Railway Company.

The Perth branch of the Rideau canal affords communication between Beveridge's bay, on Lake Rideau, and the town of Perth. The summit level of the Rideau system is at upper Lake Rideau, but several of the descending reaches are also supplied by waters which have been made tributary to them. The following description gives the sources of supply : — From the summit, the route towards Ottawa follows the Rideau river, and that towards Kingston follows the River Cataraqui. The supply of water for the canal is derived from the reserves given in detail below. These may be divided into three systems, viz. : — 1. The summit level, supplied by the Wolfe lake system. 2. The eastern descending level to Ottawa, supplied by the River Tay system, discharging into Lake Rideau. 3. The south-west descending level to Kingston, supplied by the Mud lake system formerly known as the Devil lake system, discharging into Lake Openicon. Lake Openicon receives the waters of Buck lake and Rock lake. 14 DEPARTMENT OF RAIL A fS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 All these waters on the descending level, supplemented by those of Lake Lough- 1 ><>n>', flow into Cranberry lake, which, discharging through Round Tail outlet, forms the Unci- Cataraqui. The river, tendered navigable by dams at various points, affords a line of na\ igation to Kingston. KICHELIEU AND LAKE CHAMPLAIN. This system, commencing at Sorel, at the confluence of the Rivers St. Lawrence and Richelieu, 46 miles below Montreal, extends along the River Richelieu, through the St. Ours lock to the basin of Chambly; thence, by the Chambly canal, to St. Johns, and down the River Richelieu to Lake Champlain. The distance from Sorel to the boundary line is 81 miles. At Whitehall, the southern end of Lake Champlain is entered, and connection is obtained with the River Hudson, by which the city of New York is directly reached. From the boundary line to New York the distance is 330 miles. The following table shows the distances between Sorel and New York: — Section of Navigation.

The term 'Trent canal' is applied to a series of water stretches, which do not, how- ever, form a connected system of navigation, and which, in their present condition, are efficient only for local use. By various works this local use has been extended, and bv others, now in progress and contemplation, this will become a through route between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron. The series is composed of a chain of lakes and rivers, extending from Trenton, at the mouth of the River Trent, on the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario, to Lake Huron. Many years ago the utilizing of these waters for the purpose of through water com- munication between Lake Huron and Lake Ontario was projected. The course, as originally contemplated and modified, is as follows: — Through the River Trent. Rice lake, the River Otonabee and Lakes Clear, Stony, Lovesick, Deer, Buckhorn, Chemong, Pigeon, Sturgeon and Cameron to Lake Balsam, the summit water, about 165 miles from Trenton : from Lake Balsam by a canal and the River Talbot to Lake Simcoe : thence by the River Severn to Georgian bav, Lake Huron : the total distance being about 200 miles, of which only about 15 or 20 miles will be actual canal. The full execution of the scheme, commenced by the Imperial government in 1837, was deferred. By certain works, however, below specified, sections of these waters' have been made practicable for navigation, and the whole scheme is now being carried out. A branch of the main route, extending from Sturgeon lake south, affords communication with the town of Lindsay, and, through Lake Scugog to Port Perry, a distance of 190 miles from Trenton. 16 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA 78 AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. .903 The following table gives the, distance ef navigable and unnavigable reaches : — Prom Trenton, Bay of Quinte* to Nine Mile rapids.

By these works there is afforded communication between Lakefield, 9| miles from Peterborough, and Balsam lake, the headwaters of the system ; opening up a total of about 160 miles of direct and lateral navigation. At Lakefield, (.M miles from Peterborough, the dam at the head of the Nine Mile rapids of the River Otonabee, maintains navigation on Lake Katchewannoe up to Young's Point. At Young's Point, 5 miles from Lakefield, the dam between Lake Katchewannoe and Clear lake controls the water level through Clear and Stony lakes up to the foot of the Burleigh canal. The lock here, it should be observed, is controlled by the Pro- vincial government. At Burleigh Rapids, 10 miles from Young's Point, a canal, about 2\ miles in length, passes the Burleigh and Lovesick rapids, and gives communication between Stony lake and Deer bay. At Buckhorn rapids, 7 nubs from Burleigh Rapids, there is a canal about one- fourth of a mile long. At Bobcaygeon, 15| miles from Buckhorn Rapids, a dam, 553 feet long, controls the water level up to Fenelon Falls. At Fenelon Falls, 15 miles from Bobcaygeon, a canal about one-third of a mile in length connects Sturgeon lake with Cameron lake. i CHIEF ENGINEER'S RE POUT 17 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The following is a list of the locks, with their dimensions : — 1 Lock at Rosedale (maintained by the Ontario government) . . 100' x 30' x 4' 6" to 6' 6" depth water on mitre sill. 2 Locks at Fenelon 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 7' 6" depth water on mitre sill. 1 " Lindsay 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 7' 0" 1 " Bobcaygeon. . . 134' x 33' x 5' 8" to T 6" " 1 " Buckhorn... .134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 9' 0" 1 " Lovesick 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 9' 4" 2 " Burleigh 134' x 33' x 6' 0" to 8' 0" 1 " Young's Point (a Provincial government work) 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 14' 0" depth water on mitre sill. 1 " Peterborough. 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 10' 0" depth water on mitre sill. 1 " Hastings 134' x 33' x 7' 0" to 10' 6" 1 " Chisholm's ... 134' x 33' x 5' 0" to 8' 6" 13 ST.

MARIE (ANAL. This canal is cut through St. Mary's Island ; it is 1^ miles in length. The canal proper has a depth of 22 feet of water in the prism, with 20 feet 4 inches of water on mitre sill of the lock, at low water, which is equivalent to the depth on the American lock. The dredging out of the lower entrance for a depth of 21 feet 5 inches at low water, with a minimum width of 300 feet, has been completed this season. It now remains to treat the upper entrance in a similar manner, deepening the channel, which has only 18 feet at low water, to 21 feet 5 inches, and widening out the entrance to give safer passage for vessels approaching and departing from the canal. It is also found to be absolutely necessary to increase the length of the entrance piers at each end of the canal about 800 feet.

This canal, when completed, is designed to extend from Trenton on the Bay of Quinte to the Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, at the mouth of the Severn River, the total distance being about 200 miles, of which 20 miles are canal and about 180 miles river and lake navigation. The works now under contract are : — Section 2 of the Peterboro-Lakefield Division is about 4 miles in length. Messrs. Cony & Laverdure are the contractors for the construction of this section, with the exception of the steel structure for the hydraulic lift. I am pleased to be able to report that [Messrs. Corry & La verdure's work is completed, and is a very creditable piece of work of which they have reason to be proud. The steel structure is now in course of erection by the Dominion Bridge Company of Montreal. Section 1 of the Peterboro-Lakefield division is about 6£ miles in length. Messrs. Brown, Love & Aylmer are the contractors. The works are completed with the excep- tion of a few hundred yards of dredging in the Otonabee River near Lakefield : the work is well done. Amongst other features it comprised 5 dams and 5 locks. These locks are constructed of concrete, and have a very neat, finished appearance. The length of the Peterboro-Lakefield division is about 10^ miles. Section 1. — Balsam-Simcoe division, Andrew Onderdonk, contractor. This section extends from Balsam Lake, 6 miles, to Kirkfield, a distance of about 6 miles. The work is completed and has been accepted. Section 2 of the Balsam-Simcoe division. Messrs. Larkin iir Sangster are the con- tractors for this section which is about 1\ mdes long. Embraced in this contract is the construction of an hydraulic lift lock. The work is well advanced, the bulk of work remaining to be done being in the vicinity of the hydraulic lift lock, the construction of which is not yet commenced, but the entrance concrete walls and cross wall are built. The prism of the canal is practically completed and the abutments and piers of the several bridges are finished. Section 3 of the Balsam-Simcoe division. Messrs. Brown & Aylmer are the con- tractors. The section is about 5J miles in length and extends to Lake Simcoe. The work of constructing the piers and abutments of the several bridges is far advanced : the concrete work of one lock is completed, and is well advanced on a second lock. Con- siderable progress has been made in forming the prism of the canal, and a dredge is at work dredging out the entrance to the canal from Lake Simcoe. The length of the Balsam-Simcoe division is about 19 miles.

LACHIXE CANAL. This canal extends from Montreal to Lachine, a distance of 8i miles. The mitre silk of the locks have 14 feet of water upon them, the stone lining of the prism of the canal is still in progress, but it is slow work, as the major portion of it can only be done when the canal is unwatered in the spring, for about a month. The lower portion of this canal as far up as the St. Gabriel Basins is being dredged out to a depth of 20 feet below low water, so that large vessels can enter the several basins. The machinery for operating the lock gates, valves, and bridges by electricity is in course of construction, and it is confidently expected all will be in place and in working condition by the opening of navigation next spring : — The total expenditure up to June 30, 1901 is 88,419,876 09 Expended from June 30. 1901, to June 30, 1902 113,328 26 Total expenditure on enlargement up to June 30, 1902. $8,533, 204 35 Expended from June 30, 1902, to October 1, 1902 7,569 44 Total expenditure on enlargement up to Oct. 1, 1902.88,540,773 79 CORNWALL CANAL.

The wurks of actual enlargement are completed, the only work incidental thereto yet to be done is the strengthening of the bank and building protection wall and wharf at Cornwall, which is under contract with Mr. J. J. Fallon. The work is well advanced, and it is expected that it will be completed next season, when the canal is unwatered for spring repairs. The machinery for operating the lock weirs, valves, and bridges, and for moving vessels through the locks by electricity, is being placed in position, and at those of the new locks, valves and weirs where the work is completed they are being worked by electrical power anil the results are most satisfactory.

IMPROVEMENTS. The Trunk Line extends from Port Dalhousie on Lake Ontario to Port Colborne on Lake Erie, a distance of 26| miles : — Port Colborne Improvements. — This work is under contract with Messrs. Hogan and McDonnell. These gentlemen have a contract with the Public Works Department for the construction of a breakwater at this point, a work of great importance, to be completed at the earliest date possible; hence the works of improvement under contract with this department have been allowed to drag along slowly, to enable the contractors to apply their energies and resources to the completion of the breakwater. The conse- quence is, that the improvement works at the entrance to the canal are not as far advanced as might otherwise reasonably have been expected. The only mishap that has occurred in the carrying- on of this work is the shifting of some cribs, from the pressure caused by the breaking away of the surface behind them. However, only two cribs will have to be taken out and replaced. Greater progress with this work is looked for next season, as the breakwater is so far advanced towards completion that it will not require the same amount of attention as has been bestowed upon it by the contractors during the past season. When this work is completed it will no doubt be greatly appre- ciated by those engaged in the business of transportation.

Sur- veys have been made during the year of portions of the channel, with the view of locating shoals which it might be advantageous to cut a way through, in order to straighten and improve the present deep water channel. 44 DEVA ETMENT OF HA II.

During the time the repairs were being made all the traffic was passed through the new locks. Shortly after this such serious breaks occurred in old locks 1 and 2, that they have had to be closed to navigation and cannot be opened until the extensive repairs which are necessary are done.

The subsidies voted for railways are in such a form that it is not possible to show the amount of cash subsidy granted, as the amount of sudsidy will, in many based upon the cost of each road. For this reason, I am again, this year, unable to _ the amount of each subsidy available, but, as heretofore, I shall show the amount paid ; also the number of miles of railway for which subsidy granted per mile, was available on July 1, 1901, and the number of miles of railway built up to .July 1. 1902, for which cash subsidy per mile was granted.

North Street Station.— On accounl of the largely increased traffic it was decided to to remodel and enlarge the station. Plans and specifications were prepared, tenders asked and contract awarded to [Haley & Horn, of Toronto. The work was almost completed. Rearranged yard at North Street. Rearranged coal trestle and tracks at Deep Water Terminus. Suction pipe D.W.T., encased in cedar culvert. Concrete ash pit built. Surveys and drawings were made for additions to and rearrangement of yard tracks and buildings anil plans were prepared for a new engine house. 7" Dredge and Blast Rock at Halifax. The contract to dredge and blast rock from the dock on the south side of pier No. 4, Halifax, was continued to provide 28 feet of water at extreme low tide. The I.C.K. dredge has also been digging the mud and softer materials to provide 30 feet of water at extreme low tide on the north side of No. 3 pier, and in the docks between Nos. 2 and 3 piers. The docks were sounded and gauged and plans prepared showing depths of water, for the use of those interested. To Comphte Highway Bridge at Rocky Lake. The erection of a steel overhead highway bridge, made by the Dominion Bridge Co., was completed. Some additional grading of the highway approaches and fencing was done. The highway is now in good condition. The three level crossings are now closed and all traffic goes by the new road. Increased Accommodation at SteUarton. During the year 3 ■ 81 acres of land were purchased to provide room for tracks to accommodate the increased traffic. A considerable cpuantity of grading for the new yard has been done. One culvert has been lengthened, another partly lengthened, and track materials delivered on the ground. A 50,000 gallon wooden water tank on a trestle 25 feet high has been erected. Three Fairbanks. Morse & Co., No. 6 water columns have been supplied, but are not yet erected. Towards Improvements at Mvlgrave. The yard was enlarged by completing the filling in the space back of the crib bulk- head built in 1900-1, with material excavated by steam shovel from the cutting towards Pilate Cove. Anchor rods were put in to tie back the bulkhead. The 56 lb. yard rails were taken up and replaced with 67 lb. rails, fitted with split switches and automatic switch stands. Additional tracks were provided and ballast for the yard brought from James River and River Denys. One Ellis bumping post was provided at end of freight house siding. The old cold storage plant belonging to Messrs. Loggie Bros., on railway property, was removed and the ground graded. i INTEHCOLONIAL RAILWAY 91 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 Toivards Improving Ferry Service at Strait of.Ownso. The new ferry steamer Scotia, built by Sir W. G. Armstrongj Whitworth a- Co., Newcastle-on-Tyne, readied Mulgrave on September 28. On the voyage she encountered heavy weather and the fuel ran out. She was picked up adrift and towed into St. Johns, Newfoundland. This necessitated sending her to Halifax to be docked and examined. where painting and scraping was also done. The dimensions and capacity are as follows : Length 282 feet, width 48 feet, load 9 passenger cars, or IS freight cars. No. of tracks :>. indicated horse power, 2,000. Three Ellis bumping posts were put on deck of Scotia and a number of car fastenings provided. The two transfer bridges, built under contract with the Dominion Bridge Co. of Montreal, one at Mulgrave and the other at Point Tupper, have been completed. Length 200 feet each in 3 leaves. Two hoisting engines and boilers of 35 horse-power each, built under contract with Rawson, Morrison it Co., of Cambridgeport, Mass., have been delivered and erected in 18 ft. x 2-4 ft., power houses, made large enough to accommodate a future electric lighl plant. Extensive crib and pile wharfs were built at Mulgrave and Point Tupper to pro vide docks for the accommodation of the Scotia and in connection with the transfer bridges. These wharfs are faced with double rows of spring piling to lessen the effects of blows from the steamer in docking. Heavy guard cribs filled with stone, were also constructed at Point Tupper, north and south of the dock for protection against drift ice. Special cast-iron mooring-posts and elevated bollards were provided on the wharfs on both sides of the strait to assist in docking the Scotia in heavy weather. The dredging at Mulgrave and Point Tupper necessary for crib-wharfs and docks has been completed. This work was done under contract with M. Connolly, of Montreal. The work of enlarging Point Tupper engine-house was completed. Inn-eased Accommodation at Sydney. During the year, the railway purchased 18,886 square feet of land (being 261 feet long and 60 to 85 feet in width) to the north of Ferry street and adjoining the right of way. This is for the purpose of improving the connection between the station and freight yards. 10-23 square acres of land were also purchased from the Dominion Iron and Steel Co. During the summer and fall, the railway worked a steam shovel at Barrack Point, and filled in a portion of Louisa Gardens. During the spring of 1902, the I. C. R. worked a steam shovel at Sydney river, and the excavated material was used to grade up the new yard. The ballast for the yard was brought from the River Denys ballast pit. Seven new sidings have been provided on the west side of the main line. A number of sidings have been laid between the main line and Muggah creek for coaling tracks and repair yard ; these will be finished in the ensuing year. The crib protection at the back of the engine house has been extended and com- pleted. A 100,000 gallon water tank, 50 feet high has been provided. A concrete hot-well in connection with the engine house is under construction. The 6 in. C. I. water pipe in the old yard has been extended to the new yard and engine house, but the water service has not yet been completed. Sydney station house was remodelled and provided with water closets on both floors. Seating for waiting rooms was also provided. To Raise Sydney and Louisbonrg Railivay Bridge over I.C.R. at Sydney. The Dominion Coal Co. was communicated with on this matter. An agreement was prepared which has not yet been executed. 92 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 S( a Wall i a f 'i' ton.

Dear Sir, — I beg herewith to submit my seventh annual report on the operation (it this canal for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. The canal was closed for traffic last season on December 21, having been in opera tion for 246 days and was opened for business on April 1, this present season. During the fiscal year just ended there has been made 3,257 lockages passing through -4,34:3 registered craft and 477 unregistered vessels with a total tonnage of 3,078,440 tons with an average time of 15-25 minutes to each lockage. Of this tonnage 1,010,887 tons was of Canadian bottoms, being an increase of 421,357 tons over lasl year's tonnage of this class. In the total tonnage for the year there was an increase of 589, Ls2 tons. The increase can be attributed no doubt to the accident to the swing bridge crossing the American Canal by reason of which the American canal was closed for traffic for five days (June 7-12) and the whole of the Lake Superior traffic had to be carried through this canal, taxing it to more than its capacity. During this rush of traffic, although we only had half the width of the lower channel to operate in owing to the dredging .u'oing on there, still we did not have any accidents or groundings as in former rushes of this kind. We are very much indebted to the assistance of the American canal officials and also of their revenue cutter service in keeping the vessels in their proper places during the blockade as we did not have sufficient piers to hold the boats waiting their turn for lockage, and had to hold them out in the river at both ends and have them sent in the canal in their proper turn. At the present time of writing the dredging in the lower ent ranee is completed and the work taken from off the contractor's hands and we now have a draught of 21 feet 6 inches of water, so vessel captains will not have the excuse of shallow water for not using the canal as in former years, and it remains to be seen whether the spending of so many thousand dollars by the Government on this approach is appreciated by the vessel men or not. The machinery has been thoroughly gone over and repaired and is in good working order, and there has been no breakag The buildings have been all painted and the swing dam is now being done. Last .September the new lower main gates were put in by Messrs. J. & R. Miller, necessitating the closing of the canal whilst so doing. Owing to the -ate pontoon break- ing down this closing down was of a longer period than we expected. During the winter we have built a new and better gate pontoon capable of lifting at least 1- "id tons. So far the new gates have been working all right and giving good satisfaction. Very little damage has been done to the walls and piers by vessels usinu' the canal. The east half of the lower north pier has been replanked and it will be necessary next year to nearly replank the whole of the remaining piers. The daily exchange of vessel reports with American canal officials is still carried on, thus keeping intact the whole volume of the Lake Superior traffic as in former years. In my last report I spoke of the large traffic passing through the two canals at this point as being a record breaker, but when one comes to see the report of the traffic for the season of 1901, it is hided a record breaker as there was nearly three million tons more freight carried than in 1900, and from present indications this present season thee will be a record far above the thirty million ton mark. 141 DEPABTJf&NT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The following table gives the traffic passed through the canal at this poinl since the opening of the first canal in 185") on the American side and the Canadian canal in 1895.

The Soulanges Canal was arranged from the outset for the recep- tion of machinery on the general lines of that now in use. The following description is taken principally from a paper prepared by the Canadian General Electric Co., who did all the electrical work connected with the lighting and power throughout. 20— i— 10i 148 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA T8 AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The application of alternating current apparatus to work of this class being a novelty, many interesting engineering problems were encountered and successfully Bob i'i|. As stated in previous reports the hydraulic equipment at the power house con- sists of two wheel pits, in each of which are installed two pair of 24 inch Victor tur- bines "ii one horizontal shaft operating under a head of about 20 feet, al 225 r.p.m.: ami discharging into Graisse River, which is used as a tailrace. Bach se1 of wheels is furnished with a Geisler governor. To each of these two water-wheel units, is coupled a three phase revolving Held (id cycle generator of 264 kilowatts (ijiio h.p.) capacity at 2,400 volts, each generator being Betonaheavy concrete foundation capped by large dressed stone. Two four pole exciters are also furnished, each of 17 kilowatt capacity at 125 volts being* sufficient to excite the fields of both generators. These are driven by belts from the main water wheel-shafts. The switchboard is of blue Vermont marble, the end being guarded by a brass grille work which also extends around the top. It comprises five panels 90 inchs high, and has a total width of 1 2 feet. Two generator panels each furnished with a three- pole main switch of the old break type ; three ampere meters and one volt meter, all of the Thomson inclined coil type: — three expulsion fuse blocks, one volt meter and synchronizing plug switches— two pilot lamps, field rheostat and switch. One exciter panel furnished with two main exciter switches, two ampere meters, one volt meter switch, two field rheostats and two pilot lamps: two feeder panels each furnished with two three-pole quick break switches, one for power and one for an- lights— two amme- ters six explosion fuse blocks, and two electrostatic ground detectors. The wiring is such as to admit of any circuit being connected to either or both machines. The cables between switchboards and machines are carried in conduit, which is covered by iron checker plate. The lighting of the power house is effected by means of 16 c.p. incandescent lamps set very closely togother just below steel beams which carry the travelling crane, each lam}) being set at an angle of (•"» with the horizontal and provided with a neat reflector. The wiring is concealed in moulding, and switches are provided to turn on the light in ms. A hand-operated travelling crane is provided of sufficient capacity to easily handle the heaviest parts of the generators. A novel feature of the generator room is the marble mosaic floor, also the substantial brass railing forming a passage-way down on,' side of the room. The switchboard is connected to the transmission lines by means of highly insu- lated lead encased cables which pass under the canal and terminate at fuse blocks placed in a neat and substantial terminal house in which are also located the lighting arresters protecting the cables from lightning discharges. From this terminal house (situated on the north bank of the canal) four three-phase circuits emerge. The circuit to the upper entrance at Coteau Landing (5 miles) consists of No. 6 B&S — the arc- lighting circuit being of the same size. The power circuit to the lower entrance at Cascades Point (9 miles) consists of No. 4 B^VrS, and the arc-lighting circuit No. 2 Ba:S : all bare copper wires. These transmission lines are carried on red cedar poles perfectly straight and dressed to an octagonal shape. They were brought from British Columbia, it having been found impossible to obtain satisfactory timber nearer. All poles are set 6 feet in the ground, and 120 feet apart : every fourth pole supporting an inclosed arc lamp. The lamp poles are 35 feet long and the others 30 feet ; and all are painted four coats white lead. The poles are all set with an instrument to both line and level, and therefore present a perfectly uniform appearance throughout. All six pin cross arms are strengthened by ornamental iron braces, and the brackets for supporting the lamp arms are of similar design. The lamps are of the multiple inclosed arc type : the capacity is 7.1, amperes (2,000 c.p.), all being furnished with clear outer and inner globes. The lamp cases are weather-proof and are furnished with an enamelled metal reflector. These lamps are each provided with thousand watt type H oil cooled transformer. This extra capacity is provided to ensure a large factor of safety, which precaution is carried out through the whole installation. Crossingthe canal are five electrically oper- i SOULAXGES CAXAL 149 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 ated road bridges. Four of these are on the summit level and one on the reach between locks .". and 4. The motors and controlling apparatus for these are contained in a cabin situated on the down-stream side of each bridge. The motors are of two h.p. operating at 220 volts and are geared to the turning mechanism. Between the electrical and bridge gearing a flexible friction is interposed which is operated by a lever, and acts either as a clutch or brake as occasion requires. The bridges (240 feet long) each weigh upwards of 100 tons and are opened or closed in about H minutes. On top of each bridge a red lantern is placed exactly on the centreline of the canal, BhOwing both ways as a danger signal when the bridge is closed. This lantern is lighted by a clustei of incandescent lamps. Bower is conveyed to the pivot pier of each bridge by means of submarine cables from a transformer placed in one of the adjacent line poles. The lock chambers have an effective length of 270 feet, with a width of about 46 feet. The gates are of Douglas fir from British Columbia, and are built on what is called the 'solid' plan. The lower gates of locks 1. 2 and •"> are 42 feet high and weigh over 70 tons. These are closed and opened by a steel I beam with a rack secured to it which is operated by a pinion. There are recesses or tunnels formed in the masonry to receive these beams when the twites are opened. The lock gates and stony sluices are operated by three-phase 220 volt constant speed induction motors in the following manner : — The lock gate motors are of 3 h. p. capacity, and are connected to the pinion which operates the rack by a pair of gears. Atone point, however, is interposed a friction device which is so arranged that by operating a lever two wide friction pulleys can be brought into contact, thus applying the power to move the gate ; and by reversing this lever a powerful brake is applied, which is used either to stop the motion of the gate or control its movements when nearing the mitre sill or approaching the back of the masonry recess. This brake also serves to hold the gate in position at all times. The mechanism connected with the motor is housed in a cast iron box fitted with a rain- proof cover. The top of this box stands about 15 inches over the top of the lock coping. The motor boxes are placed so as not to interfere with the ship's lines or the free naviga- tion of the lock. The lever which operates the friction is attached to a shaft which projects through the wall of the box, as does also another smaller lever which operates a reversing switch used to change the direction of rotation of motor. The power required to start the motor is very slight : the only friction at starting being that of a small pinion and gear and four bearings. The motor can be reversed in a very few ads. This feature is of much importance as it enables the motion of the gates to be changed very quickly in case of emergency. In order that the motormen may be able to tell the position of the sluice gates an indicating device is arranged inside the box by which an index hand outside shows when the gates arrive at the end of its travel in either direction. The mechanism is so arranged that the lock gates can be opened or closed in one minute. The sluice gates are operated on precisely the same principle as the lock gates, but the rate of travel is so arranged that they can be fully opened or shut in forty-five ds. The transformers which supply current to the lock motors are contained in a switch cabin of suitable size and design. These transformers, of which there are two, are of 7,500 watts capacity, thus allowing ample margin for overloads on the motors. The switch houses also contain a fuse cabinet which holds a fuse block for each motor and each lighting circuit. Above the fuse cabinet is arranged an enclosed -witch with a projecting handle to operate the same. By means of this switch current can be cut off from the entire lock. As these switch houses are used by the motormen, everything is arranged with a view to the greatest possible safety : and therefore all metal carrying current is inclosed in a substantial and effective manner. The cabins are lighted inside by 1<; c.p. incandescent lights, and outside on the face towards the lock are six •">"_' c.p. incandescent lamps in marine weather-proof fixtures. The lock motors are connected to the fuse block in the above mentioned fuse cabinet by means of highly insulated lead cables, which enter the cast iron motor boxes through brass stuffing boxes. The general 150 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA VS AND CANAL8 i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 l ii-rl 1 1 i 1 1 i_r i>t' tin' canal makes it as easily navigable by night as by day. Both entrances and all luck- arc lighted from both sides of the canal. The electrical apparatus is very effectively protected against lightning arresters of the short-gap type being installed at each lock and at every point where cables pass under the canal for lighting power or telephone services. All the locks. &c, are con- nected by a telephone system which has proved very effective during the navigation reason. Electrical heaters are placed in all switches and bridge cabins. These are 750 watts capacity each. This heating system is also adapted in the power house, in winch a 750 watt heater is installed in each of the living rooms and 4,000 watt heaters in the store room. The heaters are of the Simples Electrical Company's manufacture. The cost of running the electrical apparatus, including power house men, lamp trim- mers, linemen, superintendent, repairs, new material. Arc. is now about 85,000 per an- num. In this connection it should not be forgotten that night lighting almost doubles the carrying capacity of the canal — a great point in our short navigation season, while the precision of movement rendered possible by the use of machines will largely dimi- nish the chances of accident in stormy weather or during a time of numerous lockages. The business of. this canal to date is much less than last year. The chief cau£ this diminished tonnage is the great coal strike now on in the United States. .May to August, 1901, (both months inclusive) there passed here about 221,000 tons of coal. During the same period of 1902, this tonnage was only 70,000, a falling off, in this item alone, of about 150,000 tons. The grain traffic has not, however, diminished to any great extent the comparison May— August of 1901 and 1902, being as 323,543 tons to 306,238 tons grain of all kinds, while it is quite probable that during the next three months the volume will increase so much as to render 1902 a record grain season. It is of course too late now to recover the loss in coal tonnage in 1902. Indications of the ultimate success of the St. Lawrence route are slowly appearing. This line of trans- portation is in a transition state. The canals are complete to fourteen feet draught be- tween Lake Erie and tide water, but there are no vessels in existence to take full advant- age of their carrying capacity, while the most strenuous efforts are being made on behalf of the railways to retain the trade. It is, however, inevitable the bulk of the enormous grain crops of our own territories of Manitoba and the North-west which are increasing at a marvellous rate, shall eventually follow the national and natural route to Montreal instead of as heretofore being diverted to southern lines. Corroborative of this view, 1 may state that there are at present ten steel freight steamers of full Canadian canal size under contract for delivery in 1903 at various points on the upper lakes. These are to be 255 feet in length over all, 241 feet keel, 41 feet beam, and 18 feet in depth with triple expansion engines. They are to cost 8150,000 each, and it is reckoned they will cany 2.200 tons on 14 feet draught. This will form an efficient nucleus for the Can- adian grain Meet of the future. At 25 round trips, Port Colborne to Montreal, and assuming one-third return freight, they will move at least 750,000 tons in an ordinary sim -on. Preparations for an increased volume of trade are also being made in other directions ; the chief impediments now experienced being want of despatch at Montreal and the dangers to navigation between that port and the open sea, all of which will, it is to be hoped, disappear when the works of improvement now about being undertaken shall have been completed. OPERATION. The Soulanges canal was closed by ice on the 28th last November, and this formed so suddenly that nine tugs and barges were frozen in near the lower or Cascades Point end. Some of these were however released, but a few had to remain during the winter, without suffering much damage. The cross sectional area of the summit islar^eand the current so slow that the canal freezes sooner than if there were a current of say a mile per hour which w7ould probably follow the establishment of manufactories requiring con- siderable power, and for which a lease has been granted. T may say here that during i SOULAKGES CANAL 151 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 the past three seasons the water level of Lake St. Francis has been remarkably uniform, varying only a few inches from the plane of 155 above datum. The supplementary contract entered into with the Canadian General Electric Co., on April 23, 1901, which was for the complete installation of the electrie plant, as modified, expired on October 1 of last year. The period of this was extended to the date of opening the navigation in 1902, but so many vexatious delays occurred, that it seemed doubtful if even this extension would secure the completion of the work in time. This was however at last accomplished, with the results set forth at the beginning of this report. The machines are so simple that a fairly efficient staff to operate them was ob- tained by selection from the employees of last year. The force was reduced from 76 to 42 : the money saved to the close of the fiscal year 1901-2, being at the rate of almost $9,000 per annum. The earthworks, structures, &c, stand well, and it is now fairly certain that the canal slopes are consolidated under the new conditions and no extensive slides will again occur.

C. SCHREIBER, Esq., C.M.G., Deputy Minister and Chief Engineer, Railways and Canals, Ottawa. Sir, 1 have the honour herewith to submit my annual report on the works under my charge for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902. The canals in this division are the Lachine and the Beauharnois on the St. Law- rence route ; the Ste. Anne, the Carillon and the Grenville canals, on the Ottawa river, and the St. Ours luck and the Chambly canal on the Richelieu river. Of these, the Laehine canal is by far the most important, on account of its imme- diate connection with the harbour of Montreal, the great export centre of the Dominion. 'l'lii- traffic through it has rapidly increased of late years, owing to the development of industries and agriculture in western Canada and the Canadian North-west, and it will certainly take a still greater importance with the completion of the deepened canals, especially when adequate facilities for handling freight and grain shall have been pro- vided for. The Ottawa canals afford a most convenient route for the transportation of the produce of the extensive forests of the Ottawa valley, a large proportion of which finds its way to the United States through the Richelieu river canals. In view of repeated inquiries as to the largest vessels which can be passed through the lock-- of the canals of this division, I have thought it advisable to supplement the present report with sketches giving information on this point. See page 34. LACHINE CANAL. Length. 8| miles; 5 locks, 270 by 45 feet; 14 feet water on sills ; total rise. 45 feet. Old locks, 200 by 45 feet; still available with 9 feet of water on the sills. Navigation on this canal was uninterrupted during the year. A serious accident however occurred on June 3 last, wdien the steamer Ocean going westward collided with the upper gates of the old lock No. 1. Both pairs of gates were thrown down and more or less injured. While repairs were being made all boats had to use the new locks. A day or two after repairs had been completed a leak which had existed for a long time increased in a threatening manner. The canal diver was at once sent down, and after a thorough examination reported that both the sill and the walls above and below it were seriously undermined. The damage was found to be so serious that the lock was closed to navigation. It will not be reopened. Tenders for the rebuilding of both old locks 1 and 2 will shortly be invited. In the meantime the old basin between them, still accessible through old lock 1 is being used by freight boats, the R. O. Navigation Co.'s vessels which were formerly berthed here being given the use of one of the small basins near Colborne street. REPAIRS AND RENEWALS. The water was drawn out of the canal on April 1 and readmitted into it on May 1, 1902. i QUEBEC CANALS 153 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The most important repairs executed here during the fiscal year were as follows : — Three pairs of ;;ates, one each for new locks Nos. 2, 3 and 5 were taken apart. rebuilt and provided with butterfly valves in place of Townsend val\< The upper mitre sill of old lock No. ."> (St. Gabriel) which had been raised about i inches by the force of the water, was replaced in position and safely anchored. Some serious scouring had taken place at the foot of lock No. I (Cote St. Paul). The hole thus formed was completely filled with stone. However, more permanent repairs will have to he done shortly at this point by the extending of the platform. A piece of masonry on the south side of basin No. 2 at the fool of Colborne Btreetj whii-h was in an advanced stale of decay, was removed during April and replaced by a block of concrete, 30 feet long, 5 feet high and about 1 feet thick, faced with steel plate. The breastwall and the eastern buttress of waste weir No. 2 had been lately showing signs of weakening. Upon removing the planking below the breastwall in April last it was found that extensive scouring had taken place on a length of over 40 feet, the holes being as deep as 11 feet in some places. The eastern buttress was taken down and rebuilt after the foundation for it had been reformed of concrete. The spare between the two buttresses and between the buttresses and the abutments was similarly treated and the holes below filled with blocks of stone carefully packed by hand, after which new planking was placed over the whole width of the tailrace on a length of some 60 feet. The breastwall was also thoroughly grouted and a masonry wall on the east side of the tailrace torn down and replaced by a concrete wall. The iron covering on the roof of St. Gabriel shed No. 2 which was completely worn out, was renewed, such of the plank supporting it as was found unsound being also replaced. After a protracted rain in December last, the syphon culvert above Cote St. Paul bridge became choked by an accumulation in its outlet of a quantity of refuse and the low lands along the canal at that point were Hooded during a couple of days. The obstruction having been removed and the conduit thoroughly cleaned by the rush of water which followed, a strong iron rack was placed at the mouth of the inlet and a plank roof built over the syphon well in order to prevent refuse being either carried or dumped into it in future. The macadamizing of the road on the south side of the canal above C6te St. Paul bridge was continued during last summer, some 6,000 feet of it being built before the winter set in. An improvement on the work done previously was the compacting of the road metal with a heavy steam roller hired from the Municipality of St. Henry. This road i- now completed with the exception of 700 feet, the stone for which is on the ground. Besides the above a large amount of work was performed during the year in main- taining the various structures, viz., locks, bridges, piers, wharfs, buildings, fences, roads, &c. Traffic was unusually heavy throughout the year and as it increases, the demand for wharf accommodation in the lower section of the canal becomes greater. A good mean- of meeting this want would be the building of the large basin in the river as sketched out on the plan furnished you with my report of January 7. 1901, or the building of another basin oil' basin No. 2, on the site of the present dry dock. I again beg to call your attention to the fact that owing to the larger clas- of vessels now using the canal, the passage way at both Brewster's and Cote St. Paul bridges is practically too narrow. The swing at these p >ints only covers a channel 45 feet in width on either side of the centre pier, the bridge between the swing and the banks being formed of two small piers and fixed spans. I would strongly advise the replacing of the said two antiquated bridges by -tee] structures of sufficient length t'> dispense with the fixed spans. DEEl'KXIV; BETWEEN LOCK SO. 2 AND LOCK Xo. 3. The work done under the above head during last year consisted mostly in the deepening of the whole of basin 3 and part of basin 4. St. Gabriel, to one foot below 154 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA FB AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 the plane of the mitre sill of lock No. 3.

POWER BOUSE AM) KLECTRIC station AT COTE 8T. PAUL. During winter all the electric machinery was put in place and a few minor changes made in the building. About the middle of April last everything was in running order. The station is equipped with two 60-inch special new American turbines, driving the generators and one 16-inch turbine of the same make running the exciter, switch- boards, generator panel, transformers, CA NA L S \ 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 M I l.i. STREET P LVING. The portion of Mill street lying between the tailraces of waste weirs No. l and No. 2, was paved with syenite blocks laid on a 6 inch concrete foundation in the fall of 1901, the contractors for the work being "The Sicily Asphaltum Paving Co." Both sides of the roadway, which is .".() feet wide, were lined with heavy curbstones and neces- sary drainage pipes laid at the lower points. This work was done in a very substantia] manner and to the entire satisfaction of the city authorities, who have agreed to take over the street and maintain it in future. In connection with the above work, the bridge over the tailraee of waste-weir No. 1, was widened, the stone abutments being entirely removed and rebuilt, and the old wooden superstructure replaced by heavy steel girders. The construction of and the preparing of the final estimate for the new regulating weir, as well as the paving Mill street, was supervised by Mr. G. L. Viger. BEAUHARNOIS CANAL. Length, 1 1 \ miles ; 9 locks, 200 feet x 45 feet ; 9 feet of water on sills ; total rise. 82 j feet. Since the opening of the Soulanges canal to navigation, the traffic through the Beauharnois canal has been very light, a few market boats only using it. The day will soon come when it will have to be permanently closed. A number of bridges, roads, &C., will, however have to be maintained by the department unless the whole canal were leased for industrial purposes. REPAIRS AND RENEWALS. The rebuilding of the waste weir at lock No. 10, which had been commenced in the spring of 1901, was completed last fall. The bottom part of the breast and wing walls was made of concrete and the stone in the old weir used in the top part of the struc- ture. The temporary weir was also removed and the banks of the head race repaired. A ferry scow was built during the year and considerable work performed on the Hungry Bay dyke which had been seriously damaged by the waters of Lake St. Francis. CHAMBLY CANAL. Length, 12 miles ; 9 locks, 118 feet x 22.1. feet : 6| feet of water on the sills ; total rise, 74 feet. The only interruption to navigation on this canal during the fiscal year occurred on July 4, 1901, when the sill of lock No. 3 gave way. The repairs occupied about 9 hours. REPAIRS AND RENEWALS. Outside of ordinary repairs the following works were performed :— A pair of gates was built and placed at lock No. 8. The sills of locks 3, I and (5 were overhauled and bedded in concrete. The lower sill of lock No. 9 at the lower entrance had been leaking considerably for some time and was a menace to the navigation of the canal. In order to repair it a coffer-dam was built at the foot of the wing walls and the lock pumped dry. It was found that the cause of the leak was due both to the sill which had been worn out and to the gates which did not properly tit the hollow-quoins. A new sill bedded in strong concrete was placed, the gates trimmed and the floor of the lock above the gates rebuilt with tongued and grooved plank. The leak is now completely stopped, but the top of i QUEBEC CANALS 157 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 the walls, from a few feet above the hollow quoins to the lower end will have to be rebuilt shortly. The repairing of the pier forming the east side of the lower entrance has been completed except for the planking of a portion of the eastern face. The plank floor on this pier has been removed and replaced by a heavy coat of gravel which will outlast the timber work and will do away with costly repairs each year. A part of the wharf above bridge No. * at Chamhly was widened some 12 feet on a length of 250 feet. A culvert under the Main street at Chambly which consisted of a wooden box about '_' feet square having become choked, a new one was built which necessitated the excavating of a trench 128 feet long and 18 feet deep. COLLECTING DRAIN". The collecting drain along the front street in the town of St. Johns was extended, during the fiscal year just ended, from St. Charles street to Lemoine street a distance of 1,750 feet and thence to the shore of the Richelieu river, where a llushing trap was provided for the purpose of cleaning the drain at high water in the spring. The work was performed under contract by the late Louis Forgue. It consists of vitrified clay pipes, 24 inches in diameter with concrete manholes 300 feet apart. The portion between St. Charles and St. James streets is composed of two such pipes laid side by side, and the balance of only one pipe. The work was completed in the last days of June last. SYPHOX CULVERT. A contract for a concrete syphon culvert to replace the old wooden structure under the Chambly canal at the foot of Ste. Therese Island, was awarded to Mr. W. J. Finn on February 10, 1902. By the end of that month the contractor had built two substantial coffer-dams and the excavation on the site of the culvert was well advanced. However, the unusually heavy rains during the month of March brought such a quantity of water upon the contractor's works, that the upper dam was carried away. This was rebuilt and work resumed, but a new flood ensued which washed away both banks of the canal for a considerable distance at the site of the dams. When the water receded the season was so far advanced that the contractor could not possibly complete the work for the opening of navigation. He was, therefore directed to re-form the banks, and put everything in good order for the opening of the canal on the 1st May. The contractor will resume operations at the close of navigation next fall, and the work will be completed during the winter. ST. OURS LOCK. Length of canal, | mile; one lock 200 x 15 feet : 7 feet of water on the sills : total rise, 5 feet. There was no interruption to navigation on this section during the year. The only works of importance performed here in 1901-2 were the following : — Repairing two ice breakers above the submerged dam, the four top courses of timber being renewed and some 200 cubic yards of field stone being deposited in the pockets. Building a blacksmith shop 28ft. x 24ft., and fully equipping it. Building a shed 20ft. x 20ft. for the storage of lumber. Rebuilding 2 pairs of spare lock gates to replace decayed ones, and a shed 68ft. x 28ft. for storing them. During last spring the wharfs at both entrances, which had been considerably damaged by moving ice were overhauled, a section about 200ft. in length being almost entirely rebuilt. 158 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 ST. OURS DAM. The repairing of this dam reported on last year, was completed last summer. The whole structure was rebuilt, from the apex to about 7 feet below it. Most of the frame timber used was white pine and the covering consists of tongued and grooved tamarack 4 inches thick. The whole work was most satisfactorily done by the contractors, Messrs. Finn A: Filion. A detailed final estimate with plans and cross sections was handed you some months ago. The enginezing work in connection with the collecting drain at St. Johns, the syphon culvert under the Chambly canal and the St. Ours dam, was performed by Mr. I,. S. Pariseau. OTTAWA RIVER CANALS. STE. ANNE'S LOCK. Length of canal, | mile ; one lock 200 x 45 feet ; 9 feet of water on sills ; total rise, 3 feet. Old lock still available, 200 x 45 feet ; 6 feet of water on sills ; total rise, 3 feet. Navigation at this point was uninterrupted during the fiscal year. All the structures in connection with the lock and its entrances were kept in a good state of repair and the following works were performed outside of ordinary maintenance. The puddle trench intended to staunch the old lock was completed. The pier at He aux Tortues was repaired by the addition of seven courses of timber at its upper end. A new shed was built to replace the old one on the south side of the lock. During last spring's high water the wing dam forming the south side of the upper entrance to the old lock was considerably damaged by ice. An appropriation was voted at last session of Parliament for the purpose of repairing it. The work will be done at low water this fall. CARILLON AND GRENVILLE CANALS. CARILLON CANAL. Length, | mile ; 2 locks, 200 x 45 feet ; 9 feet of water on sills ; total rise, 16 feet. GRENVILLE CANAL. Length, 5| miles ; 5 locks, 200 x 45 feet ; 9 feet of water on sills ; total rise, 43f feet. Both these canals are under one overseer. They are sepaiated by a stretch of navigable river about five miles long, and between them is to be found the old Chute-a- Blondeau lock which has been abandoned since the completion of the dam at the head of the new Carillon canal in 1883, the rise at that point having been practically obli- terated. REPAIRS AND RENEWALS. The only work of some importance performed on the above canals during the fiscal year, beyond ordinary repairs consisted in the staunching and strengthening of a portion of the Carillon submerged dam. On October 15, 1901, I reported in detail as to the damage suffered and the pos- sible cost of the repairs. Work was commenced in November, 1901, the water being i QUEBEC CANALS 159 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 very low. But as the work neared completion a sudden thaw caused the river to rise 80 rapidly and to such an extent that work had to be abandoned. Some of the cribs already placed in position as well as a few booms were carried away. The cold weather that followed caused ice to form on the crest of the dam to an unprecedented height, the channel becoming almost entirely blocked and the water above the dam rising to spring flood level. In March last the portions of the apron which had been uncovered of their timber flooring were temporarily repaired so as nut to be damaged during the spring freshet. The permanent repairs will be resumed at low water this year. CARILLON CANAL. Guide Pier at the Upper Entrance. Me-srs. Martineau, Fils & Lemoine. contractors for the above work, commenced >>1 orations at the beginning of July, 1901. Owing to the limited space on and around the pier, considerable difficulty was experienced in the storing of materials and the dis- posal of the plant. However, the tearing down of the old pier was begun on the 17th of the month. Last season was exceptionally favourable for proceeding with the work, the water level being unusually low and the weather tine until the close. On August 29 some of the broken stone foundation had been put in and the con- crete work started. By September 20 the walls on both sides of the pier were com- pleted on a section 118 ft. in length. The 2nd section, 160 ft. long, was at once pro- ceeded with. Concrete on it was started on October 29 and completed on December 3, except the face finish and the top moulding. The river froze on November 27 and the latter part of the work could only be pro- ceeded with on the mouldings. Preparations were then commenced with a view to complete the filling between the concrete walls during winter with stone taken out of a quarry on the north side of the canal entrance. In January a solid bank of ice formed and the water rose to an unprecedented height, flooding the quarry and putting an end to operations there. Early in May this year the contractors commenced preparations for the season's work. At the close of the fiscal year another section of the old work, 173 feet in length, was being taken down, but the water was still 6 feet above the foundation level and falling very slowly. There was then a little more than half of the concrete work done, and the contractors were in hopes of completing the balance during the present season. The cement used on this work is the ' Dykerhoff ' and ' Condor ' brands. It is being supplied by the department. A careful examination and record of the ice action on the section of the Ottawa river between Grenville and Carillon were made throughout the past winter until the ice ran out at Carillon on the nights of March 24 ami 25, about three weeks earlier than in the spring of 1901. The low water of last summer continued until the middle of December, when large fields of ice came down and landed on the crest of the dam, completely blocking the channel except in two places where the water had a free passage on an aggregate width of some 400 feet. The weather being cold the loose ice deposited on the dam was soon converted into a solid mass some 15 feet high in places, and the water rose rapidly, reaching its maximum of 11 ft. 6 in. above the summer level on Januarv 9. A portion of the ice crest then gave way and a fall of 2 feet in the level above immediately resulted. By the middle of February the ice had so far gone from the dam that the river above it had fallen down to normal level, but the crest was not entirely cleared of ice before March 14. The highest water last spring occurred on April 2. but was 3*75 ft. below the level of the freshet of Januarv last, and 2 feet below the high water of 1901. 160 DEPA R I'M EN T ' > F RA ILWAYS AND OA NA 1. 8 l 2-3 EDWARD VII..

Sir, — I have the honour to submit the annual report on the works mi the Trent Canal under my charge for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. The Trent Canal i- a term applied to the several stretches lying for the greater part along the valley of the Trent River, between the Ray of Quinte, on Lake Ontario, and Georgian Bay on Lake Huron, which, however, in their present condition does not form a continuous line of navigation. The object of tin' works at present going' on is to connect these several water stretches by short canals so as to form a continuous line of land-locked navigation from Lake Huron to Lake Ontario. A glance at the map of the district will show how comparatively small the length of waterway to make or improve is to the length already provided by i ature in tin- way of its beautiful and deep lakes and rivers. The total distance between Lake Huron and Lake Ontario is about 200 miles. Rv utilizing the numerous lakes and rivers and taking advantage of the natural features of the lands to make flooded reaches, it is hoped that not more than 1-3 or 20 miles of the total length will be actual canal. The Imperial government as far hack as the year 1835 chose tins route as being the most natural and feasible to make a water communication between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron, and they spent considerable sums in carrying out this project, and in fact a sufficient sum of money was voted by the government at that time to construct that part of the work lying between Lake Ontario and Balsam Lake. The works then constructed have ever since been used for local traffic. When the two divisions at present under construction are completed, a continuous line of navigation hetween Heeley's Falls and the ports on Lake Simcoe, a distance of about 160 miles, will then he available. Though a draught of six feet is provided on all the sills, the land necessary to flood for a draught of eight feet has been purchased on the new sections at present under construction, so that if required a draught of 8 feet could he provided at a comparatively little extra cost. MAINTENANCE. Navigation closed on both the upper and lower reaches November 19, 1901, and opened April 9. 1902. The height of water on the mitre sills of the locks was very fair throughout the Beason, though there is still room for very much improvement in regard to the regulation of the water on the different reaches. The regulation of the water is under three different managements, namely, the Dominion government, the Ontario government, and the lumbermen, consequently it is not surprising that there are complaint- regard- ing the management of the water during the dry season. Owing to the immense coun- try drained and the country becoming every year more cleared, the proper regulation of the water becomes more difficult. The regulation of the water also between Laketield and Peterborough is, under the present circumstances, very unsatisfactory, and as the power at the several dams along the river is developed, the trouble will be increased. Owing to the mills at Laketield using all the surplus water, any temporary stoppage in the mills almost stops the entire flow, in consequence the mills below are often stopped for a time. If the power owners at Laketield and other dams were to notify the care- takers of the dams, or otherwise compensate for the stoppage by allowing extra water to 166 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 escape, when it was necessary to stop temporarily for repairs, the cause of complaint w ould be ivni<>\ ed. With reference to the water supply, it is not generally known that sucha vast 3ys tern of reservoirs exists as there are in the country to the north of the direct rout'' of the canal. From a recent survey of these reservoirs, it was ascertained that there are over fifty Wain- at present constructed which control about 70,000 acres of water in which over 25 billion cubic feet of water can be stored, not taking into account the large quantity that could l>e stored by many new dams thai could lie constructed. The proper Btoring and regulating of the large quantity of water above referred to is a most important matter, not only to navigation but to the vasl commercial interests that are located along the valley of the Trent. The total number of lockages for the season was 5,185, being an increase of 857 over last year's lockages, though this does not fairly represent the traffic on the canal, as owing to many of the longer routes of the steamers not passing through a lock, no record of the traffic is kept. There are over thirty steam jaged in commerce between Lakefield and Balsam Lake, besides a large number of small steamers belonging to private individuals. There are five steamers on the reach between Peterborough and Heeley's Falls and several on hake Simcoe. .Many of the larger steamers are of considerable size, some of them carrying as many as 450 passengers. REPAIRS. The following repairs were executed at the different stations : — chisholm's rapids. The dam at this station became SO dilapidated that some three or four years ago I reported it was a waste of money to make further expenditures in the way of repairs upon it. An appropriation was made for a new- dam some years ago. but it was with- drawn. About half the dam has since gone out. The lock and canal at this place are in a good state of repair. HASTINGS. New upper lock gates were constructed and hung. The lock walls were repointed and the mitre sills were caulked. A new quoin stone was set at the north-west gate to replace the old stone which was badly cracked. 0T0NABEE RIVER. Some dredging was done at the mouth of the river, removing some sawdust and silt that had lodged in the navigation channel. PETERBOROUGH. A new storehouse was built for the storage of tools, material. &c. LAKEFIELD. The flooring of the high level bridge was renewed and part of the platform of the dam was removed. YOUNGS POINT. Part of the old dam was left remaining in above the new dam. This prevented the free flow of the water into the flumes of the Lakefield Portland Cement Company. This old part of the dam was removed by dredging. i TRENT CANAL 167 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 STONY LAKE. Owing to the carelessness of the men in charge of the saw-log drives, the buoj^s marking the navigation channel are continuously being removed from their places. There is no necessity for this state of things, and is entirely due to carelessness of the foremen in not pressing upon their men the importance and danger caused bv the removal of buoys. Some drastic means will have to be taken to remove this danger to the travelling public. The buoys are all substantially put in and cannot be removed without some extraordinary force be applied. A great number of these buoys have to be replaced every season. BURLEIGH FALLS. The lower wooden entrance pier at the west side was so dilapidated that it was taken down and replaced with a concrete pier, which was at the same time extended by 1 25 feet in length. The upper landing pier was planked over and raised for a length of 75 feet. BUCKH0RX. The valves, swinging gear and anchorage of the gates were repaired. New capstan chains were put on the lower gates. BOBCAYGEON. The Ion-' dyke adjoining the dam on the north side was gravelled for a length of l.itiKi f.ct. This has stoppad the great leakage which went through this dyke before it was gravelled. The flooring of the lock chamber and the upper mitre sill were repaired. The wall between the lock and the mill raceway was staunched and pointed. New stop- logs were provided for the dam where recpiired. FEXELOX BALLS. The old guard timbers at the south road approach to the swing bridge were so rotten that they were removed and replaced with substantial masonry walls on both sides of the roadway. The swing bridge was repainted. The culvert which carries the creek below the lower wharf became stopped during the freshet and burst. This was repaired. Ten new stoplogs were replaced in the dam. A new valve was placed in one of the eentre gates to take the place of the old one, which had broken across the corner. Other minor repairs were done to the gates and lock. « OTHER REPAIRS. A new scow, tin x 16 feet, for use in the work of repairs, was constructed. A con- siderable amount of repairs was made to the dredge, and two of the dump scows were almost wholly rebuilt. The following chargeable to income was executed : — The work of dredging was continued on the shoals at 'Yankee Bonnet," 'Danger- field ' and below Peterborough lock, on the Otonabee river, and on the Trent, near Hastings. 168 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 BUOl ENG 01 'I ill VNNEL. Buoys and anchors tor buoying out the channel between Lakefield and Peterborough weir prepared, bul as this reach was not ready t<> he opened for navigation the placing of the buoys was deferred till the current year. BASTINGS. New upper lock nates of solid timber were constructed and hung. IIEELKYS FALLS. Five new sluices. 25 feet in width, were constructed in the Hat tumble dam, pari of the framework of the old dam having been removed for that purpose. These sluices have been of the greatest service in providing greater area for the discharge of the freshets, which was greatly needed. CAPITAL. Construction. Section No. 1. Peterborough -Lakefield Division. — The contract for this section, which was awarded to Messrs. Brown, Love & Aylmer, was completed last year, with the exception of some dredging in the river below Lakefield and below Nos. •"> and 5 locks. The freshet this spring lasted till so late in the season that it was impossible to get to work till a very short time before the end of the fiscal year, at which time this work had not been completed. There is only about a month's work to do to complete this work. Section 2, Peterborough— Lakefield Division. — The contract for this section was awarded to Messrs. Corry & Laverdure on May 21, 1896, and the time for completion was November I, 1897, nearly live years ago. As I reported last year that from the mode of operation adopted by this firm it is difficult to say when the work will be com- pleted. There was only about a month's work to be done by an ordinary force of men at the beginning of this season, but at the present date it will still take three months or more to complete the work at the present rate of progress. There is still a considerable amount of concrete to do in connection with the hydraulic lock, as well as excavation in the prism of the canal below the hydraulic lock ; finishing up the sodding, protection lining, trimming slopes, n with for some months. Considerable trouble was experienced in getting the cast iron ram sections cast of the proper consistency and compactness, but this was finally accomplished. Nearly all the steel work has been prepared and stored on a lot adjoining the bridge works, "which has been leased to the government for that purpose Loci, tender's house. A dwelling-house for the lock tender was constructed at the Peterborough lock. Plant. The dredge Otonabee has been employed continuously throughout the season. Most of the season it was rented to the contractors, Messrs. Brown, Love & Aylmer for the excavation of the river on .Section 1. Peterboro-Lakerield Division. The dredge Trent was employed in dredging shoals in the River Otonabee between Peterborough and Rice Lake and in the Trent river near Hastings. The tug Empire has been fully employed throughout the season in hauling scows of dredge material from the dredge, buoying out the navigation channel, delivering timber, gravel and stone for the various works of repair along the route. 1 have the honour to be. sir. your obedient servant, RICHARD B.

Railways and Canals. 170 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA YB AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 R TDK AT CANAL. Superintendent Engineer's Office, Ottawa, July 15, 1902. Sir, I have the honour to submit herewith my annual report on the Etideau Canal, under my charge, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. Navigation closed at Ottawa, November 25, 1901. ii ii Bangston Mills, November 18, L901. opened at Ottawa. May 1, 1902. Kin-stun Mills, May 1, 1902. The depth of water maintained in the various levels throughout the whole season of navigation, was excellent; no trouble or delay on account of low water, having occurred anywhere. The freshet this spring occurred unusually early ; but fortunately was not nearly so violent as usual, still some damage was done to the works, as will be detailed under the headings of the various stations. The principal works and repairs executed along the line of the canal, at the various lock stations, [a as follows : — OTTAWA. Some repairs were made to the basin wharfs, by putting in new stringers and planking ; and the roadway behind the wharfs was also macadamized and graded up where required. A new frame storehouse for cement, and also for housing our portable engine, was built at the locks. The upper piers of lock No. 7 were taken down and rebuilt by our own masons, the stone having been cut in Klgin quarry during the summer; and I may here state that considerable repairs are necessary for the masonry of this station, which is built of stone of very poor quality. These repairs will of course be carried out gradually from year to year : it being proposed this summer, to cut stone in the quarry for two piers of lock No. 5, and also new coping for the uppertown side of lock No. 8. The grounds round the locks have been put into first-class order, the slopes and flats being nicely kept, and flower beds placed therein, so that I think I may be allowed to say that the station in general presents a most creditable appearance, and is in keep- ing with the surrounding improvements lately made in that portion of the city. STEWARTOX BRIDGE. New plank was placed on both approaches, and small repairs were made to the swinging sear of the swing span. RANK STREET BRIDGE. Small repairs were made to the approaches and to the machinery and rests of the swing. i RIDEAU CANAL 171 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 II AKT WELL'S LOCKS. The timber piers under the small bridge across the Waste Weir were rebuilt by our own carpenters. The tow-path road was raised and graded, both above and below the station, which on account of the very heavy traffic passing continually over it. i> now an annual necessity. The lockmaster's house was sheeted outside and clapboarded and painted. The coping of the locks throughout this station will soon require to be taken up and replaced with new stone. H0GSBACK LOCKS. The whole chamber wall on the west side of the lower lock was taken down and rebuilt by our masons last winter. This wall had for years been bulging out, and had become dangerous j but it is now new. The large abutment crib on the west side of the old bulkhead was taken down and rebuilt by our carpenters. New sills were placid under some of the outbuildings at the lock house, and the said buildings were reshingled. Repairs were made to the protection boom, and also to some of the bents of the east bulkhead. This bulkhead is about worn out, and will be rebuilt next winter. A large quantity of gravel was placed on the tow path road, between this station and Hart wells. Some of the planking below the apron of the west bulkhead was carried away by ice this spring, but will be replaced during the present summer. BLACK EAPIDS LOCK. The damage done by ice' to this station last year was repaired, and the boom straightened. A new ice-breaking crib was to have been built here before the ice broke up, but on account of the unusually early freshet this year, it could not be built in time : but the timber and stone, which is all on the ground, will be used for this purpose next winter. Small repairs were made to the lockmaster's house and outbuildings, and sundry small repairs to the station. L0XC ISLAM) LOCKS. Two new sluice frames were put into the middle lock. Two new swing bars on lock gates. The swing bridge was replanked, and the storehouse was repaired and reshingled. MANOTICK BRIDGE. The whole bridge, excepting the swing span, was rebuilt last winter. The piers were rebuilt by our own carpenters, from low water markup, and a tine steel super- structure was built under contract with the Dominion Bridge Company of Montreal. This bridge, which formerly consisted of five wooden spans and a swing span, is now of only three steel spans with a wooden swing. The removal of two piers has also given mi ne outlet to the ice and water in the spring. burritt's RAPIDS LOCK-. Some stone and gravel were placed on the dam and embankments, ami sundry small repairs made to the station. The swing bridge and the railing on both sides of its approaches were painted by the bridge tender last season. WELLINGTON BRIDGE. Sundry small repairs to planking, and painting, &c. done. L72 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA YS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Beckett's landing bridge. Sundry small repairs done by the bridge tender. This bridge is to be entirely re built next winter, with a steel superstructure. Nicholson's locks. One new pair of lock gates were put in last winter, and one new Bwing bar and six new chain blocks, and sundry small repairs to station. CLOWES' Lock. Considerable damage was done to the slope at the back of the lock wall on the river side, during the freshet, by ice and water carrying away the stone rip-rap pro- tection facing of the slope, and undermining the slope itself. However the slope will be repaired as soon as na\ igation closes, and a protection crib will be built along the face of the said slope. A new waste weir was built last winter, as well as the apron below : a coffer dam-having been put in to do the work. The wing wall of the bulkhead was also taken down to the low water mark, and rebuilt by our masons. A new fence was built along the northern boundary of the canal land to replace the old log fence, and sundry small repairs made to the station in general. MERRICKVILLE. Two pairs of lock gates were rebuilt. The fixed bridge across the waste water channel was replanked. The upper lock was grouted and a considerable quantity of leakage thus stopped. The early freshet prevented the south pier of the bulkhead from being rebuilt, but the timber is on hand, and the work will be done next winter instead. The south wall of the lower basin is to be taken down and rebuilt next winter, as well as the lower wing wall of the middle lock on the south side, which adjoins it. The stone for this will lie cut in Elgin quarry during the summer: and the stone for the basin wall will be purchased in Merrickville. mainland's LOCK. The swing bridge was repaired and replanked, and the approaches on both sides were repaired ; anil sundry small repairs were made to the station in general. edmond's lock. Several large stones were replaced in the retaining dam, from which they had been cairied last year. The upper mitre sill of the lock wasrepaired, and the waste weir was repaired and replanked. OLD sly's LOCKS. A considerable quantity of grouting was done at this station, and repairs made to sluice frames, and sundry small repairs made to the station in general. Repairs to the piers above the locks, and also to some of the ice-breaker cribs, could not be made on account of the early freshet ; but the timber is all on the ground, and the work will be done immediately after the close of navigation this year. SMITH'S FALLS COMBINED LOCKS. The old wooden sidewalk on the west side of the roadway leading from the north side of the canal to the swing bridge, was taken up and relaid with a granolithic walk, i RIDEAU CANAL 173 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 in keeping with the granolithic sidewalk on the south side of the approach to the swing bridge. The swing bridge was jacked up and moved, whilst the old wooden pivot pier was taken away, and a substantial stone pier built in its place ; the work bein state here, thai this dam bad aol been used for a number of years, as there was, until last year, a private mill-dam below it. which was maintained hv the owner to Bupply his mills w it h water at Westport ; and the effecl of !iis keeping the stoplogs in Ins dam. was to back the water up oil our dam, and consequently in the lake. SO that it was useless for us to keep stoplogS in Our dam : and in fact, the storage of water for the canal was effected just as well by this private dam whilst it was main tained, as by our own dam ; so in consequence our Btoplogs for some years were not pul in. However the mill dam having become useless t<> hold water, and the owner having stated thai he did not intend to rebuild itj made it necessary for US to hold up the water in Wolfe Lake, in order to supply the canal levels descending to Kingston, in dry seasons : SO, as above stated, a set of stoplogS were made and put in and will be con- tinually kept in unt il after navigation closes each year, when they will be taken out, and the lake allowed to fall low to make room for the freshet in the ensuing spring. A^ this dam is some miles away from Newborn" lock, which renders it impossible for the lockmaster to look after it properly, and as more than one attempt has been made to destroy it by unknown persons. 1. with your approval, placed a man in charge, who lives on the spot, and who can regulate the water as required, and also protect the dam. should attempts be made again to destroy it. chappey's lock. The By Wash bridge was rebuilt, and also the approaches to the swing bridge across the lock. The upper wing walls of the lock are in bad shape, and arrangements have been made to take them down and rebuild them next winter. Sundry other small repairs were made to the station in general. DAVIS S LOCK. One new pair of swing beams were put on the lock gates, and six new chain blocks. Six new stoplogs were furnished for the waste weir. The lock labourer's house was repaired and reshingled, and small repairs made to the station in general. JONES'S FALLS LOCKS. The approaches to the swing bridge across the middle lock, were rebuilt. Two pairs of the high lock gates were strengthened by heavy timbers being bolted to the frame rails. These gates are the largest on the canal, and when the locks are full, hold back over 22 feet of water. A fence was built, as well as a small stone wall along the side of the road past the locks. This was done to keep cattle from straying onto, and destroying the lock slopes and Hats, which, now that this fence is there, are kept nicely mown and tidy. This lock station, which is on account of its natural beauty, a favourite summer resort, is now in first-class order, and a credit to all concerned. Morton Dam, situated three miles from Jones's Falls, and which is under the charge of the lockmaster of that place, is in good order. brass's point bridge. Sunchy small repairs to the planking were made by the bridge tender. This coming winter, the whole bridge, with the exception of the swing span, which was rebuilt last year, will be taken down and rebuilt in steel and iron, with half the number of spans there are at present. i . RIDHAU CANAL 175 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 UPPER BREWER'S MILLS LOCKS. One pair of lock gates were renewed, also 8 chain blocks, and repairs were made to thf sluice racks on the lower gates. Sundry small repairs were made to the station in general. LOWER BREWER'S MILLS LOCK. Some gravel was placed on the dam and embankments, and sundry small repairs made to the station in general. KINGSTON MILLS LOCKS. One pair of lock gates was renewed. The stone waste weir was taken down and rebuilt, and now nearly all the leakage that existed through the old walls is staunched. Some new chain blocks were framed and placed on the locks. Two hundred and fifty cubic yards of stone were quarried and placed on the face of the long embankment--. The station was grouted with cement, and sundry small repairs made. The lock house is in bad condition, and an estimate will be made and submitted to you for your approval, of the cost of raising and repairing the same. However, as this house has been added to at various times, it will be a somewhat costly operation to raise it, and I think that the cheapest thing to do, is to build a small new frame house, and pull down the old one. This however will be the subject of a separate report to you later on, for your decision. GENERAL. The pointing and grouting of the lock masonry was done as usual, this spring, by our lockmen. the cement for which, as well as that used on the more extensive repairs, was purchased under contract from the Ottawa Fireproof Supply Co. ; the brand of cement used being ' Gibraltar'. We purchased 1,500 barrles of this cement, which gave good satisfaction although a silica cement. The painting of lock gates, bridges, houses, &e., was done by the lockmen, the paint therefor having been supplied under contract with Mr. W. G. Charleson of < )ttawa, who supplied about 3,000 lbs. of this material. The Douglas fir dimension timber required for new lock gates, &c., was furnished under contract by Messrs. Cameron & Co. of Ottawa, and a contract for smaller hem- lock timber was also awarded to Mr. T. M. Woodburn of Ottawa. DREDGING PLANT. The dredge Ridewu was employed last season in dredging the channel from Birmingham's Landing towards Upper Brewer's locks. She has made good progress ; but will not complete the cut this season. A new boiler was purchased from, and placed in the dredge, by Messrs. Selby A: Youlden of Kingston, and gives good satisfaction, having a working pressure of 125 lbs. of steam, which is easily maintained. The dredge is now in every respect equal to new. The tug Shanly was caught in the ice last winter, and compelled to winter at Smith's Falls. Small repairs were made to her at that place ; but she is now so old, and her frames and boiler are in such a condition as to make it hardly worth while to spend much money on large repairs. She, will however, last one more year when she will be unserviceable ; having been then 16 years in com- mission, and on account of her heavy draught, she has been subjected to very much harder wear and tear in the shallow rock cuttings on the canal, than she would have been called upon to undergo, had she been of the required draught for this canal. 176 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWA PS AND OANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII..

Superintending Engineer's Office, Corn* w.l, July 1. 1902. Sir, -I beg to 3ubmit my annual report upon works of construction and survey, in connection with the enlargement of the St. Lawrence canals, for the year ending June 30, 190-2. CORNWALL CANAL. ( Opened/or traffic, 1848. ) This canal was originally designed and constructed to allow vessels of not over nine Eeel draught to surmount the Long Sault rapids, extending from Cornwall to Dickenson's Landing, a distance of 11} miles, with a rise of forty-eight feet, originally made in six locks, but since reduced to live. The canal is situated on the north side of the St. Lawrence river on ground sloping rapidly towards the river, and generally about thirty feet above it. The high embank- ments thus rendered necessary when not perfectly constructed, or when resting on treacherous foundations, which are common along this section of the river, have given rise to frequent landslides, accompanied by subsidence, entailing, as in 1888. very serious consequences. In order to make the .St. Lawrence navigable by vessels of the same class that pass through the Welland canal, and to carry out the general scheme of enlargement adopted by the government, work was commenced on the Cornwall canal division in 1876. This work consisted in deepening, widening and straightening the original channel, strengthening and protecting the embankments, and in building enlarged locks 270 feet !,,,,_, Dy |.5 feet wide, with not less than 14 feet of water on the mitre-sill, when the river is at its lowest stage, supply weirs, bridges, &c, also in addition to the above, and not included in the original contracts, the repair or renewal of the foundations and general restoration of the damaged masonry of the old locks 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, and the adaptation of the basin between old locks 16 and 17 to the purpose of a dry dock. Also dams, weirs and the guard gates, and automatic dam above lock 20, rendered necessary by the adoption of the Sheik's Island channel, and the masonry superstructure with ice-breaker on the old pier at the upper entrance. The Sheik's Island channel does away with the imperfectly constructed embank- ments west of Milleroches, embraced in contracts Nbs. 6 and 7 and parts of 5 and 8, which were abandoned when the decision to construct the channel had been arrived at. This diversion from the line of the old canal does away with three and a-half miles of very tortuous canal navigation, unfit for the class of vessels for which the enlarged canal system was intended and substitutes two and three-quarter miles of what can be classed' as lake navigation, thus dividing the canal into two sections, the lower or eastern section six miles long, upper or western section two and a quarter miles, with two and three-quarter miles of lake navigation between, and saving about half a mile in distance. The guard gates and automatic dam at lock 20 were constructed to protect the lower reaches from the large body of water impounded by the construction of the Sheik's Nland dams, in case of accident to the locks or other structures. ST. LA WRENCE DISTRICT 179 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 For the purpose of construction, the canal was divided into nine sections, commencing with No. 1 at the lower or eastern entrance. The work of enlargement was commenced on this section in 1876 and was finished in 1882, except some work on old lock 17 and the weir and headrace to the mills, which were afterwards completed under the contract for section No. 2. The next section to be let was No. 10 to Messrs. Jocks, Delorimier & Broder, who commenced work in 1884, and, with the exception of the upper entrance, completed it in 1895. LIST OF CONTRACTORS.

Thr work to complete the upper entrance was let to Messrs. Weddell & McAuliffe under contract entered into on September 28, 1899, to be completed by November 13, 1900. It consists in the extension, straightening and widening of the channel on the north or landward side of the present entrance, from deep water which commences 900 feet west of the upper gates of guard lock No. 21 and extends to a point about 1,100 feet west of the lighthouse on the south entrance pier, a distance of about 3,500 feet. Excavation above water by means of steam shovel which was in operation in June, 1901, was completed August 13, 1901. Dredging operations were resumed November 20, 1901, and stopped for winter months December 21, 1901, resumed March 25, 1902, and completed on May ■">. Stone protection to slopes and preparing seat for the same which was in progress in June, 1901, was continued up to November 4, 1901, resumed April 3, 1902, and completed on June 5, 1902. The sodding and soiling of slopes was commenced on August 1, 1901, continued until October 31, resumed on May 6, 1902, and completed on June 5, 1902. This contract was wholly completed on June 5, 1902, and the final estimate is now being prepared. In connection with the additional water power granted at lock 18 to the Paper Mill Company, attention is again directed to the necessity for rebuilding and enlarging the regulating weir at old lock 17. On February 8, 1902, a contract was entered into with Mr. J. J. Fallon for widen ing and strengthening the north bank east of Pitt St., at Cornwall. This consists in the widening of the north bank of the canal and the building of a revetment wall for a distance of 1,000 feet from the east end of the present steamboat wharf at foot of Pitt St. 20 — i — 12i 180 DEPA UTMENT OF RAIL WA YS AND CAN A L8 i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Two hundred and twenty lineal feel of this wall is now completed, as also the stone filling in the rear of same. Building operations are, howei er, now suspended until the canal is again unwatered ; in the meantime the contractor will gel all the necessary stone quarried, dressed and delivered in order to resume building and complete the work as early as practicable in the spring of 1903. On Mav 20, 1902, a contract was entered into with Mr. M. P. Davis for the mechanism for operal ing I he locks, guard gates, weirs and bridges of the Cornwall canal. to be completed August L5, L902. This work is now in progress at lock No. 20. FARRAN'S POINT CANAL. (Opened for traffic, 181^7.) This canal is situated about five miles west of the village of Dickenson's Landing, the head of the Cornwall canal. It was built to overcome a short, swift rapid above the village of Farran's Point, and was about three-quarters of a mile long, with a lockage of 3| feet. In the year 1847 the original canal for 9 feet navigation was opened for traffic. The present enlarged canal has been extended to Empey's Bay, thus increasing the length to 1 \ miles and the lockage to 4 feet. The enlargement having been authorized, tenders were advertised for, and on June 1, 1897, a contract was entered into with the Canadian Construction Company to under- take the necessary work and to have it completed by January 31, 1899. The time for completion has since been extended. The works undertaken in connection with the enlargement consisted of forming a new eastern or lower entrance, north of the original, and free from the eddies produced by the above rapids. The building of a ' Flotilla lock' 800 feet long and 50 feet wide, with 14 feet of water on sill at the lowest known stage of the river, and extending from deep water at its eastern entrance to a point about 200 feet west of the old lock, and nearly parallel to it on the north side, also of deepening and straightening the old channel to the head of the old canal and its extension through Point Avoyon to Empey's Bay, also the building of a road to replace a portion of the King's old highway occupied by the enlargement. It is intended to keep the old lock in repair so that it can be used in case of accident to the new lock. The new lock was ready for traffic September 6, 1899, and has since been used by all deep draught vessels. The work done during the past year was as follows : — About 2,000 lineal feet of fence constructed along the south side of the King's highway was completed on September 3, 1901. The forming of necessary ditches along north side of canal was completed August 14, 1901. Dredging operations in progress June 30, 1901, were continued to December 3, resumed April 12, 1902, and are still in progress and nearing completion. The forming and grading of embankment on south side of canal was completed on August 24, 1902. The protection of slopes with broken stone was completed December 6, 1901. Mooring posts have also been placed at old lock and on south bank. The levelling up with quarry waste of the north pier at lower entrance to canal was completed on August 21, 1901. ST. LA WHENCE DISTRICT 181 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 Repairs to this pier on account of damage done by vessels was completed Septem- ber 10, 1901. The sodding of slopes in progress June 30, 1901, was completed August 29, 1901. The small amount of work remaining to be done in connection with the enlarge- ment of this canal consists mainly in the cleaning up of the bottom, which work is at present being carried on by means of one dredge and should be completed by Septem- ber 1, 1902. . The old lift lock has undergone a thorough repair, including new upper gates, which work was required for the reason that the usual guard lock at the upper entrance was considei'ed unnecessary in first construction. WILLIAMSBURG CANALS. RAPIDE PLAT CANAL. (Opened for traffic 18 47.) The lower entrance of the Rapide Plat or Morrisburg canal is situated about9;V miles west of the Farran's Point canal. It was designed to overcome the rapids of Rapide Plat by a lock of 11£ feet lift, and extends from the village of Morrisburg to Flagg's Bay, a distance of 3-| miles. The original canal intended for vessels of 9 feet draught was opened for traffic in 1847. The work of enlarging for the 14 feet draught vessels was commenced in 1884, and consisted in the deepening and widening of the old channel, the building of a new lift and a guard lock of 270 feet by 45 feet, supply weirs, regulating weirs, &c., and the construction of a new road to replace the highway destroyed by the canal improvements. The old lift lock was put in thorough repair, and the sill lowered so as to admit of 9 feet navigation through it at lowest water. LIST OF CONTRACTORS. Locality. Section. Contractors.

The work on all sections except at upper entrance has been completed and the final estimates forwarded to the department for approval. Upper Entrance. — This work consists in the straightening, deepening and widen- ing of the channel, the removal of the old north and south piers and the construction of a new and more extensive pier with stone superstructure and ice-breaker on the south side. The contract for this work was awarded to Mr. P. H. Gilbert and was commenced on April 17, 1901. 182 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The work done during the fiscal year is as follows: — The cribwork for the new south pier in progress June 30, 1901, was completed on November 11. ami stone filling in same on December •">, 1901. The excavation above Mater consisting of the shipment" the north bank, and the forming of ditches was commenced on July 9, 1901, continued until November 15, re- sumed April 25, 1902, and completed on -May 23, L902. Dredging operations in progress -lime 30, 1901, were carried on until December 4, resumed on April 18, 1902, and are still in progress. The placing of stone protection on the north slope was completed on May 22, L902. The building of a fence along the north bank was commenced on May 16, 1902. is still in progress and nearing completion. The sodding of the north slope was completed on May 8, 1902. For the new ice-breaker and superstructure of the new south pier a quarry is now being opened at Waddington, New York, directly opposite the works. It is expected that this contract will be completed next season. GALOPS CANAL. (Opened for traffic, 1847.) Between the head of the Rapide Plat canal and the foot of the Galops, at the village of Iroquois, there is a four and a half mile stretch of river navigation. What is now known as the Galops canal was originally built as two separate canals, with a short stretch of river navigation between. These were opened for 9-foot navigation in 1847, the lower or easterly section, called the Point Iroquois canal, commenced at the village of Iroquois and extended to Presqu'ile. It was three miles long, and had a lockage of 5 feet 7 inches, which over- came the rapid of Point aux Iroquois. The upper or westerly section, known as the Galops canal, commenced at the village of Cardinal and extended up stream two miles to the head of the Galops rapids ; it had a lockage of 6 feet 8 inches, and surmounted the Cardinal and Galops rapids, called by the early forwarders 'the Upper Galoo's or Chain of Rocks." About ten years after the completion of these canals, they were connected by an embankment, otherwise the 'Junction canal,' built in the river, and other improvements made increasing the total length of canal to seven and a half miles, and the lockage to 14 feet 10 inches, thus avoiding the rapid current of the short stretch of river naviga- tion. In 1888, Messrs. Murray & Cleveland entered into a contract with the government to enlarge the upper entrance ; the work consisting of the building of a new lift lock in Round bay, connecting directly with the river immediately below the Galops rapids, and a new guard lock, each 270 feet long by 45 feet wide, and a supply weir. The removal of the old guard lock, and also the deepening, widening and straightening of the channel from the upper entrance past McLaughlin's Point to the new locks at Round bay, a distance of about one mile. The lift lock at Cardinal is now cut off from the canal and connected directly with the river by means of a large opening which has been made through the old canal bank below, thus rendering free access from the river to the wharf at the foot of old lock 26 for the accommodation of the village of Cardinal. The improvement of the channel at McLaughlin's Point by widening it towards he north, as authorized, was commenced with steam shovel in September, 1900. All the excavation east of nine mile road which could be done by means of a steam i ST. LA WREXCE DISTRICT 183 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 shovel is now completed, and a dredge will commence work at once taking out the remainder of the excavation below the level of the water. The excavation under water has been found to consist of rock, hard-pan and boulders, all of which will require blasting in advance of the steam shovel and dredge. The progress of this work throughout has been most satisfactory, and will be com- pleted this season. The toll-house for collector at locks 27 and 28 has been completed, and the final estimate was prepared and forwarded to the department June 4. 1902. The extension (280 feet) of the south-east pier below lock No. 28 is now completed to the le\el of high water and materially assists in rendering the entrance perfectly safe for downward bound vessels. To complete this work a masonry wall four feet above normal level of water in the river will be constructed. This work, howrver, will not be attempted during the high water of the present season. In the year 1897, the government advertised for tenders for the enlargement of the other portions of the canal, dividing it into two sections or contracts of about three miles each, Iroquois and Cardinal. Messrs. Larkin & Sangster obtained the first named, and Messrs. Wm. Davis & Sons the latter. In each case the work was to be completed by January 31, 1899, but the time for completion has since been extended. The scheme for enlargement contemplated the raising of the level of the reach between Iroquois and Cardinal six feet, that is to the height of the lowest known level of the river at the head of the Galops rapid, and overcoming the whole rise with one lift lock at Iroquois. [ROQUOIS SECTIOX. Work on the enlargement of this section was commenced in May, 1897. It consisted of excavating a new entrance channel, the building of two entrance piers, a ' Flotilla lock ' 800 feet long by 50 feet wide, weirs, bridges, retaining walls, &c, and the straightening, deepening and widening of the canal for about 3 miles, also the reconstruction of the highway north of the old canal, Arc. The work of building the masonry foundation walls for the Iroquois Water Works, the renewal and repair of the government wharf at the village of Iroquois, and the widening and deepening of the government ditch on the north side of the canal have all been completed under this contract. With the exception of a few scattered boulders in prism of canal, some fencing, and repairs to bank protection and the removal of a few points of rock at the lower entrance, which is now being done, the contract work on this section is practically com- pleter!. Several leaks have occurred in the banks on this section during the past year, owing chieflv to the fact of the water in canal having been kept at an unnecessarily high stage and thus unduly taxing the banks before they had properly matured. The frequent lowering of the water to enable the necessary repairs to be made has also proved detrimental to the slopes of banks in undermining the stone protection. CARDINAL SECTION. Commencing at the western end of the Iroquois section at Presqu'ile it extends west through the rear of the village of Cardinal to Gate's Point, the eastern end of the upper entrance contract, a distance of about three miles. The work consists in the widening, deepening and straightening of the old canal at each end of the section and construction of an entirely new piece of canal through and on either side of the village of Cardinal, requiring the excavation of the prism, the building of banks and their protection, and the construction of cribwork and masonry revetments through the ' Deep Cut, ' also the building of bridge piers and abutments, &c. 184 DEPARTMENT OF HAIL WA TS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The chief feature is the ' Deep Cut, ' in rear of the village of Cardinal, 5,900 feet long and 68 feel deep at the highest point, requiring the excavation of about 2,ouo,000 cubic y.inls of material. Earth Excavation. The total quantity of earth excavation <>n tins section is about 2,600,000 cubic yards. Of this quantity there now remains to be done some sloping below the level of !•"> at Fraser's Point and date's Point, and a general trimming up of the bottom of prism ut canal, both east and west of 'Deep Cut. ' Two dredges are now being employed at this work and have been throughout the year (with the exception of the winter season). There also remains to be done some trimming of slopes of 'Deep Cut' to receive pitched stone facing, which work is being carried on ahead of the builders. Rock Excavation. The total quantity of rock excavation on this section lias proved to be about 19,000 cubic yards, of which about 10,000 cubic yards was contained in the rock ' in situ ' in bottom of ' Deep Cut. ' It is all completed except a small ledge dis- covered at east end of 'Deep Cut' on the north side which rises a few inches above bottom of canal. The cribwork revetment which extends through a portion of the ' Deep Cut' was completed during the months of April and May last, and is now practically ready to receive the masonry revetment wall superstructure. The total length of this cribwork revetment is 5,358 lin. feet and contains about 317,(>0() cubic feet of timber, 293,000 lbs. of iron in bolts, and 45,000 cubic yards of stone filling both inside and in rear. Of the masonry revetment wall laid in Portland cement which rests on top of this cribwork there still remains to be built 325 lin. feet containing 550 cubic yards. This work wil1 be done as soon as the stone filling behind cribwork is completed. Embankments. — All embankments are now made to their required height and width, with the exception of that portion of the south bank east of the ' Deep Cut ' across the old canal, which is being proceeded with as fast as possible, and is now nearing comple- tion. A final trimming up of the embankments throughout the entire section, yet how- ever remains to be done. The work of protecting the slopes of the ' Deep Cut ' by the placing on them of pitched stone facing has been diligently carried on throughout the year (with the excep- tien of the winter months) and is now rapidly nearing completion. Five building derricks are continuously employed on this work, which build altogether about 3,000 cubic yards per month. The total quantity of this pitched stone facing will be about 46,000 cubic yards, of which there now remains to be built only about 15,000 cubic yards. The face stone for this work is being delivered from the quarry at Milleroches, while the quarry waste on which the wall rests is being taken out of the quarry near the head of this canal. The north slope at Fraser's Point and Gate's Point, the upper slopes along north side of ' Deep Cut, ; and a portion of those on the south side, as well as the greater por- tion of the south bank of canal throughout the section, have been sodded during the year. » Attention is here directed to the fact that no vessel should be permitted to stop and land passengers or freight within the limits of the ' Deep Cut '. Access to the vil- lage of Cardinal by water would therefore be confined to vessels using the river, it is suggested that a convenient landing may be constructed at the western entrance at the intersection of the ' Deep Cut ' with the old canal by substituting a cribwork revetment for the masonry slope walls required to protect the banks. GALOPS RAPID IMPROVEMENT. This work comprises the excavation of a straight channel 200 feet wide and 17 feet deep through the shoals of the rapid which are known by the following names, viz.: — Upper Bar, North and Caledonia shoals, Island shoal and Lower Bar. The whole of these shallow places are included in a distance of 3,300 feet. i ST. LA WHENCE DISTRICT 185 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 The work is subaqueous and consists in blasting and dredging the rock in the rapid" The work as originally designed for the 200-foot channel was finished in November, 1888, but in' view of the apparent permanent lowering of the water surface of the River St. Lawrence, and for the purpose of making a satisfactory test and survey of its bottom, and at the same time to be prepared for the removal of any material above the original contract grade, an agreement was entered into in the year 1897 with the Gilbert Brothers Engineering Company, Limited, to perform the necessary work. Operations were com- menced the same year. In the year 1898 it was decided to widen the entrance to the existing channel south or towards Adam's Island with a view to eventually increase the width of the channel as originally excavated to 300 feet. The plant employed consists of a dredge, drill scow, tugs, scows, &c, all adapted to the special work in hand. Dredging operations were carried on by dredge Iroquois widening channel through north shoal and removing the north point of Island shoal up to October 2, 1901, when the dredge was laid up for the season. The soundings taken after dredging showed the required depth of water in these places. As there was no appropriation for continuing this work in 1901 and 1902 opera- tions were not resumed this season and the plant has accordingly remained idle, but is maintained in good working order. The drill boat was engaged until November 4, 1901, in drilling and blasting on Island shoal within the limits of the 200-foot channel to complete this portion of the work. She was then removed to Upper Bar where some high points previously discovered were drilled and blasted. On November 18 all work was suspended and the plant laid up for the season at the head of Galops canal. To complete the 200-foot channel and render it safe for 14-foot navigation it is absolutely necessary that the removal of the rock drilled and blasted in 1901 should be completed, otherwise propellers and other passenger vessels will continue to use it in order to save the time in locking at lock 28, and are liable to meet with serious accident NORTH CHANNEL. This channel commences about one mile west of the upper entrance to the Galops canal and extends in a straight line to deep water off Chimney Point, a distance of 2 J miles. It was constructed to avoid the sinuous natural channel passing through American waters, which is about three-quarters of a mile longer and could not be navigated with safety by the class of vessels for which the present enlarged canals were designed. The work consists in the excavation of a channel originally 200 feet wide, which was subsequently increased to 300 feet through the bed of the St. Lawrence river and Drummond and Spencer Islands, the construction of embankments on either side of the channel, and of piers and of cribs at its eastern and western entrances. The work having been authorized and tenders advertised for, it was let to Mr. M. A. Cleveland, May 14, 1897, the work to be finished on January 31, 1899. The time has since been extended. Dredging operations were carried on up to December 14, 1901, preparing seat for cribwork at lower entrance and at upper entrance for lighthouse cribs, and in the removal of unfinished parts of the channel through Drummond Island to secure a navigable width of 200 feet. This work was resumed April 4, 1902, and continued to June 30. The total quantity dredged during the year was 80,000 c. yds. Rock Excavation. — The work of drilling and blasting the solid rock remaining in prism was continued up to November 25, 1901, when the drill scow was laid up for the season. 186 DEPARTMENT OF RAIL WA YS AND CAN A Lb i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 No drilling and blasting has been done on the work this season, the drill scow being emplowed at the upper entrance of the Galops canal. The remainder of the rock excavation at tin- lower entrance to the north channel has been reserved to he used in the formation of the proposed dam across the " gut " (the international boundary) between Adam's and Galops island, the consent of the United States governmenl having been obtained therefor. Cribwork al Lower Entrance. The cribwork marking the lower entrance to the north channel was completed in September last. The pier on the north side has been lighted and adapted for use of vessels when delayed by fog. which otherwise would be compelled to anchor or remain in the Galops canal. Cribwork al upper entrance, consisting of a continuous breakwater on the north side of the channel From Spencer's Island to the lighthouse crib, is in progress with a view to completing the substructure before the tall navigation commences. The extension of this breakwater is chiefly in the interest of the existing class of barges of 9-foot draught, which, since the north channel has been brought into general use, has been increased to 12 or 14 feet, where the freeboard permitted. The sodding of the upper slopes through Drummond Island, which was commenced in August. 1901, was completed on May 9, 1902. RIVER REACHES. IMPROVEMENT OF CHANNEL, LAKE ST. FRANCIS. From head of Soulanges Canal to foot of the Cornwall Canal, the length of the navigable channel is about 32J miles, of this distance 30 miles is through Lake St. Francis. A channel has been buoyed between the above mentioned points, with a minimum depth of 1 6 feet at lowest water, and has been brought into general use. St. Regis section, two and a half miles east of Cornwall, it is situated about mid- way between the foot of Cornwall Island and First Crab Island. The work here consists in the dredging of a channel 1,100 feet long and 300 feet wide through what is known as the St. Regis Shoals, and protecting it with dyke terminating with crib piers. This work was let to Messrs. Manning it Macdonald, May 24, 1898, to be completed November 30, 1898. This work, however, was not completed until the fall of 1900, but has since been generally used by all classes of vessels, and is an important link in the 14-foot or deep water channel. Hamilton Island section, between the seventh and eleventh mile east of the Corn- wall Canal. This work consists in the dredging of a channel through, or of widening and straightening it through the undermentioned shoals, and the construction of a light- house crib on the Middle Ground, viz.: — The Clark's Island Shoal, 7£ miles west of Cornwall, the dredging at this point was. substituted for that proposed to be done at the Horseback. The Middle Ground, 10 miles east of Cornwall. The Highlander Shoal, 1 >' AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 ST. LAWRENCE CANALS. Office of the Superintendent of Operation, MoiiiiisisiKi;, Ont., June 30, 1902. Sir, I have the honour to report on the operation and maintenance of the canals under my charm' for t lie fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. These include the Cornwall, Williamsburg and Murray canals, covering a distance of about 29 miles of artificial waterway, overcoming the difficulties of the St. Lawrence river navigation between Prescott and Cornwall, with 11 locks and a total lift of about 78 feel ; and affording direct ingress to the Ray of Quinte, at the west end, from Lake Ontario. During the year 11-foot navigation was thoroughly tested and found to be an assured fact. In the season of 1901 the Northwestern Steamship Co. of Chicago put on their fleet of four steamers between that port and Europe, on more than one occasion loading even slightly over the 1 4-foot limit on the down trip. While this line of steamers was not financially successful to such an extent as to warrant a continuance this season, the manager assured me that it was in no sense attributable to the St. Lawrence canals. On the first day of October, with the water in the river not by any means at a high stage, the steamer Arabian passed down, using the Rapide Plat canal, with a draught of 14 feet and 4 inches. Early in the season of 1902, the Wolvin syndicate put on their fleet of boats operating between Duluth and Quebec, and have been making regular trips since. I understand that it is their intention to add to their fleet, confident from their experience in the first part of the season, that with Quebec as the eastern terminus of St. Lawrence navigation and the type of steam barge they employ, they have solved the problem of successful waterway traffic between the ocean and the Great Lakes. Following close on the completion of the 14-foot channel have come vessels of larger size and deeper draught, so that, while the number of vessels passing through the canals is probably not so great as in former years, the season of 1901 saw an increase of about 30 per cent in the tolls collected at each of the four toll offices in this district. In the first part of the season of 1902 traffic has fallen off considerably owing to the coal strike. At the beginning of the present season the operating staff were provided with official caps. The improvement has been favourably commented upon on all sides. The appearance of the canals could be A^ery materially improved by levelling off the banks, grading and terracing and sodding in places, and planting trees, &c. Some of this has been done in recent years, but much yet remains to be accomplished. It is only a question of a very short time till a dredge will be required to keep the prism of these canals in proper shape. In places, quite a perceptible falling in is notice- able already ; and there is cleaning up and trimming yet to be done sufficient to keep a dredge employed. Appended is a statement of fines and damages incurred, and a record of the highest and lowest water levels. CORNWALL CANAL. The Cornwall canal was closed on November 30, 1901, and opened to navigation on May 1, 1902. During the full season navigation went on with but one interruption of three days, caused by the gates of lock 1 7 having been carried away on the last day of i ST. LAW HENCE CANALS 189 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20 July, by the steam barge Hebron. As soon as one pair of gates had been replaced water was let into that level of the canal and the old locks used. A contract had been entered into with Mr. M. P. Davis for lighting the canal by electricity, and on October 21, 1901, the light was turned on for the first time. The canal is now as easy of navigation by night as by day, thereby enabling vessels to pass through with greater expedition than formerly. The light is being operated quite sua fully, every failure of a lamp being promptly remedied by the staff of experts employed by Mr. Davis, and careful supervision is exercised to locate any defect. Power is supplied from the magnificent plant located at the lower end of .Sheik's Island. A contract has also been entered into with Mr. Davis to equip the gates and weirs with machinery for operating them by electricity. A test set of this machinery was installed on the lower gates of lock 20, in the latter part of March, 1902, and runs so well as to make it certain that the work, when completed, will be a decided improve- ment on the old method of opening and closing. The canal was unwatered during the month of April, to allow of repairs. In that month the masonry of lock 21 was pointed ; the concrete apron below the weir at lock 19, repaired ; and a similar one built at lock 18, covering the full width of the weir and extending from the stone-apron to the end of the wing wall ; all broken valves repaired, or replaced by new ones ; a careful scrutiny made and everything that might prove to be an obstruction removed from the bottom and sides of the canal ; the stone protection to the banks repaired, where requiring it below water level : the operating machinery on lock 15, which had been dismantled, replaced. The gates damaged by the accident to lock 17 were repaired and now are spares, taking the place of the ones put in at lock 17, at the time of the accident ; a new pair of gates and hollow quoin coping stones, were put in at the west end of lock 21. after the close of navigation ; a floating crib built at the entrance to the weir at lock 17 ; the dry stone wTall on the south side, between locks 15 and 17, taken out to below the water level and relaid ; the rip-rap repaired where requiring it ; watch-houses, store- houses, work-shops and collector's residence painted, and the work of painting other parts requiring it is still going on ; scow and gate pontoon caulked ; the telephone line transposed ; and all the present equipment of locks and weirs made uniform. The apron at locks 18 and 19 became necessary owing to the scouring from the heavy flow of water required to supply power to the several mills drawing from the canal. When the electric light line was put into operation it was found that the electros- tatic induction rendered a conversation on the telephone line impossible, now that the line has been transposed it gives fairly good service. John Gillie, lockmaster, at lock 18, was superannuated bv Order in Council, dated February 12, 1902. Daniel Gillespie, lockmaster, at lock 1 9, was superannuated bv Order in Council, dated May 20, 1902. WILLIAMSBURG CANALS. The Williamsburg canals were closed and opened on the same dates as the Cornwall canal, except that the contractors at work on the different portions of these canals were allowed the use of the locks from the time the ice was off in the spring. These canals were operated during the full season without any serious mishap, or interruption to navigation. The level of the water in the Galops canal has not yet been brought to full height ; but construction work will soon be at such a stage as will permit of this being done. The Rapide Plat canal was unwatered during the month of April, and during that time considerable work was done in repairing the stone protection to the banks. A piece of new rip-rap, with a somewhat lai'ger size of stone than used formerly, was hand laid, on both sides of the canal in the village of Morrisburg. The slope of the bank was slightly flattened and a good trench bed was dug, leaving a berme of from five to eight 190 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 feet, and this berme covered on top with Btone, closely laid. The rip-rap was carried up, two feei deep throughout. Considerable work was put in lifting boulders from the bottom of this canal, during the time the water was out and after. The lock walls and weir at lock 1' I were pointed. During the year a double fool bridge was put on the upper gates of locks -_'4 and 27. Close! conveniences were given a1 locks 24, 27 and Cardinal bridge. Another watch house was provided al lock 27, one built for the Cardinal bridge and one watch- house at each lock, sheeted inside for winter use. During the construction work several houses w ere taken o\ er by the department, three in Cardinal have been thoroughly over- hauled and put in a good state of repair for use of the staff. The location of the workshops was changed from Cardinal, on that part of the canal now closed off owing to the 'deep cut' having been put through, to Morrisburg, and the wort of putting in proper foundations for the buildings and grading and draining the yard is in progress. The ( lardinal bridge was replanked and equipped with proper light, and automatic gates similar to those in use on the Soulanges Canal bridge ordered. Painting is being done everywhere it is required. W. I. Casselman, labourer, lock 23, was superannuated by Order in Council dated December 3, 1901. MURRAY CANAL. The Murray canal was closed on November 30, 1901, and opened on April 4, 1902. During the' season of navigation there was no interruption to navigation and no serious damages done. Frequent disputes have arisen between vessel men and the officials of the Central Ontario Hail way Co. as to priority of passage when they meet at the railway bridge. This point was definitely settled early in the season, since which time nothing more has been heard of the matter. The banks of the canal were kept free from weeds and all the front and back ditches kept clean. To prevent the wearing away of the bank by cattle, two water-ways were constructed. A storehouse in which to keep the supplies was built at each bridge ; watch-houses and bridges were painted, and material laid in for a landing wharf for collection of tolls, for repairs to bridge piers and for derrick. The work of building the wharf is under way. W. A. STEWART, Superintendent of Operation.

Sir, — I have the honour to report upon the operation and maintenance of the Welland Canal and its branches for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. During the past year considerable progress has been made in the direction of improving the canal for navigation purposes. The old TWnsend valves in the lock gates have always been a source of great annoyance and expense and are being replaced with a simple butterfly valve, which gives good satisfaction. The old valves were opened by means of small turbine wheels, requiring 1 2 wheels to each lock. These are being done away with altogether and are replaced by a simple crab, which is much quicker acting and which will greatly reduce the cost of maintenance. The old hanging -ear of the gates is being changed and replaced with a much simpler and better arrangement. The sills of the entrance lock at Port Colborne, although designed to have at least 1 4 feet of water upon them at all times, have been causing great delay to navigation for several years on account of the level of Lake Erie falling below what was antici- pated, and last winter these sills were lowered three feet. This was done by day labour at a net cost of about 815,000. The excavation of the summit level, between Port Colborne and Thorold at the time of enlargement, was not taken out deep enough to meet the present level of Lake Erie, and two contracts have been let to remedy this defect. Messrs. Hogan A: Macdonell are deepening the rock cut between Port Colborne and Humberstone and expect to complete this by the opening of navigation next spring. Messrs. Magann & Phin are deepening the earth sections below Welland and are making good progress. The water was let out of Lock 24 level before the opening of navigation last sprino- to allow Mr. Joseph Battle to complete his contract of rebuilding, in concrete, parts of the retaining walls above the head of the lock. Mr. John Riley and Messrs. J. & T. Riley have completed their contracts for the east and west docking at Port Dalhousie, and there now is a concrete superstructure on all the pier work at the Port Dalhousie entrance. The dam and bridge across the Grand River at Dunnville is being rebuilt under contract by Messrs. Hutchinson, Lattimore ■& Lalor. Fair progress is now bein« made and it is hoped to complete the work before the high water sets in in the fall. The ditch along the south side of the feeder from Brown's tap westward has been enlarged and deepened, thus adding much to its efficiency. The pile fender work of several bridges has been renewed. The 24-inch tile drain, which was laid on the west side of the canal at Port Colborne to replace an open ditch, has proved eminently satisfactory, and the material is now on the ground to treat the ditch on the east side in a similar manner. The usual repairs at locks, weirs, bridges, &c, have been made. A large quantity of rip-rap has been placed along the canal between Thorold and Port Dalhousie, as the banks were washing out badly. Nearly all the bridges along the canal have been repainted. The canal was closed December 15, 1901, and opened for navigation April 20, 1902. The operation of the canal was interrupted once during the season of navigation. the steamer Prince, bound up on September 14, 1901, carrying away the upper gates of Lock No. 13. Spare gates were stepped and navigation resumed twenty hours after the accident. The Dominion police force was withdrawn from the canal in February, 1902. The greatest impediments to navigation now existing in the canal are the centre piers <>f the swing bridges crossing the canal on the summit level and of the Grand Tiunk Railway bridge, between Locks 24 and 25 at Thorold. These piers divide the canal into two channel ways, each only 44 feet in width, or one foot less than the width of the locks ; and, with one exception, these bridges are all located on sharp curves, 20— i— 13 194 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANA l.s i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 thus making the passage extremely difficult aud dangerous to navigation. An appro- priation is now available to remove these obstructions between Port Colborne and WVlland. The sill of the guard lock, No. 26, above Thorold, is too high and has caused several delays to navigation during the periods of low water and should be Lowered. The foundation <>f Lock No. 2 at Port Dalhousie was, by some mistake during construction, placed one foot too high, and as the level of the large basin below could not be raised to overcome this, a masonry wall was built between Locks 1 and 2, divid- ing the basil] into two parts, the water on the new canal side of the wall being kept 12 to 18 inches higher than upon the other side. This wall was built upon piles driven into muck and silt which is gradually being washed out and allows the water to pass more or less freely under the wall. In case of a break in Lock No. 1, this wall would surely be carried away and navigation through the canal would be limited to less than 13 feet. The sills of Lock No. 2 can, I think, be lowered without much trouble, and when this is done, the reach between Locks 1 and 2 could be lowered to its original level and the necessity for the dividing wall done away with. I would recommend that these sills be lowered next winter. OLD CANAL. The old canal has been very much neglected of late j^ears and is in a bad state of repair. A large amount of work has been done in the past few months to put it into shape, however. The timber coping on the locks had all rotted away and is being replaced with a concrete coping, 3 feet in width at the bottom and 2 feet at the top. This makes a neat and substantial finish. The banks have been raised and strengthened in places and a large quantity of rip-rap placed to protect them from wash. The bridges and lock gates are being painted and generally such work is being done as will take away the dilapidated appearance which it now has. The weir and lock foundations are in several cases in a very dangerous condition and it is proposed next spring to draw the water off for ten days or two weeks and thoroughly repair them. The water was only drawn off for two days last spring as it was a very busy season with the manufacturers and it was considered that the heavy repairs could safely be held over for another year. Several dangerous leaks have developed in various parts of the banks during the year but they have been noticed in time, and have been repaired without shutting doAvn the water powers along the canal. The following employees have been superannuated during the year : Terrance Johnson, Tim. Sullivan, C. W. Bradley, Alex. Hannah, Chas. Hannah and Robert Gibson. The following superannuated employees died during the year : Alex. Winslow, died at Cleveland on December 25, 1901, age 78 ; James Waters, died October 23, 1901, age 87. Attached is a statement of fines collected for breaches of canal rules and regula- tions. Also a statement of damages to canal property and amounts collected for the same and to whom paid. Also a statement shewing the highest and lowest recorded depths of water on the mitre sills of the locks at Port Dalhousie and Port Colborne for each month of the year.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report on the improvement of the upper entrance of the Welland Canal at Port Colborne, contract number 13,807, MM. M. J. Hogan and Allan R. Macdonell, contractors. During the year ten cribs were placed in position in the basin and sixteen in the extensions of the west pier. At present twenty cribs are in position in the basin and twenty-one in the exten- sions of the west pier in the lake. Sixteen cribs are framed but cannot be placed until stone for filling is obtained. Eight hundred and thirty concrete blocks have been used in the work and two hundred and ninety-nine remain on hand for future use. Four thousand two hundred and fifty cubic yards of mass concrete have been placed on top of the concrete blocks in the dock walls. Fifty-seven thousand cubic yards of clay and sand have been dredged in cleaning up the bottom of the basin and entrance to a depth of sixteen feet of water and in excavating for the dock walls in the basin. In making the excavation to a depth of twentyt-wo feet of water from deep water in the lake to the extensions of the west pier, twenty-two thousand cubic yards of clay and forty -eight thousand cubic yards of solid rock have been removed to date and thirty- one thousand cubic yards of solid rock have been drilled and blasted ready for dredging. The stone filling in and on top of the cribs, as well as that required between the lines of cribwork in the extensions of the west pier, is to be obtained from the excava- tion. The time required for the completion of the piers depends on the progress of the submarine drilling and blasting. The contractors had three drill boats on the work from July 1 to September 20, 1901. From the latter date until June 1, 1902, the drill boats were employed else- where. Since June 1 the contractors have had but two drill boats on this work. A steel hull for a new drill boat was launched a few weeks ago but the boat will not be ready for work until late in fall. At the present rate of progress the drilling and blast- ing will not be completed before the summer of 1906. On this account, I have asked the contractors to arrange to work the drill boats during the winter months, if possible, so a quantity of stone will be available early in the spring. This will enable them either to complete pier 1, the other work on which is well advanced, or to sink the cribs required for pier 2. The progress of the works embraced in this contract has been delayed by the diver- sion of men, plant and materials to the breakwater which is being built here by MM. Hogan and Macdonell for the Department of Public Works. It is an essential part of the whole plan of improvement and the protection it affords will enable our works to be carried on more expeditiously in future. The cribs required for the dock wall on the east side of the basin south of the present elevator of the Grand Trunk Railway will not be put in place before next sum- mer. I wish to recommend that the foundations of a number of these cribs be carried down to a depth of 22 feet of water, to provide at least one berth for large vessel- at this point. Facilities will undoubtedly be required for handling coal, iron ore, &c, and for transferring from deep vessels to the tracks of the Welland branch of the Grand Trunk Railway. This is the most convenient point at which they can be provided. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, F. LAWLOR, CoLLixmvooD Schreiber, Esq., C.M.G., Engineer vn charge.

St. Peter's, Cape Breton, Canal Office, June 30, 1902. Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report on work performed on St. Peter's canal, under my charge, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. (1.) Completing 150 ft. of new work at north entrance of canal, on west side placing necessary mooring posts and fenders; this new work consists of 350 ft. in length Miid is very convenient for vessels hauling out of the way, and when a little dredging is done to remove a lump of some twenty or thirty feet, it will prove very beneficial to the general traffic. (2.) Renewing sixty feet of wall at N. E. Jog 6 ft. high and cutting away timber that was projecting up, left there since the damming of canal for the purpose of putting in new lock gates and placing our new mooring posts. (3.) Replacing toe roller and straightening out toe roller bar on high water gate east side. As instructed I ordered twenty hanging fenders, but failed in getting them to have them hung before the end of fiscal year; they are very much needed and with your per- mission I will attend to them at once, the east side of canal requires a new set altogether, there is considerable of timber and labour required in placing those last mentioned, as everyone of them hangs from a resting pillow built with timber attached to the canal stone wall with drift split iron bolts. The operation of canal is in good condition and the traffic in same is up to the general standard. Navigation opened on St. Peter's canal on April 9, 1901, and closed January 29, 1902. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, 1,874 steamers and vessels passed through St. Peter's canal. There is one tidal lock and four pair of gates on St. Peter's canal.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 A. 1903 REPORT OP THE DEPUTY MINISTER To the Honourable Raymond Prefontaine, Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Sir, — I have the honour to report on the transactions of the Marine Branch of this department for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, and to give an account of a portion of the business up to date. In Part T. of this report will be found the detailed report of the chief engineer on construction and maintenance of lighthouses and other aids to navigation, references to the reports of the chairman of the Board of Steamboat Inspection, chairman of the Board of Examiners of Masters and Mates, the inspectors of Live Stock Shipments, the director of the Meteorological and Magnetic Service, the inspector of Signal Service and the reports on Life-boat Stations and Rewards for Humane Service. A short account of the work of the Dominion steamers is given and the expenditure in connection therewith, the buoyage of the coast, harbours and inland waters, the purchase of oil for the use of lighthouses, the marine hospitals in the Dominion certifi- cates to masters and mates, and wrecks and casualties. In Part II. the reports from which the synopses have been made will be found in extenso, als) statements of expenditure, revenue, sick mariners dues, wharfage wrecks and casualties, steamboat inspection, and a list of light-keepers. The amount expended on the various branches of the public service comprised in the Marine branch of this department, during the fiscal year ended June 30 last was 81,431,371.76, the expenditure for the previous year was $967,484.01, not including expenditure for civil government. The expenditure for civil government for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, was 861,183.32, and for civil government salaries, contin- gencies, 89,063.00. It will thus be seen that the expenditure for the various branches of the Marine branch and for civil government was 81,501,618.08. The Fisheries expenditure amounted to 8393,627.21, total 81,895,245.29. The amount voted by Parliament for the different branches of the department of Marine and Fisheries, including Fisheries and the departmental salaries was -$2 088 824.74 it will thus be seen that the expenditure for the fiscal year was 8193,579.45 less than the amount voted by Parliament. The whole number of persons in the outside service of the Marine branch, including crews of fishery and marine steamers at the date of this report is 1,916. During the past fiscal year the expenditure for maintenance of lights and coast service amounted to $537,373.93 \ construction, 8158,714.09 : total for maintenance and construction, $696,088.02 ; while for the previous year the expenditure for lighthouse 21— i— 11 4 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 and coast service, including construction was $578,812.72; showing an increase of expenditure for the year ending Jane 30 last, of $117,275.30. The appropriation for this service was 8836,560, the expenditure being $140,471.98 less than the appropriation of Parliament for the fiscal year. LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE. The lighthouse service of the Dominion is divided as follows : — The Ontario division, embracing all lights from .Montreal westward to the North-west Territories; the Quebec division, extending below Montreal and including the liver and gulf of St. Lawrence and Strait of Belle Isle ; the Nova Scotia division, including St. Paul's Island, Cape Breton, Sable Island and Cape Race, Newfoundland; the New Brunswick division; the Prince Edward Island division and the British Columbia division, each including lights within the provincial boundaries. The total number of light stations, lightships and fog-alarm stations in the Dominion on June 30, 1902, was 713, and lights shown 899," the number of steam whistles, fog- horns, bells and guns 91 ; the number of light-keepers and engineers of fog-alarms with masters of lightships was 719. The report of the chief engineer relating to lighthouse construction, repairs, hydro- graphic surveys, (fee., will be found in Part I. The principal repairs, changes and improvements at existing stations are referred to in his report, also new aids to navi- gation. The work done at fog-alarm stations in connection with steam whistles, com- pressed air horns and explosives, are dealt with under the proper headings. Information is also given respecting the extent of repairs and some account of the repairs in detail, under the head of the station. CORRESPONDENCE. About 21,753 letters, exclusive of telegrams, were received in the department during the fiscal year. The correspondence was carefully examined and replied to as far as necessary. About 13,000 letters were sent out during the same period. Forms, reports, circular letters, notices inviting tenders, are not included in the number of letters addressed to this department or sent out. These forms, &c., are numerous and require special attention as the matters to which they refer are important. In the Records Branch of the department the letters i eceived are carefully examined, entered in the record book, placed on file, and the copy of the reply attached, so that the letters and the answers can readily be seen, and any subject easily followed up. MERCHANT SHIPPING. Reports relating to merchant shipping for the calendar year of 1902 have not been received from the registrars of shipping in various parts of the Dominion. The reports are made up to the end of the calendar year, as provided by the Canadian Shipping Act, and therefore, will not be received until some time after the month of January. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The statements showing the number of vessels in the registry books of the Domin- ion, December 31, 1902, will appear in Supplement No. 1 of this report. The number of new vessels built and registered will also be shown, and also a comparative statement of the tonnage of new vessels built and registered from 1874 to 1902, both inclusive. Mr. W. L. Magee, chief clerk, attends to all matters in connection with merchants shipping. BUOYS AND BEACONS. The extended coast line of Canada, and numerous bays, inlets, rivers, lakes, har- bours and other navigable waters require a large number of buoys which are maintained at an average cost of $69,000 per annum. For the fiscal year ending June 30 last, the service cost $81,903.96. The cost of this service is materially increased in years when large contracts are made for steel signal and other coast buoys. The department has been for some time past substituting steel coast buoys for wooden buoys, with favourable results. The districts now buoyed in all parts of the Dominion number about 330, and the buoys number 3,150. A record of the names of shoals, dangers, reefs and various points in channels, harbours, &c, where the buoys are placed, is carefully maintained ; this enables the department to immediately locate the buoys when any reference is made to them in the correspondence. The contract system has been found to work most economically and efficiently ; in the majority of instances the contracts are immediately under the supervision of depart- mental officers, whose duty it is to report to the department any neglect of work on the part of the contractors. There are now existing about 200 contracts, some of which will shortly expire, but new contracts will be entered into in the spring. These contracts are generally made for a per'.od of 3 years. The contractors are paid semi-annually upon the certificate of the superintending officer. There are, however, some districts not under contract ; the work is being attended to by the harbour masters. In these cases it has been found moie advantagous to place the work immediately in the hands of these officers. A large number of whistling, bell and other iron buoys are maintained along the coast of the several provinces by Dominion steamers, particularly the Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia coast. The cost of this maintenance by the steamers is not charged directly to the buoy service but is included in the cost of maintenance of steamers which frequently perform the double duty of attending to lighthouses and the coast buoy service, on the same trip. The expenditure in connection with the buoy service for the year ended June 30, 1902, was as follows : — For the province of Quebec including the port of Montreal. $25, 852 48 Above Montreal including Ontario 9,644 81 Nova Scotia , 20,904 26 New Brunswick 18,360 70 British Columbia 4,287 13 Prince Edward Island , 2,854 58 Total §81,903 96 6 1/ . I HIKE . I XI) FISH EBIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 In addition to the buoys for marking dangers 42 gas buoys are maintained showing . 12 in the Quebec Agency on the St. Lawrence River ; 25 between Montreal and Prescott also on the St. Lawrence River ; 1 in Pelee Passage, Lake Erie; 1 at the mouth of the Detroit River and •"> in Parry Sound. The coast buoys maintained by I >oininion steamers on the coast of Nova Scotia consist of 23 automatic whistling buoys, 18 bell buoys and 128 steel can and conical. In the New Brunswick agency there are maintained in the same way 16 signal buoys, 15 steel can and conical buoys and one bell boat. New can and conical buoys were supplied the New Brunswick agency during the year but several were sent to places where contracts exist and several were held as spare bouys ; there were 18 of these new buoys supplied. The signal coast buoys of Prince Edward Island number 3, the service in geneial is performed under contract with the exception of maintaining the signal buoys. Two conical buoys to be added to the coast buo\s have recently been supplied. In the province of Quebec under the Quebec agency, one whistling buoy was established at Manicougan and 1 bell buoy at Matane. A large number of can and conical buoys are maintained by the Dominion steamers on the St. Lawrence river b< tween Montreal and Quebec and also below Quebec. The complete list of these buoys forms part of the chief engineer's report. The steamer Shamrock is constantly employed in the buoy service on the St. Lawrence river between Montreal and Quebec and the Scout between Montreal and Prescott and attends the gas buoys above Montreal on the St. Lawrence. The new Dominion steamer Druid performs the buoy service below Quebec and attends the gas buoys in the Quebec district. The coast buoy service in British Columbia is performed by the Dominion steamer Quadra and the list of buoys in the Chief Engineer's report shows the number of steel and other buoys but no whistling buoys have yet been established there. The service at the mouth of the Fraser River is performed by the Public Works steamer Samson employed by this Department. Tenders for 9 steel can buoys and 5 conical buoys for the Quebec district were in- vited and abo tenders for 2 bell buoys one of which was placed at Matane, the other will be placed on Graham Shoal, Big Duck Island, Lake Huron; also tenders for 2 coni- cal buoys and 2 can buoys which will be placed on dangers in Georgian Bay. OIL FOR USE OF LIGHTHOUSES. The contract for supplying lighthouse oil was carried out by the Imperial Oil Com- pany of Sarnia, for the season of 1902. The specification upon which tenders were invited, required the oil to weigh at 62° Fahr., not less than 7-85, nor more than 8-20 lbs. per gallon, and to withstand a flash test of 115° Fahr. The quantity of oil supplied lights above Montreal during the season of 1902, was 22,802.90 gallons imperial measure, which cost $4,047.34; to the lights in the Quebec district, 26,609 gallons, which cost $4,448.97 ; to the lights in the Nova Scotia district, 53,281 gallons, which cost $10,567.53 ; to the New Brunswick district, 11,676 gallons, costing $2,535.65; to the Prince Edward Island district, 6,255 gallons, costing 81,376.10. REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 In addition to this the department purchased from the Standard Oil Company, of New York, 11,500 gallons of American oil for the Nova Scotia district, at a cost of 16^ cents a gallon in New York ; for New Brunswick, 5,000 gallons, at 16£ cents a gallon ; for the district above Montreal. 1,550 gallons at the same price in New York. The freight was paid by the department. In addition to this 7,000 gallons of American oil was purchased for the British Columbia district, at 25 cents a gallon in bond. The list of prices according to conlract is as follows : — Delivered at Sarnia Port Dalhousie Kingston Montreal .

MARINE HOSPITALS. Under the provisions of chapter 76, Revised Statutes, a duty of two cents per ton register is levied on every vessel arriving in any port in the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and British Columbia, the money thus collected forming the Sick Mariners' Fund. Vessels of the burden of 100 tons and less pay the duty once in each calendar year, and vessels of more than 100 tons, three times in each year. By an amendment of this Act passed at the session of Parliament in 1887, 50-51 Victoria, chapter 40, it is provided that no vessel, not registered in Canada and which is employed exclusively in fishing or on a fishing voyage, shall be subject to the payment of this duty. The receipts for the fiscal year ended June 30 last, amounted to $65,853.83, being an increase of $6,014.94, as compared with the preceding year. The increase and decrease in receipts for sick mariners' dues in the various provinces were as follows : — Nova Scotia, decrease $1,731.50; New Brunswick, increase, $1,873.93; Quebec, in- crease $4,701.11 ; Prince Edward Island, decrease $56.96; British Columbia, increase $1,522.62. The Sick Mariners Act does not apply to the province of Ontario, and consequently no dues are collected from vessels in that province, although a small expenditure is in- curred on account of sick seamen. An appropriation is made by Parliament to cover the expenditure at Kingston and St. Catharines, where general hospitals have been established and sick seamen were paid for at a per diem rate of 90 cents. 8 MA TIIXJ; AND FISH ERIE8 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1933 In the province of Quebec, the expenditure on account of sick seamen amounted to $7,927.62, being $496.29 more than the previous year. The total collections for the entire province amounted to $19,763.92, being $4,701.11 more than in the previous year. At the port of Montreal, sick seamen are cared for at the General Hospital and at Notre Dame Hospital, under an arrangement made by the department, by which 90 cents per diem is paid for board and medical attendance of each seaman. The sick mariners' dues collected at the port of Montreal during the fiscal year ended June 3U, amounted to $9,741.66. At the port of Quebec sick seamen are cared for at the Jeffery Hale and the Hotel Dieu hospitals, the sum of 90 cents per diem for each seaman is allowed for medical attendance and board. The sick mariners' dues collected at Quebec amounted to $7,267.66. The expenditure on account of sick seamen in the province of New Brunswick for the fiscal year amounted to $8,977.62, being $3,381.93 more than the preceding year, and the collection of dues to $13,230.14, or $1,873.93 more than the previous year. Marine hospitals have been maintained at Miramichi, Richibucto and Bathurst. In the province of Nova Scotia, marine hospitals are maintained at the ports of Yarmouth, Pictou, Sydney, Lunenburg and Point Tupper. The total expenditure on account of sick seamen in the province of Nova Scotia for the fiscal year amounted to $24,221.02 and the receipts to $20,767.55. At Halifax provision is made for the care of sick seamen at the Victoria General Hospital, under arrangements made with the managers, by which the sum of 90 cents per diem is allowed for board and medical attendance to sick seamen. In the province of Prince Edward Island the sum expended on account of sick and disabled seamen during the fiscal year was $1,616.11, and the receipts from sick mar- iners' dues were $454.84. Sick seamen are cared for at the Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island hospi- tals under arrangements made with the managers of these institutions, at the same rate as is paid to the public hospitals in other parts of the Dominion. In the province of British Columbia the sum of $3,240.15 was expended for sick and disabled seamen, while the receipts from the collection of sick manners' dues amounted to $11,898.64. The marine hospital at Victoria has in attendance a medical superintendent with a salary of $300 per annum, and a keeper whose salary is $500 per annum. He is also allowed a rate of $5 a week for board and attendance of each seaman. The keeper procures fuel, light, &c, at his own expense. At ports where no hospitals are established in the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, sick seamen are cared for under the chief officer of Customs, when the vessel to which the seamen belong have paid their dues according to law. A circular to collectors of Customs was issued February 7, 1891, permitting sick seamen to be attended at the port of arrival of a vessel, provided that the regular dues were previously paid at some port. During the fiscal year the sum of $799.33 was expended for shipwrecked and dis- tressed seamen, under the provisions of the Sick and Distressed Mariners Act. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The total expenditure on account of sick and disabled seamen and marine hospitals amounted to 12, and the appropriation of parliament for this service was 850,000. The dues collected amounted to $65,853.83. The receipts and expenditure in connection with sick and distressed seamen from the vear 1869 were as follows : — Receipts. Expenditure.

Fees were collected for inspection amounting to $37, 128.92 ; the fees from engineers for certificates amounted to 6910.00, and fees for inspection of tow barges to 6120. making the total receipts from steamboat inspection and engineer's certificates, $38,458.92. The net receipt to the credit of the fund for the previous year amounted to 832,876.57. The total expenditure in connection with inspection was 627.493.80, decrease of expenditure for the last fiscal year of $1,753.79. 10 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The consolidated laws relating to steamboat inspection came into force on the 1st day of January, 1899.

In addition to the 1,916 mentioned above, there are 76 registrars of shipping, who act under the direction and control of this department, but are, at the same- time, collectors of customs at various ports of registration, and receive no salary or fee in their capacity as registrars. There are 95 measnrers or surveyors of shipping throughout the Dominion who act as officers of this department, and are remunerated from their fees of office, although in addition to such office, many of them hold positions in the customs service. Also, in addition to the above, by Orders of Council of April 21, and December 2, 1874, the chief officer of customs at each port in the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, where no separate shipping office has been estab- lished, is to be held and deemed a shipping master, is to receive the fees, make the yearly returns to the department, and act in that capacity under its directions. 12 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 DOMINION STEAMERS. 'ABERDEEN.' The Aberdeen is an iron screw steamer 180 feet long, 31 feet liroad, and 16 feet deep; her tonnage is 674 gross, and 266 net. Her captain is Sigismund Be^anger, and her crew consists of 36 all told. The Aberdeen, on July 1, proceeded down the St. Lawrence river and supplied lighthouses as far as Magdalen Islands, Bird Rocks and Bryon Island. When this work was completed the steamer went to Charlottetown for fresh water for the boilers and thence to Pictou for coal. The bunkers were filled and a considerable quantity of cod placed in the hold. The vessel then started on the return trip and supplied some of the stations with coal on her way up the river, arriving in Quebec on August 3. She immediately began to ta'ce in supplies for lighthouses and left Quebec on August 14 for the Straits of Belle Isle to supply fog-alarms and lighthouses. Colonel Anderson, chief engineer of the department, made an inspection of the lighthouses and fog alarm stations in the Straits of Belle Isle, Cape Race and Cape Ray. This work was com- pleted about August 29, and the steamer called at St. John's, Newfoundland, from there she went to Sydney for coal and returned to Quebec on September 12. On October I, the Aberdeen entered upon the buoy service on the St. Lawrence river, and afterwards took in supplies at Quebec and proceeded down the river, supplying lighthouses as far as Belle Isle. When this work was completed the steamer went to Sydney for coal, and thence to Bird Rocks. She then proceeded to Pictou, and from there returned to Quebec. The vessel was engaged in lighthouse service until November 24. After that date she was engaged in taking up gas buoys and landing them on the Queen's Wharf, Quebec. The Aberdeen left Quebec on November 28 for Halifax, to engage in the service of the Nova Scotia agency. On her way the steamer lifted the automatic buoys of Prince Edward Island, and landed them at Charlottetown on December 2. She then resumed her trip to Halifax, calling at Pictou on the way and performing buoy service. She arrived at Halifax on December 13. Various work was performed up to December 19, when the Aberdeen proceeded to Sable Island, returning to Halifax on December 26. During the year 1901, the Aberdeen ran about 13,000 miles and consumed 1,762 tons of coal. The steamer was continued in the Nova Scotia agency in supplying lighthouses and fog alarm stations until May 27, 1902, on which date she arrived at Quebec. Her first trip in 1902 down the St. Lawrence river was begun on June 16, and the steamer was engaged in supplying lights on the river up to July 1. ' LANSDOWXE." The Lansdoivne is a wooden steamer, commanded by Captain George W. J. Bissett, and has a civw of 34 men in all. Her dimensions are 188 feet in length, 32 feet in breadth, and 15 feet in depth; gross tonnage 680, and registered tonnage 463. This steamer was employed in the Nova Scotia agency on July 1, 1901, attending to the coast buoy service and delivering lighthouse supplies and coal to fog-alarm stations and other work of a similar character. The Lansdoivne returned to her own i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 13 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 district in New Brunswick on July 25, and immediately began loading lighthouse sup- plies for the lighthouses in New Brunswick. The lighthouses supplied extend along the coast of the Bay of Fundy. The work was pretty well accomplished by September 8, and the work of attend- ing to the large automatic coast buoys was begun. This service occupied the vessel's time until October 25, when a trip of inspection of lighthouses was begun by the Chief Engineer, Agent and Inspector of Lights, and completed on November 7. The steamer was still employed in the New Brunswick agency until November 20, but owing to rough and stormy weather not much work was accomplished. The Lansdotone was again ordered to Halifax to resume work in that agency, being the only government vessel available for such service in the both agencies. The work in the Nova Scotia agency was completed on December 28, when the Lansdowne returned to St. John and resumed buoy service until January 11, 1902. The vessel was placed in winter quarters on January 12, and the work of inspection for repairs was begun. Extensive repairs were made to the hull, and in order to do this the steamer was placed on Hillyards blocks to examine and scrape the bottom and paint it. The steamer received a general overhauling, caulking and painting. The machinery received a general overhauling, and was put in good condition. The main boiler, however, was found to be impaired, and consequently the steam pressure was reduced. Tenders will be invited for a new boiler to replace the old one, and this steamer will thus be made serviceable for several years. The painting was carefully done outside, and the dardenelles, saloon, mess rooms, state rooms, berths and forecastle were painted with care. The steamer was taken off the blocks and taken to the ballast wharf and the work of repairs continued. The ship was put in commission on June 18, having been nearly five months undergoing repairs. He first work was in connection with placing the bell boat at Partridge Island, and the buoy service was continued by changing the several automatic buoys in Yar- mouth roads and elsewhere up to July 1. 1 minto.' The Minto is an iron steamer 225 feet long, 32-6 feet in breadth, 20-G feet in depth, gross tonnage 1,089, net tonnage 371 ; indicated horse power 2,900, and nominal horse power 21G. The steamer is commanded by Captain Andrew Finlayson, and has a crew of 39 in all. The steamer Minto left Charlottetownon the 22nd June, 1901, for Quebec and took on board His Excellency the Governor General, Lady Minto and suite for a tour of the lower St. Lawrence, Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Maritime Provinces. The trip occu- pied until July 20. The steamer then returned to Charlottetown and was laid up for cleaning and repairs until August 31. On the morning of the September 1 fire was discovered in the lower engine room . 45 484 75 ,060,98 CERTIFICATES TO MASTERS AND MATES. The report of Captain Bloorafield Douglas,. R.N.R., Acting Chairman of the Board of Examiners of Masters and Mates, forms Appendix No. 13 of this report. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, the Board of Examiners of Masters and Mates held examinations at Halifax four times, at St. John six times, and at Quebec once, at Yarmouth seven times, making eighteen times in all. There were also eleven examinations held at Victoria, B.C., the papers and problems having been sent from Victoria to the chairman at Halifax for his inspection and confirmation. At Halifax, one application was made for a foreign-going certificate of competency as master, an 1 three for coasting and inland ; one foreign-going and three coasting and inland masters received certificates. Nine applications were made for foreign-going certificates of competency as mate, and three for coasting and inland : eight foreign- going and three coasting mates received certificates. At St. John, six applications were made for foreign-going certificates of competency as master, and six foreign-going masters received certificates. Four applications were; made for foreign-going certificates as mate ; and three mates received certificates. Four applications were made for coasting and inland certificates as master, and two as mate four coasting and inland masters received certificates, and two mates. At Yarmouth, two applications were made for foreign-going certificates of com- petency as master and two foreign-going masters received certificates. Eight applica- tions were made for foreign-going certificates as mate ; and eight mates received certifi- cates. At Victoria, B.C., three applications were made for foreign-going certificates of competency as master, and eight applications were made for foreign-going certificates as mate ; all received certificates. 21— i-2i 20 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 At Quebec, one application was made for a foreign certificate of competency as mate ; one mate's foreign-going certificate of competency was issued. Tn supplement No. 1 to this report will be found a list of all who have obtained certificates of competency or service, either as master or mate during the year ended June 30, 1902. INLAND AND COASTING CERTIFICATES. During the twelve months ended June 30, 1902, the number of candidates in the Dominion who have passed, and obtained masters' certificates of service was ten, and two mates' certificates of service have been issued ; the amount paid for these certificates was SS8. The number of certificates of competency as master was two hundred and sixty-five as mate, one hundred and eight, and the amount paid for these certificates was $4,623. The amount received for renewed certificates of competency and service was $78, which with the amount paid for service certificates makes a total of $4,789 received for masters'' and mates' inland and coasting certificates issued during the twelve months ended June 30, 1902. A list of certificates issued during the twelve months ended June 30, 1902, will be found in supplement No. 1 to this report. The total amount of fees received on account of certificates of competency and ser- vice, sea-going, inland and coasting, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1902, was $5,298.52, and the amount in detail expended on account of the service as will be seen by reference to Appendix No. 1 to this report, was $3,305.59, leaving a balance to this service of $1,982.93. The vote for this service was $5,000, and the sum expended to June 30, 1902, $3,305.59, leaving an unexpended balance of $1,694.41.

The total number of casualties to British and Canadian sea-going vessels reported to the department, as having occurred in Canadian waters and to Canadian sea-going vessels in waters other than those of Canada, during the twelve months ended June 30, 1902, was 222, representing a tonnage of 105,814 tons register, and the amount of loss both partial and total, to vessels and cargoes a< far as ascertained was $835,916. The number of casualties to inland vessels so far as have been reported were slight and unimportant. The number of lives reported lost in connection with the casualties was 132. A statement of the wrecks and casualties will be found in supplement No. 1 to this report- LIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS. In last year's report the statements furnished by Messrs. George Pope and E. B. Morgan, inspectors of cattle shipments. Montreal, contained the total number of live stock shipped from the port of Montreal for the season of 1901. The returns for 1902 from these officers show a total shipment from Montreal for European ports to have been 77,150 cattle, an increase of 3,365 over 1901. The total number of sheep shipped during the season of 1902 was 45,830, a decrease from the shipments of 1901 of 8,708. The number of horses shipped from Montreal during 1902 was 549, a decrease of \ 89 for the year. The cattle shipments from Montreal have fallen off considerably during the last two years from previous years. This is attributed to the shipment of Canadian cattle from United States ports to Europe. While the shipments from Montreal to European ports have fallen off, they have increased at St. John, Halifax and Chariottetown. The shipments from St. John are principally made during winter months. From November, 1901, to July, 1902, both months inclusive, 11,611 cattle were shipped from St. John ; sheep 6,858, and horses 6,374. The horses were shipped principally to South Africa. From Halifax. 162 cattle were shipped : from Chariottetown 195 cattle and 3,733 sheep and from Quebec 3,661 cattle and 3,407 sheep. The total number of cattle shipped from the above ports to Europe was 92,788, and sheep 59,828. The total number of horses shipped to Europe and South Africa was 6,923. The above figures refer only to shipments inspected by the officers of the department. The shipments in detail will be found in Appendix No. 6, in Part II of this report, and the total in another statement at the end of the report in Part II, page 147 as all the returns for the month of November were not received until after the cattle reports were in print. M ETEOllOLOGICAL SERVICE. Two new stations were established in British Columbia, seven in the North-west Territories, three in Manitoba, five in Ontario. # 22 MARINE AX J) FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 There are now in the Dominion 323 stations using instruments which have been supplied by the Government ; at 24n stations the observations are taken voluntarily. The Departments of Agriculture in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia realize the importance of reliable meteorological data in connection with statistics of crops, acreage under cultivation, dec. Monthly charts containing notes on the leafing of trees and flowering of plants and other information are published. In August, 1S9G, the publication of a daily weather chart was commenced, con- taining information gathered from meteorological observations taken each day at 8 a.m. This chart i- displayed at Toronto at the Board of Trade, harbour master's office, and at some of the public schools. Private individuals obtain the chart, paying for it *4 per annum. Forecasts for the various districts lying between Manitoba and the Maritime Provinces, for twenty-four hours, are sent by telegraph to all points where morning newspapers are published. A second forecast covering the current and following day is sent to all ports, both on the great lakes and on the seaboard, it also appears in most of the afternoon papers published in the Dominion. Reports from stations in the Canadian Northwest Territories and Manitoba are collected at Winnipeg aud wired in one message to Victoria, B.C.; reports from Barker- ville. Cariboo Country, Kamloops and New Westminster are sent to Victoria at the same time as to Toronto. Dawson, in the Yukon District, has been equipped as a telegraph reporting station, and daily reports are telegraphed to Toronto and Victoria. This station, together with Port Simpson, of the British Columbia coast, will be invaluable in forecasting for the North-west Territories, an extension of work which it is proposed to make as soon as possible. The forecasts and storm warnings have been maintained during the year and 1,522 warnings were issued from Toronto, and of these 1,278 or 840 per cent were verified. The storm warnings are appreciated by mariners and the forecasts of weather have been considered valuable by forwarders. Seisinological observations have been made by keeping in operation the seismograph in Toronto and Victoria. The work in connection with the Magnetic Observatory at Toronto, as well as the other operations of the Meteorological Service, are recorded in detail in the report of Mr. R. F. Stupart, forming appendix No. 4, in Part II of this report. SIGNAL SERVICE. The reports of the Superintendent of the Signal Service at Quebec and Halifax, contain valuable information to mariners. Mr. J. U. Gregory is superintendent of this service at Quebec, and Lieut. R. M. McCrory of the Royal Engineers, at Halifax. Arrangements have been completed between the government of Canada and the Society of Lloyd's, whereby the following signal stations, maintained by the Dominion of Canada, have been included in Lloyd's system of reporting stations. Orders forwarded to Lloyd's can be notified to vessels by means of these signal stations, on the same terms and conditions as observations at Lloyd's signal stations, and vessels signalling to these i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER JJ3 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Canadian signal stations, will be reported to Lloyd's for insertion in the Lloyd's List and Shipping Gazette, and daily press, in the same manner as reports from Lloyd's signal stations.

Arrangements have been completed by the Department of Marine and Fisheries whereby all inward bound vessels showing their official numbers will be reported from marine signal stations in the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence immediately, and all reports will be promptly posted on the bulletin board of the Great North Western Telegraph Company's office in St. Peter street, Quebec, and on that of the Board of Trade in Montreal. Weather and ice reports will be forwarded twice a day, as formerly, and similarly posted. Arrangements have also been made for repeating all reports received to the pilot station at Father Point, so that pilots will be promptly advised of the locality of inward bound vessels. A telegraph station was established by the Government of Canada at the light- house at Point Amour and included in the list of marine signal stations from which reports will be posted at Quebec and Montreal. AVireless telegraph stations have been established by the Marconi Wireless Tele- graph Company (Ltd.) at Belle Isle and Chateau Bay and these stations have been included in the list of marine signal stations. REMOVAL OF OBSTRUCTIONS TO NAVIGATION. The sum of $1,000 was appropriated by Parliament for the removal of obstructions to navigation. By reference to the statement of expenditure it will be seen that the sum of $1,325.25 was expended for the fiscal year. A statement in detail will be found in the report of the Chief Engineer of this Department, under the heading of Removal of Obstructions. The expenditure is given in detail for the amount that has been expended during the calendar year, and therefore includes payments which have been made since the end of the fiscal year. 24 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 LIFE BOAT STATIONS. There are 27 stations in the Dominion of Canada. Most of these have crews that drill twice or three times a month, in the majority of cases twice a month. The men are paid 81.50 for each drill and an extra sum is paid when any service is rendered to shipwrecked mariners. A new life-saving station was built at Long Point, near Port Rowan, Lake Erie. The building has a dining room, kitchen and sleeping apartments for the crew. A tramway was built from the boat-house to the water's edge, and a floating extension is attached to the tramway to allow the boat to be launched into the water from the tram- car. This apparatus works very satisfactorily. A new boat and equipment wore sup- plied this station last year. The boat is a self-bailing surf boat, and has been reported a very satisfactory boat in a sea. The crew at this station went to the assistance of the steamer IT'. //. Stew n& of Buffal-., which was burned at Clear Creek on the night of September 7, 1902. After a long hard pull it was found that the crew of the steamer had already landed safely in their own boats, but the efforts of the crew were appreciated by the captain of the steamer. Point Pelee. — The men at this station are employed three months in the fall of the year, having their quarters at the station. During the balance of the season of naviga- tion they drill as at other stations, two or three times a month. The life saving station at Point Pelee was i*emoved from the extreme point of land about \ of a mile to a more secure place. The boat house which formerly rested upon the sand was placed upon cedar posts and a tramway was bu It tothe water's edge upon which the boat is launched. A new surf boat and equipment were supplied this station last season. A new surf boat was also supplied the life-saving station at Goderich, and tenders were invited for the sale of the old boat. Cobourg. — At Cobourg station, assistance was rendered the schooner ir. J. Suffell, of Port Hope, on April 20, 1901. In trying to make Cobourg Haibour in a snow storm and heavy gale, the vessel missed the entrance and went to leeward of pier. The coxswain and crew of the life-boat went to her assistance and after seven hours' work managed to get lines to the pier and the vessel safely into the harbour. Port Stanley. — At Port Stanley the schooner Mineral Slate, of Alpena, Mich., was wrecked about 20C yards from shore and south of the harbour, during a gale and heavy sea. The coxswain, J. R. Moore, and a volunteer life-boat crew, assisted by the tug Gordon Brown succeeded in rescuing the crew of five men who had been exposed for five hours. The coxswain and crew were granted $5 each for their services. Other services were rendered by life boat crews, but full reports have not been received, consequently the full account of the assistance rendered cannot at present be given. By referring to appendix No. 9 of Part II, a statement of the boats and life- saving stations will be found, also the kind of boat at each station, and the amounts paid the coxswains and crews. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 25 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The stations in the maritime provinces are inspected by Mr. Bloomfield Douglas, R.N.R. The Jessie Drummond while approaching the wharf at Cobourg in a gale stranded about 300 yards from the wharf. The crew consisting of six men and the stewardess were all rescued by the life saving boat and landed on the wharf. The lives of the crew were no doubt saved by the efforts of the "life saving crew, as the vessel broke up shortly after stranding. TREE PLANTING ON SABLE ISLAND. The report of 1901, contains a description of tree planting on Sable island. The object of the tree planting is to prevent the destruction of portions of the island by gales, and the sea changing the surface by washing away the soil and sand. . Any system of protecting the coast by breakwaters is reported financially impractic- able by the Chief Engineer, in view of the immense extent of coast line to be protected. The surface of Sable Island is covered with sand grass which to a certain extent prevents the shifting of the sand, but in all cases it has not an opportunity of taking root. The trees will be cultivated with a view of increasing the growth of the sand grass and also increasing the herbage on the island. In conjunction with Professor Saunders, of the Experimental Farm, I purchased while in France, in 1900, some 82,000 trees. These trees were planted last year. Many deciduous trees were checked in their growth during the winter but most of them started into growth in the early spring of 1902. Unfortunately a northerly gale which occurred on the 6th June last, and exceeded 50 miles an hour, lasting for 36 hours, killed off all the new leaves and spring growth. The superintendent reports that he is of the opinion that very few will recover from this set back, but the coniferous trees consisting of Austrian Mountain and Maritime Pine have stood the winter well and have made a growth this spring, in some instances of 4 inches. The seedling pines have also stood the winter well. About 1,000 of these have recently been transplanted in clumps in the park. This park consists of an area about 8 acres and is used largely as a nursery. COASTING TRADE OF C AX ADA. By the provisions of chapter 83, Consolidated Statutes of Canada, being an Act respecting the Coasting Trade of Canada, no goo:ls or passengers can be carried by water from one port in Canada to another except in British ships, but the (Jovernor in Council may from time to time declare that the Act shall not apply to ships or vessels of any foreign country in which British ships are admitted to the coasting trade of such country, and to carry goods and passengers from one port or place to another in such country. The Parliament of Canada was empowered to pass the Act alluded to under the provisions of the Imperial Act 32 Vic, chap. 11, intituled: An Act for amending the law relating to the Coasting Trade and Merchant Shipping in British Possessions, which came into operation in this country on its proclamation by the Gov- ernor General on October 23, 1869. It was ascertained that the following countries, viz., Italy, Germany, the Nether- lands, Sweden and Norway, Austro-Hungary, Denmark, Belgium and the Argentine 26 M ■ I RINE A XI) FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Republic allowed British ships or vessels to participate in their coasting trade on the sainc fi oting as their own national vessels; — the ships of Italy, by Order in Council 0* August 13, 1873 ; those of Germany, by Order in Council of May 14, 1874 ; those of the .Netherlands, by Order in Council of September 9, 1S74 : those of Sweden and Norway, by Order in Council of November 5, 1874 ; those of Austro-Hungary, by Order in Council of June 1, 1876 : those of Denmark, by Order in Council of January 25, 1877 ; those of Belgium, by Order in Council of September 30, 1879 ; and those of the Argen- tine Republic, by Order in Council of May 18, 1881, were admitted to the coasting trade of Canada. The following Act entitled an Act respecting the Coasting trade of Canada, was assented to 15th May, 1902, and relates to the payment of duty on foreign built British ships. His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Com- mons of Canada, enacts as follows : 1. In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the expression ' British ships ' means and includes all ships belonging wholly to persons qualified or entitled to be owners of British ships, under the provisions of ' The Merchant Shipping Act, 1894,' or any other Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom inthat behalf, in force for the time being. (2.) For all purposes of this Act the expression ' the coasting trade of Canada shall be deemed to include the carriage by water of goods or passengers from one port or place in Canada to another port or place in Canada. 2. No foreign-built British ship, whether registered in Canada or elsewhere, shall be entitled to engage or take part in the coasting trade of Canada unless such foreign- built British ship has first obtained a license for that purpose, which may be granted by the Minister of Customs. (2.) The Minister of Customs shall issue such license to any foreign-built British ship, whether registered in Canada or elsewhere, upon application therefor and upon the payment of a duty of twenty-five per cent ad valorem on the fair market value of the hull, rigging, machinery, boilers, furniture and appurtenances of such ship. (3.) This section shall not apply to any foreign-built British ship registered as a British ship prior to the first day of September, 1902. 3. No goods or passengers shall be carried by water, from one port of Canada to another, except in British ships ; and if any goods or passengers are so carried, as afore- said, contrary to this Act, the master of the ship or vessel so carrying them shall incur a penalty of four hundred dollar's ; and any goods so carried shall be forfeited, as smug- gled : and such ship or vessel may be detained by the collector of customs, at any port or place to which such goods or passengers are brought, until such penalty is paid, or security for the payment thereof given to his satisfaction, and until such goods are de- livered up to him, to be dealt with as goods forfeited under the provisions of The Cus- toms Act. 4. The master of any steam vessel, not being a British ship, engaged, or having been engaged, in towing any ship, vessel or raft, from one port or place in Canada to another, except in case of distress, shall incur a penalty of four hundred dollars ; and such steam vessel may be detained by the collector of customs at any port or place to or in which such ship, vessel or raft is towed, until such penalty is paid. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 27 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 5. Penalties and forfeitures under this Act may be recovered and enforced in the manner provided by The Customs Act, with respect to penalties and forfeitures incurred under it, and as if imposed by it ; and this Act shall accordingly be construed with reference to the said Act, and as forming one Act with it, and all words and expressions in this Act shall have the same meaning as the like words and expressions in the said Act. 6. The Governor in Council may, from time to time, declare that the foregoing provisions of this Act shall not apply to the ships or vessels of any foreign country in which British ships are admitted to the coasting trade of such country, and to carry goods and passengers from one port or place to another in such country. 7. Where by treaty made before the passing of ' The Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act, 1869,' (that is to say before the thirteenth day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine. ) Her late Majesty, Queen Victoria, agreed to grant to any ships of any foreign state any rights or privileges in respect of the coasting trade of Canada, those rights and privileges shall be enjoyed by those ships for so long as Her late Majesty agreed, or His Majesty the King may hereafter agree, to grant them. 8. Chapter 83 of the Revised Statutes is repealed. 9. This Act shall not come into force until His Majesty's pleasure thereon has been signified by publication in The Canada Gazette. REPORT UPON CASUALTIES IX THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER. During the season of navigation just closed there have been eleven important casualties in the St. Lawrence river, viz.: — Indiana, Rustington, Monteagle, Manchester Importer, Sahara, Manchester Engineer, Iberian, Loango, Edward Seymour, Bangoi Head, and Sicilian. Acting under instructions from the department. Commander O G. V. Spain, commanding the Fisheries Protection Service of Canada, held a preli- minary or informal inquiry in every case, the evidence being under oath. These reports are annexed. The British Board of Trade, London, England, were advised of the Minister's decision to hold an inquiry in future into every casualty occurring in the St. Lawrence and its approaches, and were asked to co-operate with the department in this matter. They have kindly consented, whenever it is possible to do so, to order an inquiry in England into any casualty in these waters that may have escaped inquiry in Canada. Under this arrangement they have taken steps to inquire into the cases of the Sahara and Monteagle. There appears to be, I regret to say, a certain amount of indifference in regard to these inquiries on the part of some ship owners when the conduct of their own officers is involved. The present discrimination against Canada in marine insurance rates is mainly, if not wholly, the result of the opinion entertained by underwriters in England that the accidents which occur from time to time in Canadian waters are owing to the dangerous navigation of the route. It is the policy of the department to demonstrate that this view is erroneous, and that it is only the inexperienced or careless captain or pilot who wrecks his ship. Under these circumstances it is not too much to expect that those who are engaged in the shipping trade, and whose interests are injuriously affected by the present condition of affairs, will assist the department in every possible manner when these inquiries are ordered. 28 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The investigations this season have shown that the strandings in the St. Lawrence arc not owing to the dangers of the route, or to the want of proper and efficient aids to navigation, and nowhere is this fact more apparent than in the inquiries held by order of the Board of Trade, during the past five years, into the casualties in the ap- proaches to the St. Lawrence, including the coast of Newfoundland. The following precis of these cases cannot fail to be of interest. It will be noticed that in all but two instances the captain was found in fault, and either his certificate was suspended or he was reprimanded. ' GANGES.' Montreal to Aberdeen, via Newcastle, general cargo and cattle, September 13, 1S98. This vessel was stranded off Ferolle Point, Newfoundland, on October 3, 1S98. Court found that loss of vessel was due to her not having made good the courses set and steered on October 3, but th it no default had been proven against master or any of the officers. . 'SCOTTISH KIN*;." Antwerp for Boston and Baltimore, general cargo, November 20, 1898. This vessel was stranded near Seal Cove, Newfoundland, on November 30, 1898. Court found that the wreck of the vessel was caused by her not making good courses, which were set too fine for passing Cape Race, and that she was navigated at too great a speed in thick weather, the master being ignorant of his position, which he had taken no steps to verify. The captain's certificate suspended for three months. ' PRODANO.' Baltimore to Leith, general cargo, September 24, 1899. This vessel was stranded at or near Wild Cove, St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, on October 1, 1899. Court found that the cause of the casualty was that the vessel was set to the northward of her course by a strong current, and that the master or any of the officers was not in default for such stranding. ' BAY STATE. ' Liverpool, G. B., for Boston, general cargo, September 25, 1899. This vessel was stranded near Cape Ballard, south-east coast of Newfoundland, on October 3, 1899. The court found that the casualty was due to the vessel not having made good the course steered, but that the loss of the vessel might have been avoided had the chief officer carried out his instructions, and the court, although refraining from dealing with his certificate, considered him deserving of very severe censure. ' MAREOTIS.' Quebec and Liverpool, cargo of lumber and deal ends, June 23, 1900. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 29 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 This vessel was stranded near Codroy, Newfoundland, on June 25, in dense fog. Court found loss of vessel due to the default of master, and although his certificate was not dealt with, the court strongly censured him for not reducing the speed of the vessel earlier. 'CREWE.' Sydney, C. B., to Bell Island, Conception Bay, Newfoundland, in ballast, May 16, 1901. This vessel was lost on the west side of St. Shot's Cove, Newfoundland, on the 17th May, 1901. Court found that loss of vessel was caused through master neglecting to make sufficient allowance for the prevailing current to the northward, failing to take frequent soundings, and navigating at too great a rate of speed in thick weather. His certificate was suspended for six months. 'ASSYRIAN.' Antwerp to Montreal, general cargo, May 26, 1901. This vessel was stranded in dense fog on the coast of Newfoundland, about one mile north of Cape Race, on June 5. Fog signal at Cape Race was heard sounding for an hour before the vessel went ashore, but at the time it was considered to be the fog signal from a steam vessel. Court found that loss of vessel was due to incautious navigation of master, and suspended his certificate for three months. ' DELMAR.' Dundee to Mobile, Gulf of Mexico, in water ballast, June 28, 1901. This vessel was stranded about 13 miles north of Cape Race, Newfoundland, on or about 8th July, 1901, in a dense fog. Court found that vessel was navigated at too great a rate of speed; no proper look-out was kept; lead was not used at any time before the stranding, which neglect in the opinion of the court was wholly unjustifiable ; that the casualty was caused by careless and negligent navigation on part of the master, and that the vessel was navigated neither with proper nor seainanlike care. Certificate suspended for six months, but on application of master court recommended that he be granted a chief mate's certificate during such period of suspension. The second officer was also censured. Court also made the following observation :— ' He (the captain) had plenty of searoom to the southward and westward, he was bound to a port two thousand miles distant, and why, in an uncertain position in thick weather and where irregular currents abound, he should attempt to make a point requir- ing the greatest care, rather than take a course which was comparatively safe, the court is at a loss to conceive.' 'acis.' Galveston, U.S.A., to Hamburg, general cargo, July 20, 1901. Yessel enveloped more or less in fog for two days before stranding. Court found that loss of vessel was due to the lead not being sufficiently used when the vessel was approaching Cape Race in thick weather. Master's certificate suspended for six months. 30 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Court expressed the following opinion: — 'It is also unaccountable why the master should continue steering for some hours during a dense fog in the direction of a dangerous coast when he had the whole of the ocean clear before him.' CONDENSED REPORT ON CASUALTIES TO STEAMSHIPS 'INDIANA,' ' RTJSTINGTON,' 'MONTEAGLE,' 'MANCHESTER IM- PORTER,' 'SAHARA.' Quebec, P.Q., September 23, 1902. Sir. — As the result of the commission appointed by the Honourable James Sutherland, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, dated August 30, 1902, we, the under- signed, commissioner and nautical assessors, respectfully condense our findings in the five cases dealt with, and report : — (For full particulars see reports attached.) (1) These five casualties were not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in ' Aids to Navigation ' on board any of the steamships. (2) These five casualties were not caused — not a complaint being heard or reported of any one light, fog signal or buoy — by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the 'Aids' to Navigation ' on the route of the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. (3) These five casualties were caused by the inexperience or carelessness of some one or more of the captains, or officers, or pilots. We recommend that owners only employ careful, experienced captains and officers: and also that the pilotage system of the St. Lawrence be put under government con- trol. We have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servants, (Sd.) O. G. V. SPAIN, Commissioner. Assessors : (Sd.) R. S. CLIFT, Master Mariner and Marine Surveyor. (Sd.) W.

In the case of the Indiana the whole proceedings from the time the captain of this vessel sighted land on our side on the way out, seem to have been most ex- i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 31 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 traordinary. In the first place, he sighted land, from what we can make out, some- where about Scattarie on the Cape Breton coast, but from his position as placed by him on the chart and shown in his log, he should have been sixty (60) miles or thereabouts to the northeast, but he cannot give us any definite information exactly where he was. The next place he sighted was St. Paul's Island, from which he says his distance was about five (5) miles. When asked how he knew this, he said it was simply a guess, and that he took no bearings whatever. After this, instead of shaping his course to pass about the same distance from Bird Rocks, he steered a course which brought Bryon Island ahead ; then he had occasion to alter his course to the northward to take him outside of the Bird Rocks. After sighting these rocks, north of the Mag- dalens, the same thing happened, and no bearings or distances were taken from the lighthouse. He then found himself off what he considered the Gaspe coast, but he was not sure about it. Cape Chatte was then sighted, but he was not sure about his distance from this place. On the way eastward after loading in Montreal (the pilot left him as usual at Father Point) he ran a certain number of courses but he knows absolutely nothing about the deviation of his compass on any of them. This was the first time he was sail- ing the easterly courses, but instead of remaining on deck this particular night (June 24 last) which was fine, and watching the courses and lights and endeavouring to find out the difference between the courses made good and the courses steered, he took no means whatever to ascertain the error of his compass, although the pilot apparently did so and informed him that there was about one point of westerly deviation on his easter- ly courses ; but the captain has no record of any deviation on easterly courses either in his scrap-log, the mate's log or the deviation book. He was using a chart of a very small scale and told us that it was the best one he had, but upon going on board the ship on Saturday morning, the 6th instant, we found that he had a drawer-full of the most recent charts on a large scale, with the exception of the one from the Saguenay to the western end of Anticosti, which latter covers the ground over which the vessel went from Father Point to the place she went ashore near Mingan. We also found that he was not provided with sailing directions or a pilot book for the Gulf and River St. Lawrence ; otherwise, the necessary aids to navigation on board the vessel were complete. The captain informed us that the owners had given him carte-blanche to order anything he considered requisite before leaving England. On measuring off his lead line it was found it was considerably in error. It was quite impossible either for the court or the captain, or his chief officer to lay down on the chart the courses and distances steered as the captain acknowledged that the entries in the log-book which he produced, with regard to these items were not to be depended upon and, as a matter of fact, when the captain and chief officer at- tempted to lay down these courses according to this book they went, in many cases, over the land. When asked to point out the position that he thought the vessel was at 5.30 a.m., before the time of stranding on June 26 last, he indicated a position which was some seventy (70) miles to the southward. 32 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 • >ii the eastward passage, he left Father Point at 8.30 a.m., and according to the gulf reports and also the evidence of the captain of the King Edward who passed down the river at the same time, the weather was clear, and vessels were reported pass- ing various points both a.m. and p.m. on that day. After carefully considering the whole case and examining all the witnesses possi- ble, we find : 1. That the owners having given Captain Furneaux carte-blanche are not blamable for any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ■ Aids to Navigation ' on board the steamer. 2. That this casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the Aids to Navigation' in the route of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence. 3. That Captain Furneaux was guilty of almost criminal carelessness in his navigation of the vessel and in neglecting to ascertain the deviation of the compass on easterly courses, and in using an inefficient chart, and in neither having nor reading sailing directions or pilot book for the St. Lawrence. i. Regarding the charges of drunkenness against the captain and officers ; from the evidence of the witnesses examined, these charges have not been substantiated. We therefore recommend that a formal investigation should be held into the case of the stranding of this vessel as soon as possible. We have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servants, (Sgd.) 0.

In reference to the informal investigation into the cause of the stranding of the ss. Rustington ; Captain Burnett commanding, on Barnaby Island, on August 1, last, we have, in the absence of the captain, officers and crew, only been able to obtain the evidence of parties who were not on board the vessel at the time of the casualty, also reports from the gulf in reference to the weather, the captain's notarial protest, together with the wreck register No. 19,003. i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 33 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 On or about July 20 last, the Rustington sailed from Fleetwood, Great Britain, in water ballast bound for the River St. Lawrence, and on this voyage all her courses would naturally be to the westward. On arriving in the St. Lawrence she called at Matane for orders on the 1st day of August last, and received them that day to proceed to Batiscan, above Quebec, to load. On the evening of the same day, during a fog, she was two to three miles off Bicquette by the sound of the fog-horn, waiting for a pilot ; (in the Captain's own words) ' Being fog and unable to obtain pilot at Bic Island, turned round eastward ; position at the time 2 to 3 miles off Bic (?) light- house (presumably Bicquette) by sound of horn. Set course E. by N. magnetic E. f N. This course should have taken ship at least 8 miles off Rimouski Island.' (?) The Captain altered his course to E. f N. magnetic, fog still continuing, and proceeded down the river again and ran shore on the west end of Barnaby Island about twelve miles from Bicquette at 11.30 p.m., on the same day. The vessel jumped up about 18 inches forward, showing that she was going at a fair rate of speed and her head was about south-east. She remained there until August 4, on which date Davie's wrecking appliances arrived and she was floated at 2 o'clock p.m., on that day, taken to Quebec and repaired. Loaded with spruce deals and sailed from that port on August 30, bound direct for Bristol, Great Britain. "We are of the following opinion : — That the vessel was in a safe position, two to three miles off Bicquette Island. We are unable to understand why the captain proceeded on easterly courses, evi- dently not knowing the deviation of his compass on these courses, to pass eight miles (to quote his own words) 'outside Rimouski Island' — wherever this may be. His com- pass must, if he steered the course he reports, have had considerable easterly deviation. The ship went over a part of the river where there are good soundings and anchorage, and we cannot understand why he did not sound and anchor as he approached the land. It is a well known fact that a vessel steering for some weeks on westerly courses and then suddenly changed to the eastward, her courses steered cannot be relied upon, and especially in the vicinity of land. After careful consideration of the matter and having heard expert evidence as far as possible, we have come to the following conclusion : — 1. So far as we have been able to ascertain, the casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' on board the vessel. 2. That the casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation : in the route of the River St. Lawrence. 3. That the casualty was caused by the master unwisely steering from a safe position off Bicquette on an E. £ N. course, apparently not knowing the deviation of his compass on easterly courses, and ran ashore on the west end of Barnaby Island approxi- mately twelve (12) miles away ; off which remarkably good and reliable soundings and anchorage may be obtained for many miles. It is also very evident that he must have entirely neglected the use of his lead. 4. We have been unable to obtain any evidence as to the master's past record. 21— i— 3 34 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Taking all these facts into consideration we respectfully recommend that a formal investigation be held into the case of this vessel as soon as possible. We have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servants, (Sgd.) O. G. V. SPAIN, Assessors : — Commissioner. (Sgd.) If. S. CLTFT, Master Mariner and Marine Surveyor. (Sgd.) W. SIMONS, Naval Architect, Port Warden. Lieut. Colonel F. Gourdbau, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Ottawa, Ontario. Quebec, September 22, 1902. Sir — Re SS. Manchester Importer. In the investigation into the cause of the casualty to the ss. Manchester Importer, we ascertained the following facts : — The steamer loaded a general cargo at Montreal, and sailed from there under the command of Captain Frederick Dundas, on the morning of August 22, and in passing Quebec at 7 o'clock p.m., of the same day, changed pilots, taking Alphonse Asselin as pilot for the Lower St. Lawrence. The ship experienced fine clear weather, passing through the Traverse at 12.30 a.m., of the 23rd., and passed Cape Salmon at 3.25 a.m., weather getting hazy, and ran ashore going full speed on the north side of White Island reef, at 4.45 a.m., same day, with weather heavy, light wind and smooth water ; remain- in<* hard and fast, making water in Nos. 1 and 2 tanks and No. 1 hold. Assistance arrived from Quebec she was lightened and got off on August 26, taken to Quebec, repaired, re-loaded and sailed again on September 6. The Harbour Commissioners of Quebec held an inquiry into the conduct of the pilot and courteously allowed us to be present and ask any questions we thought proper — vide report attached. At the inquiry into the casualty to the ss. Rnstington we examined Mr. Morin, President of the Pilots' Corporation, and Captain Gibson of the ss. Kingstonian, and as this is only a preliminary inquiry, we duplicate the evidence of these two gentlemen. We also examined Captain W. F. Slayter, R.N., of H.M.S. Ariadne; and visited the ss. Manchester Importer, examining very fully all the ' aids to navigation ' on board, and we arrive at the following conclusion : — The steamer left Montreal well found in ' aids to navigation ', &c, at Quebec took on board Alphonse Asselin, pilot, and passed in clear weather through the Traverse at 12.30 a.m., under his charge, with the captain in bed, who left orders to be called if weather changed. At 3.25 o'clock a.m., when off Cape Salmon, the pilot sent the 2nd i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 35 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 mate to call the captain to tell him the weather was getting hazy, but he remained in bed ; vessel proceeding full speed. At 4 a.m., the chief mate relieved the 2nd mate on the bridge ; weather getting thicker. At 4.25 a.m., the fog signal on White Island light-vessel was heard distinctly on the starboard bow ; the pilot ported the helm and vessel ran ashore on White Island reef, at full speed. We are informed that the pilot has been suspended for six months, but as the greater part of that time there is no navigation in the river St. Lawrence, and the monetary loss is partly replaced by his confreres subscribing a sura of money for his benefit, it is tantamount to giving him a holiday. We consider it the duty of a captain to be on the bridge day or night when coin" through narrow waters such as the Traverse and the North Channel, and we are of opinion that if Captain Dundas had been on the bridge after passing Cape Salmon, the casualty would not have occurred, but we attribute his imprudent confidence in his pilot to his inexperience in the trade, he having been here only twice before : and consider that owners should only put experienced captains and officers on steamers in this trade. After reviewing the whole facts of the case we find : — (1.) The casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in ' Aids to Navigation ' on board the steamer. (2.) The casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' in the route of the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. (3.) The casualty was caused by an error of judgment on the part of the pilot and the inexperience of the master in the navigation of the St. Lawrence. N.B. — (4.) We consider that the punishment of the pilot is inadequate, and that the pilotage of the River St. Lawrence should be under the control of the government, and that pilots be examined and tried by competent experts, and when suspended should be kept going up and down the river on steamers. We recommend that as the pilot has been suspended no further inquiry be held, but that copies of the above be sent to the owners, and the British Board of Trade.

Quebec, P.Q., September 23, 1&02. SlR,- Re SS. 'Sahara' In the investigation into the cause of the casualty to the ss. Sahara, we ascertained the following facts : — This steamer loaded a cargo of rice at Rangoon, and sailed on April 12, 1902, for Montreal, under the command of Captain William Cave ; nothing occurring until 7.45 a.m., on June 10, when the vessel, off Father Point, failed to get a pilot, and weather getting foggy proceeded at 7. 55 a.m., for Bicquette pilot grounds. Noon, dense fog ; 1.30 anchored two miles west of Barnaby Island in seven fathoms. At 2.30 p.m., fog clearing, proceeded ; 3.45 p.m., made out Bicquette Island : 1.13 p.m., proceeded slowly^ signalling for pilot. At 4.30 p.m., Bicquette Island abeam 1£ mile; seeing no pilot schooner steamed into the southward, fog at the time setting in ; 5.16 p.m., anchored in seven fathoms, fog continuing. At 5.55 fog clearing, a pilot schooner was seen bearing W.N.W., weighed anchor and steamed towards the pilot schooner: stopped to take the pilot from the schooner's boat, and the steamer drifted on to the South-west reef of Bic- quette Island, partly filling Nos. 1, 2, and 3 holds, and the crew all went ashore as the vessel taking a heavy list to port it was thought it would capsize. Assistance being obtained from Quebec, vessel got off at 11.40 p.m., of June 17, and proceeded to Mont- real, discharged there and went to Quebec where she was repaired and loaded a cargo of lumber for the United Kingdom. After carefully examining the captain's extended protest and wreck report ; and weather reports for the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence for June 10 ; also having heard the evidence of Captain Davie and Pilot Joseph V. Gourdeau, we have come to the following conclusion : — That the vessel sailed from Rangoon well found in ' Aids to Navigation ; &c., and was carefully navigated till she arrived off Father Point, where the master showed un- due haste in only remaining ten minutes for the pilot who was waiting for him there ; he, however, seems to have carefully navigated his vessel, taking frequent soundings and anchoring once, and then again anchoring above and inside Bicquette Island looking for the pilot schooner; weather on clearing, he saw the pilot schooner at anchor to the west-north-west. As it was calm the schooner could not get under weigh and he got the steamer under weigh to meet the boat containing Pilot Gourdeau which the pilot schooner was sending. As he neared the boat he stopped his engines and did not notice the strong ebb tide which, in the first half, sets to the north-east, setting him directly on to the south-west reef, and not parallel to the shore, consequently, just before the pilot got to the steamer she struck on Bicquette south-west reef and sustained much damage to hull and cargo. The captain and officers seem to have worked heartily in conjunction with the assistance sent from Quebec. As Bic Islands and Bicquette lighthouses were plainly in view, we must attribute the casualty to the captain's impulsive imprudence and to his inexperience in the trade i REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 37 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 in not knowing the set of the first half of the ebb tide, and his undue haste in not wait- ing at Father Point for his pilot. After carefully reviewing the whole facts of the case we find : — (1.) This casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in ' Aids to Navigation ' on board the steamer. (2.) This casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' on the route of the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. (3.) This casualty was caused by the imprudence of the captain in too hastily leav- ing Father Point, and lack of experience in not knowing the set of the tides in the vicinity of Bic Island. We therefore recommend that a formal inquiry be held into the cause of this casualty. We have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) O. G. V. SPAIN, Commissioner. Assessors : (Sgd.) R.

Q., 23rd September, 1902. Sir,— Re SS. 'MONTEAGLE.' In the investigation into the cause of the casualty to the ss. Monteagle we have ascertained the following facts : — The steamer loaded a general cargo at Bristol and sailed July 2, for Montreal, under command of Captain W. L. D. Chapman, R.N.R., experienced several days of foggy weather, passing Cape Ray at 8.09 a.m., on July 11, fine clear weather, and Bird Rocks at 1.33 p.m., same day ; Ga«pe light at 1 a.m., July 12 ; Rosier light at 1.21 a.m., and at 2.35 a.m., ran ashore on Serpent Reef, 7} miles east of Fame Point, filling Nos. 1 and 2 holds, vessel going full speed and fine clear weather — vide Captain's extended protest and extract from log. Ass:stance being obtained from Quebec and Montreal vessel got off at 11.50 p.m., on July 17, proceeded to Montrea1, discharged cargo and sailed for New York to be repaired, where she now lies. After going fully into the evidence of Captain Chapman and Pilot St. Laurent, and examining the weather reports for July 10 and 11, we arrive at the following conclusion : The steamer left Bristol well found in ' Aids to Navigation,' FIS HE 11 1 ES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 she had been carefully navigated, passing Cape Ray, Bird Rocks and Gaspe, the latter at 1 a.m., with the 2nd mate on the bridge. Tomlinson, quartermaster, took the wheel at 2 a.m., by the courses steered the vessel was at a safe distance and at 2.25 a.m. the captain altered the course to north 51 west true, which would be north 22 west mag- netic, which should take her further off the land. We are of opinion that the 2nd mate must have altered this course to almost straight ashore, as she struck at 2.35, breaking day ; houses on shore visible and Fame Point light clear and distinct. When the captain showed the second mate Fame Point lighthouse 8" on the port bow at 1.35 a.m., it would have been impossible for the vessel to have arrived at Ser- pent Reef except the light had been brought on the starboard bow. If the captain had given a course to take the ship ashore, the night was so fine, the land so bold and visible, that the second mate should have put her head off and called the master. In view of the past record of the second mate, we can only conclude that he was to blame for the casualty. The master and officers, after the stranding, seem to have made vigorous and suc- cessful efforts, in conjunction with the assistance sent, to float the vessel. From the records of the gulf and river reports for July 10 and 11, we find there is no foundation for the belief that there was any abnormal current on the night of the 11th, and we find that the buoy on Serpent Reef which was washed away previous to that date, would not have prevented the casualty had it been in its place. We find that the buoy has since been replaced. The second mate having been discharged in New York some time ago, it is impos- sible to examine hi t>, but we consider that after the complaint of the captain in regard to a previous casualty on the west coast of Africa, the owners should have relieved him (the captain) of this officer. After reviewing the whole facts of the case we find : — (1.) The casualty was not caused hy any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' on board the ss. Monteagle. (2.) The casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' on the route of the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. (3.) This casualty was caused by the lack of seamanship and judgment displayed by the second mate in either steering the vessel ashore, or not altering his course when he saw the vessel approaching the land. We therefore recommend that a formal investigation be held into the case of the stranding of this steamer. We have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servants, (Sgd.) O. G. V.

' Manchester Engineer.' In the investigation into the cause of the casualty to this vessel, the following facts were ascertained : — I >n her last trip inwards she came by the Straits of Belle Isle ; the master laid off the course of his ship from the South point, Anticosti, so as to pass Fame point, three miles off. When the vessel arrived in the vicinity of Fame point at 10.15 a.m., on October 15, 1902, the weather being perfectly clear, with a rather strong north-west wind, she was steering north-west by west, and a black buoy was observed on the port quarter, which evidently must have been Fox River buoy, but which the master mistook for Serpent reef buoy. About one-half an hour after sighting this first buoy, another black buoy was observed right ahead ; the master, for some reason best known to himself, took this for a buoy adrift, and passed it about a cable's length off his starboard side, and five minutes afterwards the ship struck. This disaster was entirely due to a very grave error ia judgment on the part of the captain of the ship, which he himself acknowledges. I respectfully recommend that a formal inquiry be held into the causes which led to the stranding of this vessel. SS. ' Loango. ' This vessel, on November 6 last, on her way from Three Rivers to Quebec, grounded at 7.30 p.m. on Cap Rouge point. The Loango was wholly in charge of the pilot at the time of the casualty, he himself being at the wheel and steering the ship with his own hands. It was a very dirty night and drizzling rain. I attribute the grounding of the Loango to the over-confidence of Pilot Frenette in considering that he was capable of steering the vessel on such a dark night : if the ship had come to anchor, the casualty, no doubt, could have been avoided. As the vessel, at the time of the accident, was entirely under the guidance of Pilot Alfred Frenette, who has had his certificate suspended, I consider that a formal inquiry is not necessary. SS. ' Bangore Head.' This vessel left Swansea, South Wales, on October 31, 1902, with a cargo of coal, and had very bad weather nearly the whole way out. They passed Bird Rocks about 14 miles off, saw Cape Gaspe, and all the lights right along, and bearings were taken in nearly every case, the last taken being at Cape Chat, and various courses were steered along the land. Matane light was bearing west f south by compass, and Ste. Felicity was bearing south-east ^ east by compas3 just before the ship struck : the log showed 34 miles from Cape Chat, and the depth of water was 7 fathoms immedi- ately after she struck. The Bangore Head was drawing 22 ft. 11^ in. aft, and 22 ft. 4 in. forward, on leaving England. The master claims that she struck either a sunken wreck, or a boulder that had been carried down by the ice. I am, however, of the opinion that the vessel was too close into the south shore. 40 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 In view of the ' Notice to Mariners,' issued by this department on May 6, 1902, in which masters of vessels are strongly warned (copy attached hereto) to make full allowance for strong downward current, and especially in thick weather, to give the south shore a good berth, which may easily be done, as the estuary is clear and open for a width of 25 miles, as far up as Bic Island. Hugging the south shore is only in- curring unnecessary risk for the saving of a little time. Constant use cf the lead in thick weather is also urged. I consider this a case for a formal inquiry. Dominion of Canada. NOTICE TO MARINERS. No. 31 of 1902. (ATLANTIC NOTICE No. L8.) All bearings, unless otherwise noted, are magnetic and are given from seaward, miles are nautical miles, heights are above high water, and all depths are at mean low water. QUEBEC. (119) Lower St. Lawrence — Gaspe coast — Alloicancefor downward current. Several vessels have stranded during past seasons in the neighbourhood of Matane, and these vessels have invariably been inward bound. Inquiries made on the spot by the chief engineer of this department, together with examination of the logs of some of the stranded vessels, show that most, if not all, of these accidents have been caused by want of allowance for the very strong downward set of current on that part of the Gaspe coast. The officers navigating the vessels have changed their courses to port, on the assumption that they were above Matane, when in reality they were several miles farther east than their reckonings. Mariners are reminded that the current is invariably down stream, both with the ebb and flood tides ; and as such a current always strengthens during the ebb, it seems possible that at certain times its strength may be greater than is stated on the Admir- alty charts. The indications which they give, together with some additional information secured by the tidal survey in this department, may be summarized as follows : — From the mouth of the Saguenay to Cape Chat, the charts show a constant current, always down. (See charts 309 and 312; Cape Chat to Bic Island, and Bersimis to Saguenay.) This current occupies more than half the width of the river on the southern side. Its strength is stated to be from \\ to 2\ knots. There is a weak flood in the opposite direction close in-shore, but it keeps closer in than vessels usually venture to go- This current continues to follow the south shore as far as Cape Gaspe, where it leaves the mouth of the St. Lawrence. Off Fame point it usually occupies a width of about 12 miles next the shore ; but under some conditions it is displaced and occupies a belt in mid-channel, between the Gaspe and Anticosti coasts. Its strength as far clown as the offing of Fame point usually varies between 1 and 2 knots, but a speed of as much as 2T^ knots was there observed. (See reports of tidal survey.) i REPORT OF THE DUPUTY MINISTER 41 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The coast is so bold, from Gaspe as far as Matane, that a vessel ma}' be in 50 fathoms when within three miles of the shore. Below Matane the 30-fathom line is nowhere more than 2 miles from the shore (See charts 307 and 309.) Warning. — From the above it is clearly necessary to make full allowance tor a strong downward current, and, especially in thick weather, to give the south shore a good berth, which may safely be done as the estuary is clear and open for a width of 25 miles, as far up as Bic island. Hugging the south shore is only incurring a quite unnecessary risk for the sake of saving time. Constant use of the lead in thick weather is also urged. Variation in 1902: 2 W.

In the investigation into the cause of the mishap to this vessel, the following facts were ascertained : — On her voyage to Quebec, the Iberian went ashore on Red Island Reef, at 5.50 o'clock, p.m., on October 30, 1902, while under the charge of Pilot Joseph E. Lachance. She was very seriously damaged, in fact so much so, that she has to remain in the dry dock at Levis, for the winter. The master was down below at the time of the accident ; the vessel was going Hi knots, and the third officer was on the bridge. The night was quite clear and the weather tine. I consider this casualty attributable to the pilot mistaking Red Island lightship for White Island lightship, and also to his leaving the bridge and going below, where he was at the time of the disaster. His certificate has been suspended for eighteen (18) months. I have also to point out that the master was down below when the vessel struck. I consider a formal inquiry necessary in this case. Barkentine • Edward Seymour.' In the investigation into the causes which led to the total loss of the barkentine Edn-ard Seymour on the Island of Antic sti, with the loss of one seaman, the follow- ing facts were ascertained : — This vessel left Cadiz, Spain, on September 6, 1902, loaded with salt and bound for Malbaie, Gaspe county, Quebec. The first land sighted on this side was Cape North, 42 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Cape Breton. From this time on, until the vessel went ashore, they appear to have had more or less terrific weather, blowing a heavy gale and thick. It was ahsolutely impossible for the master to get any sights for some three days before she was wrecked, and he was depending entirely upon his dead reckoning. From all the information that could be obtained, the Ehcard Seymour appears to have been well found in every way aa regards spars, sails, boats, kc.\ she had three compasses, and the master said they were correct. The ship's logs and all documents were lost at the time she went ashore. This casualty was not caused by any inefficiencies or deficiencies in the ' Aids to Navigation ' in the route of the (iulf and River St. Lawrence. This casualty, I consider, is not attributable to anything that can be called negli- gence on the part of the master or crew, but comes within the category of "fortuitous accidents ' I am of the opinion that a formal enquiry is not necessary in this case. I have the honour, to be, sir, Your obedient servant, O. G. V. SPAIN, Commissioner. It will be seen from the foregoing reports of investigations that Commander Spain and Assessors Clift and Simons, do not attribute any of the casualties to inefficient aids to navigation, or a deficiency of such aids. While the casualties were due to other causes than deficiency in aids to navigation it is not claimed that improvements are not necessary, on the contrary the work of adding lighthouses, fog-alarms, gas buoys, warn- ing buoys, beacons and other aids is steadily progressing. Tests are being made of different lighthouse apparatus, illuminants, sirens and other fog-alarms with a view of securing the most modern and powerful kinds. Experiments have been made with acetylene gas as an illuminant and information on the subject will be found in another part of this report. Tests have also been made of the Scotch siren operated by com- pressed air and an invention called the diaphone. These tests have been made for the purpose of selecting the most suitable aids for Canadian waters generally as well as the St . Lawrence route. F.

This embraces most of the technical work at departmental headquarters, including the construction and maintenance of lighthouses, lightships, fog-alarms, buoys and beacons ; the supervision of construction and repairs of lifeboats ; the administration of the vote for the removal of wrecks and obstructions in navigable waters; tidal and current surveys ; hydrographic surveys, and the publication, examination and correction of hydrographic charts ; construction of and repairs to fish hatcheries and refrigerators ; engineering points in connection with the construction and maintenance of fish-passes ; supervision of surveys of oyster beds ; examination of applications for foreshore, wharf and water lots as they affect the interests of navigation ; preparation and publication of notices to mariners and hydrographic notes, &c. There are special staffs appointed for the tidal observation work and for the hydro- graphic survey work ; the remainder of the work of the branch is attended to by the general staff of the office. STAFF. I have again much pleasure in testifying to the good work done by my staff throughout the past year. The vigour with which the government is improving and increasing aids to navi- gation has very materially increased the work of designing in the department, and these increased demands on the staff have not only worked all the members hard, but have necessitated the employment of two additional architects. Mr. F. J. Alexander, a practising architect in Ottawa, has been temporarily em- ployed as architect and draughtsman since March 29, 1902, with a salary at the rate of 81,200 per annum. Mr. E. C. Larose, a practising architect in Ottawa, has been temporarily employed as architect and draughtsman since April 24, 1902, with a salary of 81,200 per annum. OFFICE WORK. A large proportion of the work done by the general staff of the branch consists in the construction and maintenance of light buildings, fog-alarms, buoys, beacons and other aids to navigation. Full details of the work done in this connection last year are contained in a separate report prepared by me, in my capacity of general superintendent of lighthouses, which is attached hereto. (Tnclosuro A.) 44 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Plans and specifications for all important new buildings and repairs, new vessels, buoys, «kc, are made or approved in this office.

To meet this contin- gency an effort is being made to allot to different members of the staff particular special- ties. Mr. B. H. Fraser has been entrusted during the past year in addition to his ordinary duties as assistant in charge, with the designing and installation of machinery, and has spent a great deal of time on the perfecting of fog alarm machinery. An officer should be selected to superintend the hydrographic work. The detail required in issuing notices to mariners has continued very heavy, and demands so much time that it became necessary to allot an assistant for the spechil work of preparing them for publication. This work has been placed in the hands of Mr. J. M. O'Hanly. During the past year, 124 notices, comprising 406 subjects, have been published, and the form of the notices has been changed, rendering them both more compact and more explicit. They are also numbered separately as Atlantic, Inland and Pacific notices to facilitate filing. We are not attempting to issue notices for the whole world, as is done by some governments, but try to promptly issue all notices relating to Canadian waters, and occasionally include items relating to foreign ports that might be of interest to ships i REPORT <>F THE CHIEF ENGINEER 45 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 leaving Canadian ports. During the past twelve months, foreign notice were issued, covering twelve items relating tc Newfoundland, two items relating to the Atlantic, seventy-four to the inland, and six to the Pacific waters of the United States, as well as sixteen notices referring to transatlantic, and eight to transpacific subjects. To facilitate prompt distribution, and to insure the notices reaching all mariners interested, the distribution list has been revised and the addresses printed. The department desires to insure every mariner using Canadian ports seeing all notices to mariners issued by the Canadian (iovernrnt-nt. Arrangements have been completed for issuing an index to the year's notices to mariners, so that the offices which file them can bind the whole, for future reference, into neat book form. The usual annual edition of the List of Lights and Fog Signals on our coasts correc- ted to April 1, 1902, was issued on June 3, 1902. It is hoped that the next edition corrected up to January 1, 1903, may be ready soon after New Year. ACETYLENE LIGHTING. During the past year experiments have been in progress with a view to ascertain- ing the practicability of adopting acetylene as a lighthouse illuminant. Five genera- tors manufactured by the Savoie-Guay Company, under the patent of Doctor Chevrier, have been purchased and installed at the lighthouses at Oka, L'Orignal, Aylmer island and Baskin wharf range lights, on the Ottawa river. This machine is designed to with- stand frost, a glycerine mixture being used as a gas seal instead of water. One of these machines has already given out, and it seems evident that the cos:, of installation and maintenance will both militate against their adoption for small lights. A Sunlight acetylene plant was installed by the Sunlight Gas Company at Father Point light station, and acetylene eras lights from one foot burners are now used in the nine reflectors of the revolving apparatus. The result has been a very great increase in the power of the light, and reports have been received that the light, which has a hori- zon of only 14 miles, has repeatedly been seen as far as 28 miles. .Mariners have spoken in t'.e highest terms of the great increase in the power of this light. The cost of the installation here was greater than it should have been. The consumption of carbide appears to be larger than necessary, and it is a question whether the machinery and gas fixtures will prove permanent in character. These are details of construction that can undoubtedly be overcome, but the existence of these doubtful points indicates that a perfect acetylene generating machine for lighthouse wo;k has not yet been secured. Mr. J. F. Fraser, acting on instructions from the Minister, installed on the buov tender Scout a temporary acetylene gas generating plant. From the middle of sprin«- until the close of navigation four of the six gas buoys in Lake St. Louis were charged with a mixture of 75 per cent of oil gas and 25 per cent of acetylene, while two burned pure acetylene. A very marked increase in the power of the lights was noted and com- mented upon by mariners. Experiments in buoy lighting will be continued during the winter. I am not quite satisfied that the problem of adapting acetylene gas to lighthouses has yet been solved. It appears to me that the installation of independent plants at 46 MARINE AND FISHERIES j 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 each station is expensive and wasteful, and I think, probably that a solution of the problem will be found rather in the direction of supplying compressed acetylene to the several lighthouses than in producing the gas at the stations themselves. FOG ALARM MACHINERY. The type of fog-horn with which the Canadian stations are at present largely equipped i- practically out of date, but the more modern alarms are, as a rule, very complicated, and we have been looking for a type which will be simpler than anything now in use and which will cost less for installation and maintenance, relatively to its sound-producing capacity. The department has lately carried out a series of tests which tend to show that a new invention, called the diaphone, will meet the above conditions. At first little more than a tov, it has been developed by the manufactuier. under the direction of the department, to a point where it will compete successfully with any alarm now in existence. It is hoped that this .nstrument will be in practical operation in a very short time at the new station at Father point, where it will be tested against the Scotch type of siren, which gave the most satisfactory results at the exhaustive experiments recently carried out by the English Trinity House. The aim of the department has been to go carefully forward, avoiding the danger of making a large number of costly installations which might have to be superseded before long. The most important installation of the four made during the past year was that at Louisbourg, where a first order Scotch siren was put in operation in February, 1902. The siren and appurtenances were purchased in Scotland, but the engines, tanks, com- pressors and other auxiliaries necessary for the supply and storage of the compresse 1 ab- used in the operation of the machine, were made in Canada. The total cost of the installation was 812,036.13. At Fame Point an alarm of the Hamilton-Foster type was put in operation in October, 1902. In this sys'em the alarm is supplied with a number of horns pointing in certain definite directions, by which means the inventors claim that mariners can always determine their bearing from the alarm. This alarm has not been in operation a sufficiently long time to properly demonstrate its capabilities. The total cost was $10,324.57. At Cape Croker, on Georgian Bay, an electric alarm was established in July, 1902. This is the invention of a Canadian, and a similar alarm has been in use for some time in Victoria Harbour, B.C., where the city current is used. At Cape Croker the plant has failed to give satisfaction, the sound produced being comparatively feeble. It is expected that this will be improve 1 by changing some of the electric machinery, but it is probable that the usefulness of this type will be largely confined to the purpose of marking pier heads and slips at points where an electric current can be easily and cheaply obtained. The cost of the machinery here was 83,358.78. The fourth installation was at the middle ground in Pelee passage where a siren operated by steam was installed on October 1, 1902. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 47 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Several fog-alarm buildings are in course of construction ; all being designed with a view to their adaptation to new forms of apparatus should it appear desirable to make u change. Our experience as well as that of other countries tends to show that com- pressed air is a more successful medium than steam for operating alarms of the siren type. For this reason, and also because it is difficult to obtain fresh water at many of our fog alarm stations, oil engines are being installed in our modern fog alarms, in the place of steam boilers. PERSONAL INSPECTIONS. During the past year a great deal of ray time was again occupied in inspection work. The construction of a second lighthouse on a pier in the Traverse of St. Roch necessitated six trips to Quebec and the Traverse to inspect the progress of the work, to survey the site and to superintend the sinking of the pier. The taking over of aids to navigation from the Department of Railways and Canals involved three inspections on the River St. Lawrence, between Montreal and Kingston, receiving the equipment and organizing the service. Several visits were paid to the St. Lawrence ship channel, in connection with the extensive improvements being made in it this year. In June, 1902, I accompanied the Honourable Mr. Sutherland on an inspection of aids to navigation between Montreal and Chicoutimi, and in November accompanied the Honourable Mr. Prefontaine on a similar inspection between Montreal and Quebec. In June, a special inspection was made of Lake Superior and the sites of several new aids to navigation were located. In July an inspection of parts of the maritime provinces was made. On the steamer Brant I visited harbours on the east coast of New Brunswick, and found the buoyage, which is under contract in the several harbours, far from efficient. In August and September, British Columbia was visited. Most of our existing aids to navigation on the Pacific coast were inspected : sites were chosen for new aids to navigation ; three hydrographic surveys were made with the assistance of Capt. Walbran, and other hydrographic work done. Details of this work will be found in other parts of this report. In consequence of the great increase in buiiding operations, during the past season, it was impossible for me to do all the outside inspection work required, and inspections were consequently made at several times by the following members of my office staff : Me^rs. B. H. Fraser, U. P. Boucher, J. F. Fraser, E. C. Larose, H. E. Fosbery. W. H. Noble and A. Theriault. REMOVAL OF OBSTRUCTIONS. Very little work has been done during the past twelve months under this vote, and I think the amendment in the Act which prevents owners from shifting their responsi- bility after a wreck has occurred may be thanked for the small number of derelicts now allowed to disfigure our shores. 48 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, the total expenditure on this service 51,325.25. The following statement shows work done in this connection during the past twelve months so far as it has come under the official notice of this department :— Locality. ( )l»tructi jii.

Each steamer performed the ser- vice at intervals. A new steamer has been built for the Nova Scotia agency and will be employed in Nova Scotia, probably from the beginning of 1903. This steamer is specially equipped for raising and placing large automatic buoys. In some districts the harbour masters attend to the buoyage, in others the buoys are under the control of local harbour boards, but in the majority of cases a very large number of buoys are maintained under the contract system, the contractors undertaking to maintain the buoys under a strict specification for a bulk sum per annum. The con- tracts usually cover a period of three years. There are now about 200 contracts in force, some of which will terminate next spring. It is the purpose of the department, if possible, to employ some of the Dominion steamers in the buoy service more largely and this will diminish the number of con- tracts. If it is found impossible with the present number of steamers to maintain the buoy service, I should advocate improving the inspection and superintendence by ap- pointing some or all of the captains of government ships, including fishery protection vessels, superintendents of the buoy service in addition to their other duties. The office work in connection with the maintenance of the buoys, preparation of contracts, examination of accounts, inviting tenders for contracts and the work in con- nection with the construction of new buoys, is attended to by Mr. W. W. Stumbles. This involves an immense amount of detail. Appended inclosure B is a list of the buoys in the Dominion under departmental control. GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. The third annual report of the Geographic Board of Canada, with a list of all deci- sions reached up to the date of its issue, was published in July, 1902, as a supplement to the annual report of this department ; and the fourth annual report, containing only decisions reached after the issue of the third, was similarly issued in November, 1902. A few decisions, affecting name son the Admiralty charts, were announced in notices to Mariners. These were not important in themselves, but the existence of the board as an authority for fixing authoritative orthography and nomenclature is greatly appre- ciated. HYDROGRAPHIC WORK. The hydrographic survey of the Canadian shores of the great lakes has made good progress during the past season. Mr. Stewart, on the steamer Bayfield, began the survey of Lake Superior, taking up the work at Coppermine point, the northern limit of the survey of Whitefish bay, by the United States Corps of Engineers, and completed a thorough examination of the water off the shore as far north as Cape Gargantua. One very dangerous and hitherto unknown shoal was found lying 1| miles west of Leach island, with only fourteen feet water over it. The shoal off Corbay point was examined and described ; also a large uncharted bank lying south of Montreal island, and Mica shoal. Observations for the variation of the magnetic needle were made in October, at Gargantua harbour and Batchawana bay. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 51 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Mr. Stewart had no assistant during the se ison, and was seriously handicapped by being obliged to take all fixes alone. The boiler of the steamer Bayfield was partially repaired in the spring ; further repairs to the hull and machinery are necessary before she can be used for any service. In December, 1902, the steam tug Lord Stanley was purchased from Mr. Geo. T. Davie, of Levis, to replace the Bayfield, which is a very old boat to venture on the exposed waters of Lake Superior. On her way to the lakes the Lord Stanley met with an accident in Toronto, and the repairs involved prevented her use this season on Lake Superior. She was therefore lent to the Department of Public Works for ship channel work, and during the coming winter will be fitted at the Sorel yard for hydrographic surveying, and will be used by Mr. Stewart next year. Mr. F. Anderson, assisted by Mr. R. E. Tyrwhitt, continued the survey of Lake Winnipeg, begun by Mr. Stewart in 1901. He made good progress in the examination of the east shore of the lake, developed good channels into Berens and Big Black rivers, located and examined George, Little George and Sandy islands. The tug Frank Barton was chartered for the purpose between May 20 and October 16. Last winter two fair sheets of the survey of Lake Huron, between Southampton and Goderich, were prepared and sent to the hydrographer of the Admiralty for engraving. In June last, the Admiralty issued a new coast chart, on a scale of 8 inches to the mile, covering the survey between Cove and Chantry islands, Lake Huron. Advantage was taken of the appointment of Mr. J. F. Fraser, as engineer in charge of aids to navigation between Montreal and Kingston to have some hydrographic work attempted in his division, and during the summer a chart room and additional cabin accom- modation were added to the steam barge Scout to make her more convenient for hydro- graphic work. The absence of any suitable buoy plans necessitates the preparation of a set of plans of the whole river between Montreal and Kingston, in order that the buoys may be placed and checked by sextant angles. On Lake St. Louis several detached hydrographic surveys had already been made by the Department of Railways and Canals, and that department has a vote for the complete survey of the lake. In the meantime the triangulation of that lake has been completed by Mr. Fraser. This will enable the detached surveys, above alluded to, already made, to be connected and utilized in providing the required buoy plans of this lake. As opportunity offers, it is proposed to extend the triangulation westward, and, between Cornwall and Ogdensburg, to tie in with the United States triangulation of 1870-3. Special attention has been paid during the past year to the publication, in Notices to Mariners, of all information that reached my office respecting hydrography, and verv full sailing directions have been included in the description of aids to navigation. The following hydrographic notes, not elsewhere referred to in this report, were issued : AFFECTING THE ATLANTIC CO^ST AND ST. LAWRENCE.

Dawson, on the progress of this survey, shows a continuous advance in the tidal information obtained and published, both for the eastern coast of Canada and for the Pacific. It is attached to this report as Inclosure C, and is also issued in pamphlet form as a supplement to the annual report. An important step may be noted, as an aid to navigation on the St. Lawrence route. The tidal observations throughout the St. Lawrence in 1 900 make it evident that both tide and current in the open estuary below the Traverse could be better referred to Father point than to Quebec. The tidal record from Father Point is there- fore being submitted to an analysis which will enable tide tables to be calculated directly for that locality. Until now. these tide tables have been deduced from the Quebec tables by an elaborate method which was devised to save the expense of analysis at an additional sta'ion, but it has become apparent that a direct calculation will give more accurate results, and will enable the turn of the strong tidal currents of the St. Law- rence to be more correctly known ; as their relation to the time of the tide itself is already ascertained. In this leport, all the information yet obtained is summarized, regarding the tide and current in Northumberland strait ; and the laws which govern the movement of the current are given. From observations taken at Pictou island, the time at which the current turns, is found to vary with relation to the moon's declination ; which has proved to be the ruling element in this region. This is very confusing to the mariner, as the turn of the current is thus out of accord with the moon's phases, and has no fixed relation to the spring and neap tides. The ordinary navigator takes refuge in the conclusion that the currents are chiefly influenced by the wind. But their movement is in reality reduceable to astronomical laws, although these are complicated in their character. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 55 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Further observations of the current in this strait were obtained at Cape Traverse, from the movement of the ice, and from fishing boats which anchor in mid. strait. The relation between the turn of the current and the time of the tide is found to be most consistent when the principal tidal station at St. Paul island is taken for reference, rather than Pictou in the strait itself. On the Pacific coast, good progress has been made, both in the improvement of the tide tables through the analysis of further tidal records from the principal stations, and also in the establishment of additional tidal stations to extend the information available. A summary of the results obtained to date, is given in this report. In the tide tables which were first published for the year 1901, information is now given for Victoria and Esquimalt ; Vancouver, New Westminster, Xanaimo and Baynes sound ; as well as for the current in the First narrows, Burrard inlet. The stations for which the tide tables are primarily calculated, are Victoria, and Sand Heads in the Strait of Georgia ; and the results deduced from these are much better than can be obtained from comparisons with Port Townsend, as given in the tide tables of the United States Coast Survey. The reason for this is the difference in the character or type of the tide. - Further information is given regarding tide levels and datum planes in our harbours, which is of the first importance for harbour improvements, drainage works, ivc. This is one of the collateral ways in which this survey is of service to other departments. Five summer tidal stations were erected this season with the object of obtaining tidal data as a basis for the investigation of the currents at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy, and in the bays on the south coast of Newfoundland. Two more tide gauges were also placed on the open Pacific coast, at Barkley sound and at Port Simpson, arrangements for which were completed by the undersigned when in British Columbia. The tide tables have again been issued in three sets as explained in the last report, and the demand for them increases steadily. Considerable work has also been done in improving their accuracy, by the analysis of further tidal record. This will be of benefit to the tide tables in all future years, and it will also be of advantage to the regions which depend on the principal harbours as ports of reference. Two notices to mariners were issued relating to currents, one warning them against the strong downward current off the Gaspe coast, which is undoubtedly responsible for some casualties ; the other giving results of observations by H.M.S. Egeria in the approach to Juan de Fuca strait. The total expenditure on this survey during the fiscal year from June 30, 1901, to June 30, 1902, was 88,951.08, in which a supplementary estimate of $1,^00 is included, which was expended upon material for heavy repairs required at the permanent tidal stations. The whole respectfully submitted, WM. P. ANDERSON, December 9, 1902.

To the Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Sir, — I have che honour to submit the usual annual report of work done in the construction and maintenance of aids to navigation for the year ended November 30, 1902. Lighthouses, fog-alarms, buoys, beacons, and other aids to navigation throughout the Dominion of Canada are administered by the Department of Marine and Fisheries. The construction of new buildings and the more important repairs are under my direct supervision, the maintenance of existing stations is controlled by the several agents of the department, and the periodical inspection of the stations is made by inspectors resident in the different provinces, the agents in Princ3 Edward Island and British Columbia fulfilling the double duties. Much of the information contained herein is compiled from the annual reports of these officers.

River St. Lawrence 14-foot channel buoys. — The new 14-foot channel in the River St. Lawrence connecting the canals between Lachine and Prescott is marked by buoys which have been established at different times, principally by the Department of Railways and Canals of Canada in 1900 and 1901. These aids to navigation were, on the opening of navigation in 1902 taken over for maintenance by this Department, and both they, and the buoys previously maintained under separate contracts by us, Mere placed in charge of Mr. J. F. Fraser, of my staff, as district engineer. As the contracts lapse the buoys will be maintained by the Department, with an increase in size and efficiency. The service has already been systematized. Spar buoys average 24 feet in length, and are placed close to the edges of the channel in 16 to 18 feet water. Gas buoys are cylindrical, surmounted by slatwork cages, on top of which are the red gas lanterns, showing bright or white lights at an elevation of 9 feet above the water, which should be visible 4 miles. All red buoys will eventually carry conical cages and automatically occulted lights ; and black buoys, can shaped cages and fixed lights. The colours of all buoys conform to the international rules. The buoys are numbered between ?\Iontreal and Kingston in four sections, in accordance with the same rules ; those in Lake St. Louis, including the buoys below the Lachine rapids being lettered S ; in Lake St. Francis. F ; those from Cornwall to Prescott, FJ ; and the buoys from Prescott to Kingston, T- The numbers and letteis indicating districts are placed upon the larger buoys in white characters 12 inches high. We took over from the Department of Railways and Canals 115 spar buoys and 26 gas buoys, distributed as follows : 6 in Lake St. Louis, 12 in the Lake St. Francis stretch, and 8 above the Cornwall canal. Since the service was taken over we have made the following improvements : Soulanges Canal. — The buoys at the upper entrance of the Soulanges canal were rearranged, two black spar buoys marking lumps on the east side of the channel being removed when the lumps were dredged off, and a red spar buoy being placed. St Regis dyke. — -The establishment of range lights on St. Regis d}'ke resulted in the discontinuance of gas buoy No. 95 F, and spar buoy No. 97 F, and in changing the position of black gas buoy No. 99 F, as detailed in describing the new lights. Farran point. — On November 7, 1902, red gas buoy No. 38 U, belo-.v the lower entrance of Farran point canal, was permanently discontinued. Head of Farran point channel.- — At the same time, red spar buoy No. 40 U, marking the upper entrance to the channel between Farran point and Croil island, was replaced by a red gas buoy, showing a fixed white light. Vessels bound up light pass on the starboard side of this buoy, but must leave spar buoy No. 42 U on the starboard hand. Head of North channel. — About 10th November, 1902, red spar buoy No. 156 V, used to mark the northwest edge of the dredged cut at the upper end of North channel, during the progress of the work, being no longer required, was discontinued. Red gas buoy No. 154 U was moved from its previous location east of the end of the breakwater on the northwest side of North channel upper entrance, to a new oosition 75 feet due south of the south corner of the terminal crib. Point Erie. — This point was originally marked by a group of three spar buoys. In June, these were replaced by a swift current black can buoy, No. 161 U, a much more conspicuous and reliable mark. Macnair shoal spar buoy. — On April 7, 1902, a spar buoy, paint d in red and black horizontal stripes, and numbered 4, was placed by the United States lighthouse authorities in 15 feet of water, near the centre of Macnair shoal, a rocky ledge with i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 65 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 thirteen and seven-tenths feet water over it at extreme low water, found in 1901, about midway between Macnair island and the Canadian shore, below Brockville, abreast of Morristown, New York. Waverly shoal gas buoy. — About October 15, 1902, a gas buoy, painted red and black in horizontal stripes, and showing a white light during periods of ten seconds, separated by eclipses of ten seconds' duration, was established by the United States government in twenty feet of water, near the western end of Waverly shoal, eastern end of Lake Erie, in the approach to Buffalo harbour from the westward, replacing a can buoy previously maintained there by the same government, This buoy is probably on the Canadian side of the boundary line, but it is of use only to vessels bound to or from Buffalo. Middle ground gas buoy. — The maintenance of this buoy was discontinued, the middle ground being sufficiently marked by the new lighthouse, as well as by the three spar buoys established in 1901. Grubb reef gas buoy. — The gas buoy no longer required on the middle ground has been utilized to mark this danger, on the north side of Pelee passage. It was moored in 25 feet of water on May 16, 1902. The buoy is a cylindrical iron buoy, painted red, surmounted by a red can-shaped slatwork cage bearing a red lantern, from which an occulting white light is shown, elevated eight feet above the water. The light should be visible four miles from all points of approach. It is cut off automatically for a short time at intervals of about ten seconds. Limekiln crossing. — The Lake Carriers' Association have placed three red lights on floats moored near the spar buoys maintained by this deparment to mark the east edge of the Limekiln crossing cut. Sequin bank gas buoy. — This buoy was found overturned and badly dam early in November, 1902 : it was therefore found necessary to remove it for the remainder of the season. To its moorings a black spar buoy, surmounted by a white flag, was attached. We have had trouble every autumn with this buoy, in consequence of the extremely heavy sea in the locality. Rains dock gas buoy. — In June, 1902, a ^ras buoy, painted red with "Rains Dock No. 20 " in white, and showing a fixed red light daring periods of ten seconds, separated by eclipses of ten seconds' duration, was established by the United States iro\ ernment, in 22 feet of water, in place of ^he red spar buoy, on the easterly edge of the cut, and about midway between Johnson's point and Rains island shoal float lights, at the middle of the turn from the new cut into Dark Hole passage, River St. Mary. This is in Canadian waters, but marks the channel improved by the United States gov- ernment for their deep draught vessels. Lake of the Woods bell buoy. — A steel bell buoy provided by this Department, but placed and to be maiLtained by the Rat Portage and Keewatin lumber companies, was on the opening of navigation this spring moored on the end of the shoal off the sand hills at the mouth of Rainy river. The buoy was built by the St. John Iron Works. St. John and with its moorings cost 8^17.26 delivered. QUEBEC LIGHTHOUSE DIVISION. This district extends from the entrance of the Strait of Belle Isle to Montreal, a distance of over 1,200 miles, and includes aids to navigation in the Richelieu river and Lake Memphremagog, as well as in the River St. Lawrence, Saguenay river, Lake St. John, Chaleur bay, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Strait of Belle isle, north and west coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. This division is under the control of Mr. J. U. Gregory, agent of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, at Quebec, who is also shipping master, attends to the require- ments of the British Board of Trade in matters of shipwrecked and distressed seamen 21— i— 5 66 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 L.DWARD V!l., A. 1903 and casualties at sea, is receiver of wrecks, supervisor of wharfs, a fisheries officer for the province of Quebec, and superintendent of the signal service. The agent's staff consists of Mr. L. A. Blanchet, chief clerk and accountant, and deputy shipping master ; Mr. George D. U Tamil, lighthouse inspector; Mr. Alphonse Samel, clerk ; and Mr. P. J. O'Brien, storekeeper and wharfinger, with assistants as required. The workshops with a large stock of models of various kinds needed for the service are under Mr. Ernest Roy, master carpenter, and Mr. Xarcisse Dufour, master-ship- smith. The gas works are under Mr. G. Belanger. The steamers at the disposal of this agency during the past year were the char- tered steamer Contest which attended to gas and other buoys, as well as beacon service from Batiscan to Father point. This vessel has since been replaced by a new and power- ful steamer the Druid. The steamer Aberdeen supplied the lights in the river and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Strait of Belle isle, Anticosti, Magdalen islands and Ohaleur bay. The lights above Quebec were supplied by passenger steamer or by rail as proved most economical and convenient. The buoys between Platon and Montreal are under the supervision of Mr. U. P. Boucher, as engineer, who has the steamer Shamrock allotted to him for this service. There have been put in operation, between Quebec and Montreal, 12 new lights since my last annual report, which now brings the total number of aids to navigation in this division to 200 lights at 121 station?, 6 lightships, 3 of which are supplied with powerful steam fog whistles, one powerful first order siren blown by compressed air, 9 explosive bomb signal stations in connection with lights, 2 steam fog whistles and 9 steam fog horns ; 12 gas buoys, 4 of which are supplied with bells, 170 wooden and iron buoys and 59 beacons. NEW AIDS TO NAVIGATION. Point Echouerie. — A lighthouse, standing 75 feet inside the extremity of this point, was put in operation on October 15, 1902, and is a square wooden building, with sloping sides, painted white, surmounted by an octagonal iron lantern, painted red. It is 34 feet high from its base to the ventilator on the lantern, the light being fixed white dioptric, elevated 52 feet above high water mark, and visible 12 miles from all points of approach by water. This lighthouse was erected by the department by day's labour, under the supervision of Mr. P. A. Perrqa, at a cost of $1,667.73. Port Daniel. — A lighthouse was put in operation on October 15, 1902, on the outer end of the wharf at this port, and is a square wooden building with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, the whole painted white. It is 29 feet high from the top of the wharf to the ventilator on the lantern, the light being fixed white dioptric, elevated 35 feet above high water mark, and visible 1 1 miles from all points of approach by water. The lighthouse was erected by the department, under the super- vision of Mr. P. A. Perron, at a cost of 8794.47. Fume Point. — A Hamilton-Foster fog siren was put in operation on October 8, 1902. at this lightstition. The fog alarm building is a small wooden structure, painted white, with a flat roof, and stands on the edge of the cliff, 180 feet northwestwardly from the lighthouse. The siren is elevated 150 feet above high water mark. The siren will give blasts through four megaphones, pointed by compass respect- ively north, northeast, east and southeast, in the following succession : First, one short blast through the megaphone pointed north ; then two short blasts through the megaphone pointed northeast ; next one short and one long blast through the megaphone pointed east; and finally two short blasts and one long blast through the megaphone pointed southeast. The interval between the beginning of the signal through one megaphone and the beginning of that through the next is 9 seconds ; and the silent interval between the end of one series and the beginning of the next is about 40 seconds, the machinery completing a revolution in 70 seconds. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 67 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 It is claimed that a mariner can tell the direction in which the siren bears from him by the relative audibility of the several signals. If he hears the single blast loudest, or hears only a single short blast, the siren should be due south of him by compass ; similarly, if She two short blasts are the loud- est, the signal is southwest of him, and so on throughout the series. This system of directing the sound is considered by the department to be in the nature of an experi- ment, and must not be depended on absolutely until it has been proved, for indicating direction. Even if this fails in practice the siren can be utilized as an ordinary fo<* alarm. The fog siren machinery was supplied by the Hamilton-Foster fog signal company of New York, and cost $5,250. The building was erected by day's labour under the fore- manship of Mr. D. Mahon. Lower Traverse. — On July 29, 1902, a crib work pier was sunk in 23 feet at low water spring tides, on the extreme north point of the shoals of St. Roch, at the point previously marked by a black can buoy, and about 600 feet southwesterly from the station lately occupied by the Lower Traverse lightship, to form the foundation for a permanent lighthouse. The pier is rectangular, with two pointed sloping ends ; below low water mark it is of wood, and above water it is of concrete and steel. While construction is in progress, two temporary fixed white lights are being shown from anchor lens lanterns, hoisted on pol^s, at an elevation of 19 feet above the construction platform, or 29 feet above high water mark, one from its downstream end and one from its upstream end, both visible six miles from all points of approach. The contractors for this work are Messrs. Dussault A- Lemieux, of Levis, who con- structed the caisson in the basin at Quebec, floated it down to the site and successfully sank it there. The contract price for the construction of this pier is $80,500.00. In consequence of the extraordinary inclemency of the season, it was impossible for the contractors to complete theii- work, as they had intended doing. lie Verte. — A new light has been established on the extremity of the government wharf, consisting of a pole 16 feet high, with a small shed at its base ; and a Felt- hausen & Russel dioptric lantern was installed. The work was done under the supervision of the Quebec agency at a cost of $46.51. Point Nicholas. — The semaphore previously maintained at Cap Sante was removed to Point Nicholas to indicate to pilots the depth of water on St. Augustin bar, now the only point on the river not dredged to at least 27 J feet at low water. The least depth on St. Augustin bar, in the alignment of Pointe a Basile range lights, as indicated on the Public Works Department chart of the ship channel, is 23 feet, and the gauge is set to the same zero ; the semaphore will therefore indicate the depth on the bar. St. Antoine de Tilly. — On May 1, 1902, three range lights were established at this place. The front light of the upstream range is fixed white catoptric, elevated 36 feet above high water mark and is visible 6 miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range. The lighthouse is a square, wooden tower, with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, painted white, with the lantern roof red. Its height from the base to the vane on the lantern is 30 feet. The tower stands just above high water mark on the west side of the low flat part of St. Antoine point and is distant 2640 feet N. 56° W. from St. Antoine village church. The back light of the upstream range, which is also the front light of the down- stream range (indicating the traverse at the foot of Trembles shoal), is fixed white dioptric, elevated 68 feet above high water mark, and visible 9 miles from all points of approach by water. The lighthouse tower is a square building with sloping sides, consisting of an open steel framework painted brown, surmounted by a wooden lightroom pgflnted white and 21-i-5£ 68 MARIS!'. AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 topped with a square wooden lantern painted red. The height of the tower from its base to the vane on the lantern is 65 feet. It stands upon a eribwork pier 5 feet high, painted black, and is distant 826 feet N. 88° 30' E. from the front light tower. The back light of the downstream range is fixed white catoptric, elevated 203 feet above high water mark, and visible 16 miles from all points of approach by water. The tower is exactly the same as that of the front light of the downstream range, and stands on the crest of the hill behind the point, distant 825 feet S. 65° W. from the upstream rangp back light. These lighthouses were erected by day's labour, under the supervision of Mr. E. Roy, at a cost of 84,159.63, which includes $1,184 paid Messrs. Gould Shapley k Muir of Brantford for two galvanized steel frames. He Marie and lie Bouchard. — Two range light towers known as the He Bouchard range, have been erected in the continuation eastward of the new dredged channel between Vercheres point and Cap St. Michel. It is not proposed to put lights in operation in these towers at present, but the buildings are now available for use as day beacons. The front tower, standing on a high eribwork pier off the east extremity of He Marie, is a square wooden building with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern. The height of the tower, from the pier to the ventilator on the lantern, is 28 feet ; the focal plane of the light when established will be 39 feet above the river. The pier and tower are white, and the lantern roof red. The back tower, erected near the south east shore of He Bouchard, and distant 8200 feet N. 51° 15' E. from the front tower, is a square building with sloping sides, consist- ing of an open steel framework painted brown surmounted by a wooden watchroom painted white and topped by a square wooden lantern painted red. The height of the tower from its base to the ventilator on the lantern is 65 feet. The focal plane of the light when established will be 75 feet above the river. Vercheres traverse. — Two range lights were established on May 1, 1902, to indi- cate the axis of the ship channel in crossing from the straight cut that now extends between Contrecceur and He aux Prunes to the straight cut that extends between the point above Vercheres and Cap St. Michel curve. The front light, erected on the south shore of the river, 8,570 feet N. 57° 50v E. from Vercheres village church, is fixed white catoptric, elevated 36 feet above the sum- mer level of the river, visible eleven miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range, and is shown from a square wooden tower with sloping sides surmounted by a square wooden lantern, standing upon a eribwork pier. The pier and tower are white, and the lantern roof red ; the height of the tower from the pier to the ventilator on the lantern is 23 feet. The back light, distant 1,900 feet N. 70° E. from the front light, is fixed white catoptric, elevated 43 feet above the summer level of the river ; visible twelve miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range, and is shown from an octagonal wooden lantern built on the summit of the second old stone windmill below Vercheres. The windmill is whitewashed and the lantern is painted white with red roof. The height of the building from the ground to the ventilator on the lantern is 41 feet. Vercheres village. — Two range lights were established on May 1, 1902, in the pro- longation of the axis of the new ship channel dredged between He Bouchard and the south shore, which in one will lead from the intersection of their alignment with that of the Contrecceur range lights to the intersection of their alignment with that of the Vercheres traverse range lights. The front light is fixed white catoptric, elevated 44 feet above the summer level of the river: visible 12 miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range, and is shown from a square wooden lantern on a square wooden tower with sloping sides standing upon a eribwork pier, 380 feet S. 61° E. from the outer end of the village wharf. The pier and tower are white and the lantern roof red ; the height of the tower from the pier to trhe ventilator on the lantern is 31 feet. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 69 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The back light, distant 1,950 feet S. 54 30' W. from the front light and 1,100 feet S. 88° 50' W., from the village church, is fixed white catoptric, elevated 85 feet above the summer level of the river, visible 15 miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range, and is shown from a square tower with sloping sides, consisting of an open steel framework painted brown, surmounted by a wooden watch- room painted white, and topped by a square wooden lantern painted red. The height of the tower from its base to the ventilator on the lantern is 65 feet. lie Deslauriers range. — Two range light towers, known as He Deslauriers range, were put in operation on May 1, 1902. The front light, erected on the east shore of He Deslauriers, is fixed white catop- tric, elevated 37 feet above the summer level of the river, visible eleven miles from all points of approach in the channel, and is shown from a square wooden tower with slop- ing sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, standing upon a cribwork pier. The pier and tower are white and the lantern roof red. The height of the tower from the pier to the ventilator on the lantern is 19 feet. The back light, erected on the east shore of He Ste.Therese, and distant 9,430 feet, S. •~>1 15' W. from the fiont light, is fixed white catoptric, elevated 73 feet above the sum- mer level of the river, visible fourteen miles in, and over a small arc on each side of, the line of range, and is shown from a square tower, with sloping sides, consisting of an open steel framework, painted brown, surmounted by a wooden watchroom painted white, and topped by a square wooden lantern, painted red. The height of the tower from the ground to the ventilator on the lantern is 65 feet. These lights, as well as the three pairs of range light towers last described, were erected by day's labour, under the foremanship of E. Roy. All are on sites subject to overflow in the spring, and all are therefore built on concrete pier foundations, which increased the cost of construction. The expenditure in connection with the erection of the eight lighthouses was 89,859.15. He a VAigle. — Two range lighthouses have been erected at this station, which in one indicate the axis of the improved ship channel in Tarennes traverse. The alignment marked by the buildings is that of the axis of the widened channel, and is parallel to, but 75 feet north of, the axis of the old channel, marked by the two day beacons formerly maintained at this station. The front building stands on the north-west shore of the low island, 1,810 feet N. 21 W. from He Ste. Therese upper range back light, 4,340 feet S. 59° W. from He aux Vaches front light and 142 feet S. 46 W. from the old front day beacon, and consists of a pentagonal wooden lantern, painted white, standing on a rectangular whitewashed concrete pier, with a pointed nose, and sloping sides. It is 30 feet high from the ground to the top of the ventilator on the lantern. The back building stands on the south-east shore of the island, 1,543 feet S. 17° W. from the front one, and is a square wooden tower, with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, the whole painted white, standing on a rectangular white- washed concrete pier, with a pointed nose and sloping sides. It is 52 feet high from the ground to the ventilator on the lantern. Both lights are fixed white catoptric, visible two miles in the line of range : the front one elevated 30 feet, and the back one •"2 feet above the summer level of the river. The front range building is in the axis not only of Varennes traverse, but also in the axis of He aux \7aches traverse, and will ultimately serve as the front light of a range to lead up from the curve off the foot of He aux Vaches to Pointe aux Trembles curve. It is intended to remove the Pointe aux Trembles range lighthouses, which no longer mark the middle of the channel, utilizing the back range tower, a new oint. . .

A black spar buoy on shoal north-west of Burnt island. Janvrin shoal. — A steel conical buoy, painted red, was established on July 1, 1902, off Janvrin shoal, on the western side of Janvrin island, at the southern entrance to the Gut of Canso. The buoy is moored in about 12 fathoms of water, about f mile N. 76° W. from the extremity of Janvrin point, and is to be left on the starboard hand by vessels pro- ceeding northerly into the Gut of Canso, or for Lennox passage. It will be maintained each year during the season of navigation, being taken up for the winter. This buoy and the black can buoy on the opposite shore, off Eddy point, define the safe navigable water in this channel between Eddy and Janvrin points. Point Aconi. — An automatic whistling buoy, on the Courtenay principle, was estab- lished on July 1, 1902, in place of the can buoy previously maintained. It will be taken up every winter. The buoy is a conical buoy, painted black, with Point Aconi in white letters, and is surmounted by a 10-inch whistle which is sounded by the action of the waves. It is moored in about 15 fathoms water, about If miles N. 73° E. from the extremity of Point Aconi. Gabion Shoal. — The wooden spar buoy heretofore maintained off the north extre- mity of Gabion shoal has been replaced by a steel can bnoy painted black. " This buoy is maintained each year during the season of navigation, taken up at the close of navigation, about the end of December, and replaced again on the disappearance of ice from the coast in the spring. St. Paul island beacons. — The beacon which in one with the tidal gauge house on St. Paul island, led clear of Big Dick rock, has been taken down. The following new beacons have been erected on the island for the guidance of mariners calling at Atlantic cove with supplies and mails, as well as for small schooners and fishing vessels : Two beacons with white circular tops have been placed on the hill in the bight of the cove above the tidal gauge house, in line bearing S. 35° E Big Dick rock is given a wide berth by the range line of these beacons. Two diamond-shaped white beacons about 70 yards to the eastward of the Superin- tendent's residence. In line bearing N. 10° E. they clear the foul ground off the rocky point below the fog alarm, and indicate the best anchorage in 18 fathoms when their alignment intersects that of the two first-mentioned circular-topped beacons above the tidal gauge. NEW BRUNSWICK LIGHTHOUSE DIVISION. The New Brunswick division comprises all the lighthouses and other aids to navi- gation within the boundaries of the province both on the bay of Fundy and on the gulf of St. Lawrence coast. The large buoys maintained by the government on the Nova Scotia coast of the bay of Fundy are attended to by the steamer Lansdotvne, under the direction of the New Brunswick agent, but are otherwise under the control of the Nova Scotia agent. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 79 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 This division is under the charge of Mr. F. J. Harding, agent of the department at St. John, N.B. The lights and other aids to navigation were inspected by Mr. John Kelly, inspec- tor of lights. There are in this agency 126 lighthouses, 2 lightships and 12 steam fog-alarms under the charge of 99 lightkeepers and engineers. The method of supplying the lights varied in accordance with locations. The sup- plies for St. John river, Grand lake and Washademoak lake lights were shipped by direct steamers, and a separate bill of lading furnished for each station. The supplies for the Miramichi river lights were sent by the lightship Frederick Gerring and by regular line of steamers or schooners trading to the different points. The bay of Fundy lights were supplied by the steamer Lansdoicne, and those in Chaleur bay were supplied by rail. In all cases the supplies have been delivered in the most convenient and economical way. HEW AIDS TO NAVIGATION". Oak point. — The light shown from a lantern on a mast on Oak point, river St. John, has been replaced by a stronger light shown from an inclosed lighthouse tower, built 56 feet outside the site of the old light, on the shore on the east extremity of the point.

St. Andrews. — The upper part of a timberwork beacon, in the form of the fustrum of a square pyramid, which stood on the west entrance to this port, was carried away by a storm on January 12, 1902, and the remaining portion covers about one hour before high water. Until repairs are made, it is marked by a pole with a keg on top, set upright in the foundation of the block, and standing above high water mark. Navy island. — On July 12, 1902, the black spar buoy maintained off the southeast end of Navy island, was replaced by an iron can buoy, painted black. 21— i — 6 82 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The buoy is moored in 5 fathoms water, 3 cables south of the southeast end of Navy island. Bell boat. — The St. John Iron Works tender of $2,548 for a new bell boat was accepted, and the firm constructed the boat, which was placed in position off Partridge island by D. G. 8. Lansdoume. The new boat is giving every satisfaction. Jourimain island.— A red spar buoy is moored on the tail of Jourimain island shoal, to mark it during winter, in the position occupied by a conical buoy in the open season of navigation. Huckleberry gully. — A wooden can buoy, painted red, has been established in H fathoms water on the starboard side of the entrance to this gully, at a distance of about |- mile from shore. The black buoy about i mile east of Huckleberry island, marking the entrance to Huckleberry gully, is no longer maintained. Vin harbour. — The following two buoys have been established : A red spar buoy, moored in If fathoms water about § mile off Mills point. A red spar buoy, moored in If fathoms water about \ mile off Gardner point. Miramichi. — To bring the buoyage of Miramichi bay into conformity with the rules for buoyage recommended by the Washington Marine Conference of 1889, and adopted by Canada, the following red buoys marking the best channel across Horseshoe bar have been changed in shape from can to conical : No. 4. the lower red buoy on the bar, in 3 fathoms ; No. 8, in 3 fathoms ; No. 10, in 4 fathoms ; and No. 12, the upper red buoy on the bar, in 4 fathoms. Shippigan harbour. — In entering Shippigan harbour, red buoys are on the starboard hand in entering from either end. The change in the colouring of the buoys occurs at the Government wharf, which is situated in Shippigan harbour near the point marked on the charts ' Observation spot. ' Baf hurst harbour. — The outer end of the channel over the bar is marked by a red conical buoy, which is now moored to the eastward of the alignment of the range lights. Between this buoy and Caron point the best water is marked by a red cask buoy, a black cask buoy and a red conical buoy. Inside the point the east and west channels in the harbour are marked by cask buoys, and by casks set on clusters of piles, all coloured in conformity with the International regulations for buoyage. During the year 9 conical buoys 5 feet 6 inches in diameter made by I. Matheson & Co. Ltd.,°at a cost of 81,305, and 9 conical buoys 7 feet diameter constructed by the Robb Engineering Co., at a cost of 82,196, were furnished to the agency to increase the stock of spare buoys. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE DIVISION. This division which embraces the whole province, is under the charge of Mr. Arte- mas Lord, agent of the department at Charlottetown, who also acts as inspector of lights. The general routine of the office work has been performed by the agent, assisted by Mr. Laurence W. Watson, as clerk, and Mr. H. W. Mutch, as messenger. The work of building new light houses and superintending more extensive repairs at existing stations' has been done under Mr. M. Walsh, as foreman of works. Under the agent's instructions, Mr. Walsh is also warehouseman for the lighthouse stores in Charlotte- town. There are in the division 66 lights at 39 stations, and one fog-horn, under the charge of 4o keepers. There are three automatic whistling buoys and one bell-buoy. The majority of lights are situated on headlands and serve the general purposes of navi- gation, the remainder being harbour lights intended particularly for the benefit of fisher- i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGIXEER 83 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 men. There are thirty harbours buoyed under the system of three year contracts, and seven in which buoys are maintained by the department under the local harbour masters. All the stations on the island were inspected by the agent on the annual supply trip last summer, which was made on the D.G.S. Brant. NEW AIDS. Wood island harbour. — Range lights were established and put in operation on September 6,190*2 to lead into Wood island harbour. The front range tower stands on the breakwater on the south side of the east entrance to the harbour, 50 feet from its outer end. It is a square wooden building with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, the whole painted white. The height of the tower from its base to the top of the ventilator on the lantern is 19 feet. The light is fixed red, elevated 18 feet above high water mark, and is visible 6 miles from all points of approach by water. The illuminating apparatus is a pressed glass lens. The back range tower stands on the gravel beach, 700 feet X. 85 = W. from the front tower. It is a square wooden building with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, the whole painted white. The height of the tower is 33 feet from its base to the top of the ventilator on the lantern. The light is fixed red catoptric, elevated 33 feet above high water mark, and is visible 7 miles in the line of range. These buildings were erected by the agent by day labour, under the supervision of Mr. M. Walsh, and cost 8204.92. CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN AIDS. Murray harbour. — Arrangements have been made to reduce the height of the front range tower on Beach point 10 feet in November, 1902, in order that the back light may be more easily distinguished. The front tower will then be 20 feet high, and the light will be elevated 23 feet above high water mark. Miminegash. — The red sector shown from the front range lighthouse on the outer end of the south breakwater now shows over an arc of 78£° between the bearings of N. 79° E. and S. 22i° E. Between the southern edge of this sector and the land to the south westward of the lighthouse no light shows. The white sector now shows between the bearings of S. 22i° E. round through south to S. 41° W. over an arc of 63i°, which includes the line of range. The illuminating apparatus consists of a compressed glass lens reinforced by silvered reflectors. The illuminated sector of the back lights has been increased so that it now shows from N. 79° E. round through east and south to about S. 41° W., or until cut off by the high land to the northeastward of the lighthouse. This change was made to enable small vessels to find the entrance from the south- ward to anchorage behind Miminegash reef. Sea Cow head. — In April, 1902, a new cast iron 10£ foot lantern replaced the worn out and inferior lantern formerly in use. When the change was made the tower was put in thorough repair, reshingled and a new platform deck built. 21— i— 6| 84 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 .Minor Repairs Prince Edward Island. ! lear Pannure island.

Miminegash rerf. — The southern channel inside the reef is marked by three spar buoys, painted in black and white stripes, and moored as midchannel buoys. Wood island harbour. — To mark the best water in the new channel created by the extension of the south breakwater changing the direction of the outgoing current, a spar buoy, painted in black and white bands, has been placed 600 feet S. 793 E. from the front range lighthouse, in 9 feet water at low tide. A day beacon, painted white, consisting of a diamond-shaped topmark on a spar 20 feet high, has been established on the western end of the western island of the two "Wood islands, 2,500 feet N. 67i° W. from the main lighthouse. Spiihead. — The black can buoy maintained on the west side of the entrance to Charlottetown harbour has been moored in five fathoms water, If cables S. 51° E. from its former position. Panmure shoal. — The wooden can buoy off this shoal, locally known as Wheeler bar buo}7, has been replaced by a spar buoy painted black, The buoy is moored in 8 fathoms water, and bears N. 26° W., distant 12^ cables from Panmure head lighthouse. BRITISH COLUMBIA LIGHTHOUSE DIVISION. This division comprises all Canadian waters on the Pacific coast and the inland navigation systems of British Columbia, and is under the charge of Captain James Gaudin, agent of ihe department at Victoria, who also acts as inspector of lights. There are in this province thirty two light-stations, at six of which are steam fog- alarms, and at six others bells are rung by machinery. There are three beacon lights in Victoria harbour, and one similar light in Nanaimo harbour. The lights are in charge of thirty-four light keepers, some of whom supply assistance out of the salaries allowed. The lights are supplied by the Dominion steamer Quadra, Capt. J. T. Walbran, master, and the fog-alarm machinery at the several stations was periodically inspected by the engineers of the Quadra. NEW AIDS TO NAVIGATION. Xortli Vancouver. — A magnetic range has been established by the government of Canada on Mahon avenue, in the townsite of North Vancouver, to correct the compasses of vessels when lying in the harbour of Vancouver. r REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 85 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 The range consists of two posts, the northern or higher post 22 feet above the ground, and the southern or lower post 33 feec above the ground, each post painted red and white in alternate horizontal bands and surmounted by a triangle painted white with a black centre line. The posts are 1,000 feet apart and bear when in line N. 5° 37' E. For tier pass. — Range light buildings were put in operation on November 15, 1902. The front tower stands on Race point, 50 feet back from the water's edge, on bare rock, 6 feet above high water mark. The tower is a square, wooden building, surmounted by an octagonal wooden lan- tern, the whole painted white. The height of the building from its base to the ventilator on the lantern is 24 feet. The light is tixed white catoptric, elevated 23 feet above high water mark, and visible 9 miles in the line of range. The back range tower stands on the first point south westward from Race point, 125 feet back from the water's edge, on bare rock, 12 feet above high water mark, and bears S. 5° E. 1,200 feet from the front tower. The tower is a wooden building, square in plan, with sloping sides, surmounted by a square wooden lantern, the whole painted white. The height of the tower from its base to the ventilator on the lantern is 31 feet. The light is fixed white dioptric, elevated 36 feet above high water mark, and is visible 1 1 miles from all points of approach by water. These lighthouses were erected by day's labour under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Tubman. CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS AT EXISTING STATIONS. Brockton point. — A lighthouse with dwelling attached has been built S. 5° W. 85 feet distant from the place at which the light was previously shown. It is a wooden building, painted brown and yellow with red roof. The light is shown from a wooden lantern on the first floor in front of the building, The height of the building is 29 feet. As the building is conspicuous it was made somewhat ornate to suit its surround- ings. The light is fixed white dioptric, and shows from all points of approach, except over Burnaby shoal, which is covered by a red sector. It is elevated 42 feet above high water mark and should be visible 8 miles. The building was erected by Messrs Baynes & Horrie, of Vancouver. Their con- tract price was $1,199. The fog-bell tower at this station has been moved, and now stands at high water mark on the north extreme of the point, N. 8° E, distant 120 feet, from the new lighthouse. Walker rock. — The provisional stake light maintained on the beacon on this rock was replaced by a 31-day Wigham lamp, on December 11, 1900. The light is fixed white, elevated 15 feet above high water mark, and is visible 8 miles from all points of approach. The illuminating apparatus consists of a pressed glass lens. The light is shown from the summit of a small square wooden tower painted white, erected on the summit of the stone beacon. The tower is 7 feet high. 86 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., \. 1903 MINOR REPAIRS. Beale < larm&nah point Race rocks ing wood work to buildings.

Clayoquot sound. — Three buoys have been established in Clayoquot sound, as follows : — (a.) A steel can buoy, painted black, with T. C. (Templar channel) in white letters on it, in 24 feet water on the southeast side of the rock in Templar channel. From the buoy the north tangent of the 30-feet islet bears N. 61 = E., distant 4£ cables, and the southeast tangent of Village island, S. 20° E. (6.) The black platform buoy heretofore marking the extreme of the spit north- ward of Stubbs island has been moved to the northeastward into deeper water, and is now moored in 17 feet water. From the buoy the extreme of Stockham and Dawley's wharf on the island to the northward bears N. 9° W., distant 2 cables, and the south tangent of Meares island n. ir w. (c.) A black platform buoy in 21 feet water off the southwest shore of Meares island, .to mark the turn from Deception channel to Village channel. From the buoy the west tangent of Stubbs island bears S. 2° W. distant 8| cables, and the extreme of Stockham and Dawley's wharf, N. 69c E. Browning "passage. — The red spar buoy shown as marking the rock situated north- ward of the islets at the eastern end of Browning passage, is no longer maintained, the passage southward of the wooded islets, which is clear of danger, being the channel now used. The rock found this spring at the western end of this passage, was on September 10, 1902, marked by a spar buoy. The buoy is painted in red and black horizontal bands, and is moored in 2| fathoms between the two shoalest points of the rock. Entrance point. — A steel can buoy, painted red and black in horizontal bands, has been moored in 15 feet water on Kelp reef, Stuart channel, in place of the spar buoy heretofore marking that danger. GrappJer reef. — The steel can buoy marking this reef between Admiral and Kuper islands has been changed in colour from red to black. Sidney spit, — The wooden day beacon, which was blown down by a gale on October 27, 1900, has been re-erected in its former position. The beacon is painted white and black, the upper part white and the lower part black. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXGIXEER 87 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Sidney. — The two red spar buoys that formerly marked the outer edge of the shoal ground off Sidney, discontinued in 1901, have been re-established in their old positions. The more southerly buoy is on the southeastern shoulder of the shoal, south of the settlement. The more northerly buoy is on the northeastern shoulder of the same shoal. Victoria rock. — The rock in Tricomali channel on which the steamer Victoria struck was marked by affixing white crosses to two trees on the adjacent shore of Admiral island, which in one lead over it, and by mooring on it a steel can buoy painted in red and black bands. Porlier pass. — Two pairs of day beacons have been established on the north end of Galiano island, to mark the position of Romulus rock. The front beacon of the northern pair stands on the extremity of Virago point. It is 30 feet high, and 37 feet above high water mark. The back beacon of this pair stands on the east shore of the bay between Virago point and Race point, and is distant 610 feet N. 27° E. from the front beacon. It is 32 feet high, and 56 feet above high water mark. The front beacon of the more southerly pair stands on the extremity of the point next south of Virago point, and is distant from the front beacon of the northern pair 1,575 feet, S. 26' E. It is 30 feet high, and 53 feet above high water mark. The back beacon of this pair stands 204 feet S. 85° E. from the front one. It is 45 feet high, and 69 feet above high water mark. Romulus rock. — The black spar buoy established to mark this rock has disappeared, and, owing to the difficulty of keeping a buoy on this danger, will not be replaced. Sturgeon bank. — The bjack pile beacon marking the outer edge of this bank, which disappeared in October, 1900, has been re-erected in its former position ; and the can buoy temporarily marking the site, has been withdrawn. Parthia shoal. — The day marks erected on Brockton point in 1897, to clear Parthia shoal, First narrows, enti-ance to Vancouver harbour, have been removed, as the new lighthouse, built to replace the pole light on Brockton point, interrupted the range ; and it is considered that the spar buoy off the shoal on the south side of the narrows and the day marks on the south shore are sufficient guides to clear the shoal. Paynes sound. — Three spar buoys painted red with movable topmarks have been moored in Baynes sound to mark the prize firing base line used by the Royal Navy. The south easternmost buoy bears S. 65 W. 7§ cables from the highest tree in the clump on Sandy island; the middle buoy bears S. 85° W. 10J cables from this tree; and the northwestern buoy bears N. 85 W. 13| cables from the same tree. Wo.lbran rock beacon. — A triangular wooden beacon, 15 feet high and 10 feet on the base, painted white, has been erected on White point, Lama passage. The beacon in one with the extreme of Kaiete point, the southern point of entrance to Lama passage, N. 64 W., leads over Walbran rock. Wellington rock hading mark.. — White boards, nailed on a tree on the western shore of Ormidale harbour, serve as a leading mark for the rock in Seaforth channel on which the S.S. Wellington struck. This mark in one with the west tangent of Nevay island leads over the new danger. Regatta rock beacon. — A cone-shaped wooden beacon surmounted by a latticework ball, the whole painted white, and showing 25 feet above high water, has been erected on the southernmost Regatta rock, Seaforth channel. White stone beacon. — A square wooden beacon surmounted by a latticework drum, the whole painted white and showing 40 feet above high water, has been erected on White Stone, Seaforth channel. The whole respectfully submitted. WM. P. ANDERSON, General Superintendent of Lighthouses.

Ottawa, November 14, 1902. I have the honour to submit the following Report on the progress of this Survey. The principal tidal stations have been maintained in operation, and some progress has been made in the reduction of the results, as far means have permitted. The two prin- cipal tidal stations which command the two entrances to the Gulf of St. Lawrence have been put in thorough repair this season. The station at St. Paul Island in Cabot Strait, commands the main entrance by which the tides enter the Gulf from the ocean ; and its advantage as a port of reference for an important part of the Gulf area, has come out in a clearer light than ever, from the comparative observations secured in 1901. An important step in advance is being made, in the information supplied to aid navigation on the St. Lawrence route. A part of the tidal record from Father Point is being submitted to harmonic analysis, which will enable tide tables to be calculated directly for that locality. The advantage of this step has become apparent from the tidal observations of 1900 on the Lower St. Lawrence ; as they showed that both tide and current in the open estuary below the Traverse, could better be referred to Father Point than to Quebec. So far, the Father Point tide tables have been calculated indi- rectly from Quebec, by means of the double series of variable differences described in last Report. This elaborate method was devised to >ave the expense of analysis at an additional station. But it has now been ascertained that the complicated relation between the two places, is chiefly due to the river influence at the upper end of the run of the tide near Quebec : while the tide in the open estuary itself is very regular. Hence the tide tables calculated from the analysis, in conjunction with the other data which have been secured, will enable the turn of the strong tidal currents of the estuary to be readily and accurately known from the tide tables. On the Pacific coast, good progress has been made, both in the improvement of the tide tatyes through the analysis of further tidal record from the principal stations, and also in the establishment of additional tidal stations, to extend the information avail- able. In the present Report, all the information yet obtained is summarized, with regard to the tide and current in Northumberland Strait ; and its relation to Cabot Strait where the Gulf of St. Lawrence opens to the ocean. The levels of datum planes, heights of extreme tides, and the effects of wind disturbance, have also been carefully and fully worked out. These are of primary importance with relation to works of construction in the harbours of the strait, as well as for uniform reference levels in any future observa- tions. Repeated endeavors have been made to ascertain the relation between the various datum planes in use in our cities and towns. There are often two or three of these, out of accord with each other ; and further, there is usually uncertainty or actual discre- pancy between the various marks by which these planes are defined. In these circum- stances, the method which this Survey has adopted from the outset is to refer all the tide levels obtained, to some one satisfactory bench-mark in each port. Eventually, as the observations are continued, the value of Mean Sea Level, extreme tide levels, and other factors of importance, are determined with reference to this bench-mark. Such factors are of the highest value in city drainage works and harbour improvements. In certain rare instances, bench-marks have been established by the Admiralty, which define the low-water datum of the charts. These are always taken advantage of, where they exist. When the height of the tide is referred to this datum level, it shows the depth availal.»le in addition to the chart soundings. In the present Report, the result is given of the endeavour to correlate the various datum planes in use at Halifax : and to redetermine the low-water datum at Victoria, B.C. The relation between the tide levels and the Yarmouth town datum, is also given. Five summer tidal stations were erected this season with the object of obtaining tidal data as a basis for the investigation of the current at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy, and in the bays on the south coast of Newfoundland. 92 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 A considerable amount of tabulation from the tidal record already secured, has been done during the year, and Babmitted to analysis as the means to do so have per- mitted. This will extend the basis from which tin1 tide tables are calculated, which will be of permanent benefit in improving their accuracy in all future years. In the office work of this Survey, and in the erection of the summer tidal stations, I have had the assistance of Mr. R. Angus and Mr. S. C. Hayden. The total expenditure on this Survey during the fiscal year from June 30, 1901, to June 30, 190.', was $8,951.08 in which a supplementary estimate of $1,500 is included which was expended upon material for the heavy repairs at the permanent tidal stations- REDUCTION ANT) TABULATION OF TIDAL RECORD. In order to utilize the tidal record for the calculation of tide tables by the modern method of harmonic analysis, it is necessary that it should be tabulated in hourly ordin ates, which give the height of the tide at each hour throughout the year. With this object in view, it is of primary importance to secure an uninterrupted record, day and night, during the course of the year. Every endeavour in the way of foresight and vigilance, is uia'le to ensure this. The number of hourly ordinates throughout the cum se of a year is 8,760 ; and these must be reduced to a uniform datum and freed from time errors. The tabulation of this character which has been submitted to analy- sis during the twelve-months since last report, is as follows : I/ali/a.c — Three years, from December 14, 1896, to January 15, 1900, extending the basis from which these tides tables are calculated from one to four years of recent observations. This, together with four years of old observations, obtained between 1851 and 1861, now gives a total of eight years of observations for these tide tables ; and this benefits all the ports on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, that depend upon them. St. Paul Island. — Two years, from May 20, 1899, to May 31, 1901 ; which benefits the tide tables for the ports in Northumberland Strait, and the south-west side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which depend directly or indirectly on St. Paul Island. Father Point. — Three years from January 25, 1897, to February 25, 1900. This will be of great benefit to the St. Lawrence route ; as it has now been ascertained that the best results are secured by referring to this station, the tides and currents through- out the open estuary. In addition to the above, the following tidal record from the Pacific coast has been tabulated ready for analysis ; which will be made as soon as the finances of the Survey will admit of it. Sand Heads, Strait of Georgia. — Three additional years, from November i, 1898, to November 24, 1900; and from January 16, 1901, to January 27, 1902. This will serve to improve the accuracy of the tide tables at Vancouver and other ports through- out the Strait of Georgia, which are dependent upon this as a principal station. PUBLICATION OF TIDE TABLES, AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR ACCURACY. The publications of this Survey during the past year, continue to be reviewed in British and foreign periodicals as in former years, which is of service in making them widely known. The requests received for tide tables, and for other information, is con- tinually on the increase. Tide. Tables Jor British Columbia. — These comprise complete tide tables tor Vic- toria, B.C., and for Sand Heads in the Strait of Georgia, a locality centrally situated in that strait, and well suited as a reference station for the ports around it. Tidal differ- ences for Vancouver, New Westminster, Nanaimo and Baynes Sound are given with these tables ; as well as the turn of the current in First Narrows, Burrard Inlet. They have met with so much appreciation that the edition printed Ins been increased from 500 to 800 copies, to meet the demand for them. i HE PORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 93 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 It is a real service to mariners that accurate tide tables are available since these were first published in 11)01 : as the information for British Columbian waters given in the United States tide tables, was far from reliable. This was unavoidable in the cir- cumstances ; the tide itse'f being of a different type, as explained in a former report. Regarding the accuracy of the present tables, Mr. F. N. Denison, who is continuing the tidal observations at Victoria, writes : " Your Victoria tidal predictions are almost perfect, as proved by plotting them upon the actual records, and are greatly ad- mired and appreciated by those who have seen the comparison." The captain of the steamer Otter, of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Co., also writes at the end of January, 1902: "During 1901, I often used the tables for that year, and am greatly pleased to say that I found the times of high and low water given in the tables, won- derfully correct. I see the tables for 1902 are a distinct advance on the tables for 1901, as constants are given for Nanaimo, Vancouver and Baynes Sound, ports that I frequently visit ; and I find that in the short time I have used this year's tables, they are as exact for the above ports as the tables for 1901 were for Victoria and the Sand Heads." The tide tables have been reprinted one month at a time, by the Tirrn % and the Colonist of Victoria. The new information now issued with them, is mentioned further on in this report, where the further results now secured are explained. (J nchec, Father Point. Halifax and St. John, X.B. — In this set, the accuracy of the tide tables for Quebec has been further improved by extending the basis from which they are calculated for 1903, from four to six years of observation. This improvement is an important one, in view of the full information now issued with these, for the whole of the tidal portion of the St. Lawrence, from Three Rivers to Gaspe. The tide tables for Father Point, were published for the first time in 1902 ; and those for 1903 are also deduced from the Quebec tide tables by the method described in last report. Hereafter these tables will be calculated directly from the astronomical elements de- termined by analysis, as already explained. In this set of tables, tidal differences are also given for the whole of the Bay of Fundy ; and for the Atlantic coast of Xova Scotia. These tide tables were again supplied to the leading Canadian and British almanacs, willing to publish them in whole or in part. An addition of 800 copies, re- printed from Greenwood's Almanac, was found insufficient to meet the increased demand for them ; and accordingly for 1903, the quantity has been increased to 1,000. The various newspapers have also done something in the way of re-publishing these tables, or in giving the time of high water daily, much in the same way as in former years. St. Croix Bar. — Tide tables were again computed for this locality, which has been the shallowest point in the St. Lawrence above Quebec. These tables are published in company with the tide tables for Quebec, by the Montreal Harbour Commissioners, in the publication they prepare annually for the information of the St. Lawrence pilots. The new information regarding the tides and currents of the Lower St. Lawrence was also supplied in a condensed form for this publication. The deepening of the ship channel through this bar being now completed, the next shallowest point is at St. Augustin bar, for which tidal data are also computed. Charlottetown, Pictou and St. Paul Island. — These tide tables have the same char- acter as last year, and they again include the whole twelve months. A distinct improvement in the accuracy of these tables was obtained from the observations taken in Northumberland Strait during the season of 1901. The tidal relations of Charlotte- town to Pictou, and of Pictou to St. Paul Island, have thus been better determined ; and also the tabulation of the tidal record from St. Paul Island itself, which was submitted to analysis, is of direct benefit to this set of tables, as they are dependent upon it as a principal station. The time of high water for Charlottetown. taken from these tables, has been pub- lished a month at a time by the Patriot and the Examiner. The tide tables for Pictou have also been published in full by the Advocate one month at a time, accompanied by the tidal differences for the dependent places in Northumberland strait. 94 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Summerside, /'.E.I., and Yarmouth, N.S. — Tide tables for Summerside were cal- culated for the eight months from April to November and supplied to the Summerside Journal, in which they were published one month at a time, with due acknowledgement to this Survey. These tables are based upon the observations which were secured at that port itself in 1901. The tide tables for Yarmouth are computed from St. John, N. 1'... by means of the difference in time already determined by this Survey. They are published in the Yarmouth Times. Tadoussac, Cacouna and Little Metis. — Tide tables for the months of July, August, and September were again computed for these seaside resorts to meet the demand of the summer residents and tourists. These tide tables were prepared in manuscript only and posted at the leading hotels. The tide tables for the five places last mentioned were all prepared by some extra work, without incurring expense or the cost of printing. CABOT STRAIT. — TIDAL COMPARISON'S. Summary of Results for Cabot Strait, between Cape Breton and Newfoundland. — One of the principal tidal stations is at St. Paul Island in the middle of this strait ; and the endeavour was first made to obtain comparisons with Sydney harbour and Port aux Basques on the two sides. The tide at Sydney has so unusual a character, with large secondary undulations, which are often one-third of the height of the main tide, that it was quite unsuitable for comparison with St. Paul Island. After one complete month was secured at Sydney, the gauge was removed to Neil's Harbour, a point on the Atlantic side of Cape Breton Island, as near to its northern extremity as practicable. It was distant 30 miles from St. Paul Island to the westward ; while Port aux Basques, which is close to Cape Kay, at the south-west angle of Newfoundland, was distant 52 miles to the eastward. The clear width of the strait is 66 miles. St. Paul Island is the principal station to which the tides on the south-west side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and in the region of Northumberland strait are referred ; and the immediate object of the comparative observations on the two sides of Cabot strait, was to see whether a sufficiently constant relation could be established with St. Paul Island to enable either of these localities to be used to replace it as a reference station for the regions above referred to. The extreme exposure of St. Paul Island makes the gauge unusually liable to accident ; and once already it has been carried away, and twice afterwards it was partially wrecked by winter storms. The total length of tidal record obtained in 1901 from the self- registering gauges at these three localities, was as follows : Neil Harbour, east side of Cape Breton From Aug. 9, to Oct. 31. St. Paul Island ; permanent station, Cabot Strait, Continuous record. Port aux Basques, S. W. angle of Newfoundland, From July 9, to Oct. 31. The differences in the time of the tide in relation to St. Paul Island were fully worked out for these localities. The result, after excluding a few exceptional irregular- ities, is given below ; and it is at once evident that the variation in the difference of time is too great to enable either locality to be taken to replace St. Paul Island. It is remark- able to find so wide a variation in time on such short distances. The comparison with Pictou is also included for the same period, July 15 to October 31 ; and it is noteworthy that the range in the difference is little greater than for Port aux Basques. The difference with Pictou has also the advantage of being more nearly equal for high and low water, and consequently more amenable to reduction to law, by which the variation in the difference can be allowed for. The variation and the range are in absolute time throughout. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Comparisons with St. Paul Island. — Difference in the Time of the Tide. 95 Throughout the region which extends from Cabot Strait to Northumberland Strait, the leading variation in the difference of the time of the tide follows the moon's declina- tion ; and it is greatest in amount when the declination is at its maximum. This is well illustrated by the following comparisons. The first of these shows the unusual result that the two tides of the day at Port aux Basques are alternately earlier and later than at St. Paul Island when the moon's declination is high. In the second table, a direct comparison is made at a time of high declination for each of the three localities in Cabot Strait with Pictou itself ; which is the local port of reference for Northum- berland Strait.

This advantage must depend largely upon its being situ- ated in deep water ; the 100-fathom line being within three miles of the eastern shore of the island, on which the tide gauge is situated. It emphasises also the importance of chosing strategic points as principal stations, whatever the exposure and the difficul- ties in maintenance may be, in preference to sheltered harbours where the tide itself is more irregular, owing to shallower water or greater local interference. NORTHUMBERLAND STRAIT. TIME OF THE TIDE. In the season of 1896 a series of simultaneous observations in Northumberland Strait was obtained at the following localities, in the order of the progress of the tide : Souris, Pictou, Charlottetown, and Cape Tormentine. Some comparative observations were also obtained on the open Gulf coast on the north shore of Prince Edward Island and in Miramichi Bay. These observations when compared with the ' Establishments' for intermediate localities in Northumberland Strait, were sufficient to enable a table of ' Tidal Differences ' to be prepared, to accompany the tide tables for this region. The remaining localities on the open Gulf coast were referred directly to St. Paul Island. The results are given, together with the general method used in the calculation ot the tide tables for Northumberland Strait, in the Tidal Survey Report of December 15 1898, pages 7 to 10. In the season of 1901 further observations at Pictou, Charlottetown and Summer- side were obtained, to secure more extended data for the calculation of tide tables for these ports. This year was an appropriate one for the purpose in view, as the moon's declination has now its minimum range, whereas in 1896 the range was at its maxi- mum. The tides throughout this region vary chiefly in accordance with the moon's declination : and diurnal inequality is thus a ruling feature of the tide. The observa- tions at Pictou, the port of reference for this strait, extended from May 20th to Nov- ember loth without any interruption of consequence. These will enable a revised table to be prepared for the calculation of the tides at Pictou from the principal tidal station at St. Paul Island, for years when the moon's declination is low. The table in use up to the present time is given in the Tidal Survey Report for 1898, page 9. All the obser- vations are taken in Atlantic standard time and the differences are thus in absolute time throughout. Charlottetoivn. — The observations obtained here in 1896, were much interrupted by the chokage of the inlet to the gauge. At the ends of the wharfs which extend to the channel, the water is deep ; but these are constantly occupied by shipping. At their sides, the water shallows at once, and there is great difficulty in securing low-water ob- servations with a recording gauge. In 1901, the gauge was placed at Connolly's wharf, where sufficient depth was secured ; but there is more exposure and much inter- ference from the bridge operations now in progress. The object aimed at, is to obtain the difference of time with Pictou for the calculation of the Charlottetown tide tables ; and the results secured in the two seasons are as follows : — 1896. Observations from June 20th to November 24th. From 104 reliable differences, H. W. 51 m. later than at Pictou. „ 99 ii ,i L. W. 58 m. ,. u 1901. Observations from June 1st to November 15th. From 255 differences, High Water 31 m. later than at Pictou. H 259 ii Low Water 47 m. n n The divergence in the values is considerable ; and on so long an average, it is diffi- cult to account for. The individual differences also show a wide range in their varia- tion. In the case of high water for which the divergence is greatest, a further distinc- 21— i— 7 98 MM! INK AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 tion was accordingly made between spring and neap tides, by dividing the month into four quarters. The result is as follows ; the observations of both years being combined, and the value given for low water being the general average. Tide at Charlottetown later than at Pictou : — For High Water. — About the time of Spring-Tides, 42 m. later. About the time of Neap-Tides, 30m. later. For Low Water. — Throughout the month, 50in. later. Summerside. — The tide-curves here show the effect of tidal interference to a more marked extent than at Charlottetown. The curve at 16V water is frequently much flat- ened ; or in other words, the tide stands at nearly the same level for an hour or two before rising. A trial comparison of the difference in the time of the tide for a period of one month was made with both Pictou and St. Paul Island, the two reference stations in this region. It was thus ascertained that the variation with St. Paul Island is 40 per cent greater than with Pictou in the case of high water, and 14 per cent greater in the case cf low water. Accordingly, the difference in the time of the tide between Summerside and Pictou was worked out for the whole period of the observations, from June 12 to November 15, the average results being as follows : — From 236 differences, time of High Water 50m. later than at Pictou. From 231 " time of Low Water lh. 15m. " " " The extreme variation in the individual differences of time, amounts to 42 minutes more or less than these averages ; which illustrates the large irregularity that results from tidal interference in this strait, especially towards its west end ; as the dominant tide advances along the strait from the eastern end. The following table gives the resulting tidal differences for the strait, when revised to accord with the latest information obtained. The values for the intermediate places were found from the differences of " Establishment " taken in both directions from the localities at which the new observations have been secured.

There is no Bench-mark to record and fix the Low-water datum of the charts. The Bench-marks established by this Survey have enabled a uniform datum to be used for the tidal observations of 189G and 1901. By the instrumental levels taken last season, all the information extant with regard to extreme high and low tides, has been referred to these Bench-marks, which thus serve to fix permanently all the important tide levels ; and the datura adopted in 1901 for the Hillsborough bridge now under construction, has also been connected with them.

In this region the moon's declina- tion is the ruling astronomical factor ; as it gives rise to the diurnal inequality which is here so pronounced. In consequence, one of the two tides in the day had an unusual range in June. Conditions favourable to extreme tides did not recur till the autumn, the perigee falling near the full moon in October and November, with high declination. At St. Paul Island ths diurnal inequality is less pronounced ; and in consequence the spring tides are more nearly equal throughout the season. But only those at the corres- ponding dates are given for comparison with the tides in Northumberland strait. The elevations given for comparison are not referred to the same datum throughout ; there being as yet no continuous datum established in Canada. Each set of levels is therefore referred to its own local datum. 102 MAh'IXE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 St. Paul Island, N. S. Pictou, N.S. Data High Water. I late. Low Water. Date.

Effect of the Wind on the Height of the Tide in Northumberland Strait. — As a rule, the tide is highest with north-east wind, and lowest with south-west wind. This is in accordance with the general course of the tidal undulation in its progress along the north-west side of Cape Breton island, in approaching the eastern end of the strait : as these winds are in its favour or contrary to its direction. Weather Conditions at the time of the Exceptional High Waters in Northumberland Strait, above given. — At Pictou, Charlottetown and Summerside, meteorological observa- tions are taken regularly at 9, 14 and 21 o'clock. The wind record is thus for the day time only ; and the barometer readings may not give the actual maxima and minima which occur. The exceptional high water on the night of October 11-12, 1900, is the highest on record at Charlottetown and Summerside, P.E.I. At Charlottetown there was a gale before and after ; but it calmed down at about midnight and the tide rose suddenly, flooding the wharves. At Summerside the conditions were precisely similar. The weather conditions on the two sides of the strait at the time were as follows : — At Pictou ; barometer on October 9 at 14 o'clock Standard time, 30.15; falling steadily till the 11th at 21 o'clock when it reached its lowest, 29.15.

" III to I, " CURRENT IN NORTHUMBERLAND STRAIT. Observations of the turn of the current were taken in 1901 on the north side of Pictou island, from June 20 till September 15 ; a total of 164 observations being secured. These were compared with the simultaneous tidal records at Pictou, which has proved the best port of reference for Northumberland strait ; and with the tide at St. Paul island, the principal tidal station for this region. In these comparisons between the time of the turn of the current in the strait and the time of the tide, it was found that the variition in the difference of time was somewhat greater with Pictou than with St. Paul island. It will therefore be better eventually to refer the current directly to the tide at St. Paul island ; as the tide tables for Pictou are deduced from that station, and the ultimate reference is to St. Paul island in either case. This will be the best mode of procedure when sufficiently extended observations have been secured to enable a current table to be computed for this strait ; but for our present purpose, to indicate the laws which govern the current, we may make the reference to Pictou, the nearer station. The variation in the difference of time between the turn of tie current and the tide is large ; as the turn may take place as much as two hours before high water or after low water. The greater part of the variation follows the change in the moon's declination ; as this has been found from the first to be the ruling element in this region. This is very confusing to the mariner, as the turn of the current in relation to the tide is out of accord with the moon's phases, and has thus no fixed relation to the spring and neap tides. The greatest apparent irregularity is when the moon's declina- tion is at its maximum ; and this occurs sometimes at the spring tides and sometimes at the neaps. The ordinary navigator takes refuge in the conclusion that the currents are chiefly influenced by the wind. In the case of a tide which is ruled by declination, the chief variation is of the nature of a diurnal inequality. To arrive at correct conclusions, it is therefore important to have observations both day and night. The shore observations which were the only ones that could be taken in the circumstances, could only be obtained in the day time ; but to make up for this, a careful analysis of the results was made, on which we will endeavour to base, as concisely as possible, a statement of the laws governing the current in this strait. These laws are well established by the observations ; but the amounts of the time-intervals between current and tide are subject to revision, as the length of these observations was not sufficient to eliminate irregularities due to weather conditions. 104 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TURN OF THE CURRENT IN NORTHUMBERLAND STRAIT, AND THE TIME OF HIGH AND LOW WATER. (1.) The time-interval between the turn of the current and the time of the tide, is found to vary with the moon's declination ; and the leading variations in this time- interval may he classified as follows : — For the turn of the current when the tide is high : After an upper transit of the moon at its maximum north declination, or after a lower transit at maximum south declination, the turn occurs at lh 44m before high water at Pictou. For the turn of the current when the tide is low : After a lower transit at maximum north declination or an upper transit at maximum south declination, the current turns at P 52m after low water at Pictou. For the turn of the current at a time of maximum declination which comes after the opposite transits of the moon to those above indicated, the interval is as follows : — For the turn when the tide is high, 14ra before H. W. at Pictou. n ii ii * ii H low 18m bf-fore L W. at Pictou. Hence for consecutive tides, there is an alternation in the time-interval, which is of the saulfc character as the diurnal inequality in the tide itself. From the amounts above given, this alternation in the time interval between the turn of the current and the time of the tide, has the following maximum values : — At consecutive high waters, 1" 30m. At consecutive low waters, 2h 10™. (2.) When the moon is near the equator, the turn of the current on the average, is nearly simultaneous with high and low water at Pictou. This average includes both the spring and neap tides. (3.) Again, when the spring tides only are considered, and an average is taken which is long enough to eliminate the variation clue to declination, the turn of the current is within 20 minutes of the time of high or low water at Pictou. The variation with the moon's phases thus appears to be small in comparison with the declination variation, and such irregularities in the turn of the current as may be due to wind disturbance. The results, at the time of the moon's maximum declination, may be put in a tabular form as shown below. The low tide is the first to occur after the moon's transit.

These observations have not yet been worked out fully ; but the turn of the current here also, can best be referred to St. Paul Island. PACIFIC COAST TIDES. — SUMMARY OF RESULTS TO DATE. Thi new information which has now been reduced to practical shape may be sum- marized as follows : — . (1.) A com pari on between the tide at Victoria and Esquimalt during six months in 1900, from simultaneous records obtained at the two places. (2.) A similar compari- son between New Westminster and Sand Heads during four months at the four quarters of the year. (3.) Six months simultaneous comparison of the tide at Vancouver and Sand Heads in 1901, by which the time and the range of the tide at Vancouver becomes known from the tide tables for Sand Heads. (4.) Six months observations at Baynes Sound near the north-east end of the Strait of Georgia, compared with the simultaneous record at Sand Heads. (5.) An endeavour to recover the original datum at Victoria, or the low water level to which the soundings are referred on the chart of that harbour. (6.) The turn of the current in First Narrows, Burrard inlet, from six months observations taken in 1901 and compared with simultaneous tidal record. (7.) The current in Seymour narrows from observations taken by the U. S. Coast Survey in 1*97, compared with the tide at Sand Heads. All the tidal observations above indicated, were obtained by means of self-register- ing tide gauges. It may be noted that on the Pacific coast, there is not only a large diurnal inequality but also an annual variation. Hence to make satisfactory compari- sons, it is necessary either to have six months of continuous observation at the two localities, or to take four months at the four quarters of the year. The stations for which tide tables are calculated are Victoria, in Fuca strait, and Sand Heads in the Strait of Georgia ; and these are better situated for purposes of comparison and give much better results, than can be obtained from comparisons with the United States tidal station at Port Townsend, on which the information for British Columbia given in their tide tables, is based. The reason for this is the different character or type of the tide at these tidal stations, as already explained in the Report of December, 1900, page 7. The results of the above observations and investigations have now been embodied in the annual tide tables for British Columbia, which were first published for the year 1901. All the results are in Pacific Standard time, and the differences are thus in absolute time. Esquimalt. — Although this port is only 4 miles distant from Victoria, there is a considerable variation in the time of the tide between the two places. The observations extend over six months from May to October in 1900, and the resulting averages are given below. It will be noted also that the time of the tide is in reality later at Esquimalt than at Victoria, while in the United States tide tables both high and low water were given as earlier up to 1900 ; and the time of low water is still given as earlier. From 223 differences, H. W. at Esquimalt is 14m. later than at Victoria. " 246 " L. W. " 17ra. New Westminster. — A comparison with Sand Heads has been made during four months at the four quarters of the year; namely, December, 1899, and March, June and September, 1900. The time of high water at New Westminster is 40 minutes later than at Sand Heads, on the average. During th >■ freshets in the early summer, when the water in the river is high, the time of high water is about half an hour later still. The variation in the time of low water is very great. A general average value, based upon the lower low waters, shows that low water usually occurs at New West- minster 2 h. 30 m. after low water at Sand Heads. The higher low waters occur only half an hour to one and a-half hours after low water at Sand Heads. This uncertainty is of less importance, however, as these low waters are little felt at New Westminster. 106 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 Bayjies Sound. — The observations were taken at the Union wharf by the officers of H.M.S. JSgt-ria, and they kindly handed over the original records to the Re&idenl Engineer of Public Works at New Westminster, from whom they were obtained for this Survey. This record extends in all from May, 1898, to June, 1899, and from November, 1899, to June, 1900. Parts of this record were complicated by troublesome time errors or were too much broken by interruptions to be serviceable. A continuous period of six months was selected as the most reliable for comparison with the simultaneous record at Sand Heads. This period extended from December 1,- 1898, to May 31, 1899, with an interruption in January, which was supplied from a corresponding period in the following year. This afforded a time comparison between 325 corresponding tides at the two places. The result is important, as it affords definite information as to the run of the tide throughout the length of the Strait of Georgia almost as far north as the southern tide runs, before meeting the contrary tide from the other direction. The difference in the time of the tide is very little ; which may be accounted for by the great depth of the water, about 100 fathoms continuously, which accelerates the tidal undulation. There is also an evident variation with the season of the year, which shows the need of taking a period of a half-year to obtain a correct general average.

Time of the Tide at Vancouver. — The comparisons between corresponding tides al Vancouver and Sand Heads have now been extended to a period of nearly six months from observations secured in 1901 : and the result was worked out promptly for publi- cation this year in the tide tables. The actual periods of the simultaneous comparisons are, June 14 to August 1-1, and October 12 to December 31. The difference in the time of the tide when reduced to monthly averages, is as follows : — Time of Tide at Vancouver, compared with Sand Heads. (Monthly averages.) July. Aug. Oct. Nov.

Range of the Tide at Vancouver.— To find the relation of the ranges at Vancouver and Sand Heads, a comparison was made for two months, June 14 to August 14, 1901. i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 107 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 It was found that the range at Vancouver was greater in proportion when the range itself was less, and vice versa. The point of equ ility corresponds to a range of 8^ feet at Sand Heads. The rule given below is based upon average values. To find the range of the tide at Vancouver, from the range at Sand Heads which is shown in the tide tables : — (1.) When the range at Sand Heads is large (more than 8|- feet), deduct 5 per cent. (2.) When the range at Sand Heads is small (less than 8£ feet), add 5 per cent. Current in First Narroivs, Eurrard Inlet. — Observations at the Narrows were obtained during six months from April to September, in 1901 ; and instead of comparing these with Vancouver, a direct comparison was made with the tide as observed simul- taneously at Sand Heads. In this way a difference is obtained by which the time of slack water in the Narrows may be found at once from the tide tables published for Sand Heads. There is remarkably little variation in the monthly averages, considering that the time of slack water is necessarily much less definite than the time of high water. The chief irregularity in the difference, is in the case of the small tides of little range when the movement of the current is slow, and the true moment of slack water is itself uncertain. The average of 181 observations at high water and 205 at low water gives the following result : — Slack at High Water occurs 54m. after H. W. at Sand Heads. Slack at Low Water occurs 50m. after L.W. at Sand Heads. Current in Seymour Narroivs. — The observations obtained by the U. S. Coast Survey in 1897, were compared with the simultaneous observations of the tide at Sand Heads, in the hope of establishing a reasonably constant difference in time between them. The variation in time proved to be very wide, however, amounting occasionally to one and half hours, earlier or later than the average value. Also, this variation appears chiefly to follow the change in the moon's declination, which throws it out of accord with the spring and neap tides. The most marked feature when the tide is governed by declination, is the diurnal inequality ; and as these observations were taken in the day time only, they were not sufficiently continuous or extended to establish a law by which this large variation could be taken into account. Victoria. Datum plane of reference. — It is highly desirable in tidal observations, that the height of the tide should be referred to the original Low-water datum used for the soundings on the chart. When this is the case, the navigator has only to add the height of the tide to the soundings, to know the available depth of water. The primary importance of establishing a Bench-mark to indicate the Low-water datum of the sound- ings i* rarely recognized, however. The records of such a Bench mark at Victoria, were lost in the fire at New West- minister, when the Public Works office was destroyed. It is always a matter of great difficulty to re-establish the low-water datum when it is lost ; and it is quite evident that all questions of depth, alteration of shoals, grounding of vessels, ril 1896 to April 1897. . . 5'7"> Harmonic Tide Plane ; at a distance below Mean Sea Level given by the sum of the harmonic constants Ms Sa + Kj + O 089 Lower Low Water ; including in addition to the above, the remaining harmonic constants which represent the diurnal inequality 006 The last elevation given, corresponds closely with the datum of the tide tables. The only elements in the tide which carry it below this level, are the influence of the moon's perigee when it coincides with the above extremes, and the annual variation in the tide. This shows that the datum plane of the tide tables is as low as it can be put with any reason, and the probability seems to be that this is fully as low as the low-water datum of the chart soundings. This is also corroborated by the results deducible from the special soundings above referred to. It is the practice of the Admiralty also, where there is a pronounced diurnal inequality, to take the lower low water as the reference level. It therefore appears probable that the plane of reference for the height of the tide as used in the tide tables, corresponds with the original low-water datum of the charts, as nearly as can now be ascertained. Further observations. — The observations at Vancouver, B.C., were resumed on March 1, to secure better tidal data for that port. Also, on the occasion of the visit of the Chief Engineer to that coast in July, he made arrangement with the officers of the Meteorological Service for the erection of two gauges to obtain records of the tide of the open Pacific. One of these was placed at Bamfield creek, in Barkley Sound, on the west side of Vancouver Island ; at a sufficient distance from the entrance to Fuca Strait to be out of the influence of its currents. The other gauge was placed at Port Simpson, B.C., which is open to the Pacific in both directions through Hecate Strait and Dixon Entrance. The recording instruments used at these stations are of the Richard type ; a scale adapted to the range of the tide being obtained by a suitable alteration in the wheel-work. The principal tidal station in the Strait of Georgia, situated at Sand Heads, has failed to record low water since June; on account of an alteration in the sand bars which now bank in the water at low tide. The neighboring tidal station at Garry Point will meantime be utilized by means of a double reference, in making comparisons with other harbours in the strait. Mr. G. A. Keefer, Resident Engineer of the Public Works department, will have the gauge at Sand Heads moved further out, where the water will have unimpeded access to it. Previous to the time of the above interruption, the length of tidal record which has been submitted to harmonic analysis, or tabulated in readiness for this analysis, amounts in all to five complete years. THE PRINCIPAL TIDAL STATIONS. The seven principal tidal stations in Eastern Canada have been maintained in operation throughout the year. At Quebec, Father Point, Belle Isle strait, and St. John, N.B., the tidal record secured has been continuous. At two of the stations only, serious interruption occurred. At Halifax there was a loss of several months on account of change of observers, before a satisfactory arrangement could be made. Also, at St. Paul island the trouble continued from the threatened choking of the inlet to the tide pipes, referred to in the last report ; and finally in an exceptionally severe gale on November 25, 1901, the tide gauge was partially wreck, d ; the crib-work being carried away, and the iron cylinder displ iced. It was braced up temporarily, however, and further record was secured until January 20 following, when the gauge ceased to work. At Yarmouth, N.S., the loss of record last winter extended from January 30 till February 26. There is a similar loss there each year, as this gauge is not heated. The tidal observat;ons secured last year at Sydney, Neil's Harbour and Port aux Basques, on the two sides of Cabot strait, showed that St. Paul island itself was much the most satisfactory station from which to deduce the tides in Northumberland strait i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 109 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 and the south-west side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence On this account it was deemed advisable to make sufficient expenditure upon it, to put it in thorough condition for the future. The crib-work was rebuilt of hardwood and the irregular angles between it and the rock were filled with cement to hold it in position. The iron cylinder was partially renewed. The difficulty with the chokage of the tide pipes had been largely due to material falling from the cliff above ; a friable micaceous rock which is «round up rapidly into sand. The trouble was ultimately overcome by carrying the inlet of the tide pipes in the opposite direction, by brass piping, into a narrow gully which is always kept clean by the scour of the waves. Careful instructions were drawn up, and all the necessary fittings were designed or p'rocured for these repairs ; which were carried out during July by Captain Douglas, R. X. R., with the co-operation of Mr. S. C. Campbell, the superintendent of the island. The dipleidoscope which furnishes correct time, was carefully adjusted to the meridian : and the plane of reference for the height of the tide was re-established by instrumental levels from the Bench marks already placed for the purpose. The work was inspected by myself at the beginning of August, when the final adjustments were made. At Forteau bay in Belle Isle strait the tide gauge required considerable improve- ment. A sheathing of hardwood, four inches thick, was placed on the two most exposed sides of the crib-work and secured by heavy angle-irons at the corners. The iron cylinder had settled over to an inclination of one in twelve from the vertical ; and in straightening it up, it was necessary to alter the positions of both gauges inside the tide house, and to refit the sight-gauge. Every thing was put in thorough repair and the various instruments were also adjusted, as at St. Paul island. Types of Sight, Gauge. — In tne sight-gauge at Forteau bay, wooden rods are used for the connection between the graduated staff and the float. These rods are an inch in diameter, and are made of basswood for lightness. Their length is seven feet, and they are varnished to prevent them from absorbing moisture, as this would increase their weight and depress the float. The total length of the sight-gauge was carefully set at 16.00 feet in September. 1900 ; and in August, 1902, its length was found by accurate measurement to be 15.99 which proves this type of sight-gauge to be perfectly reliable. It is the most satisfactory arrangement when the distance between the staff and float is not too great to preclude its use. Where this distance is greater, as at St. Paul island, where it amounts to twenty-four feet, nickel wire made into long links has proved to be the most satisfactory connection. These results are mentioned because of the great difficulty in finding any material for this connection, which would withstand sea-water and maintain its length unaffected by the heating lamps in winter. HELD WORK IN THE SEASON OF 1902. In arranging the work of the season the first consideration had to be given to the principal stations ; as St. Paul island was partially wrecked and required reconstruc- tion : the gauge in Belle Isle strait was not in a satisfactory condition ; and there were difficulties at Halifax and St. John which demanded attention. Careful preparation was needed for this work, especially for the isolated places ; as most of the fittings and iron-work had to be specially made. Also, with a view to the reconstruction of the tide-gauge at Father Point when the new wharf there is completed, two lengths of old boiler were secured for the tide column and stored there in readiness. The gauges at St. John and Halifax were visited in May, and the difficulties adjusted or noted for further investigation. From June 20 to July 23 the four sum- mer tidal stations at the southern end of Nova Scotia, between Shelburne and Yar- mouth, were erected and the observations commenced. My assistant Mr. S. C. Hayden, was then left in charge of these, with headquarters at Clarke harbour ; and in August and September the tidal stations at St. Paul island, Trepassey bay at the eastern end of Newfoundland, and in Belle Isle strait, were visited and put in order as explained above ; and on the way, the instrumental levels required were taken at Yarmouth, Digby and Halifax. Clarke harbour was again reached on September 27 after making a round of 2,750 miles. Notes and sketches were made of the wharfs in the harbours around the Newfoundland coast, which will be of value for future reference. 110 MARINE AND FISHERIES i 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 SECONDARY TIDAL STATIONS IN SOUTHERN NOVA SCOTIA. The object of the stations established this year on the Nova Scotia coast was to secure a better connection between the Atlantic tides and the Bay of Fundy. On a length of 60 miles of coast at the southern end of Nova Scotia, the tide increases from its oceanic range of 7 feet at Shelburne or Negro harbour, to 16 feet at Yarmouth at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy. It has already been ascertained by the observa- tions of 1898, that the tides from Yarmouth upward throughout this bay, can best be referred to St. John, N.B.; and a further object of the present observations was to ascertain the dividing line between places referable to the principal tidal stations in the two directions, St. John, N.B., and Halifax. The tidal undulation in the North Atlantic strikes squarely upon the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, there being little difference in the time of its arrival at any of the harbours between Cape Sable and Scatari, except where delayed locally in running up deep bays. The height of the tide also, is nearly the same throughout this distance, and this whole coast can therefore be correctly referred to Halifax. The points selected after careful consideration were Shelburne, Clarke harbour, Barrington passage and Pubnico bay. Shelburne is sufficiently far to the eastward of Cape Sable to be beyond the reach of any influence of the Bay of Fundy and thus to give the unaffected Atlantic tide. The observations there will also furnish a check on the time at the intermediate ports from there to Halifax. Clarke harbour is practi- cally the same as Cape Sable and the nearest point to that cape at which shelter can be secured. It thus gives the tide at the extreme outlying angle at the southern end of Nova Scotia. At Pubnico bay, which is only 18 miles north-westward, the tide already has the same characteristics as in the Bay of Fundy. Lastly, Barrington passage was selected to afford an intermediate point in the progress of the tide, at about the middle of the time-interval between Shelburne and Clarke harbour. Another tide gauge was placed at Trepassey Bay, within 16 miles of Cape Race, the extreme south-eastern angle of Newfoundland. It is a locality difficult to reach, as with nine days travel it was only possible to obtain two days at the locality itself. The object of this station is to secure tidal data with reference to the currents in the bays on the south coast of Newfoundland. A list of the stations established, with the length of record obtained, is given below : — Shelburne, N.S. — Gauge placed on the north side of the steamboat wharf. The wharf is built of piles, to which the gauge column is braced. Tidal record from July 7 till October 10. Observer, J. C. Morrison, harbour master.

These stations were all equipped with self-registering instruments of the Richard type. The tide columns were built of timber, with a clear area of 13 by 10 inches in- side. The total length of the columns varied from 18 to 25 feet. The installation of i REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER HI SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 the gauges was similar to that described in the Report of December 1898, page 16, to which reference may be made. Data for time and height. — It was not anticipated that there would be any diffi- culty in obtaining correct time at these localities : as they are all telegraph or telej hone stations. But at Lower East Pubnico the telegraph office was closed : and the long- distance telephone elsewhere was not found satisfactory for the purpose. The only point where the time could be obtained correctly was at Barrington Passage, which is in reality the best centre of communication in the whole of this region. At the three other localities, chronometers were used, which were obtained from St. John, X.B . as soon as the necessity for them became evident. The observers were supplied with tables of correction for these chronometers, based upon their rates. The rate was also checked during the season, and at its close, by time comparisons. The time was thus kept cor- rect to the nearest minute, which is as close as tidal observations can be made. It was not deemed necessary to establish Bench-marks at any of these localities except Clarke harbour. At Shelburne and Pubnico, the wharves are of piling and are not liable to settlement ; and the zero of the tide scale is fixed with reference to the cap of these wharves, so that it can be placed at the same elevation again should observations be resumed. The tide column at Trepassey, Newfoundland, stands on solid rock, and can be replaced without alteration in level if required again. At Clarke harbour the Bench-mark is an iron bolt drilled into the rock at 14£ feet from the north-east corner of Swim's warehouse, which is the most northerly of a set of buildings extending to the Government wharf. The level of the zero of the tide scales at the various localities is defined as follows : — Shelburne, N.S Zero of tide scale 14.12 feet below cap of wharf. Barrington Passage. . .

Repeated endeavours have been made to ascertain the relation at Halifax between the Admiralty datum, the Royal Engineers' datum, and the City datum, none of which accord with each other. In explaining these relations care will be taken to distinguish what is reliable from what is uncertain. The most important of these from a marine point of view, is the Admiralty Low Water datum, to which the soundings on the chart of Halifax harbour are referred. This datum is fixed by reference to a Bench-mark in the Dockyard ; and it is defined as follows in a note on the chart of Halifax harbour : " The soundings are reduced to the level of Low Water Ordinary Spring Tides, viz. : 16.08 feet below a Bench-mark cut near the South-east angle of the Sail loft at the Dockyard." It is further to be noted that the tidal observations themselves show that the datum as thus defined, accords correctly with mean low water at spring tides. The levels were carried over from this Bench-mark to the tide gauge, which is situated at the Marine and Fisheries' wharf ; and the Admiralty datum as thus defined has been used throughout the series of observations as the plane of reference to which all tide levels have been referred by this Survey. The observations at Halifax were begun in 1895 ; and the levels have been repeatedly checked from the same Bench-Mark in subsequent years ; and any changes in elevation at the gauge, due to settlement or other causes, have been carefully allowed for, to maintain the same elevation for reference throughout. The levels of the Tidal Survey are thus consistent, and they are in accord with the chart datum. But it is highly desirable that the tide levels as now determined, should be known with reference to the other datum planes, to make them available in the construction of harbour works, city drainage, etc. 112 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The best relation between the other two datum planes, was establish d by Mr. E. H. Keating when City Engineer at Halifax, from comparisons between twenty-one Bench- marks, which defin ! the City datum and the Royal Engineers' datum respectively. From his original notes, the difference between them, as indicated by these Bench- marks, ranges from 1.61 to 1.96 feet, when two exceptional values are discarded which he has marked. The actual average of the nineteen remaining differences is 1.81 feet ; and the mean value which Mr. Keating has finally adopted, places the Halifax city datum at 1.85 feet below the Royal Engineers' datum. This value for the difference has since been generally adopted. The height reached by the exceptional tide of October 5, 1869 known as the Saxby tide, was also determined by Mr. Keating in April 1876, from the best marks chat could then be pointed out to him. From the mean level of these marks, he found the elevation which this tide reached at Halifax to have been 7.90 feet above the Halifax city datum. A further endeavour was made this season, to connect the Halifax city levels with the Bench-mark in the Dockyard, to establish a relation with the Admiralty datum. But the city Bench-marks in that vicinity were found to have both "original" and " corrected " elevations ; besides showing a want of agreement with each other ; and no method of working out the comparisons could be devised to give a satisfactory result. Descrepancies ranging from four inches to a foot remained outstanding which could not be accounted for, as there was no means of knowing which of them had the greater balance of probability in their favour. The elevation of the Bench-mark in the Dockyard is given as 11.05 feet above the Royal Engineers' datum on their own plans ; and it is also so noted on the chart of Halifax harbour ; but there was some doubt as to this, because the Royal Engineers' datum is presumably intended for Mean Sea Level. The true value of Mean Sea Level however, as now ascertained by this Survey from four complete years of continous observation, is found to differ by 1.55 feet from this value for their datum ; an error which is inadmissibly large where the range of the tide is only seven feet. From a com- parison which has just been made by the Royal Engineers, the corrected elevation of this Bench-mark is 1 2*61 above their datum. This determination now serves to define the relations desired. The tide levels given below, are defined by reference to the one Bench-mark. These levels have been repeatedly checked by myself ; and there is no error outstanding in them which exceeds 0.01 of a foot. Halifax, N.S.— Tidal Levels and Datum Planes.

Accordingly, this season, a new Bench-mark was set upon the post office building, built since ; there being no masonary buildings in the town in 1898. The levels were obtained from known points on the timberwork of the long Digby pier, which were compared with each other and carried to the new Bench-mark. This is on the north side of the tower of the post office building, at the joint between the granite foundation and the brickwork. It is marked by a broad arrow cut at the upper edge of the granite, at two feet west of the basement window in that side of the tower. Feet. New Bench-mark as above described.

The point used as a Bench-mark is the joint between the stone foundation and the brickwork, at the northwest corner. Levels have been taken since, on two occasions, to obtain the relation between the Tidal Survey levels and the town datum in Yarmouth ; and in this endeavour the Town Engineer, Mr. E. S. Matheson, has given his co-operation. In the best comparisons that can be obtained, there is still an uncertainty of over two inches in the result however ; as will be seen from the elevations referred to the Yarmouth town datum, given below. The elevations of some additional points are now given ; and the slight variation in the elevation of the tide scale is also indicated. The rail level at the railway crossing at the foot of Forrest street was originally taken as 100 00, but this was found to have changed more than an inch between 1898 and 1901, and was therefore thrown out as unreliable.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE CURRENTS IN THE SEASON OF 1902. Northumberland Strait. — The current at the narrowest part of this strait was observed during last winter by noting the movements of the ice as seen from the two sides at Cape Tormentine and Cape Traverse. There was, however, less ice than usual during the season. Again, in the summer, notes were taken of the time of the turn of the current in mid-strait between these two capes. The notes were taken during the lobster season by fishermen while setting or hauling their traps. Independ- ent notes from two men were secured under the supervision of Mr. E. Crosby, the station agent at Cape Traverse, who already had the experience of observing the drift of the ice in winter. Observations have thus been secured in winter from February 3 to March 29, and in summer from June 2 to August 23, with a comparatively slight expenditure. Neighbourhood of Cape Sable, N.S. — In the offing of the coast from Cape Sable to Pubnico bay, some observations were taken this season by arranging with the fisher- men to note the time of the turn of the current. The object in view was to obtain the first indraught of the current into the Bay of Fundy, with relation to the rise and fall of the tide as recorded simultaneously by the gauges on the shore opposite. The in- shore fishermen in these parts do not anchor their boats, however, which makes their notes less definite than might be desired. Also, the season was unusually foggy, which occasioned much interruption in the record they were able to make. The result though thus imperfect, may give indications which will be of service until the work can be better done with adequate appliances. South Coast of Newfoundland. — Information regarding the currents was obtained wherever possible while travelling during the season ; from the captains of coasting steamers, and schooners accustomed to fish on the outlying bank3. With regard to the alleged indraught into the bays on the south coast of Newfoundland, the best informa- tion obtained this season goes to corroborate the statements already given out by this Department, which were based upon inquiries previously made by this Survey. (See Notice to Mariners, No. 103 of 1901.) What has now been learned will also be of value as a guide in the further investigation of the currents on that coast. Respectfully submitted, W.

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE. Meteorological Office, Toronto, September 30, 1902. Lt.-Col. F. Gourdeau, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Ottawa. Sir, — I have the honour to submit the thirty-first annual report of the Meteorolo- gical Servi e of Canada, this report being for the fiscal year July 1, 1901, to June 30, 1902, with Appendices A and B, reports of the St. John and Quebec observatories. The number of persons in receipt of pay from the Meteorological Service on June 30, for various duties performed in connection therewith was 166. Of this number nine- teen are employed in the central office, and with a few others at outside stations devote their whole time to the work, others are occupied in observing during only a portion of each day, and a third portion is employed only to attend to the display of storm signals when notified. Since the issue of my last annual report the following stations have been opened : British Columbia. Cla s II.— Golden, C. E. Hamilton. " II. — Revelstoke, Fred Fraser (resumed). North-west Territories. Class II. — Melford, A. E. Wild. " II. — Lethbridge, C. B. Bowman. II.— Abnerthy, F. M. Auld. " II.— Duck Lake, A. J. McKenna. " II.— Threehills Creek, W. E. Culler.

" HI. — Newbury, P. W. Brown. 8 MARINE AND FISHERIES ii 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 The sunshine recorder at Durham has been removed to Gravenhurst and placed in charge of Dr. Elliott. The following stations from various reasons ceased to report :— Coldwater, Ont., death of observer ; Durham, Ont., death of observer ; Stouffville, Ont., observer re- moved ; Sherbrooke, Que. There are now in the Dominion S23 Meteorological stations using instruments which have been supplied by the government. The observers at 245 of these stations take the observations voluntarily, sending regular monthly returns to the central office, and to these persons is due the hearty thanks of the service. At 37 stations, lying chiefly in the far northern territories of Canada, and at lighthouses in the Gulf of St. Law- rence, small gratuities are allowed observers. At 41 stations distributed at nearly equal intervals throughout the Dominion, three or more observations are taken daily and as the observers are paid salaries, promptness and careful attention to duty is insisted upon. From 36 of these stations two reports are daily telegraphed to Toronto to be used in the preparation of the daily weather chart. CENTRAL OFFICE. There has been no change in the staff at the central office except that Mr. W. R. Kingsford accepted a commission in the 3rd Mounted Rifles and left for South Africa on April 16, and Miss Ballard has since been employed as Assistant Secretary. I would again respectfully assure you that the office is undermanned. In the report I had the honour to make last year the routine work of the office was outlined. There has since been no diminution in the work ; on the contrary it has been increased by the addition of several new voluntary reporting stations, the returns from which have to be compiled in the central office, and also by the continued expansion of the forecast and storm signal service. Being impressed with the importance of bringing the publication of the Annual Climatological Report nearer to date, I have employed some members of the staff to work at it at night in their own homes, and fairly satisfactory progress has been made. I hope before long to be able to publish a volume containing all the rainfall and snow- fall observations ever taken in Canada, together with normal values. The number of publications received in the library during the year was 352 ; being for the most part annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily reports and periodicals, from the principal astronomical and magnetical observatories of the world. The Annual Climatological Reports for the years 1898 and 1899 were issued during this year, and 860 copies of each were widely distributed in the various countries. Eight hundred and thirty-nine copies of the Monthly Weather Review and 839 copies of the Toronto General Meteorological Register were also distributed to persons in Canada and the United States each month, and 90 copies of the Daily Weather Chart were distributed each day. I would summarize the work of the central office as follows : — The receiving by telegraph twice each day of the reports from 36 Canadian stations and also from an average of 60 United States stations furnished through the courtesy of the Chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau. The preparation of synchronous daily meteorological charts on which to base the forecasts, also preparation of a stencil for duplicating this map and finally printing off 90 copies each day. The issue of storm warnings to 69 signal display stations in various parts of the Dominion, and the issue of bi-daily forecas* s for all parts of the Dominion lying between Assiniboia Territory and Cape Breton. The checking over the weekly and monthly returns received from every Meteor- ological station in the Dominion, and in most instances adding up and meaning the columns of figures representing barometer and temperature readings, rainfall, humidity, &c. The preparation of a monthly weather chart within three days of the close of each month ; the preparation of letter press and tables of mean monthly values of every ii METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Meteorological reporting station in the Dominion, for the Monthly "Weather Review ; the preparation of tables of monthly and annual mean values for an Annual Climatolog- ical Report, a quarto volume of nearly 400 pages.

The number of storm signal display stations in the Dominion is now 72, 38 of which are in Quebec and the maritime provinces, 31 on the Great Lakes and 3 in British Columbia. It is gratifying to be able to state that successful warning was given for all the more important storms which occurred during the year, the signals being duly dis- played well in advance at all stations open to navigation. The heaviest of the gales were as follows : — October 18, the Gulf of St. Lawrence ; November 12, the Great Lakes to the Mari- time Provinces : November 25, the St. Lawrence Valley and the Maritime Provinces ; January 22, the Great Lakes to the Maritime Provinces : January 26, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Valley and the Maritime Provinces ; February 17, thff St. Law- rence Valley and the Maritime Provinces. It is encouraging to note a few comments in regard to these warnings as follows : — Halifax reporting on the gale of November 25, says : — ' The storm was exception- ally heavy, the warning was ample and several gentlemen have made kind remarks on the excellence of the service both as to the Daily Bulletin and the Storm Signals. ' Port Escuminac remarks of the same storm ' It was a grand warning. ' In regard to the gale of December 4, the St. John Daily Telegraph, under date of December 5, has the following leader : — Valuable Meteorological Service. ' Year after year the value of the weather forecasts issued by the Dominion Meteorological Service becomes more apparent. While the forecasting of ordinary weather changes are of great utility, it is when violent storms are on the programme that a vital interest is taken, and the successful forecasting of such disturbance is the gauge by which the public measure the usefulness of the service. It would be difficult to estimate the value of property placed in jeopardy by one such storm as occurred yes- terday, sweeping our coasts and bays, and it would be more ditficult to estimate the amount of life and property saved by the warnings of our Canadian service. Warnings for the storm of yesterday were issued on the previous morning, and storm signals were displayed at all maritime ports. This is but one instance of the ability and alertness of our Canadian forecast officials/ The St. John Globe also under date of February 28, 1902, says as follows : 'In calling attention to the article in today's Globe on Observatory Time, it may fairly be stated that with this useful service, in addition to the daily forecasts of the weather and warnings of approaching storms — which doubtless have been the means of saving much valuable life and property — the work of the Canadian Meteorological Service may truly be said to be of inestimable value to the country and fully alive to the needs of navigators." During the year, 1,522 warnings were issued from Toronto, and of these 1,278, or S40 per cent were verified. The daily forecasts h*ve been disseminated more widly than in previous years. The bulletin issued at 10 p.m., is distributed by the telegraph companies to almost every telegraph office, in the Dominion, and published in nearly all the morning newspapers. The bulletin issued at 10 a.m., and which covers the current and following day, has also been widely disseminated and published in most of the afternoon papers, besides being posted in conspicuous places, especially at lake ports and seaports where vessel masters and sailors may conveniently see it. The more extensive bulletin which has been issued each morning for several years to St. John and Halifax, and was commenced in the spring of 1900, at Ottawa, Quebec, Montreal, Hamilton and London, continues to give satisfaction, and applications have been received from Canso, N. S., and Sydney, N. S., that the same information be supplied to those ports. Application for special temperature forecasts from shippers of perishable goods con- tinue to increase in Toronto and Montreal. ii METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE 13 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Forecasts for the lower portion of Vancouver Island and the lower mainland of British Columbia have been issued with regularity from Victoria, B. C, and I am pleased to be able to report that a fair degree of accuracy has been maintained. Inspection of Stations. During the latter part of the summer of 1901, the director visited the various tele- graph stations in the more wes'ern and northwestern portions of the Dominion includ- ing Dawson City, Yukon. At Port Arthur the Meteorological Station was as usual found in good order. Mr. Cook reported that the daily bulletins are posted outside his office and on the wharf, and that there has been a constantly increasing demand for the meteorological reports. At Medicine Hat the instruments were transferred from Mr. J. K. Drinnan to Mr. Walter Crosskill. This change of observer did not entail any change in the position of the thermometer screen or rain gauge, which still remains in an open space near the river. Mr. Crosskill is likely to prove a capital observer. Cal- gary, New "Westminster, Kamloops, Edmonton, Swift Current, Prince Albert, Winnipeg and White River were visited in turn; where necessary the station barometer was cleaned ; various minor alterations were made in the exposure of instruments, and observers instructed in such instances as errors had been noted. At Banff a choice was made of a site for the new observing station on Sulphur Mountain peak, and a rough preliminary survey was made of the best route for the cable connecting the upper and lower stations. At the time it was thought probable that the trail would be completed early in October, and that the station might be equipped before winter but bad weather and various unforeseen delays prevented anything being done before the beginning of winter. However, the trail had been completed before the end of the financial year and work had been begun on the observatory building. In April, an order for three miles of cable was placed with the London Electric Wire Com- pany, England, and I have to thank Professor Hugh Callendar, of University College, London, for valuable assistance and advice in connection with this matter. The instruments to be placed at the mountain top and connected electrically with the lower station are a wind-vane and anemometer : a barograph and one thermograph being by M. Richard Freres, Paris, and the other thermograph by Professor Hugh Cal- lendar. In addition to these instruments recording at a distance there will be a baro- graph and thermograph by M. Richard Freres, each of which will record automatically at the higher station. Two days were spent at Victoria inspecting the new offices occupied by Mr. E. Baynes Reed and Mr. Denison ; and in going over the work of these officers to whom has been deputed the work of furnishing forecast for British Columbia. Mr. Denison is, by means of a sensitive air barometer and tide gauge, investigating the connection between atmospheric waves and secondary undulations on tidal curves in the hope that something may be learnt which will be of practical value in determining the advance of storms from the Pacific. Dawson City was visited, it being the intention to obtain telegraphic reports from this station just as soon as the telegraph should be opened to British Columbia. Mr. T. A. Stewart has proved a fairly satisfactory observer, but there is no suitable exposure for the thermometers in the neighbourhood of his house, and it has been necessary to place the screen and rain-gauge in anything but a satisfactory position The telegraph line was opened through in December, and since that, a daily report has been received. The observing hour at Dawson corresponding to 8 o'clock morning and evening eastern standard time — the observing hours throughout America — are 3.43 a.m. and p.m. So far it has not been possible to arrange that the former observation be telegraphed until the opening of the telegraph office at 8 o'clock. Twenty-one stations were inspected by B. C. Webber during the past summer, who reports as follows : — Barometers were cleaned and adjusted at nearly all the stations visited where barometers were in use. Thermometers were aiso tested and adjusted. At Depot Harbour a suitable site was chosen for the signal mast, arrangements made for its erection, and the agent instructed in the duties required. 14 MARINE AND FISHERIES ii 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1933 At Renfrew, Mr. Ewing was instructed in the duties of observer. At Bissette the anemometer exposure has not proved is satisfactory as was anticipated, the lofty hills on either side in the immediate vicinity apparently affecting the surface winds. At Winnipeg the observing is relegated to the college students, a state of affairs not calculated to ensure e;ood work At Portage la Prairie, at the home for incurables, where the instruments are placed, a patient has been deputed to do the observing, consequently under existing conditions the work is valueless. At QuAppelle the new correction for the reduction of the barometer was being applied incorrectly, as had been surmised. At Prince Albert the station barometer was found to be badly leaking and hardly adjustable. Observer still affirms that there is very little wind at this place; the anemometer exposure is fair. The platform carrying the Battleford anemometer was very dilapidated and it has been replaced by a new one. At Edmonton, Mr. Taylor is still unable to attend to the work, and his daughter does the observing. The Calgary barometer was discovered to be badly cracked, and another one had to be substituted ; the anemometer structure also required attention. At Banff the trail up Sulphur Mountain to the Observatory has been especially well constructed ; it is six feet wide, and can be comfortably traversed on horseback. The thermometers at Golden were not well exposed, and observer seemed doubtful whether he would con- tinue the work gratuitously. At Glacier the work is reluctantly attented to, the ther- mometer readings are taken from a 'Sixes ' instrument suspended from railway station wall and the rain gauge which was under the eaves of a shed was pretty well to pieces. I have given my \iews in a previous report on the desirability of reliable observations from this point. At Nanaimo an anemometer is not advisable, the work here is conscien- tiously and well performed. The work at the head office for British Columbia under Mr. E. Baynes Reed continues to be very satisfactory. At A'ancouver the time work is not well performed and a general overhauling is necessary. The voluntary observer (Mr. Brown) at this place takes great pains and interest in the weather observations. At Westminster all was in good order. Parry Sound was visited in order to instruct the observer in the new reduction table for the barometer to sea level, as it was found impossible to impart the knowledge by writing. The thermometers here are not well exposed and the rebuilding of the present much worn wind tower would be hardly advisable. Six stations were inspected by Mr. H. V. Payne. At South West Point, Anticosti Island, the new observer, Mr. E. Lemieux, required full instructions in his work, and was doing his best to perform his duties. The instruments required a general over- hauling. At Father Point the barometers required cleaning and anemograph was repaired. The signal lamps do not keep alight properly and jar out. The station on the whole was in good order. At Point Rich, .Newfoundland, the instruments were well cared for, but a wind vane and sun-dial were required. At Point Amour, Labrador, instruments were in order and observations well taken ; the observer was using magnetic instead of true bearing, in giving direction of wind. At Cape Norman, Newfoundland, a new wind vane was required and the sun-dial was out of level. Ob-.ervations were fairly taken. At Belle Isle, Newfoundland, the barometer was too dirty to give correct reading and had to be replaced by a new one : the anemometer was broken and new arms were required ; the sun dial was readjusted. A steel tower was recommended for the wind instruments as the old exposure was not satisfactory. Cape Race, Newfoundland, was also visited, it was found well adapted as an observing station, and the keeper was willing to take observations if instruments were supplied. SEISMOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. The Milne seismographs at Toronto and Victoria, B.C., have been kept in regular operation throughout the year and very satisfactory records obtained. The disturban- ces have all been tabulated, and copies of all tables together with photographic prints of the more important disturbances have been forwarded to Professor Milne, secretary of the Seismological Committee of the British Association. For the purpose of seismolo- gical investigation these will afford very valuable and interesting data when considered METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE 15 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 with similar curves from other parts of the world. We have received very favourable comments from Professor Milne as to the excellent nature of the observations supplied from the two Canadian stations. From June, 1901, to June, 1902, 10G disturbances have been recorded at Victoria and 82 at Toronto. The principal ones of the series occurred on — August 9th. October 8th. November 14th— 20th. December 9th — 31st. January 1st— 24th, 1902. February 17th. March 22nd. April 19th. The disturbances of August !) originated in Japan and the swing of the Victoria pendulum was 30 millimetres. The preliminary tremors travelled in six minutes between Victoria and Toronto. Coincident with the earthquake in Japan came a tidal wave which swept in on the Hawaiian coast. It attained a height of 5 feet greater than the usual high water mark. The disturbance of April 19th was particularly marked. The Toronto record shows the vibration to have passed completely across the ribbon of photographic paper, indicating a swing of over 25 millimeters, the Victoria pendulum swinging 1G millimeters and the magnets at the Agincourt Observatory were set in vibration by the earth billows. This earthquake was central in Guatemala and resulted in large loss of life and property. Quesaltenango the second city of import- ance in Guatemala and having a population of ".5,000 was reduced to ruins and 500 lives were lost. Time Service. During the year ending June 30, 1902, sixty meridian observations for time were made with the transit instrument and five solar observations were taken. The positions of the stars used were those given in the ' Berliner Jahrbuch.' The usual determina- tions of the collimation error of the transit instrument have been made by micrometri- cal measurements of the collimating telescope and by reversals on Polaiis. The azi- muth level and collimation errors have remained very steady throughout the year giving a convincing proof of the substantial mounting of the transit instrument. July Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.

The errors of the Toronto clock and of time on the time- pieces used by the different observatories elsewhere are computed from the latest obser- vations. The mean time clock of the Toronto Observatory has continued to show abso- lute standard time of the 75th meridian. The means of keeping it to this adjustment has been described in the Annual Report for 1899. The different electrical attach- ments to this clock and the sidereal clock have given great satisfaction. Time has been given weekly to the Magnetical Observatory at Agincourt. The time service under control of the Meteorological Service comprises in addition to the striking of the fire alarm bells in Toronto at 11.55 a.m. daily, the dropping of the time balls at Quebec and St. John and the firing of a gun at Vancouver. The following table shows the difference between the time by l Standard Observer ' and that given at the various exchanges. The sign indicates that the time as sent from the various observatories is faster than by 'Standard Observer.' The arithmetical means of the times determined at Toronto and Montreal is the time by 'Standard Observer.' There can be little doubt that the constant positive difference between ' Standard Observer ' and St. John, indi- cates that we are using an erroneous longitude for that city and that no fault lies with the observer. It is proposed very shortly, as soon as a new transit instrument shall have been installed, to redetermine its longitude. Sunspot Observations. Sunspot observations have been continued as usual throughout the year. These observations are made by projecting the image of the sun upon paper, the equatorial telescope driven by clock-work being used. Maps of the sun's surface are thus made about four inches in diameter showing well the spots and faculse markings. One hun- dred and thirty-eight observations were made, and on one hundred and fourteen days the sun was observed with no spots. The periods of no sunspots were as follows : — 1901— June 29 to July 22 23 days.

All of which is respectfully submitted. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, E. F. STUPART, Director. ii METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE 17 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 APPENDIX A. Quebec, August, 1902. To the Director, Meteorological Service, Toronto. SlB, — I have the honour to transmit my annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902. The correct standard time was given daily as formerly, and several chronometers were rated at this observatory during the navigation season. The time- ball was dropped for the first time this year on April 10, and it is in good working order. The weather bulletin has been regularly distributed and frequent inquiries respecting the probable state of the weather were made at this observatory, especially during the summer season. All the meteorological ob ervations were taken daily as heretofore. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd) ARTHUR SMITH, Director. APPENDIX B. St. John Observatory, St. John, N.B., October 10, 1902. R. F. Stupart, Esq., Director Canadian Meteorological Service, Toronto, Ont. mi:, — I have the honour to present the annual report upon the work of the St. John Observatory for the tiscal year ending June 30, 1902. The meteorological work has been continued with but little change from former reports. A tipping bucket rain gauge and electric register was received in August and at once installed, the first automatic record was in ide on the loth of that month. Con- tinuous records of the time, amount and rate of rainfall are now electrically registered by this instrument. The morninvr weather bulletins from Toronto are of increasing value and importance to mariners, shippers and others having business interests that are affected by weather changes. The bulletin is issued as rapidly as possible after receipt of the telegraph message is ported, distributed and published by all of our daily papers as formerly reported. Special telephone reporcs are frequently requested, and in this way the fore- cast > and prevailing conditions over the greater portion of the continent are immediately available before the bulletin can be issutd. The morning forecasts and. all storm warnings are promptly telephoned to St. Martins, the forecasts are posted in the telephone exchange and the storm signals 21— ii— 2 18 • MARINE AND FISHERIES \\ 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1933 displayed at the lighthouse near the entrance to that port for the use of local mariners, as well as the shipping in that portion of the Bay of Fundy. A considerable portion of my time is taken up in answering inquiries from the press and public, and numerous demands are made for information from the observatory records. The time service has received careful attention and observations of stars tor determination of the errors and rates of the standard sidereal clock were made as often as the weather would permit Owing to the adoption of standard time of the 60th meridian the time-ball has been dropped by that standard since of June 15, last, and the mean-time transmitting clock since the above date has been adjusted to show standard time on the 60th meridian. Both clocks have been giving satisfactory service and the automatic system of clock signals which are daily telegraphed over the greater portion of the Maritime Provinces are practically used as the standard for this portion of the Dominion. Special time signals are quite frequently asked for from navigators and others. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, D. L. HUTCHINSON, Director St. John Observatory. MAGNETIC OBSERVATORY. Lieut. -Colonel F. Gouudkau, Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Ottawa. Sir. — I have the honour to submit the following report in connection with the Magnetic Observatory at A gincourt. Photographic records of declination and horizontal force have been continued throughout the year, also thermographic records of the temperature of the basement. Hourly measurements of these curves have been tabulated showing hourly, daily and monthlv means, also daily maxima and mimima and times of the occurrence of the same. Check observations to these curves have been taken at stated times by means of auxiliarv scale readings, and comparisons made. Daily comparisons of the clock regu- lating the time intervals of the curves have been made with a chronometer, and the daily rate and error recorded. A weekly telegraphic time exchange with Toronto has shown satisfactory rates. The absolute determinations of declination, inclination and horizontal force have been carried on and comparisons made, by simultaneous readings with the differen- tial instruments for constancy of zeros. Tabular information has at various times been compiled for those requesting the same. About fifty hours of the photographic records have been missed through the stop- page of the driving clock and failure of coal-oil lights. The principal loss has been through stoppage of the clock. This clock has been doing continuous duty for more than fifty years and therefore is somewhat worn. The loss of record from this cause is approximately 0 5 per cent per annum. Continuous records of velocity and direction of wind by electrical anemograph ; a dailv record of maximum and minimum temperatures ; three incidental observations for temperature, state of weather, &c , and the amount of precipitation have been main- tained throughout the year. ii METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE 19 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 Synopsis of Magnetic Conditions.

Naval Assistant's Office. Halifax, N.S., October 10, 1902. The Deputy Minister, Marine and Fisheries Department, Ottawa. Sir, — I have the honour to make the following report on the life saving stations in the Maritime Provinces, Sable Island excepted, that establishment being under the inspection of Mr. C. A. Hutchins, superintendent of lighthouses in the province. INSPECTION OF STATIONS. The whole of the stations have been inspected by me during the year, and I have much pleasure in stating that with one exception, Duncan's Cove, they are in an efficient state, discipline has been maintained, and a zealous desire on the part of the officers in charge has been manifested to keep the stations thoroughly reliable in the event of wreck. SERVICES AT WRECKS. Three casualties of importance have occurred during the year. The Mira, a steamship, near Yarmouth, in February last. The Allan steamship Grecian, at the entrance of Halifax Harbour, in the same month, and The steamship Lake Sujierior, at the entrance of the harbour of St. John, N.B., in April last. At neither of these casualties were the services of the life boats near them, re- quired, but at both Yarmouth and Halifax, the officers in charge visited the ships ashore and were ready to act if necessary. Other minor disasters have taken place, and the coxswains, where necessary, have tendered their services. HERRING COVE. The launching ways at this station require extensive repairs, and number of rocks off the slip must be removed. duncan's cove. The old Dobbin self-righting self-bailing boat, requires extension repairs, as the boat is old, extremely heavy, bad to pull against wind and sea, I consider she is not worth repairs. This type of life boat, with high ends for self-righting purposes, has become obso- lete. The boat is costly, $575, more than double the price of the Bebe McLellan self- bailing boat at $250, which is eminently adapted for our stations, as she is safe, light for launching and hauling up, and manageable with a crew of six men and a coxswain. The Dobbin boat is practically useless in a gale of wind and heavy sea from the offingr. ii LIFE-SAVING STATIONS 53 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 I have, therefore, in another report, thoroughly advocated the condemnation o* the Dobbin boat at Duncan's Cove, and the building of a Bebe McLellan boat, similar to those recently placod at St. Paul's Island, Blanche, Clark's harbour, and Seal cove, Grand Manan. All these boats are preferred by the officers and crews to the Dobbin class of boat. Lyle i to a Apparatus. Great difficulty has been found in reference to this class of gun. At Duncan's Cove, early last year, after drill practice svith small charges of powder — only five ounces- the gun contracted and one of the projectiles, after entering it, became jammed in the gun. 1 sing two double luff tackles with the fall taken to a powerful winch, with seven men at the handles, I found it impossible to extract the projectile. The gun was then taken to H.M.S. Charybrlis, Commodore Giffard having kindly allowed his armourers' staff to release the projectile by heating the gun sufficiently to cause its expansion. Subsequently the gun was bored to take the projectiles. I may here state that strict orders have been issued by me, to the officers at St. Paul's Island and at Duncan's Cove, to keep the guns and projectiles free from oxidisation by careful cleaning, and lubricating them with vaseline. And I know from personal inspection that this has been done. Notwithstanding this, on my recent visit to Duncan's Cove, the coxswain reported to me that the Lyle gun at that station was absolutely useless, as he found it impossible to enter the projectiles further than 8 inches from the muzzle, the projectiles being II inches in length, it was 6 inches from the chamber in the breach. I personally tested the 1 2 projectiles, and found this to be the case. I therefore took the spare gun, the one that had been rebored, from the Marine and Fisheries Stores, to Duncan's Cove, and tested it with 5 and 8 ounce charges, and I am glad to say, the projectiles entered easily after the gun had been carefully cleaned after each discharge. Careful sponging and cleaning is evidently essential to the effective working of the Lyle gun, as the bore is very slightly larger in diameter than the projectile used, the latter fitting as closely as a plunger in a metallic pump. As stated before, the gun now at the Duncan's Cove Station, is the one that was purchased last year, and was rebored to fit the projectiles used by the Messrs. Longard Brothers. On my recent visit, I again tested the gun, which, although perfectly clean and bright, will not admit the projectiles and I propose having it rebored to the same gauge as that above referred to. Lately I was informed by Mr. John Campbell, the son of the superintendent at St. Paul's Island, that they are in the habit of cleaning the Lyle gun at that station, after drill, with boiling water. This may be practicable at the station, but it is evi- dent it could not be adopted on service at wrecks on the coast remote from houses, or in bad weather. But, in order to keep the guns perfectly clean and bright, I intend to supply the stations with elastic sponges and cleaners. I have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant.

A meeting of a quorum of the Board of Steamboat Inspection was convened at Toronto, November 14, 1901, for the purpose of considering amendments to the rules for the construction of boilers, and the bringing of them into greater conformity with the British Board of Trade rules, which in due time will be adopted and published. Also, owing to the numerous applications made to have vessels propelled by power derived from naphtha, gasoline, or such material, licensed for the purpose of carrying passengers. This matter was given careful consideration, and in view of the number of accidents from fire and explosion which have occurred in such vessels0 and the inflamma- ble nature of the material, together with the unreliability of the motive power as of present construction, it was the unanimous opinion of the board, in the interest of public safety, not advisable to license such vessels for the purpose of carrying passengers. On March 12, 1902, a meeting was again convened at Toronto, composed of the following members : J. Dodds and E. W. Mclvean of Toronto, T. P. Thompson, Kingston, W. Laurie, Montreal, J Samson, Quebec, E. Adams, Ottawa. This meeting was convened for the purpose of again giving consideration to a former rerjuest of the Bertram Engine Works Co. as stated in my report for 1901 ; also to examine the new boiler which burst under test pressure at the Poison Iron Works Co. of Toronto ; and to consider the subjects considered and discussed at the former meet- ing of the Board November 4, 1901, together with the request of the National Association of Marine Engineers as presented to the Hon. Minister of Marine and Fisheries for amendments to the laws pertaining thereto, as to the board's opinion thereon, for the information of the Hon Minister. Relating to the bursting of the shell of the Poison Co. boiler while under test pressure, the following was the opinion of the Board from the tensile and bending tests made of the material ; that the tensile and bending tests in some cases showed fairly satisfac- tory, buji the comparatively low reduction of area at point of fracture in test strips and the abruptness of the fractures, together with the results of the rolling and pressing tests to which subjected, clearly demonstrated the material as very brittje and lacking the quality of toughness : and should not in the interest of safety be permitted for use in shells of steamboat boilers ; and demonstrates the necessity of careful attention and ii STEAMBOAT INSPECTION 73 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 inspection on the part of inspectors when inspecting boilers under construction, as to the quality of the material being used. February 19, 1902. — A meeting of the full Board of Hull Inspectors was convened at Ottawa, for the purpose of revising the rules where deemed necessary to meet the re- quirements, as. considered most suitable an 1 adapted to the conditions as existing in the several divisions. The meeting was convened from 19th to 22nd both days inclusive, during which time the rules relating to the inspection of boats, life preservers and other life-saving appliance to be carried on steamboats or other vessels were carefully considered, clause by clause, and revised where deemed advisable in the interest of the public service, with due regard to safety ; which in the opinion of the Board will be more workable and applicable to the several localities, than the present rules and conditions as existing ; and in due time will be adopted and published together with the rules for the construc- tion of boilers. Prosecutions with Penalties Enforced for Violation of the Steamboat Inspection Act. October 12, 1901. — A complaint was received by the department informing them the steamer Minneola was trading on the waters at Rat Portage, Ont., in violation of the Steamboat Inspection Act, and not being registered ; on inquiry by the department, instructions were issued to the Collector of Customs at Rat Portage to tie the vessel up, and place her under seizure until the requirements of the law were complied with, and a fine of $50 and costs collected for the violation; in all amounting to 6,s0. 15, which was collected and received by the department, April 11, 1902. April 11, 1902. — At Victoria, B.C., the Collector of Customs imposed a fine of $100 on the steam tug Tyee, of ]Sew Westminster, for carrying passengers and not having been certificated for that purpose; which charge was admitted and the penalty paid, as per bank draft No. 807, received by the department. April 8, 1902. — Information was laid against the captain of the steam-tug Blonde for infraction of the Steamboat Inspection Act, by carrying passengers without holding a certificate for that purpose. The case was tried before the Stipendiary Magistrate at New Westminster, B.C., who finding the defendant guilty, imposed a penalty of $75, and costs 621.60, which was paid by defendant. May 15, 1902. — Information was laid against the owners of the steam-tug Eva for carrying passengers without being certificated for so doing ; which case came before his Honour Judge Henderson, ;.t Vancouver, B.C., and was proven, whereby judgment was given imposing a fine of 8100, and costs $20.50, which was paid by defendants. May 22, 1902. — Steam-tug Eagle charged with carrying passengers in violation of the law ; the case coming before his Honour Judge Henderson, when the defendants appeared and through their counsel pleaded guilty to the charge, and in view of the cir- cumstances a fine of 6100 and costs was imposed. On the same date, steamer Cleeve having been charged with carrying passengers in violation of the law, this case also came before his Honour Judge Henderson, when the offence was admitted on the part of the company, who stated they had applied ior a passenger license for the vessel, and accordingly his Honour imposed a fine of 6100, which has been paid by defendants.

At Quebec one application was made for a certificate of competency as mate sea- going and was successful. At Victoria three applications were made for sea-going certificates of competency as master, and eight for mates' certificate ; three masters and seven mates received certificates. It can therefore be seen that twelve applications were made for masters' certificates of competency sea-going, and thirty for mates' during the year : twelve masters and twenty-seven mates received certificates ; also seven applications for certificates as master competency, coasting and inland waters were made to the Board of Examiners, and five for mates' certificates : seven masters and five mates received certificates. Two certificates of service were issued through the Halifax office for master coasting and one for mate, also one renewal certificate. The total number of certificates issued by the Department of Marine and Fisheries during the fiscal year, including competency, service and renewal, upon application to the Board of Examiners at Halifax, was fifty-five, and fees to the amount of $476 were collected and deposited to the credit of the Receiver-General. The fees collected by the examiner at Victoria are sent by him direct to the department and are not included in the above amount. Amongst the applicants enumerated above some presented themselves a second time for examination, having previously failed to pass. 21— ii— 10 146 MARINE AND FISHERIES 2-3 EDWARD VII., A. 1903 During the year the only examiners for officers in the foreign or oversea trade has been Captain James Gaudin, the agent for the department at Victoria, who examines them in seamanship and other matters. The problems in. navigation generally are forwarded by him to me, when, if satis- factory, the papers are transmitted to the department from this office. At Halifax the examiner in seamanship, Captain David Hunter, has been incapaci- tated by illness since prior to the death of the late Chairman, Captain W. H. Smith, R.N.R. At St. John, N.B., the vacancy caused by the death of Captain Wm. Thomas in November, 1899, has not been filled ; consequently the whole examination for that port for foreign-going and coasting certificates still devolves on me. During the past year Captain Alexander Cameron, holding an Imperial Board of Trade certificate of competency, as master ordinary, has been appointed examiner of candidates for masters' and mates' certificates for coasting, inland and minor inland waters.

E. 1>A\YS0X, PRINTER TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY 1902 [No. 21«— 1903.] 2-3 EDWARD VII., SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21a A. 1903 To the Hon. James Sutherland, Minister of Marine and Fisheries. The undersigned has the honour to submit the fourth annual report of the Geographic Board of Canada, containing the decisions of the Board for the year ending June 30, 1902. The publication of the last report having been unavoidably delayed, and the •edition printed being an unusually large one, it was not deemed necessary to consoli- date the names again this year, but to publish at once the decisions rendered during the past year ; the next consolidation of the names, and the additional index under Provinces and Territories, referred to in the last report, to be made after June next for the fifth annual report. Six thousand three hundred names, for the new map of Canada, which was being prepared in the Department of the Interior, were submitted to the Board. As it was desirable to avoid delay in the publication of the map, and as an examination of the names showed that most of them were undisputed, the Board decided to approve them provisionally, except 427, which were reserved for the usual action, and upon which decisions were rendered during the year, and they comprise the greater part of the following list. During the year twelve meetings of the Board have been held. A change in the organization of the Board has taken place, the Government of the Province of Ontario having nominated Mr. Aubrey White, Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands, to be a member of the Board for Ontario, under the provisions of the Order in Council, dated December 14, 1899.
