In addition to maintaining the stream measurement work previously estab- lished in the nine districts of the southern part of the province, the field of oper- ations has been extended to include that part of central British Columbia opened up for settlement and development by the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The work in this district was only commenced in May of 1915 and the few stations established were installed at the request of parties who expected to utilize the water in the near future. Practically no extension of the work has been made in the other districts, the men and funds available being only sufficient for that already established. The work during the past year has supplied additional information which necessitates the revising of much data which the urgency of the requests of engineers and others in previous years had induced the survey to supply. These revisions are being carefully gone into and I would recommend that a hydrometric bulletin including all such data acquired since the commencement of the survey be published at the end of the year. Co-operation with the British Columbia Lands Branch and the Dominion Parks Branch has been continued, investigations being made and reports sub- mitted on the following, — applications for lease of foreshore lands for the purpose of removing sand and gravel, for the purchase of lands under irrigation conditions, for the setting aside of certain lands for the protection of the water supply, for the reserving from settlement of certain lands for storage purposes in connec- tion with irrigation, and other applications of a general nature. In connection with a hydrometric bulletin which the Provincial Water Rights Branch proposed to publish, complete flow data was supplied that Branch in October for the period January 1, to September 30, 1915. The furnishing of the data at that time involved a very considerable extra amount of work, the staff having been so depleted by the members enlisting for overseas service that it was necessary to bring some of the field engineers into the office to assist in the compilation. Mutual benefit has been derived by the continued co-operation between the Provincial Water Rights Branch and this Survey. The Conservation Commission of Canada has again been furnished with all the hydrometric data required in connection with its forthcoming report on the water powers of British Columbia. Every effort has been made to Becure the information requested by the Commission dininu the year. 25b— li DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ORGANIZATION. 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 The methods of collecting and compiling the data for publication in the Annual Stream Measurement report were similar to those of previous vears and have been described fully in other reports. The division of the territory covered by the survey into districts in 1914, and described in Water Resources Paper No. 14, was found to be suitable and economical and was adhered to in 1915, but the changes in staff due to the war, made it impossible to allot an engineer specially to each district. At the commencement of the year the staff consisted of the chief engineer, three division engineers, eight assistant engineers, one accountant, two clerical assistants and two stenographers. During the year six of the staff enlisted for active service and only three appointments were made. It is considered that, under the circumstances, the best possible rearrangement of the work was made. Coast Division. As in 1914 Messrs. Cline, Webb and Hughes were in charge of the field work in the Southern, Vancouver Island and Lillooet districts respectively. In September Mr. Cline was transferred to Kamloops to take charge of the Kamloops division when Mr. Dann enlisted for active service. For the remainder of the year what little field work was required in the southern district was looked after by Mr. Hughes. The computations of the data for the Annual report were made by Messrs. Webb and Hughes and checked by Mr. Balls, the office engineer. Coast Division. List of Regular Gauging Stations , Southern District. Station Number. Stream. Location. 1000 Tp. 6. Rge. 7.

The majority of the stations in the district have been established at the request of parties interested in the flow records, and in several cases they are co-operating with the department in the matter of expenditures in connection with the maintenance of the stations. Open water conditions prevail on the majority of the rivers in the district, and as the conditions governing the control are for the most part permanent, the field work in connection with the maintenance of the stations is becoming less each year, now that the stations are well rated.

In addition to maintaining the stations established in this district prior to 1915, others were established on Brandywine, Foster Bar, Fraser and Pavilion rivers. While the minimum discharge of Brandywine river is rather small, about 600 horse power could be developed very cheaply and used as a temporary power plant until a larger development on the Cheakamus river is required. The stations on Foster Bar and Pavilion creeks have been established in connection with irrigation studies. The Fraser river benches adjacent to the mouth of Foster Bar creek, when irrigated, are well suited to cultivation. At present the normal flow of the creek is being used for this purpose. So far no investigations have been made with a view to storing the high water flow A small dam at the outlet of Pavilion lake stores a portion of the spring and early summer freshets and this water is released as required by the irrigators along the river. Owing to the old gauge on the Fraser river at Lytton being affected by back- water from the Thompson river, the station was abandoned ami a new station established at Lillooet, where measurements are seemed from the Pacific Great Eastern Railway bridge.

Stations were established in 1914 on those rivers which were considered of the most importance and with the exception of the station on Campbell river no change was made in the district during 1915. Owing to the difficulty in securing accurate measurements from a boat, during high water on the Campbell river, a cable and car were installed in May and the station was fairly well rated during the season. The Campbell River Power Company co-operated in the matter of expenditure in the installation of cable and car. Although the Campbell River Power Company was in possession of the daily gauge records of four gauges on the river since 1910, none of these gauges had ever been rated. These records were placed at the disposal of this survey and each set has been co-related to its gauge, affording an unbroken record of reliable data since the above mentioned year. Coast Division.

Records are being kept on Brash creek in co-operation with the city of Enderby for municipal water supply and power purposes. Most of the other stations in the Okanagan district are maintained on account of water power possibilities. On Adams river a Gurley water stage register has been in operation all year and the results have been most satisfactory. No ice troubles wen- experienced although the weather was unusually cold. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 9 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e A car and cable were installed in April, 1915, on the Seymour river and the station was consequently fairly well rated during the season, so that the gauge readings obtained in 1914 as well as those in 1915 were made available for deter- mining the flow of the stream. The car on the Seymour river is located on one of the trails up the river and is used as a ferry by ranchers and others who have occasion to use the trail. A similar use is made of the car on the Murtle river, in the Kamloops district, particularly by the rangers of the Provincial Forestry Department. Kamloops Division.

On Cache creek the station had been discontinued, but, at the request of the Provincial W7ater Rights Branch, it was started again in 1915. 10 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 Kamloops Division.

On Nakusp and Sawmill rivers, the stations have been discontinued, the data not being deemed of sufficient importance to warrant the expenditure required to maintain them. ( )\\ing to the difficulty in securing reliable gaugings on the Pend d'Oreille, at Waneta, the division engineer accompanied by Messrs. Hoyt and Parker of the United States Geological Survey, made a reconnaissance trip along the course of the river. The most suitable location for establishing a station was found to be near Metaline Falls, Washington. The station at Waneta was consequently discontinued and we have co-operated with the United States Geological Survey in the establishment of a cable and car at Metaline Falls, and in the maintenance of the station. The Survey's station on the Columbia river, at Trail, was also visited and the United States Geological Survey in turn have co-operated with us in its maintenance. A sounding apparatus, weights and reel, have been sent by Mr. Hoyt for use at Trail during high water, as difficulty has previously been experienced in getting Soundings at high stages with ordinary weights.

BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 15 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e EXPLANATION OF TABLES. For each regular gauging station the following data are given so far as avail- able:— 1. Description of station. 2. Table of discharge measurements. 3. Daily gauge-height discharge table. 4. Tables of monthly discharge and run-off. Under the description of stations is given the location, general information regarding the equipment, and the time the station has been maintained. Regard- ing stations established this year, is given briefly, the source, description of drain- age area, and present uses of the river. In addition, the description covers ice conditions and their effect on the relation of gauge height to discharge. The table of discharge measurements gives the number of measurements made during the year, the date measurement was made, name of engineer, the width and area of the cross section and the discharge in cubic feet per second. The zero of the gauge is set to an arbitrary datum, and has no relation to the zero flow or bed of the river. In general, the zero is located below the lowest known flow. The daily gauge-height discharge tables give the daily elevation of the surface of the river above the zero of the gauge, and the daily discharge in cubic feet per second for the observed gauge height. In the table of monthly discharge the column headed "Maximum" gives the mean flow for the day when the mean gauge height was highest. As the gauge height is the mean for the day, there may have been short periods when the gauge height and corresponding discharge was higher than given in this column. Like- wise in the column of "Minimum" the quantity given is the mean flow for the day when the mean gauge height was lowest. The column headed "Mean" is the average flow for each second during the month. On this the computations for the remaining columns are based. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS. The volume of water flowing in a stream called the run-off or "discharge" is expressed in various terms, each of which has become associated with a certain class of work. These terms may be divided into two groups: (1) those which represent a rate of flow, as second-feet, gallons per minute, and run-off in second feet per square mile; and (2) those which represent the actual quantity of water, as run-off in depth in inches and acre feet. The units used in this report are, second-feet, second-feet per square mile, run-off in inches, and acre-feet. "Second-foot" is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second > t s.) and is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a stream 1 toot wide, 1 toot deep, at a rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit from which others are computed by tin- use of the factors given in the following table of equivalents. 16 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 "Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, assuming that the run-off is distributed unifonnly both as regards time and area. " Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were conserved and uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth in inches. "Acre-foot is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, and is the quantity required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot. It is a common unit of measurement of quantity, and is generally used in connection with storage. CONVENIENT EQUIVALENTS. The following is a list of convenient equivalents for use in hydraulic com- putations:— 1 second-foot equals 35.71 British Columbia miner's inches. 1 second-foot equals 6.23 British Imperial gallons per second; equals 538,472 gallons for one day. 1 second-foot equals 7.48 United States gallons per second ; equals 646,272 gallons for one day. 1 second-foot for one year covers 1 square mile, 1.131 feet or 13.572 inches deep. 1 . second-foot for one year equals 31,536,000 cubic feet; equals 724 acre- feet. 1 second-foot equals about 1 acre-inch per hour. 1 second-foot for one day equals 86,400 cubic feet; equals 1.983 acre-feet. 1 second-foot for one 28 day month equals 55.52 acre-feet. 1 second-foot for one 29 day month equals 57.50 acre-feet. 1 second-foot for one 30 day month equals 59.48 acre-feet. 1 second-foot for one 31 day month equals 61.46 acre-feet. 1 second-foot for one 28 day month covers 1 square mile 1.041 inches deep. 1 second-foot for one 29 day month covers 1 square mile 1.079 inches deep. 1 second-foot for one 30 day month covers 1 square mile 1.116 inches deep. 1 second-foot for one 31 day month covers 1 square mile 1.153 inches deep. 100 British Imperial gallons per minute equals 0.268 second-feet. 100 United States gallons per minute equals 0.223 second-feet. 1,000,000 British Imperial gallons per day equals 1.86 second-feet. 1,000,000 United States gallons per day equals 1.55 second-feet. 1,000,000 British Imperial gallons equals 3.68 acre-feet. 1,000,000 United States gallons equals 3.07 acre-feet. 1,000,000 cubic feet equals 22.95 acre-feet. 1 acre-foot equals 43,560 cubic feet. 1 acre-foot equals 271,472 British imperial gallons. 1 acre-foot equals 325,850 United States gallons. 1 inch dec]) <»n 1 square mile equals 2,323,200 cubic feet. ] inch deep on 1 square mile equals 0.0737 second-foot per year.

Practically all discharge measurements made under fair conditions are well within 5 per cent of the true discharge of the time of observation. Inasmuch as the errors of meter measurements are largely compensating, the mean rating curve, when well defined, is much more accurate than the individual measure- ments. In order to give information regarding the probable accuracy of the computed results, an accuracy column is inserted in the monthly discharge table. Accuracy "A" indicates that the mean accuracy is probably accurate within 5 per cent; "B" within 10 per cent; "C" within 15 per cent; "D" within 15 to 25 per cent. Special conditions are covered by foot notes. The accuracy in many cases is not as great as we would wish, the area covered is very large, and a large number of the stations have been maintained but a short time. Future observations may render necessary a certain amount of revision of the data here supplied. The topographic surveys of the province are very incomplete, and the drainage areas are, in many cases, only approximate; consequently the figures showing discharge per square mile, and run-off depth in inches may be somewhat in error.

CHAPTER II. REPORT OF C. E. WEBB, B.A.Sc. ACTING DIVISION ENGINEER. 25B- 2\ 19 7 GEORGE V SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e CHAPTER II. COAST DIVISION. TERRITORY. Geography. — The Coast division of the British Columbia Hydrometric Survey comprises the south-western part of British Columbia. By referring to the key map showing the number and location of all the regular gauging stations, the exact boundaries may be clearly noted. All gauging stations numbering in the One Thousands are in the Coast division. The Coast division is subdivided into three districts, known as Lillooet, Southern, and Vancouver Island. These districts were fully described in the 1914 report (Water Resources Paper No. 14.) Generally speaking, the Lillooet district extends along the line of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway from the head of Howe Sound to the vicinity of the town of Lillooet. The southern district comprises the territory around Vancouver, and extends up the valley of the Fraser river as far east as North Bend. Vancouver Island district is the whole of Vancouver Island, although as yet no work has been done on the north end or west coast. The Coast division includes the large manufacturing centres of Greater Vancouver, New Westminster, and Victoria. These centres are supplied with electric energy by two large hydro-electric power companies, the Western Canada Power Company and the British Columbia Electric Railway Company.

Along the Fraser river from North Bend west, the topography changes from the high rugged mountains of the Coast range, with narrow bench lands, to the fertile low lands at the mouth of the river where the valley is wide. The great interior plateau with its semi-arid soil comes into the division in the vicinity of Lillooet. There is some fine agricultural land in this district which, when irrigated, yields excellent crops. To the west of Lillooet the mountains rise rapidly and precipitation increases. Vancouver Island has a mountainous interior and for the most part is very heavily timbered. The streams are comparatively short and swift, rising and falling rapidly with sudden changes in climatic conditions. Economic Geology. — The mineral wealth in the division is very great and new properties are continually being opened up and developed. The present war has given a great impetus to the already active mining industry in this pro- vince and many companies are enlarging their plants, which will greatly increase their productions. Gold, silver, copper and coal are all mined extensively, while Portland cement is manufactured on a large scale on Vancouver Island. Hydro-electric energy is used to a large extent in all mining operations in the Coast division, most mines having their own hydro-electric installations. CLIMATE. Temperature and Precipitation. — The climate of the south-western part of British Columbia is moderate. The warm Japan current which flows along the coast has a great effect on the climatic conditions of the province. Due to the mountainous nature of the country there is often a great difference in both temperature and precipitation in a very short distance. In the winter, precipi- tation is mostly caused by moisture-laden winds from the Pacific ocean. These winds frequently cross the low coastal plains without precipitating a drop of water, but on striking the cold mountain sides at a high altitude, the moisture is immediately condensed, causing heavy precipitation, probably in the form of snow on the mountains and rain in the valleys. The snow stored in the higher altitudes during the winter comes off as a rule during May and June. The streams along the coast and on Vancouver Island are subject to high water almost any time from October to June. These streams usually have their minimum flow in the months of August and September. The inland streams in the southern and Lillooet districts being subject to lower tem- peratures in the winter months, generally have their minimum flow in January and February and their maximum flow in the spring. Temperature and precipitation tables for the different Localities in each dis- trict, accompanying this report, give the mean monthly temperature and the total monthly precipitation for the year, with the difference from the average in each case lor the past ten years or more. These tables have been compiled from the monthly reports of the Meteorological Service of Canada, Mr. R. F. Stuparl . F.R.S.( '., director. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDRO METRIC SURVEY 25 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e In compiling these tables an endeavor has been made to choose those obser- vation stations that will most closely average the actual precipitations and tem- peratures over the whole division. USES OF WATER. The uses of water may more easily be discussed under the following headings: Municipal Water Supply, Irrigation, Reclamation, W'ater Power Developments, and WTater Power Possibilities. View of Stamp lall>, on Stamp river. In the accompanying lists the streams are classified under the differenl headings. 1 )(-si riptions of each stream may be found either in this or a previous report. By referring to the lists, the number and year of the Water Resources paper describing each stream may be found. Ml \K [PA1 SI I'l'l \ The supply of pure water to municipalities, towns or cities requires the thorough investigation ol the flow in available streams. 26 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 IRRIGATION. The lands in the valley of the Fraser river, around Lillooet require irrigation. There are many small streams in this district which require to be controlled to give a regular supply of water during the dry season, which usually extends from June till September. RECLAMATION. The study of the high water on the Coquitlam river, in view of reclaiming the lands which are yearly flooded by the overflowing of the banks of this river, has been given considerable attention this year. Discharge data has been obtained for the year since January 25th. Other streams are listed in the report. The study of the stream flow of Lillooet river has been continued to ascertain the amount of water to be taken care of in the reclaiming of some forty square miles of good agricultural land at the head of Lillooet lake. WATER POWER DEVELOPMENTS. / The water power developed on the streams investigated by this survey has been discussed in previous papers. WATER POWER POSSIBILITIES. Many inquiries are being received regarding the possibilities of the estab- lishment of electro-chemical manufacturing plants on or near the coast. During the year very few new investigations were started on power streams in the Coast division, as funds have not been available for the extension of work. There are many economical developments available. All streams which have been examined by this survey for the economical development of hydro-electric energy have been discussed in previous reports. The following list shows the present use and possible future uses of the water where gauging stations have been established, and indicates the reason for maintaining the station.

CHAPTER III. Kamloops Division. REPORT OF C. G. CLINE, B.A.Sc, DX.S. DIVISION ENGINEER. 31 7 GEORGE V SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e CHAPTER III. KAMLOOPS DIVISION. TERRITORY. Geography. — The Kamloops division consists of the southern central por- tion of British Columbia, and comprises the provincial land districts of Kamloops, Similkameen, Osoyoos and a small part of Yale. It includes the watershed of the Thompson river, and a portion of the Columbia River basin lying north of the International boundary and drained by the Kettle, Similkameen and Okan- agan rivers. The total area is 33,000 square miles. The division coincides approximately with what is known to geologists as the Interior Plateau region which extends from the Coast range of mountains on the west to the Gold range on the east, and has the two branches of the Cascade range to the south and south-west. Many characteristic features of the climate of this part of the province are directly traceable to these circum- stances of location and surroundings. Topography and Geology. — -The region is composed of extensive plateaus, numerous valleys, great and small, and broadly rounded summits with gently sloping sides. The general elevation of the plateaus is from 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea-level. The deeper valleys, which contain the main drainage systems of the country are at about 1,000 feet. The rounded summits rise as high as 6,000 and 7,000 feet, there is a very considerable range of altitude. I >.1\\ SOU f.ills, M 111 tic I i\ rl 25k— 3 34 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 The deeper valleys seem to have been scoured out by ice action or eioded by water. They are broadly U-shaped and are only partly occupied by the streams which flow through them. In certain cases, however, the streams have expanded into lakes, and fill practically the whole width of the valley bottom. The depth of the tributary valleys and the steepness of their slope toward the main drainage system, seem to depend on the size of the streams. The valleys of the large rivers have been worn down until the slope is comparatively small, whereas the valleys of the small creeks are not nearly as deep and often descend hundreds of feet in a few miles. If a small stream which has its source on a plateau or on the side of a mountain, flows directly into one of the main drainage rivers, its descent is necessarily very rapid; if it is tributary to a stream of inter- mediate size, its descent is generally more gradual. As a rule, the smaller streams have the steeper slopes and are often more important for many purposes than the larger ones. Alfalfa field beside South Thompson river, irrigated by pumping. CLIMATE. The Kamloops division is nearly all within the central dry belt. The winds from the Pacific ocean have been deprived of moisture on the western slope of the Coast range, and are heated as they descend to the plateau region. Winds from other directions are affected in a similar manner, so that they are generally capable of absorbing moisture. As a consequence, the climate is dry. The annual range of temperature is great, as is also the daily range in summer. A study of the following tables will give an idea of some of the features of the climate in this part of the province. They give the precipitation and temperature for the stations of the meteorological service which are in this division. The variations from the average arc also tabulated where the records extend over a period long enough to render tin- averages reliable. Murtle river, at Helmcken falls.

Archibald. 25u— 3i 36 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 It is well to bear in mind that most of these stations are located in the main valleys in the centres of population, and that very few are on the plateaus and none on the mountains. The stations at Edith lake above Kamloops, and at the Nickel Plate mine above Hedley, show very clearly the difference in temper- ature and precipitation caused by a difference of two or three thousand feet in altitude. Both these stations have lower temperatures and greater precipi- tations than the ones in the valley below them though they are only a few miles away. For any considerable watershed area, the mean monthly precipitation and the mean monthly temperature may differ a good deal from the figures obtained at the centre of population of that area. The influence of the mountain ranges is quite noticeable. Around Shuswap lake, which is just west of the Gold range, the precipitation is greatest, and it diminishes towards the south and west. There is a greater precipitation in the Thompson river. Irrigated lands, near Ashcroft. valley of the North Thompson river, than then- is .it Kamloops which has the valley of the South Thompson lying open to the cast. The precipitation is fairly large in the Similkameen valley, but not nearly as large as it is on the western side "I the Hope mountains. The effect of the mountains in increasing the precipitation is most noticeable on their western slopes, where the moisturc- bearing winds from the west are cooled as they ascend to higher altitudes. The tables giving the variation from the average afford a ready means of comparing the weather conditions of 1915 with those of other years. They show tl at the winter was much milder than usual, with a rather lighter precipi- tate a. Asa result, verj little snow remained on the hills till spring and it looked as though there mighl be a very considerable shortage of water. In the spring and summer, however, the precipitation was considerably heavier than usual so that the irrigationists and other water users had a fairly good supply. • BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 37 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e USES OF WATER. The general characteristics of the streams of this division previously men- tioned, have a considerable effect on the uses to which they are put. A large stream flowing with a small slope through a broad, fertile valley, provides an unfailing supply of water, but for most purposes it is at so low an elevation that it is not easily utilized. A smaller tributary stream, on the other hand, while carrying less water, will generally have such a steep slope that the water can be diverted and carried through a gravity system to the places where it is needed. In many localities, therefore, practically the whole flow of a small stream may be used and found insufficient, whereas a large stream close at hand may be used very little or not at all. In such cases an accurate measurement of the discharge of the smaller stream is more important from an irrigation viewpoint than the measurement of the larger one. One of the outstanding features of the use of water in this division is in the matter of irrigation. The large amount of sunshine and hot weather during the summer make ideal growing conditions, particularly in the larger valleys, but the small amount of precipitation, especially during the summer months, render irrigation necessary throughout nearly the whole division. On some of the higher lands, dry farming seems to be meeting with considerable success; but it is in the broad, fertile valleys that most of the farming is carried on, and it is there that irrigation is practiced so extensively. In the past, gravity supplies from the smaller streams have been given a marked preference, and no doubt these are the best where there is sufficient water. In certain localities, however, pumping plants are being installed to raise water from the large rivers and lakes on to land which could not be otherwise irrigated. Cheap hydro-electric power is quite an important factor in this development. The following list shows the present use or possible future uses of the water, where gauging stations have been established, and indicates the reason for maintaining the station.

CHAPTER IV. Nelson Division. REPORT OF C. E. RICHARDSON, B.A.Sc, D.L.S. DIVISION ENGINEER. II 7 GEORGE V, SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e A. 1917 CHAPTER IV. NELSON DIVISION. TERRITORY. Geography. — This division covers approximately 29,000 square miles of the south and eastern part of the province of British Columbia. The division might readily be called " Kootenay division" as it extends over practically all of that area known as Kootenay district. It is bounded on the north by the height of land connecting the summit of the Rockies with the summit of the Columbia or Gold mountains; on the west by the summit of the Columbia range; on the south by the 49th parallel of latitude or International boundary, and on the east by the backbone of the Rockies. This area is very mountainous, with numerous lakes, rivers and creeks, which afford innumerable opportunites for future water power development; there are three rivers, however, that con- stitute the drainage system of the whole division; these are the Columbia, the Kootenay and the Pend d'Oreille. The Columbia rises in the Columbia and Windermere lakes, 90 miles south- east of Golden and flows in a north-westerly direction for about 200 miles to the mouth of Canoe river at Big Bend, near the northerly limits of the division. From Canoe river the Columbia flows practically south for about 250 miles, past Revelstoke, through the beautiful Arrow lakes, crossing the International boundary near Waneta, B.C. Kootenay river rises in the Beaverfoot range of the Rockies, about 35 miles south-east of Golden and flows practically south for 175 miles, passing within one mile of Columbia lake and crossing the Inter- national boundary near Newgate, B.C. It flows through Montana into Idaho, entering West Kootenay 60 miles west of Newgate and 20 miles south of Koot- enay Landing, at which point the river loses itself in beautiful Kootenay lake. From the west arm of Kootenay lake the river flows in a south-westerly direction, discharging into Columbia river 20 miles north of the boundary. Pend d'Oreille river, of which Flathead river in East Kootenay is a tributary, has only a small portion of its drainage in Canada. It discharges into Columbia river about 200 yards above the International boundary. Hot springs are numerous, several being located in the vicinity of Winder- mere lakes, Halcyon, Ainsworth and other points. In the division three national parks are located — The Yoho, Glacier and Revelstoke. Each park has its outstanding features. Yoho with its Yoho valley, Takakkaw falls, natural bridge and Emerald lake; Glacier with llkvill ewaet, Grand and Gegic glaciers and mammoth snowfields; Revelstoke, with its prairie country near the summit of Mt. Revelstoke The chief industries are mining (of coal, gold, lead, silver, copper ami line) lumber (chiefly B.C. fir and western pine) and farming (mixed ami fruit). 44 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 Transportation facilities are afforded by the main line of the C.P.R. in the north, and various branch lines of the C.P.R. and Great Northern in the south. Navigation is carried on continuously on Kootenay and Arrow- lakes. Good roads are frequent in East Kootenay and government trails give access to other principal points of interest. TOPOGRAPHY. Mountain Systems. — The topography of Nelson division is relative to four mountain systems — the Rockies, the Purcells, the Selkirks and the Columbia range. The summit of the Rockies, which constitutes the eastern boundary of the division, consists of a well defined range studded with snow-capped peaks, many of which are well over 10,000 feet. The western slope includes various local ranges, mostly paralleling the main range. The more famous passes are Crows- nesl . Vermilion and Kicking Horse, about 5,000 feet at the divides. The larger rivers from south to north are the Elk, Bull, Kootenay, above Canal flats, Kicking Horse, Blaeberry and Bush. These streams, with the possible exception of the Bull, arc all glacial fed and the valleys generally are well timbered to an elevation of 7,000 feet. The Purcells constitute that system to the west of the Rockies bounded on the north by the confluence of Columbia and Beaver rivers, on the east by Columbia and Kootenay rivers, on the south by the Kootenay and on the west by the north-flowing portion of Kootenay river, Kootenay lake, Duncan river and Beaver riven The principal streams fed by the Purcells are, Goat, Movie, Vahk, St. Marys, Findlay, Dutch, Toby, Horsethief, Forsters (No. 2), Bugaboo. Spilli- macheen, Hammil and Fry. Main of these streams are glacial fed. The Selkirks extend southward from the Big Bend of Columbia river, lying between the Rockies and Purcells on the west and Columbia range on the east. The northern portion of the Selkirks are strikingly scenic, peaks are high and treacherous; passes are few. Rogers pass alone is well known. The more important rivers are Incomappleux, Akolkolex, Illecillewaet, Downie, Gold, and Mountain. Well known glaciers are the Illecillewaet or Great glacier, < .rand glacier and Gegic glacier. One mammoth snowfield feeds these glaciers. The summit of Columbia or Gold range forms the western boundary of this division. This system of mountains is less impressive than the three already described. The larger rivers are Inonoaklin, Whatshan, Arrowpark, Pingston, and Jordon. A few small glaciers may be found in the higher peaks. Trenches. — Between the ranges of mountains above mentioned there are these great depressions or trenches, namely, Rocky Mountain trench, Purcell trench and "Selkirk valley." Rocky Mountain trench lies between the Rockies and the Purcells in the south and Selkirk in the north of this division. It extends in Canada from the International boundary in a north-westerly direction as far north as Alaska and perhaps to the Arctic ocean. In Nelson division it is occupied by south- BRITISH COLUMBIA IIYDROMETRIC SVRYFA' 15 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e flowing Kootenay river, the north-flowing Columbia and Canoe rivers. The average width of its floor is 5 miles but in the neighborhood of St. Marys river, near Cranbrook, it is 16 miles wide and varies in width to the International boundary, affording in the plains possibilities for agriculture. Purcell trench, approximately 200 miles in length, separates Purcell range on the east from the Selkirks on the west. It is occupied by Beaver river, Dun- can river, Kootenay lake and north- flowing Kootenay river. On an average the valley is 2 to 5 miles wide. Selkirk valley or trench is occupied by Columbia river, flowing south, and the Arrow lakes. It is from 3 to 5 miles in width and separates the Selkirks on the east from Columbia or Gold range on the west. Upper Arrow lake is about 40 miles long and from 2 to 3 miles wide. The mountains rise abruptly to an Showing thickness of ice on Bi altitude of from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The lower lake is about 50 miles long and has an average width of 2 miles. There are pronounced falls on practically all the tributaries to the lakes. Geology. — Mining is by far the most important industry in this division. In 1913 and 1014 approximately two-thirds of the mine production of British Columbia was from the Kootenay-Boundary district. Gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc and coal arc mined in various localities, particularly in the southern part. CLIMATE. Run-off is relative directrj to-topographj and climate. Climatic conditions are themselves partially dependent on topography. In the stud) ol Btream 46 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 flow it is essential to be familiar with these two factors. The topography, how- ever, remains a constant factor and the variation in the flow of streams is due therefore directly to climatic conditions. In this division the peculiar topography affords a remarkable climate. It is impossible to assume that the climatic con- ditions at a certain point will be general in that neighborhood. On the other hand although there are marked variations in some sections a general resemblance may be seen between other localities. The following tables are appended: — 1. Monthly and yearly precipitation, 1915. 2. Differences from average precipitation. 3. Mean monthly and average temperatures, 1915. 4. Differences from average temperature. These tables are compiled from the monthly reports for 1915 of the Meteoro- logical Service, Mr. R. F. Stupart, director. In these tables a comparison is shown between 10 points, 5 in East Kootenay and 5 in West Kootenay. With the exception of Glacier and Fernie these points are all in the valleys of Columbia and Kootenay rivers — practically the lowest points in their respective localities. It must be remembered that the precipitation or temperature at any one of these points does not represent the precipitation or temperature in its locality. USES OF WATER. MUNICIPAL SUPPLY. In the Kootenays the mountain streams, lakes and springs generally afford an ample supply for municipal purposes without much difficulty being encoun- tered. It is essential, however, in many cases, that a study of the streams be made. The variation of the flow is so great that unless those interested are familiar with the streams, they will be deceived by appearances. Studies are now being carried on by this survey with regard to municipal supply and when possible any assistance will gladly be given interested parties. IRRIGATION. The scarcity of agricultural land and the richness of the soil necessitates the utilization of all available land in an attempt to fulfil the demands of the local markets. With the exception of small plots here and there, the valleys of Columbia and Kootenay rivers afford the only location of agricultural lands. The largest farming district is in the Rocky mountain trench (see description under topography) from Spillimacheen south to the International boundary. Irrigation is practised to some extent in the valleys throughout the whole division. It is essential in East Kootenay, south of Spillimacheen. In the vicinity of Edgewater and Athalmer two companies, holding large tracts of land, installed irrigation systems, which include over 30 miles of flume. At present systematic records during the irrigation season are being obtained on approximately 15 irrigation streams. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 47 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e MINING. In the operation of practically all mines the use of water is essential. After the ore is mined and shipped to the smelter, water and water power become an important factor. Various requests have come in during the year for information on small streams for mining purposes. Where possible information is supplied, but these streams are so numerous that it is hard to tell upon which information will be required. RECLAMATION. There are two large reclamation projects in this division — on the Columbia between Golden and Spillimacheen, and on the Kootenay above Kootenay lake. The former is at present under way, surveys have been made and plans submitted. This scheme deals with the reclamation of about 15,000 acres. The Kootenay fiats reclamation is an international affair, including probably more land in the United States than in British Columbia. The required surveys, etc., have not as yet been made. Systematic and reliable stream flow data is being obtained in connection with these projects on the Columbia, near Golden and Kootenay river, at the outlet of the lake, near Xelson. WATER POWER DEVELOPMENT. A rather complete list of water power developments was published in the report of the division engineer, Kootenay Boundary division, in Water Resources Paper No. 8. These powers were listed under "Mining" and under "Hydro- electric Developments." Since that list was published no large plants have been installed. Various small powers of from 100 to 500 H.P. have since been utilized for mining purposes and improvements and additions have been made to some of the larger plants. The West Kootenay Light and Power Co. have remodelled their plant at lower Bonnington Falls to accommodate the demand for power of the new zinc smelter at Trail. The City of Revelstoke have re- modelled their municipal plant and installed a new turbine and generator, which greatly increases the efficiency of the plant. Power is used extensively for mining. Of the total installation, probably in excess of 40,000 horse power, over 30,000 horse power is used for mining and smelting. Installations in this division are comparatively cheap, due to the pronounced falls and canyons on most of the streams. water Power possibilities. Water Power possibilities throughout the Kootenay are innumerable and dozens of unnoticed sites would be in demand were they located in other parts of the Dominion. The topographic conditions afford in most cases a high head at considerably less than the average cost for ( Canada. The combination <>t the climatic and topographic conditions on the Other hand is often a detriment. The variation in flow is extreme, a heavy freshet generally occurring in May. June or July, and very Iom water with frazil ice occurring in February and March. is DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 A careful study of the characteristics of each individual stream is essential before any plant is installed. The streams throughout this division are most deceptive and it is not safe to estimate the run < >ff i >f any one stream from a study of its next door neighbor. The following list shows the present use and possible future uses of the water where gauging stations have been established, and indicates the reason for main- taining the station.

CHAPTER V. Fort George District. REPORT OF J. A. ELLIOTT, B.A.Sc. DISTRICT ENGINEER. 51 7 GEORGE V SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e A. 1917 CHAPTER V. FORT GEORGE DISTRICT. TERRITORY. Geography. — The completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway opens up a large portion of central British Columbia for settlement and development. This railway enters British Columbia through the Yellowhead pass at about latitude 53°, and traversing the province in a north-westerly direction it crosses the 55th parallel near Hazelton, there turning south-west it reaches the Pacific coast at Prince Rupert, near latitude 54°. The Fort George district covers the territory adjacent to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, between the Rocky mountains and the coast. The district is divided by the Great Interior plateau into two main drainage basins — the Fraser and the Skeena. The Fraser river rises near the summit of the Yellowhead pass at an altitude of 3,710 feet. Flowing due west it falls 1,300 feet in 52 miles; near Tete Jaune it turns north-west and flows through the "Inter-montane" valley to about latitude 54° ; at Fort George it receives the waters of the Nechako river and then turns westward and southward. Near Fort George it is at an altitude of 1,900 feet — a descent of 500 feet in about 200 miles. The Nechako, the largest northern affluent of the Fraser, is 255 miles long. It rises on the eastern slope of the Interior plateau and drains several large lakes, including Ootsabunkut, 40 miles long, Cheslatta, 25, Francais, 60, and Fraser, 12 miles. About 50 miles from its confluence with the Fraser, the Nechako receives the waters of its northern tributary, Stuart river, which is 220 miles long and drains two large lakes, — Stuart lake with an area of 221 square miles and Tacla, 135 square miles. The Skeena basin drains all the land west of the Great plateau. The Skeena river rises on the eastern slope of the Coast range at about latitude 57° and flows almost directly south for about 175 miles; near Hazelton it turns south-west and flows through the Coast range for 154 miles to the Pacific ocean, being the first river north of the Fraser to cut across this range of mountains. About 35 miles north of Hazelton the Babine river flows into the Skeena. The Babine rises in Babine lake, which has an area of 306 square miles. It drains the north- eastern slope of the Babine range. At Hazelton the Skeena receives the waters of the Bulkley river. This river rises near the summit of the Great plateau and flows in a north-westerly direction to its confluence with the Skeena. Topography. — The upper Fraser river flowing west from Yellowhead 1 lies in an "Inter-montane" valley between the Selwyn range and the Rainbow mountains, a part of the great Rocky Mountain system. The Rainbow mountains are composed of a group of high snow-capped peaks, notable among which are, — Mount Mowat (9,293 feet), Mount Kain (9,392 feet), Mount Resplendent (11,178 feet), Lynx Mountain (10,471), Mount Helmet (11,160 feet) and Mount Robson (13,700 feet), the highest peak and greatest mass in the Canadian Rockies. 54 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 The most prominent peaks in the Sehvyn group are Mount Geikie (11,016 feet) and Mount Fitzwilliam (9,747 feet). Chain gauge and measuring section, on Skeena, at Hazeiton. Measurements are made from the Indian dugout canoe shown in the foreground, points of observation being marked by a tag line. Fifteen-foot falls, on Fraser river, near Albreda. It is from the snowfields and glaciers of the Rainbow mountains that the upper Fraser river receives its great volume of water. Moose river, a tributary, BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 55 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e flowing from the eastern slopes of Resplendent, Kain and Lynx mountains has a fall of about 150 feet in Rainbow canyon, near its mouth. To the west and north of Mount Robson lies the valley of the Grand Fork of the Fraser river, part of which is known as the "Valley of a Thousand Falls," where the famous Emperor falls are located. West of the Rainbow mountains the "Inter-montane" valley becomes a little wider and the flanking mountains less massive and predominant ; on the north it is still bounded by the Rocky mountains, but the south by the lower and less massive Cariboo range, which is separated from the Selwyn range by McLellan river, flowing north to the Fraser, and Canoe river, flowing south to the Columbia. The streams rising in the Caribou range are not of great length or fall. Near Fort George, the Fraser, turning southward, flows between the Cariboo range on the east and the Telegraph range on the west. The Telegraph range is not very prominent, being the height of land of the Great Interior plateau, dividing the watersheds of Nechako and Chilcotin rivers. The Nechako river, flowing into the Fraser at Fort George, drains a great basin, which is said by geologists to be an old lake bed. This basin now contains many large lakes. On the south-west it is bounded by the lower Telegraph and Fawnie ranges and the heights of the Interior plateau; to the west lies the Coast range, and on the north and east the upper Nechako valley is confined by the Omineca mountains and the ridge between the Parsnip and Stuart valleys. Throughout the Nechako district there are no very great differences in elevation. The Bulkley valley is more undulating and varies from four to ten miles in width. On the north-east it is bounded by the Babine mountains and on the south-west by the Hudson bay and massive Rochers DeBoules mountains. The streams rising in the Rochers DeBoules mountains are short in length but contain many falls and rapids. The upper Skeena valley lies between the Coast and Cassiar ranges. The Cassiar range at the south being terminated by the Babine river valley. West- ward from Hazelton the Skeena valley cuts the Coast range transversely. The bounding mountains are high and clearly outlined, the valley is narrow and deep. Many of the streams of this district have considerable fall and pass through canyons in the deep valleys. The relative elevations of points in the Skeena and Fraser drainage basins may be well shown by the following altitudes at points along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway: — Feet 240 - Bulkley 1353 Hubert (000 1053 2366 2,097 1,021 2.870 2,400 3.610 56 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 Geology. — There is little known at "present of the geological formation of the district, very little mapping having been done. The mineral deposits in many parts of the district are known to be very rich. On the east, in the Rocky mountains and Cariboo range, copper and gold are found in several places, though no extensive mining has yet been carried on. Placer gold may be found in nearly all the streams of the Cariboo range. Mica is found in large quantities near Tete Jaune cache, and marble near McBride. Several large discoveries of metalliferous veins have been found in the Bulkier and Skeena valleys and are especially predominant in the Hudson bay, Rochers DeBoules and Babine mountains. Silver-lead and chalcopyrite are the principal valuable minerals present. Zinc-blende, pyrite, arseno-pyrite and stibnite are also associated in this formation. Very little development has yet been done on any of the properties. However, owing to the impetus given to the metal market by the present war, development work is now being prose- cuted on many properties in preparation for shipping. The Rochers DeBoules Copper Company have opened up a large mine near Hazelton and are now shipping large quantities of ore to the smelters. The Silver-Standard, near Hazelton, and the Cordillera Copper Mine, near Usk, have done considerable development and have recently entered the shipping lists. Thin streaks of bituminous coal are found in considerable areas in the Bulkley and Telkwa river valleys. CLIMATE. The warm Japan current, flowing south along the coast of British Columbia, has a moderating influence on the climate of the central interior of the province. Warm winds penetrate the deep inlets and following the low passes at their heads spread over the Great Central plateau. Very little meteorological data is obtainable, as yet, in this district. The only point at which rainfall and snowfall observations have been observed for any length of time is at Fort St. James, on Stuart river. The Dominion Meteor- logical Bureau recently established observation stations at New Hazelton, Fort St. James, and Central Fort George. Tables showing precipitation and temperature at these stations are appended hereto. USES OF WATER. The settlement along the greater part of the Grand Trunk Pacific being very recent, there has as yet been little commercial or industrial development of the water resources. The chief industries in this district are farming, mining and lumbering. Many small towns have been established along the railway at the central points of the various districts. MUNICIPAL SUPPLY. At present most of these towns are of such recent growth that no plants for distribution of water have been constructed, however this is a question of vital importance to every community and in several cases investigations are being made to determine the best source of municipal supply. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDRO METRIC SURVEY 57 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e IRRIGATION. Farming will no doubt be the chief industry of this part of the province. In many parts of the district, land is rapidly being taken up by settlers. Agri- cultural development of every kind is being prosecuted. Irrigation is practi- cally unnecessary throughout the district, but where desired, an adequate supply may always be obtained from any of the numerous small streams. WATER POWER DEVELOPMENTS AND POSSIBILITIES. The power possibilities of this district are as yet unknown. At the present time there are only two hydro-electric plants in the district. Woodworth Lake. The city of Prince Rupert has installed a 1650 horse-power hydro-electric plant at Woodworth lake to generate light and power for the municipality. Water is diverted from the lake through a 45-inch pipe line 7,800 feet long, and operates under a head of 330 feet. The pipe line is also used as a means of auxiliary supply to the municipal water system. Juniper Creek. The Rochers DeBoules Copper Company have installed a small hydro- electric plant on Juniper creek, near Hazel ton, in connection with the develop- ment of their mines. Water is carried from Juniper creek through a wood stave pipe 3,783 feet long and is delivered to a Pelton-Doble wheel under an effective head of 178 feet. A splendid example of the latent power of the district is given by the Bulkley river, which flows in a deep, narrow canyon for 30 miles from its mouth and falls 1 ,000 feet in this distance.

Gauge. — Vertical gauge staff above intake. Daily gauge readings by Mr. Wm. Morrison, the caretaker of the city intake. Channel. — Rocky bed, water swift in high stages. At low water a temporary dam is placed in the channel below the gauge, causing backwater. A subsidiary gauge has been installed for low water stages beyond the effect of this dam. Discharge Measurements. — Fifteen discharge measurements taken in 1914 and 1915 give a well defined rating curve. Winter Flow. — Open water all year. Accuracy. — "C." A change in gauge was made in June, which will increase future accuracy. Co-operation. — Gauge readings by employees of the Vancouver Waterworks department.

Location. — One mile above mouth, in section 2, township 39, west of the coast meridian. Records Available. — Daily discharges from January 25, 1915, to December, 1915. Drainage Area. — One hundred and fifteen square miles above metering section. Taken from provincial map 1913 — (scale — 3 miles to the inch). Gauge. — Chain gauge on highway bridge at Westminster Junction. The gauge is read daily by Mr. C. Galor. Channel. — Gravelly bottom, good control, water dead at low stages. Discharge Measurements. — Five discharge measurements taken in 1915 give a well defined rating curve. Winter Flow. — The stream is affected by ice only in very cold weather, which occurs but seldom. Accuracy. — "B." Coquitlam River. — (1066). Coquitlam river rises in Disappointment lake and flows in a southerly direc- tion through Coquitlam lake, discharging into the Fraser river about three miles above New Westminster. The chief tributary is Gold creek, which enters about one and a half mile from the outlet of Coquitlam lake. The total drainage area is about one hundred and fifteen square miles. A large part of the flow of Coquitlam river is diverted through a tunnel into lake Buntzen and from there carried down in penstocks to a power house situated on the north arm of Burrard Inlet, operated by the British Columbia Electric Railway Company. The station is established at the highway bridge in the town of Port Coquit- lam. The purpose of this station is to determine the maximum flow in the channel near Port Coquitlam. The river at this point overflows its banks during the freshets, and, apart from being a constant menace to public safety, renders a large tract of land practically useless. It is altogether probable that eventually this land will be reclaimed by controlling the flow of the stream. 78 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 Daily Gauge Height and Discharge of Coquitlam River at Westminster Jet. for IQ15.

Flume creek rises in the mountains to the west of the Mesliloet river and dis- charges into the Mesliloet river at an elevation of about 250 feet. The annual precipitation in the Flume creek watershed is probably between 120 and 150 inches. In the higher altitudes there are snow fields which remain practically all the year. With a fairly mild temperature in the lower altitudes, the stream is seldom frozen over and is seldom affected by ice for more than a few weeks during the coldest part of the winter. The drainage basin of Flume creek is very rough and precipitous. The stream having a very rapid fall, a small quantity of power could be developed very cheaply. The watershed is heavily timbered with fir and cedar. During 1912 and 1913, the stream was used by the Hastings Shingle Company to provide water for a shingle bolt flume. A metering station was established at the mouth by this survey in July, 1915 at the request of the Westminster Power Company. Discharge Measurements of Flume Creek at Mouth for 191 5. Date. Engineer.

Winter Flow. — The stream is affected by ice during the winter months. Accuracy. — "C." Gauge was out of order for a short period. Skagit River. — (1055). The Skagit river rises in the mountains about 30 miles south-east of Hope and discharges into the Gulf of Georgia. Some of the mountains in its water- shed rise to an elevation of 6,000 feet. It crosses the International boundary about 44 miles south-east of Hope. About 360 square miles of its drainage basin are in Canada. The precipitation in the Skagit river basin is probably about 90 inches per annum. In the winter the snowfall is fairly heavy. The stream freezes over in many places and is usually affected by ice during January and February. The Boundary pack trail follows the Skagit river from the Hope-Princeton trail to the boundary, a distance of about 20 miles. When the Pacific high- way is completed it will greatly facilitate transportation in this part of the countrv. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 101 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e There is very little development or settlement in the Skagit river valley, in Canada. There are some mining prospects but little more than assessment work has been done as yet. The valley near the boundary has some possibilities as a stock raising country. There is a proposal to divert water from the Sumallo river, a tributary of the Skagit, into the lakes which feed the Nicolum river. This would augment the flow of the Nicolum sufficiently to make a power development practicable. It is possible to obtain a head of 2,000 feet. In connection with the above-mentioned plan of development, this survey has established four gauging stations, located, as follows; the Skagit river, four miles from the boundary, the Sumallo river, one mile from its mouth, the Sumallo river, eight miles from its mouth, and the Nicolum river, five miles from its mouth. A Gurley automatic gauge was installed on the Skagit river, four miles from the boundary, in March, 1915. Discharge Measurements of Skagit River 4 Miles above International Boundary for 1 91 5. Date.

Brandywine River. — (1065). Location. — Highway Bridge, above Falls; 27 miles from Squamish. Records Available. — Daily discharges from May 26. 1915, to December 31, 1915. Drainage Area. — Not determined. Gauge. — Vertical staff. Gauge readings are taken daily by Mr. G. C. Turpin. Channel. — Rocky, and covered with boulders. The control is good. Discharge Measurements. — Six meter measurements, taken during 1915, give a well denned rating curve except for very high stages of the water. Winter Flow. — The stream is affected by ice during the winter months. Accuracy. — "B." Brandywixe River. — (1065). The Brandywine river rises in the mountains, north of Squamish, and discharges into the Cheakamus river about eighteen miles above the mouth. On the Brandywine watershed the climate is much similar to that of the Cheakamus valley. The total annual precipitation is about ninety inches. The main line of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway crosses the stream about a mile from its mouth. Just below the railway trestle the river has a perpendicular fall of about two hundred feet. With a minimum discharge of forty cubic feet a second, about 600 horse-power could be developed very cheaply. This might well be used as a temporary power plant for a larger development on the Cheakamus river. The surrounding country contains many mineral deposits and, although considerable prospecting is being done at the present time, very few claims have been developed to any extent. There is a small quantity of timber and a little agricultural land near the mouth of the stream. Discharge Measurements of Brandywine River I Mile above Mouth for 1915. Date. Engineer.

Channel. — Boulders and gravel, with good control. Discharge Measurements. — Three discharge measurements give a well defined rating curve for the range of the stream. Winter Flow. — The gauge is only read during the irrigation season. Accuracy.— "B." Foster Bar Creek. — (1074). Foster Bar creek rises in the mountains south-west of Lillooet, flows in a south-westerly direction and discharges into the Fraser river, twenty-three miles below Lillooet, at an elevation of 450 feet. The drainage area is twenty square miles. The climate in the watershed of this stream is much similar to that of the Lillooet district. The summers are hot and the winters rather severe. The mean annual precipitation is about ten inches. This increases very much with the altitude. The Fraser river benches adjacent to the mouth of this stream are well suited to cultivation when irrigated. At present the normal flow of the stream is being used for this purpose. So far no investigations have been made with a view to storing the high water flow.

Pavilion creek rises in the mountains west of Pavilion, flows in a south- westerly direction and discharges into the Fraser river twenty-two miles above Lillooet. It drains Pavilion lake which is about three miles long and a third of a mile wide. It has two large tributaries, both entering from the right. The total drainage area of Pavilion creek is 82 square miles. The climate in the Pavilion creek valley resembles that of the Lillooet district generally. The summers are very hot, and the winters severe. The mean annual precipitation in the watershed is about ten inches. The valley of Pavilion creek and its tributaries, and the adjacent benches on the Fraser river are well adapted to cultivation by irrigation; the water from the stream being used for this purpose. Some attempt has been made to regulate the flow to give sufficient water for the low water season. A small timber dam BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDRO METRIC SURVEY 133 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e at the outlet of the lake stores the water which comes down during the spring and early summer freshets. When this water is required a sluice gate in the dam is opened and the water is allowed to flow down the natural channel of the stream to the irrigation ditches. Considerable water is diverted from the tributaries which are above the gauging station. The discharge data given for this stream is computed from the flow at the metering section and does not include water diverted above the section.

BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e 203 Winter Flow. — Ice conditions generally prevail throughout winter months. Accuracy. — There is a certain amount of indefiniteness about the location of the rating curve between discharges of 20 and 60 cubic feet per second. The curve is quite indefinite above 80 cubic feet per second also, but the discharge only exceeded that amount for two days. Discharge Measurements of Monte Creek below Diversion to Summit Lake.

Location. — At the Clearwater trail crossing, 15 miles below Murtle lake and about 50 miles by trail from the Canadian Northern Railway, at Raft River, post office. A 50-mile trip by pack trail is necessary after leaving the railway Records Available. — Gauge readings have been taken since September 1914, which will be available when -the station is completely rated. Drainage Area. — Only part of the watershed of the Murtle river has been surveyed, and there is hardly enough data available to make a close estimate of the drainage area. Gauge. — A Gurley Automatic Water Stage Register was installed in Novem- ber 1915. This gauge prints the stage to the nearest hundredth of a foot every 15 minutes. Before November, a chain gauge was in use, read four times a week by P. McDougall. Channel. — The bed of the stream is composed of rocks and gravel and is very smooth and even. The water is quite swift. Discharge Measurements. — Three measurements have been made during 1914 and 1915 which locate the rating curve for low stages. A cable car was erected in May 1915 and it will now be possible to get high water measurements. Accuracy. — The results computed should be fairly accurate. In future, with an automatic gauge and a cable car, it should be possible to get very precise results. Discharge Measurements of Murtle River 20 Miles above Helmcken Falls. Date. Engineer.

Adams River.— (2000). Location. — Section 6, township 23, range 12, west 6th meridian. Records Available. — July and August 1911; and continuous records since January 1, 1912. Drainage Area. — One thousand six hundred square miles. Gauge. — Gurley Automatic Gauge installed October 17, 1914, to replace vertical staff gauge previously in use. The frequent changes of the gates in the dam at the outlet of the lake made it difficult to get reliable results without an automatic gauge. Channel. — The meter measurements are made just above the dam where the channel is suitable; width from 300 to 500 feet, with velocity less than 3.0 feet per second. The gauge is located below the dam with a permanent natural control and swift water. Discharge Measurements. — Twelve meter measurements taken during 1911, -13-14-15, well distributed over the whole range of stage except for dis- charges above 6000 cubic feet per second. Winter Flow. — Even in very cold weather the river does not seem to freeze over at the gauge, nor does the water freeze in the gauge well, so that open water conditions obtain all winter. Accuracy. — With a rating curve very well defined except for very high dis- charges and an automatic gauge recording the stage to the nearest hundredth of a foot every fifteen minutes, the records should be exceptionally accurate. The recorded flow, however, is not the natural flow of the stream, as it is regulated by the storage dam at the outlet of the lake. Discharge Measurements of Adams River below Adams Lake. Date.

Location. — Three hundred feet above Okanagan Falls; Water District No. 4. Records Available. — April 8 to December 31, 1914; at original station near Fairview; January 1 to December 31, 1915, at Okanagan Falls. Gauge. — The gauging station was transferred on March 17, 1915, from its original location near Fairview to its present position above Okanagan Falls, on account of the shifting channel at the old station. Gauge readings for 1915, prior to the change, have been transferred to the new station. A standard vertical staff gauge six feet long has been installed and is read four or five times a week by A. S. Hatfield, stage driver. Channel. — The bed of the stream at the gauge is composed of clean gravel and the current is moderately slow at all stages. An excellent control is formed by the brink of the falls. Discharge Measurements. — Four meter measurements have been taken during 1915 and they cover the entire range of stage except between discharges of 500 and 1,000 cubic feet per second. Winter Flow. — Open water conditions obtained all year round during 1915. Accuracy. — The results should be quite reliable and within the limits of error indicated for the various months.

Channel. — Rocks and gravel; current swift. Discharge Measurements. — Fourteen measurements made during 1912-13 and -15 agree fairly well and cover the whole range of stage except below discharge of 2 cubic feet per second. Winter Flow. — Ice conditions obtain during the three winter months, but as the stream is only used for irrigation it is not necessary to keep up the records during the winter. Accuracy. — "B" and "C." Gauge readings are only taken twice a week; the rating curve is subject to a certain indefiniteness at very low stages (below 2 cubic feet per second).

Location. — At Merritt; Water District No. 3. Records Available. — June 16 to December 31, 1911; January 31 to Decem- ber 31, 1912; January 1 to December 31, 1913; January 1 to December 31, 1914; April 1 to December 31, 1915. Drainage Area. — One thousand five hundred square miles. Gauge.— Standard vertical staff gauge read tri-weekly by Miss C. A. Seaton. Channel. — The bed of the stream is gravelly and the flow is in two channels during high water. The channel seems to be shifting considerably. Discharge Measurements. — Between discharges of 200 and 1,200 cubic feet per second, the rating curve has been located by four measurements made during 1915. For lower discharges a comparison was made with the station on the Xicola river, near Xicola lake, and on the Coldwater river. For higher discharges, the 1914 measurements were used. Winter Flow. — Open conditions usually prevail most of the winter. Accuracy. — "C." The accuracy is somewhat impaired by the shifting of the .channel and also by the fact that the gauge readings are not taken every daw Discharge Measurements of Xicola River at Merritt. Date.

'.It'll 1 429 3.060 2.227.900 Fry Creek.— (3070). Location. — The section is located about % mile above mouth of creek, and about }/2 mile above canyon, about 2 miles from Johnston's Landing. Records Available. — December 1914, and all of 1915. Drainage Area. — Not determined. Climatic Conditions. — Summers are hot and generally dry in July and August; the winters are mild. The temperature seldom goes below zero. The snowfall is not heavy, but there is considerable rainfall in spring and fall. The creek freezes over during cold spells, but seldom for more than two weeks at a time. Frazil ice is a possibility. Gauge. — The gauge is just below canyon, and is painted on a sloping rock. Mr. W. Holmgren reads the gauge weekly. Channel. — Straight for about 200 feet above the cable station, and for 100 feet below. The bed is of broken rock formation. Current swift. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 data has been prepared from a rating curve based on five measurements during the year. These were, with one exception, made from cable car. Accuracy. — This stream has its source near or in the summit of the Purcell mountains, and is subject to considerable variation. As gauge readings were only made once a week no accuracy can be given at present. General. — Fry creek is the third largest tributary to Kootenay lake. It has its source about 20 miles from the mouth, in the summit of the Purcells. It is a mountain torrent, with extreme high flow in the summer months, and a very low flow in winter. There are good power possibilities at the canyon, particularly for 9 months of the year. Placer mining has been carried on for several years, and it is contended that there is still gold in the bed.

Location. — At footbridge, about 1 mile above the mouth, and about 2 miles south-east of Howser. Records Available. — -June to November, 1915. Drainage Area. — Not determined. Climatic Conditions. — Considerable rainfall in spring and fall. Winters and summers temperate. It is probable that at the source in the higher altitudes the precipitation is heavy. Gauge. — A vertical staff read three times a week by Mr. C. Malloch. Channel. — Very swift water, running over a bed of boulders. Discharge Measurements. — A measurement was made in November 1914; and three in 1915, and on these the present data has been based. , Accuracy. — "D." This stream is a mountain torrent. At low water it is difficult to get measurements with precision. At high water it is practically impossible. Hence the accuracy will not be guaranteed but is thought to be within 20 per cent. General. — Glacier creek rises in the Purcell mountains, flows westerly, and empties into the Duncan river about 2 miles below Howser. It is only about 12 miles in length but it carries considerable water, especially during June, July, August and September. There are timber resources, and a number of promising mineral claims in this vicinity. Discharge Measurements of Glacier Creek at Hawser for IQ15. Date. 1914 Nov. 27 1916 July 21 Oct. 27 Engineer.

Records Available. — June to December, 1915. Drainage Area. — Not determined. Climatic Conditions. — Considerable rainfall during spring and fall. Winters and summers temperate. Gauge. — A vertical staff, attached to buttress just above the measuring section, was read daily by Mr. W. R. Colegrave. Channel. — At the section the water has an even How with a control about 100 yards below, which appears more or less permanent. Discharge Measurements. — Four well distributed measurements were ob- tained, and on these the rating curve has been based. Accuracy. — "A" and "B." Gauge readings and measurements are reliable, the results should be within 5 and 10 per cent. General. — Inonoaklin creek is about 20 miles long, and drains the Fire valley which is fairly well settled and has great agricultural possibilities. The creek empties into the Lower Arrow lake, near Edgewood, and is important as a possible source of water supply and power. About half a mile from the mouth a drop of 30 feet or more occurs.

As sauce readings were only made twice a week the accuracies cannot be guaranteed closer than 2091 ■ Kootenay River. — (3075). Location. — The gauge is located below the tail-race of the West Kootenay Power and Light Company's plant No. 2, at Upper Bonnington. 10 miles west of Nelson, and about 15 miles above the mouth of the Kootenay. Records Available. — October, 1907, to October, 1915, through the courtesy of the above-mentioned company. Drainage Area. — Seventeen thousand eight hundred square miles. Climatic Conditions. — These are similar to Nelson (see Kootenay river. Nelson). The river never freezes over, and very little, if any, frazil ice is formed. Gauge. — A vertical staff, below the tail-race, read daily by Mr. G. L. Thomp- son, of the West Kootenay Power and Light Company. Method of Compilation. — The discharge curve is obtained by subtracting the discharge of Slocan river from the discharge of Kootenay river, near Glade. Accuracy. — "B." Not guaranteed, owing to the difficulties with Slocan River curve, to be closer than 10 per cent.

Location. — The gauge is located at Astley's wharf, Nelson, 25 miles above the mouth of river. Records Available. — 1913-14-15. Drainage Area. — Seventeen thousand seven hundred square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Winters are mild, with light snowfall. Occasionally the west arm of the lake freezes over. The summers are temperate, with occas- ional hot days, but the evenings are always cool. Precipitation is heaviest during the spring and fall. July, August and September are considered the dry months. Gauge. — A vertical staff, 20 feet long, and read daily by Mr. W. F. Mawdsley. Method of Compilation. — The discharge curve is obtained by subtracting the discharge of Slocan river from the discharge of the Kootenay, near Glade, allowing for the inflow between Nelson and Glade, which is less than 1 per cent. Accuracy. — "B." Cannot be guaranteed, owing to the difficulties with the Slocan river rating curve, to be closer than 10 per cent.

Location. — The gauging section is located 9 miles above the mouth, near Mr. A. G. Lang's ranch, in the vicinity of Waneta. Records Available. — May, 1913, to September, 1915. Drainage Area. — Twenty-six thousand six hundred square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Precipitation is light over practically all of the Pend d'Oreille drainage area. The summers are hot and fairly dry, the winters mild, temperature seldom going below zero. The river, in Canada, seldom freezes over, and frazil ice will not be a serious factor. Gauge. — Vertical staff gauges were used and read two or three times weekly, except during high water (when daily readings were taken), by Mr. A. G. Lang. Channel. — The Pend d'Oreille, through Canada, is very swift, and there are few, if any, favorable metering sections. The section chosen is very fast in high water, but satisfactory at low water, and appears to have a permanent control. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 rating curve is based on six measure- ments in 1913, three in 1914, and six in 1915. Accuracy. — "A," "B" and "C." Readings, as a rule, were only taken two or three times weekly, and high water measurements were not altogether satis- factory, therefore, the results cannot be guaranteed closer than 15 per cent, though at the lower stages of the water it is thought to be within 5 and 10 per cent.

Location. — Section 29, township 28, range 22, west of 5th meridian, 11 miles north of Golden, about 1 mile from the mouth, on downstream side of C.P.R. bridge. Records Available.— 1912-13-14-15. Drainage Area. — Three hundred and twenty-five square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Summers hot and dry, with occasional heavy rains. Winters severe, with light snowfall. Ice conditions exist generally from Novem- ber 15 to April 1. Gauge. — Vertical staff, read three times a week by H. M. Cooper, until July, when chain gauge was established. Channel. — Straight for 50 yards above and below station. Water runs swiftly and is controlled by a sand-bar, about 100 yards downstream. This bar pro- bably shifts. Exceedingly high water on the Columbia may affect gauge readings. Discharge Measurements. — Measurements are made from downstream side of railway bridge. 1915 data is compiled from one measurement in 1913, five in 1914, and five in 1915. Accuracy. — "C." As gauge readings are not taken daily results are con- sidered only within 15 per cent. Discharge Measurements of Blaeberry River at Moberly (For Curve). Date. Engineei Meter No. Width.

The creek usually freezes over in November and does not open again till April. Gauge. — A vertical staff, nailed to pier of bridge, and read in the open season by Mr. Jas. Montgomery, daily. Channel. — Straight, 100 feet above and below gauge. Current swift during freshet. One channel during low water and two at high water. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 rating curve is based on three measure- ments in 1912, six in 1913, three in 1914, and four in 1915. Accuracy. — "B" and "C." The control is apparently permanent, daily readings are made, and the 1915 curve appears reliable. Above gauge height of 1.4 the results should be within 10 per cent, and below 1.4 15 per cent.

Location. — Station is in section 12, township 27, range 22, west of 5th meridian, 1 mile from Golden. Records Available. — During the open season from 1903 to 1915. Gauge heights from 1903 to 1911 were obtained through the courtesy of the Columbia River Lumber Company. One ice measurement made in February, 1912, gave a discharge of 795 c.f.s., and one made in February, 1914, gave a discharge of 894 c.f.s. Drainage Area. — Two thousand five hundred square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Summers are warm and dry. Winters severe. Ice conditions generally exist from the middle of November till the end of March. Frazil ice is to be expected. Gauge. — A vertical staff read daily during open season by Mr. J. T. Wood. Channel. — The section is located in the middle of a straight stretch of river of 1 ,500 feet. At low water there is a pronounced riffle 300 yards below gauge, but this disappears at high water. Discharge Measurements. — Measurements made from cable car. The 1915 rating curve is based -on eighteen measurements made during 1911-12-13-14-15. Accuracy. — "C." Gauge readings are good. 1915 results should be within 15 per cent.

Records Available.— 1911-12-13-14-15. Drainage Area. — Four hundred and eighty square miles. Climatic Conditions. — At Revelstoke the precipitation from December 1, 1913, to November 30, 1914, was approximately 40.5 inches. The snowfall is approximately 10 feet, and the precipitation during the months December to March was 18 inches, practically all of which would be snow at higher altitudes. The winters are not severe, being seldom below 10 degrees Fahr. Frazil ice may be expected. The summer days are very hot, sometimes going as high as 100 degrees Fahr. Gauge. — A chain gauge, referenced to two bench marks is used and read by Miss S. Moran, about 1 mile above the measuring section. Channel. — -The section at the gauge is very fast in high water, and at the measuring section there is a possibility of backwater from the Columbia during high flow. The control at the gauge appears permanent. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 data is based on a rating curve prepared from one measurement in 1913, ten in 1914, and four in 1915. Accuracy. — "B" and "D." Daily readings were obtained, results should be within 10 per cent. Discharge Measurements of Illecillewaet River at Revelstoke {For Curve). Date. Engineer.

Location. — The station is in township 28, range 18, west of 5th meridian, below the mouth of Yoho river, on first traffic bridge, about Qy± miles east of Field. Records Available. — Open season, 1912-13-14-15. Drainage Area. — One hundred and thirty square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Summers are short, with some very hot days, and nights generally cool. The rainfall in summer months varies greatly, but is usually much less in July and August than in June. Winters are cold, with occasional severe storms. The river, near Field, is generally frozen for three or four months, and frazil ice is to be expected. Gauge. — A chain gauge is read daily by Mr. Wm. Tarr, of Field. Channel. — The channel is straight for 50 yards above and below station, the current is swift during freshet, the control is fairly permanent, but shifted slightly in 1915. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 rating curve was prepared from twenty- seven well-distributed measurements. Accuracy.— "C" and "D." Gauge readings are reliable, and the measure- ments are accurate, and though a slight shift was noted, results are considered to be within 15 per cent.

Records Available. — 1914 and 1915. Drainage Area. — One thousand six hundred square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Summers hot and dry, winters severe, with light snowfall. Frazil ice is to be expected. Gauge. — A chain gauge was established at the highway bridge and a vertical staff at the cable station. These were read by Air. Jas. McKee daily. Channel. — The channel below the bridge is confined in a canyon, and there is no possibility of shift, though log jams might occasionally affect the gauge readings. Above and below the station the channel is straight for about 40 yards. There is a distinct riffle 30 yards below the section at low water, — but this is drowned at high water by the water backing up in its endeavour to get through the narrow canyon below. The low water control below the station may shift somewhat in high water. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915. rating curve was based on one measure- ment in November, 1913, six in 1914, and six well-distributed measurements in 1915. On December 18, 1914, a measurement under ice conditions gave a discharge of 630 c.f.s., and one on February 23, 1915, gave a discharge of 601 c.f.s. Accuracy. — Gauge readings and measurements are reliable, the rating curve is satisfactory, results should be within 10 or 15 per cent. Discharge Measurements of Elk River at Elko (For Curve). Date.

Location. — The section is at the International boundary, at highway bridge, near Kingsgate. Records Available. — July to December, 1914, and all of 1915. Drainage Area. — Five hundred and seventy square miles. Climatic Conditions. — Winters and summers are temperate. In summer hot days occur, but the evenings are cool. As a rule the river does not freeze over, but frazil ice is to be expected. Gauge. — A vertical staff is attached to the abutment of the bridge, and daily readings were made by Mr. John Dunlop. Channel. — The flow at the section is swift, over gravel and small boulders. Straight above and below for 200 feet. Discharge Measurements. — The 1915 data is based on a rating curve prepared from eight measurements made during the year. Accuracy. — "C." Meterings are reliable. Gauge readings taken daily. Results are considered to be within 15 per cent. General. — The Moyie rises in the summit of the Purcell mountains, flows easterly into Moyie lake, thence south-westerly and crosses the International boundary near Kingsgate. In Canada it drains approximately 570 square miles. Studies are being carried on to meet the possible requirements of lumbering and mining industries.

CHAPTER IX. Fort George District — Hydrometric Data. 423 7 GEORGE V SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e A. 1917 CHAPTER IX. FORT GEORGE DISTRICT. HYDROMETRIC DATA. Bulkley River. Bulkley river is one of the largest tributaries of the Skeena. It rises on the western slope of the interior plateau and flows in a north-westerly direction to join the Skeena, near Hazelton. The Bulkley is about 150 miles in length and drains an area of about 3,900 square miles. The Bulkley is a rough, unnavigable stream and flows through many rapids and canyons. For 30 miles above its mouth it flows through a deep and narrow canyon, falling 1.000 feet in this distance. The valley enclosing Bulkley river is very7 large, varying from four to ten miles in width. On the south-west, from Hazelton to Moricetown, this valley is flanked by the rugged Rocher Deboules mountains, and from Moricetown to Barrett, by Hudson Bay mountains. On the north-east the mountains are lower and not as rugged. There are no power developments as yet, but the Bulkley canyon affords probably one of the best power possibilities in northern British Columbia. The principal tributaries of the Bulkley are, the Morice and Telkwa rivers, Bull, Boulder, Porphyry and Mud creeks on the south; Canyon and Driftwood creeks and Suskwa river on the north. There are at present two gauging stations on the Bulkley river. One is at Hubert, above the mouth of the Telkwa river, the other is at Hazelton at the mouth. This latter station is to give the flow through the Bulkley canyon. The gauging station at Hubert was established in July, 1915, and records are available from then till December 31. Measurements are made from the downstream side of the highway bridge. A vertical staff gauge is nailed to the pier, at the south end of the bridge. The metering station at Hazelton is at the ferry crossing about halt a mile from the mouth. Daily gauge readings have been taken since July, 1915, on a chain gauge at the low level suspension bridge, 2 miles above the metering station. Meter measurements are made from the Government pontoon ferry, a tag line is stretched from shore to shore to mark points of observation, the ferry being held in place by the current action on the lace of the pontoons. a- -o ■ u a 2 ~ U ^ •>: .a £.2 ■J T£o " • 2 *il -i ^ ^ o <" « C <« O ►J o j= C Q.

The Dore or Fifty Mile river rises in the Cariboo mountains, about 25 miles south-west of the town of McBride, and flows north to the Fraser river. The town of McBride is about 2* 9 miles east of the mouth of the Dore. Dore river has a fairly steep gradient and several small power sites. It will probably afford a water or power supply for McBride, as it is the most important stream in this vicinity. Dore River.— (4002).

The Nechako river rises at the western end of the lake region of the great interior plateau, south of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The Nechako has its source in Ootsabunket and Cheslatta lakes, at an elevation of about 2,900 feet, and, after flowing about 70 miles in a north-easterly direction, almost touches the eastern end of Fraser lake, and then turns nearly due east along the 54th parallel, holding this direction for 100 miles to its confluence with the Fraser at Fort George. Near Fraser lake the Upper Nechako receives the waters from Fraser and Francois lakes. Nechako river may be said to be of three main branches: — the Upper Nechako, which drains Ootsabunkut, Cheslatta, Natalkuz, Euchu, and Teta- chuck lakes; the Nautley and Endako rivers which drain Francois and Fraser lakes; and the Stuart which drains Tacla, Tremblay and Stuart lakes. The drainage area of the Nechako basin is about 15,700 square miles. The Nechako valley proper is in reality an old lake bed and its soil is very rich. It averages 15 miles in width 'and contains several thousand acres of excellent farming land. The lower Nechako was navigated by small river steamers, from Fort George to Fort Fraser, during the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. As early as 1871, a 70-foot steamer, the "Enterprise," made a trip from Soda creek to Tacla lake, during the Omineca gold rush. The remains of this steamer are now beached on Tremblay lake. During the summer of 1915 the Department of Public Works, Canada, did considerable improvement work on the Stuart river rapids to make a navigable waterway at all stages from the railway to the Omineca mining region. There are no power developments on the Nechako at present. The total fall between Ootsabunkut, or Ootsa lake, and the Fraser is about 860 feet, of which 80 feet is in the short stretch between Ootsa and Natalkuz lakes. Near the Cheslatta Creek rapids, about 60 miles up the Upper Nechako, there is a box canyon 12 miles long, which contains many falls and rapids. Several of the largest lakes in the province are in the Nechako basin, — Ootsa, 140 miles long; Cheslatta, 25 miles; Francois, 60 miles: and Fraser, 14 miles; Stuart (area, 221 square miles); and Tacla, 135 square miles. There are two gauging stations being maintained on the Nechako river at the present time, one at Vanderhoof , on the Lower Nechako, and one near Fort Fraser, on the Upper Nechako. The gauging station on the Upper Nechako river was established in June-, 1915, and dailj gauge readings ha\ e been taken since that time. Meterings are made from the railway bridge, half a mile west of Fort Fraser. The gauging station <>n the Lower Nechako, at Vanderhoof, was established in June, 1915. Daily gauge readings an- taken and meterings are made from a boat station near the ferry crossing <>| the Vanderhoof Smart lake road. This latter station gives the combined discharges of the Upper Nechako, Nautley and Endako rivers.

Location. — At the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway bridge, about J^ mile west of Fort Fraser townsite. Records Available. — June 16 to December 10, L915. Drainage Area. — Approximately 6,150 square miles. Gauge. — Vertical staff gauge, nailed to a timber pile on the left bank of the river, about 75 feet above the railway bridge. The gauge is read daily in the open season and semi-weekly in the frozen season, by Mr. F. Clarke. Channel. — Straight above and below section. Divided into sections by the bridge piers. There is a possibility of shift in the section, due to current action around the piers of the bridge. Discharge Measurements. — Four well-distributed measurements during the summer of 1915. Winter Flow. — The river freezes in mid-November, and is frozen until the middle of April. During the early winter months the How is affected by presence of anchor and frazil ice. Accuracy. — "C."

The Skeena river is about 335 miles long and drains a territory of about 19,000 square miles. It rises in the eastern slopes of the Coast range and for 180 miles follows the general direction of this mountain system, then, at a point near Hazelton, it turns south-west and cuts across the range, to reach the Pacific ocean. In its upper reaches the Skeena is very swift and flows through numerous canyons and boulder-strewn rapids. The lower part of the river is wide and swift- flowing; it is divided into several channels by the many alluvial islands in its passage through the coast range. Tidal influence extends up the river for about 40 miles. Prior to and during the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the Skeena was navigated by river steamers to Hazelton, at the mouth of the Bulkley, a distance of 154 miles. Navigation, except near the mouth, is difficult and dangerous. Probably the most important industry connected with the Skeena river is the salmon fishing. The Skeena is a noted salmon river and several canneries have been established for some years near the mouth. The main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway follows the lower 154 miles of the river to Hazelton. The route of the proposed extension of this railway from Hazelton to Dawson, follows the upper part of the Skeena for about 130 miles. The Skeena valley has a general width of 2 miles, decreasing as it ascends. The mountains on either side seldom exceed 3,000 feet in height. The principal tributaries of Skeena river are the Kitsumgallum, Kitwanga, Kispiox, Kuldo, Exchamsiks, Kwinitsa, Seaxe, Kasiks and Exstew, on the north and west; Exstall, Lakelse, Zymoetz, Bulkley, Kitsequckla, Babine, Shequnya, Kleanza and Chimdemash, on the south and west, most of them draining valleys with a considerable extent of agricultural land. There are no power developments on the Skeena at present. It has a fall of about 725 feet in the 154 miles between Hazelton and its mouth, but the construc- tion of the railway along its banks prevents any extensive utilization for power purposes. There is at present only one gauging station on the Skeena river. It is located at the Hazelton ferry, about half a mile above the mouth of the Bulkley. This station was established in July, 1915. Readings are made daily from a chain gauge. Discharge measurements are made from the canoe ferry, a tagged line being stretched across the river to mark points of observation. Skeena River, Hazelton. — (4005). Location. — At ferry, at Old Hazelton, about :; i mill above tin- mouth of Bulkley river. Records Available. — July 15 to December 31, 1915. Drainage Area. — Approximately 13,300 square miles. Gauge. — Chain gauge on a long pole braced over hit bank, near ferry. Read daily by Jas. MacKay. BRITISH COLUMBIA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY \:il SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e Channel. — Straight above and below section. Bed is permanent and current is very swift. At high stage, surface velocities only can be obtained. Discharge Measurements. — Four well-distributed measurements during open season, 1915. Winter Flow. — River freezes over early in December. Winter flow is affected by ice jams near confluence with Bulkley river. Accuracy. — Below gauge height of 5.0 feet results should be within 15%. Above 5.0 feet within 20%.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f A. 1917 PART I PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1915 INTRODUCTION. The report presented herewith covers the hydrometrie work carried on throughout the province of Manitoba during the Calendar year 1915. There is also included in this report, data that has been collected by officers of the Survey in connection with hydrometrie studies made at the Outlets of the Lake of the Woods. The latter information relates particularly to gauge heights, etc., which were observed by different interested parties at various Time- prior to the interception of the work of the Manitoba Hydrometrie Survey at this point. The information so obtained is of great value and was compiled, collated and made available to the Consulting Engineers of the International Joint Commission for use in connection with the reference relating to the regulation of the Lake of the Woods. The gathering of hydrometrie data is of prime importance, not only from a hydraulic power standpoint, but also in connection with other uses of the surface water supply. The various uses for which stream flow data is required in Manitoba may be enumerated as follows : — 1. Domestic, municipal and manufacturing purposes. 2. Irrigation. 3. Water power. 4. Drainage. 5. Sewage disposal. 6. Navigation. 7. Flood prevention. Throughout the Provinces numerous towns and villages are dependent upon the rivers for their domestic water supply; the demand will rapidly increase with the population and information with regard to the amount of water available will be essential. In the southwestern part of the Province where the average annual rainfall varies between 14 and 17 inches and where agriculture is chiefly pursued, irrigation may become important. Throughout the Province many of the rivers present power possibilities, and studies have been made of them with a view to determining their probable economic value. The true value of these potential water powers cannot be determined without a thorough knowledge of the water available in the streams, particularly under low water condition-. In the northern and southeastern portions of the Province, the reclamation of large tracts of land by drainage may be profitably undertaken. With the rapid rilling up of the country, the necessity of throwing open reclaimed lands tor settlement will become more pressing, and in connection with such reclamation schemes, a complete knowledge of the streams forming the natural outlets for Buch drainage schemes is a prime requisite. The use of the Btreams of the Province in connection with Bewage disposal will Boon command attention, as the rapid growth of the town- and villages will render necessary the regulation of waste disposal from these municipalities in Buch a manner as to obviate any possible danger to the rest of the community. In order that this question may be handled intelligently, a knowledge of the discharge of the Btreams is of extreme importance. Several of the main rivers in the Province might be utilized for navigation purposes, in fact before the coming of the railway the Red River was the only mean- of communication with the outside world. Improvement for navigation purposes is being urged in many quarters and demands the Btudy of ihi> and other Btreams, 251 2\ 4 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 ORGANIZATION AND SCOPE. The organization of the survey is the same as in former years, though a number of changes in the personnel have occurred, due, almosl without exception, to enlistment for active service. The methods used in collecting the data are based upon those followed by the Water Resources Division of the United States Geological Survey. The different streams to be studied are investigated and suitable sites selected for the establishment of metering stations, the selection of the stations depending upon the physical features and the need of data in any particular locality. At these metering station.-, gauges are established and some person living in the locality is engaged to read the gauge daily. These daily observations are recorded in a book provided for the purpose, which is examined by the engineer on each of his visits. The readings as entered in the book are transferred to cards by the gauge reader and forwarded weekly to the Chief Engineer. The records are then copied on forms and filed in the office. At the end of each three months the gauge books are renewed, the old ones are forwarded to the office and the readings, as copied from the cards, are checked against those entered in the gauge books by the gauge reader. At the end of the season, discharge curves are constructed for each station from the results of the meterings. Rating tal'les are compiled and with these and the records of daily gauge heights as a basis, tallies of Daily. Monthly and Yearly Discharge are computed. These are the restdts which are published herein. On the organization of the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey, the work of the Winnipeg River Power Survey was merged with it, and the former now carries on all hydrometric storage, power or river improvement investigations. By this arrangement the work natur- ally falling within the scope of the survey may be carried on systematically and conser- vation may be dealt with in a comprehensive manner with a view to determining the best use of the available water supply. In gathering this stream flow data it is believed that the results obtained are sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes, the aim being, not to concentrate on few streams and so obtain records of extreme accuracy, but rather to spread the effort over as wide a territory as possible ami so serve as many purposes as possible without unduly sacrificing the accuracy of results. In this connection it is essential that the records, in order that they may properly cover all possible range in stage of the rivers investigated, should extend over a considerable term of years. The length of this term will vary with the character and importance of the stream investigated; on some streams the term should be from five to ten years, while in other cases from ten to twenty years is desirable. This variation will depend both upon the importance of I lie stream and the correlation of the results with the records of other streams in the vicinity. To quote from an authority on this subject, — "the object should be to gauge a certain number of stream- at all seasons of the year so as to ascertain their total discharge and its seasonable distribution, also to gauge others at certain stages which have been determined to be the critical points in their regimen." It may be stated here that the United Mate- Geological Survey considers that, owing to the constantly changing flow of the streams, data of reasonable accuracy showing the distribution of flow over several ars are of more importance than very accurate measurements covering short periods of time. In making Use of the records here presented, caution should be exercised in drawing conclusions. Owing to the very limited period of time over which a jjreat many of the rdfl extend, and the fact that the observations are often unsupported by others made before t he organizal ion of the survey, considerable error in the conclusions reached max very easily occur. DISTRICTS. During the pa-t year seventy stations were operated, at some of these continuous records were obtained, while at other- only miscellaneous measurements were secured. Tin- territory covered by the work i- di\ ided, for convenience of description, into several PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 5 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f main divisions, which conform generally to the several drainage systems met with. These may be enumerated as follows: — 1 . Winnipeg River and Tributaries. 2. Red River and Tributaries. 3. Assiniboine River and Tributaries. 4. Saskatchewan River and district west of Lake Winnipegosis. 5. East shore of Lake Winnipeg. 6. Hudson Bay Drainage (Nelson River). WINNIPEG RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES. This district comprises all the territory lying between the Outlets of the Lake of the Woods and lake Winnipeg which is tributary to the Winnipeg river. The Outlets of the Lake of the Woods are being given special attention owing to the effect of run-off at this point upon the surface levels of the Lake of the Woods. The reference now before the International Joint Commission relative to the regulation of the lake has necessitated a very comprehensive study of the run-off conditions. The number of outlets from the lake and their method of control has necessitated keeping an engineer and assist- ant on the ground continuously. Data of a meteorological nature is also being gathered. The tributaries of the Winnipeg river are not numerous, and with one exception, the English river, are of little magnitude. The English river joins the Winnipeg in the vicinity of the Interprovincial boundary between Ontario and Manitoba, and drains all the country lying to the north and east of the Lake of the Woods district. Lying almost entirely in unsurveyed territory, its drainage area is rather indeterminate, but roughly speaking, it forms somewhat less than one-half of the total tributary drainage area lying above the junction of the two rivers. A station has been established on this river near the mouth, but owing to the remoteness from settlement, it has been found impossible to secure the services of a gauge reader. On this account it has not been possible to determine the daily discharge directly, only scattered meterings being available, but from a consideration of the measurements taken on the Winnipeg river above and below this confluence, the discharge of the English river may be arrived at approximately. The smaller tributaries of the Winnipeg have been metered and records of the discharge kept more or less systematically, depending upon their importance. On the main river, stations have been established at Whitedog falls — north and south channels — and Slave falls, and one on the Pinawa channel near the Control dam, also others at the forebay and tailrace of the Winnipeg Electric Railway plant in the latter channel. The latter stations were established with a view to rating the power plant. This district lies almost entirely within the Laurentian formation, in fact, the Winnipeg river and the Lake of the Woods may be said to form the southwestern boundary of that formation. This would account in a great measure for the small number of rivers tributary to the basin from the southwest. The granites and gneisses of the Laurentian formation underlie the whole region, anil the topographical features are typical; lakes and rivers abounding throughout the district. Rock outcroppings arc very frequent and the soil covering is shallow, conditions which would tend to rapid run-off were they not offset by the numerous lakes and muskegs throughout the district. The forest covering of the district varies, in some parts it is sparse owing to the shallow- ness of Boil; in other parts dense growths of evergreen Buch as Bpruce, pine and balsam are to be found with here and there clumps of birch. Considerable Lumbering has been done in the district so that for the must pari the Larger stands of Lumber have been cut off. In (it her parts the forest lias lieen overrun with lire so that now much of the standing timber is Becond growth. eu d an i is i'i-i ri< i That portion of the Red River valley Lying below the International Boundary and the territory drained by the tributaries with the exception of the Aasiniboine, comprises the 6 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 Red river District. The nature of the area drained by the river within the Province varies between the swampy muskeg country bordering the Laurentian formation to the easl and the open prairie to the west . < )\\ ing to the nature of t be eastern part of the drainage area, land reclamation by drain- age is to be expected and such work will naturally affect the range in stage of the river and tributaries concerned. This change in regimen caused by the operation of Large drainage schemes in the northern pari of Minnesota has to some extent already been noticed. These conditions render the study of the river advisable especially owing to the possibility of International questions arising. Drainage already in operation or to he anticipated, how- ever, is noi the only reason for collecting hydrometric data. The importance of the river from a navigation standpoint has been put forward on numerous occasions, in fact a careful survey with the idea of its improvement for that purpose was carried out through this organization. Such improvement would not revive an early use of the river as the chief artery of communication and transport witli the outside world. In order that all phases of the question may he looked into, metering stations have been established near the Inter- national Boundary at Emerson, and at Winnipeg, and gauges were established at several intermediate points. Stations have been operated on the tributaries, viz., the Roseau, the Rat, the Morris and the Seine. ASSINIBOINE RIVER DISTRICT. The Assiniboine river which is the chief tributary of the Red, drains the country to the wesl of t he I hick and Riding Mountains and north of the International boundary; some of its tributaries have their source within the province of Saskatchewan. The southern and western part of the drainage area may be termed prairie country, having scattered timber bluffs. The northern section of the area has a greater tree covering, the Riding Mountain distrid at tin source of one of the tributaries being well timbered and lying within a forest reserve. The streams rising in these two areas are characteristic of the country which they drain. One of the chief tributaries, the Souris, has the extreme low winter flow characteristic of the prairie streams. It rises within the province of Saskatchewan, Hows southeast, crossing the International boundary into North Dakota, then swings northeast re-crossing the boundary into Manitoba. The stream flows through what may be termed the dry belt of Manitoba, the district drained comprising that part of the Province which has the lowest annual rainfall, this varying between 14 and 17 inches. The kittle Sas- katchewan, which is also a tributary of the Assiniboine, rises in the Hiding Mountains and (lows in a general southerly direction joining the main river near Brandon. As the main river and its branches drain the well populated parts of the Province, it is important as a source of domestic water supply or a means of sewage disposal. In addition to t he above, its possible use for irrigation purposes may be ant icipal ed in the south- western pari of the Province, and these demands added to the demand for power purposes render a careful hydrometric study of the river advisable. During the I last season a number of new stations have been established on the upper waters of the Little Saskatchewan, in connection with certain water power studies on that river. As opportunity offers it is intended td extend these stations throughout the basin in order ihat a thorough knowledge of the Assiniboine may be obtained. SASKATCHEWAN RTVEB \M> DISTRICT WEST OF i.\KK WINNIPEGOSIS. In thifl distrid there are a large QUmbei of streams of variable size tributary directly or indirectly to bake Winnipegosis. The Saskatchewan river, though belonging to the district, flows through the northern portion and empties into lake Winnipeg. With a few exceptions all the rivers tributary to lake Winnipegosis have their source in either the Eliding, Duck or Porcupine mountains. The streams are not of greal length and the flow is subject to considerable fluctuation. Some of these streams are not of immediate interest from a hydrological standpoint, nevertheless a- the district becomes populated their importance will increase; new towns. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRK SURVEY 7 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f springing up will be dependent on them for water supply and in some cases the suco drainage schemes will depend largely upon the possibility of utilizing the existing streams as outlets. Vast areas along the Saskatchewan river may be profitably reclaimed by channel improvements in the main river combined with a system of interior drainage. Certain of these rivers are capable of development from a power standpoint and the most important in the district viewed from that angle is perhaps the Saskatchewan river. This river has for its drainage basin practically all that section of Alberta and about two-thirds of S - katchewan lying south of the forty-fourth parallel of latitude. There are several points at which this river might be developed for power purposes. EAST SHORE OF LAKE WINNIPEG. In the district covered by the drainage on the east side of lake Winnipeg, the country is for the most part typical of the Laurentian formation, in consequence practically all of the rivers entering on that side of the lake are interrupted at numerous points in their course by falls and rapids. At various points throughout the country are to be found stands of timber which may be utilized either for the manufacture of lumber or for pulp. With these facts in view some studies have been made of the power possibilities of the rivers, but in order that the conclusions reached may be sound, the possible run-off of the rivers should be known. The district is for the most part uninhabited, so it has been impossible to secure gauge readers. Miscellaneous measurements have been taken at various points on the river as the opportunity offered, and with the exception of the station established at Little Grand Rapids on the Berens river where daily records are obtained, these are all the records available. HUDSON BAY DRAINAGE. NELSON RIVER. The Nelson river forms the sole outlet of practically all the drainage areas included in the last six districts. It forms the outlet of lake Winnipeg into which all the rivers, the Winnipeg, Red, Saskatchewan, Berens, Pigeon, Bloodvein and Dauphin (the outlet of lake Winnipegosis and lake Manitoba), empty. The fall of the Nelson between the outlet of lake Winnipeg and Hudson's- Bay is in round numbers, 700 feet. A great portion of this is to be found in the form of swifts, rapids and falls. With such a vast drainage area tribu- tary to the river the discharge must be enormous, while with so many lakes forming natural regulation basins, the minimum flow will probably bear a fairly close relation to the mean flow. The natural storage basins encountered in this drainage area are of great proportions and include the following large lakes: — lake Namakan, Rainy lake and the Lake of the Woods on the Winnipeg; lac Seul on the English, lake Manitoba, lake Dauphin, lake Winnipi - - - and lake Winnipeg; there are many others of less extent; for in the Winnipeg river basin alone there are, in addition to those named, 106 lakes varying in area from 3 to 140 square miles. The Nelson with its numerous falls and rapids and excellent natural regulation has great power possibilities, which arc increasingly important as the Hudson's Bay railway i completion and easier and cheaper transportation becomes available. The early develop- ment of sonic of these powers is by ao means improbable. The bydrometric work under- taken in 1914 has been continued and an engineer was kept in the district during the winter and summer of L915. In addition to this work, a number of measurements were secured at various points on the Grass and Burntwood rivers during 1915, stations and bench marks being established so thai the work may be continued at a future date. DEFINITIONS AND TERMS. The volume of water flowing in a stream (called the "run-off" or "discharge" I is expi in various terms, each of which baa become associated with a certain class of work. These terms maj be divided into two groups,— ( 1 1 Those which represent a rate of How as "second-feet," "miner's inches" and "run-off in second-feel per Bquare mile." rhose which represent the actual quantity of water, as "run-off in depth in inches" and "acre-feet ." 8 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 The units used in this report are ''second-feet," "seeond-feet per Bquare mile," "run-off in inches" and "acre-feet" or "mile-feet." The first two belong to the first group and the last three to the second. They may be defined as follows, — 'Second-feet" is an abbreviation for cubic feet per second (c.f.s.i and is the rate of discharge of water flowing in a stream 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep, at a rate of 1 foot per second, It is generally used as a fundamental unit from which others are computed by the use of factors given in the following table of equivalents. (b) "Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, on the assumption that the run-off is distributed uniformly both as regards time and area. (c) "Run-off in inches" is the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the water flowing from it in a given period were conserved and uniformly distributed over the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually expressed in depth in inches. (d) "Acre-foot" is equivalent to 43,560 cubic feet, which quantity is the number of square feet in one acre. It is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of one foot , and is the common unit of measurement of quantity. It is generally used in connection with storage. (e) "Mile-foot" is equivalent to 27,878,400 cubic feet, which quantity is the number of square feet in one square mile. It is the quantity of water required to cover one square mile to a depth of one foot and is equal to 640 acre-feet. While not a common unit of measurement of quantity, it is sometimes made use of in connection with large storage projects to express the quantity of water stored.

In Water Resources Paper No. 4 full reference was made to the methods commonly followed in determining the discharge of streams, and it is not therefore considered necessary to repeat the same herein. EXPLANATION OF DATA. The following data are given for each regular station: — 1. Description of the station. 2. Table of Discharge Measurements. 3. Table of Daily Gauge Heights and Discharges. 4. Table of Monthly Discharge and Run-off. The description gives a complete history of the station, noting especially such charges as would effect the records. There is also included information regarding the location and equipment of the station. In the table of discharge measurements is given the date of each measurement, the name of the field engineer, meter number, width of the section, cross sectional area, mean velocity in the section, the gauge height and the discharge in cubic feet per second. The table of daily gauge heights and discharge contains a list of the gauge heights for each day reduced to station datum and the corresponding discharge. In some cases the gauge height given is the mean of two or more readings taken at intervals during the day. The table of monthly discharge and run-off is compiled from the foregoing table. Under "Maximum" is given the greatest mean daily discharge in feet per second occurring during the month, period or year. Similarly under "Minimum" is given the smallest discharge, and under "Mean" the mean discharge for each whole month, period or year. It should be noted that under these headings the figures represent rates of flow. In the other part of the table are given under the heading "Run-off Depth in Inches," the depth of which the drainage area could be carried by distributing evenly over the entire area the run-off for each month. period or year. These figures represent quantities of water, as do also those under the heading "Total Run-off in Acre-feet." The size of each drainage area is obtained by planimeter from the area Lying within the basin laid down on the sectional maps issued by the Department. These will be revised if necessary from time to time as new maps are issued. BENCH MARKS. Prom time to time the necessity has been fell for good permanent bench marks at the metering stations to which the gauges could be referred. During the early pan of the year one was designed and a number secured. The bench mark is made up of a five-foot length of three and b half inch wrought iron-pipe, the lower six inches is split and the ends spread. a bronze oap is shrunk on to the upper end, on it being the letters, "B.M. Mils." The low- in the centre of the cap is the reference point. The pipe is sunk in the ground, only two or three inches being left above the surface, if rock in place is available, the cap only is used. being (hilled and tapped tO lit B half inch anchor boll which may be leaded in a hole drilled PLATE No 1 rr— ^-Vl Cap '3 set ^-Hole for Pin wrrncfy Details of Rock Bench Mark.

METERINC 1 ACCESSORIES. A number of the stations operated are on large streams where depths up to seventy-five feet are encountered. Piano wire has been used for suspending the meter, a small insulated wire forming the second side of the circuit. Lately a special steel cable of small diameter with an insulated copper core has been experimented with and has given good results, the advantage over piano wire being less liability to break through kinking and the elimination of the second wire. Where either method of suspension is adopted, a reel is necessary, so that all the stations where considerable depths are encountered are equipped with reels, a special equipment being used for metering at boat stations. Mr. W. J. Ireland, Assistant Engineer, during the year designed a counting device for use with the reels and a number of them are now in use. The counting part of the device is similar to that used in gas meters. It is connected to the spindle of the reel by a train of gears, the counter and gears being enclosed in a metal case. Through the connection, each revolution or part of a revolution of the reel or drum is recorded on the dial of the encounter. By turning in one direction the revolutions are added and by reversing the direction they are subtracted. The counter may readily be thrown out of gear and the dial reading brought to zero. By using a reel exactly one foot in circumference and setting the dial to read zero when the meter is at the surface of the water any position with reference to the surface of the water is automatically registered on the dial. The counting device may be detached from the reel by loosening three thumb screws; they are interchangeable so that one may be carried by each field engineer and used with any reel. The Nelson and the Saskatchewan are two of the largest rivers metered; on each of these there are Boat Stations. The velocities being high, it has been found that a canoe does not afford a steady enough working platform. The method now employed is to secure two canoes together parallel to one another by means of three pieces of oak laid across the gun- whales and bolted to the thwarts at each end, thus forming a kind of catamaran; a bridle is then fastened to the bows of the canoes and a line led from the centre of tins bridle to the tag fine stretched across the river. The meter may be suspended between the canoes or over either side by means of the metering board used on boat sections. The board described in the Annual Report for 1913-14, Plate 9, has been modified to permit of its use with the counting device. This modified form of the metering board is fully illustrated below.

An attachment has been devised by Mr. Ireland for use with the meter bar in sounding, the meter being removed in such case; by means of the device an electrical contact is made when the weight reaches the bottom, the contact being announced in the ear piece the same as when metering. See illustration of metering board on page 11. Good results have been obtained with this, especially when used in sounding the larger streams, and also at the "Cable carrier" stations where the sag in the cable span formerly influenced the results. A device which has been found very useful and for which we are indebted to the Engineers of the Water Resources Division, United States Geological Survey, for kindly sending samples and placing the same at our disposal, is used in making connection between the meter bar and the suspension cable. It has been used throughout the work of the last year and has, after a few minor changes, given complete satisfaction. INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT. AUTOMATIC GAUGES. During the year a number of automatic gauges have been used. They are of two types, the Gurley Printing, of which four have been installed and preparation made for the fifth, and the Gurley Seven Day Stage Register, of which two were used. The four of the first type have been installed at permanent stations and considerable care has been exercised in erection to ensure as far as possible their operation during the Winter season with minimum attention. (See plate No. 2.) The permanent installations are at the following points: — The first one was installed in February, 1915, on the public dock at Kenora; the gauge registers the Lake of the Woods levels at that point. The gauge readings are referred to Canadian Geodetic Levels Datum, the Canadian Geodetic Bench Mark on the Kenora Post Office being used for the purpose. The second was installed in the control dam at the head of the Pinawa Channel. It records the water levels above the control dam, the gauge readings being referred to W.P.S. datum. This gauge was placed in operation in May, 1015. The third installation is at Slave Falls and will be used for rating the discharge at that point, being placed on the left side of the river about two hundred feet above the metering station. The gauge is referred to W.P.S. datum, a permanent bench mark being placed near the gauge. The gauge began operation in June, 1915. The fourth automatic gauge was installed at the head of Whitedog falls on the Winnipeg river; by means of this installation it will be possible to rate both the North and South Channels at that point. The datum of the gauge is W.P.S. datum, being tied in to a permanent bench mark placed near the gauge. This gauge was put in operation in August, 1915. The materia] for the fifth installation has been purchased and is now at the site. This will be at the Hudson's Bay Post at Lac Seul. As this lake forms one of the largest natural storage basins on the Winnipeg river drainage system, it is considered advisable to install a gauge at the point, named. The two seven day gauges were used in connection with the hydrometric studies of the Nelson river near Manitou rapids. They were only temporarily installed and were removed at the end of the Beason's work. The zero of each gauge was. however, referred to two per- manent bench marks which were tied together by a line of levels, also to the Hudson's Pay Railway datum. CABLE STATIONS. During the year two new oable stations were built, one at the head of the Pinawa Channel and the other at the South Channel, Whitedog falls, The station at Slave falls was also overhauled and certain repairs and renewals made, 14 DEPARTMENT <>F THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 New cable carrier stations were placed at the North Channel of Whitedog falls on the Winnipeg river and at Stuartburn and Dominion City on the Roseau river.

HYDROMETRIC DATA. LAKE OF THE WOODS OUTLETS. The outflow from the Lake of the Woods into the Winnipeg river below the lake is through several natural and artificial channels. The flow through all these outlets is con- trolled by the operation of hydraulic plants or the manipulation of dams. The outlets from the lake in order from the east are — Eastern Outlet, completely controlled by the Municipal Power Plant of Kenora: the Western Outlet, upon which has been built the Xorman Dam; the head race of Mill "C," Lake of the Woods Milling Co.. an artificial outlet: the head race of Mill "A" belonging to the same Company, and also an artificial channel, and last. the artificial head race of the Keewatin Lumber and Manufacturing Co.'s plant which was formed by an old high water channel that discharged into Mink Bay which in turn drains into Darlington Bay,, an arm of the Winnipeg river. Below the outlets the Winnipeg river is split up into a number of branches, the tail races of Mills "A" and "C," the outlet of Darlington Bay and the Western Outlet forming the West Branch, and river below the Eastern Outlet forming the East Branch. These unite below Old Fort Island to form the main river. The manipulation and operation of the dams and plants at the various outlets renders it difficult to ascertain the discharge from the Lake of the Woods. In order that correct estimates may be made it has been necessary to establish and operate a number of metering stations and maintain gauges at various points in the district. The location of the metering stations are as follows: — 1. Eastern Outlet, above the Kenora Power House. 2. Western Outlet, Norman Traffic Bridge. 3. Head Race Mill "C." 4. Head Race Mill "A." 5. Head Race, Keewatin Lumber & Manufacturing Co. 6. C.P.R. Culvert, Outlet of Mink Bay. 7. North Tunnel Island Station. In addition to the record- obtained at these regular stations, observations of the discharge at different controlling sections below the outlets have been made from time to time. EAST BRANCH WINNIPEG RIVER, KENORA POWER HOUSE BISTORT. The discharge of the East Branch, or Eastern ( hitlet, Lake of the Woods, depends upon the operation of the Kenora Municipal Power Plant. To determine the discharge under these circumstances it was necessary to rate the Power Plant. At first an attempt was made to determine the discharge directly, and to this end a station was established by Mr. s. S. Srovil, June 27, 1912, aboul one-half mile bekw the Power House Dear Old Fort [aland; this proved unsatisfactory bo a station was established by A Pirie, October 8, 1913, about one hundred and fiftj feel above the Power House in the Pa-tern Outlet.

DRAINAGE IREA. As in the case of the other outlets of the Lake of the Woods, the drainage area above, for the individual outlets is not significant. GAUGE. The tail-race and head-race gauges were established at the Power Plant in HKJ7, and are the ones used in the records until 1912, when on June 24 and 27, head-and tail race gauge? were respectively established by Mr. Scovil, the former being on the upstream side of the timber platform in the head race and the latter two hundred feet below the power house. Both were referred to YV.P.S. datum. CHANNEL. The channel is permanent, being in solid rock and boulders, is fairly uniform and free from cioss eddies. It is straight for fifty feet above the section and one hundred feet below and fairly uniform. All the water passes through the power house except for a small part escaping in the log chute. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Sufficient measurements were made to rate the station under the range in Loads and heads occurring, and a rating curve of load-discharges constructed for various heads. A boat station is used for the measurements. ACCURACY. Except for conditions due to small loads the rating may be considered good.

Station was established on June 5, 1912 by S.S. Scovil. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section is located on the downstream side of the Norman Traffic Bridge winch spans the western outlet of the Lake of the Woods about two miles west of Kenora on the highway leading from Kenora to Keewatin. The Initial Point is marked on the wooden hand rail at the west end of the bridge, the meterings being taken from the deck. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Kstimates of daily discharge are available for this station from May 1, 1913* and are based upon gauge readings taken at the D.P.W. Forebay gauge, Norman Dam, from May 1 to August 25, 1913, and from August 26, 1913 on, the gauge heights are those recorded by the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey gauge above the Norman Dam. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area above this section is 26.400 square miles, but owing to the fact that there are several other outlets of the Lake of the Woods this drainage area should not be used in computing run-off. GAUGE. When ihr station was lirst established a reference point was marked on the northeast 'inner of the west pier of the bridge to which water levels at the time of metering were referred. This was lain- replaced l>y a vertical staff gauge which was referred to W.P.S. 'latum.

This channel has formed one of the outlets of the Lake of the Woods since the Mill was built in 1887. A gauge in the Tailrace was operated from May, 1896, until June, 1912. when it was discontinued. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section as first located in the Headrace of Mill "A" was on the downstream side of the toot bridge across the channel. Later it was changed to a position just above the intake racks of the power house in the headrace Mill "A" Lake of the Woods Milling Co.. Keewatin, Ont. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Intermittenl gauge readings in the tailrace from L896-1912 and from 1913 daily dis- charge records based upon meterings, head-and tail-gauge readings and loads on the Mill are available. DRAINAGE UREA. Total drainage area above i he Lake of the Woods outlets is 26,400 square miles A staff gauge has been plaoed on the metering section dose t « > the righl Bide of the channel. This gauge 18 referred to a W.l'.S. B.M. located about 20 feci west of the gauge CHANN1 i The entrance to the raoks is uniform and the section is well situated bo avoid eddies ol entrance, the stream line being generally perpendicular to the section 26 DEPART ME XT OF THE ISTE1UUR 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. A number of meterings have been made to determine the discharge for different gate openings and head so that the daily discharge may he arrived at. They are made from the rack structure. ACCURACY. [h. records are reliable owing to the conditions controlling the discharge, i.e., gate opening, head, etc., being easily observed. Discharge Mkasirements of Mill "A" I'm \n.

HISTORY. The station was established on JulylT, 1912, by Mr. S. S. Scovil, when the first metering \va.s taken by this Survey. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section is located about five feet upstream from the racks in the head race of Mill "C," Lake of the Woods Milling Co., leading from Portage Bay, an arm of Lake of theWoods at Keewatin, Ont. The initial point is marked on the east bank of the channel above the racks . RECORDS AVAILABLE. The records of discharge are based upon meterings and gauge heights in the head and tail race and also depend upon the load on the Mill. The daily discharges through the Mill are available for 1912-13-14-15. DRAINAGE AREA. This channel forms one of the outlets of the Lake of the Woods, and in consequence the drainage area above has no particular significance. It is however 26,400 square miles. GAUGE. The gauge is a vertical staff gauge placed on the east side of the channel about ten feet upstream from the racks. The zero of the gauge is referred to W.P.8. datum, the reference B.M. being a point on the top of the flume. CHANNEL. The channel is rectangular, cut in solid rock and has a normal depth of twelve feet. It is straight for about fifteen feet above the section. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The meterings are made from a small bridge spanning the channel and have been taken periodically from July 17, 1912, the range in stage covered being about 21/? feet. ACCURACY. The station gives good records but the daily discharge depends upon the gate openings on the turbines so that after rating the station to these, the records are reliable.

This channel forms one of the outlets of the Lake of the Woods, li was created and used in connection with the above Company's mill, the discharge being controlled by the headgates. After the mill was burned in 1903 these fell into disrepair and leakage occurred; to ascertain this a station was established on December 13, 1913, by S. C. O'Grady and has since been operated. LOCATION OF SECTION. The metering section is on the upstream side of the bridge crossing the channel 300 feel above the power house and east of the headgates at the K.L. & M. Co.'s. headrace. The I. P. is a notch cut in the plank floor at the north end of the bridge and marked," "0+00." RECORDS AVAILABLE. The daily discharge records are available at this point since the establishment of the station in December, 1913. GAUGE. There is no gauge at this point, but the meterings are referred to the lake gauge at the Keewatin bridge where daily records are available. ( HANNEL. The channel is fairly permanent, composed of clay and rock. It is straight for 150 feet above and 100 feet below the section. The current is not swift and depends upon the leakage at the gates. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements are taken frequently to check the leakage through the head- gates, and as tin- control is fairly permanent the discharge depends largely upon the lake stage. No curve has been plotted for the station but the daily estimated discharge is based upon the meterings. The measurements are made from the bridge. ACCURACY. The accuracy may be considered good.

This channel is a tunnel excavated in solid rock under the C.P.R. embankment and connects Mink Bay and Darlington Bay, the latter being an arm of the Winnipeg river. The station was established on July 29th, 1912, by S. S. Scovil, and has since been continuously maintained. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section is about 25 feet above the entrance to the tunnel which is about 2,000 feet wot nt' the Old K.I.. & M. mill on Mink Bay and forms the outlet for that bay into Darling- ton bay. The I. P. is a stake driven in the hank at the west side of the channel about 25 feet above the mouth of the tunnel. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Meterings have been made at close intervals from July 29, 1912, but no gauge heights are available, so no discharge curve has been constructed. DRAINAGE AREA. Not significant as most of the water flowing past this station is leakage through the K.I.. A: M. Co.'s head gate- from Lake of the Woods. GAUGE. No gauge has been installed, water Levels at the time of metering being obtained by measuring down from a point of rock which is referred to W.l'.S. datum. i ii w\i i The channel is a rock cut and is constant in section above and below poinl of metering. DISCHARGE ME U31 REMENTS. 1 he meterings are taken by Price meter from a plank bridged across I he channel. \i ■< i RACY. The results obtained are good as the governing conditions are constant.

The station was established by Mr. S. S. Scovil on July 29, 1912. LOCATION OF SECTION. The station is situated at downstream end of the culvert under the C.P.R. embankment on the outlet of War Eagle lake about }/$ mile below the lake and near Darlington bay into which it empties. The I. P. is marked on the rock forming the R. side of the channel at the mouth of the tunnel. RECORDS AVAILABLE. A number of meterings have been made during the period 1912-1913 but no gauge records have been kept. DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary is about 50 square miles. GA1 GE, No gauge has been established but the elevation of the water Burface is obtained by measuring down from a fixed point marked on the rock near the section. i n \\\i.i . Tin channel is straight for 20 feel above the section and 60 feel below. The section is fairly uniform, being an artificial rock-cut.

L912, by Mr. s. S. Scovil. LOCATION . The meter section is on the west branch of the Winnipeg river on the north side of Tunnel Island about one mile below the Keewatin River Bridge. The LP. of the section - chiselled in the rock on the south bank of i he river and is painted "LP. W.P.S. El. 1039.88." RECORDS AVAILABLE. Frequent discharge measurements have been made since tin' establishment of the station and daily discharges have been estimated for this section from the year 1907 to date. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area lying above this section is 20,400 square miles, but all of the water coming from this basin does not pass this section as part of it goes through the easl branch of the Winnipeg, the two, the east and the west branch joining a short distance below the section. GAUGE. A vertical staff gauge reading tc lOthsis located on a pile bent at the south end of the Keewatin River Bridge and to which all measurements at 'Ik- station are referred. The zero of the gauge is referred to W.P.S. datum. A vertical staff gauge read during metering is located on the north shore aboul .it' feel above the meter section and is bolted to the rock. It is referred to W.P.S. datum. I II \NNE1.. The river at this point is confined to a single channel at all stages, the bed of the Stream is solid rock or boulders and of a very permanent nature, the banks are high and rocky and the river is confined to its channel at all stages. The approach to the section is straight for 100 feet and maintains the same direction foi approximately 100 feet below, the cross section being approximately uniform over that distance. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Numerous discharge measurements have been taken at this station and cover a range m Mage of 6*3 feet. Owing to the fact that part of the water flowing past this section enters the river through the Lake of the Woods Milling Company's plants which discharge into Darlington bay, and part of the water is discharged through the Norman Dam on the western outlet of the Lake of the Woods, the conditions governing discharge at tin.- point vary from time to lime and considerable difficulty is experienced in arriving at the daily discharge by means of a discharge curve, the ponding effecl in Darlington baj having a noticeable effect. \« < i RA( I Owing to the presence of the mills and the operation of the Norman Dam the accuracy • if the record- ig considerably affected.

The Winnipeg river is one of the most important in the province of Manitoba, forming the source of a power supply for the city of Winnipeg. It joins Lake of the Woods to lake Winnipeg flowing in a westerly direction. The drainage area of this river is 53,500 square miles above the mouth. The basin has all the characteristics of the Laurentian formation, being dotted with lakes, ponds and muskegs. A considerable portion of the basin is com- posed of lake areas the size of which range between a few square miles up to 1,500 square miles, the latter being the surface area of the Lake of the Woods. The country drained is rough and more or less timbered. The upper part of the area has been lumbered to a considerable extent and still affords a field for such industry. The river itself is of considerable proportions, and its characteristics are lake-like expanses joined by short stretches of swift water or falls. On account of these features splendid opportunity is offered for the development of water power. At the present time advantage has been taken of these possibilities in two cases, and developments are to be found at Point du Bois, where the city of Winnipeg has a municipally owned and operated plant, and on the Pinawa Channel where the plant of the Winnipeg Electric Railway Com- pany is in operation. A number of other sites are capable of economic development and it has been estimated that a total output of approximately 420,000 continuous 24 hour horse- power is available from this river within the province of Manitoba from the regulated river. In consequence of the importance of this river a number of stations at which records of discharge have been obtained have been established. They are as follows: — 1 . The Dalles. Throat Rapids. Minaki. Whitedog Rapids. Slave Falls. Otter Falls. Pinawa Channel. 8. Grand du Bonnet Falls. At some of these points continuous discharges are not available, the records being confined to a few isolated meterings. TRIBUTARIES. The tributaries of the Winnipeg river are, with one exception, <>( minor importance, having lor the mosl pari small drainage areas. This exception is the English river with h drainage area of 21,500 Bquare miles, entering the Winnipeg from the north just within the province of Ontario. The other tributaries of the Winnipeg river are the WhitesheU river which joins the main river in the Like like expanse known as Jessie lake, the Whitemouth which enters just below the Seven Sisters rapids and the Bird river which llow- into l.ac dn Bonnet. Of these tributaries, the Whitemouth is the only one tor which dailj record- of discharge are available. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 42 DEPARTMENT OF THE 1XTER10R 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 WINNIPEG RIVER AT MINAKI. HISTORY. The station was established by C. 0. Allen on September 23, 1913. Later it was abandoned for the Whitedog station, difficulty being experienced in operating the station under winter conditions. LOCATION OF SECTION". The section is located on the downstream side of the G.T.P. Railway bridge :;j mile east of the Minaki station and !4 mile downstream from the Hoist Point Hotel. The LP. is marked by three spikes driven in the guard rail at the west end of the bridge on the down- stream side. RECORDS AVAILABLE. A daily gauge height record has been kept since September 24, 1913. A number of meterings have been taken but there is not sufficient data to construct a rating curve for the station. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area above Minaki is 27,000 square miles. GAUGE. A vertical staff gauge 6 feet long is fastened to a plank which is spiked to crib work a ■ lie east end of the bridge and is 30 feet downstream from the section It is referred to three B.M.'s set to W.P.S. datum. CHANNEL. It is straight for 500 feet above the station and 1,000 feet below. The channel is divided by a pier of the bridge which stands in the river about 65 feet from the east shore. The stream is moderately swift but the bed of the stream is not liable to shift. It is confined to the two channels under all stages. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. They are made from the bridge deck, the intervals being marked on the guard rail. ACCURACY. The channel forme a connecting link or strait between two lake-like expanses; on this aCCOUnl the discharge does not always bear the same relation to gauge heights, the ponding effect belovi being noticeable. A discharge curve for the station lias not been constructed. /■h'OGKESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 43 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f WHITEDOG FALLS, NORTH AND SOUTH CHANNELS. HISTORY. On May 18, 1914, a metering station was established on the South channel at Whitedog falls by S. C. O'Grady. This station was operated as a boat station until the end of July 1915, when the section was moved upstream approximately 100 feet and a cable station installed. On May 23, 1914, a cable carrier station was established on the North channel of Whitedog falls, since which date this station has been in operation. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section on the South channel is located about 900 feet above the second falls and is reached either by canoe and a short portage at the first falls or by the road and trail on the large island, leading from the H.B. Co. old warehouse at the head of the first falls. The LP. is a cross and circle painted on the rock at the base of the tower and marked "LP." with white paint. The section on the North channel is located about 20 feet above the head of the first falls. The LP. is a white arrow painted on the solid rock on the right bank of the channel. RECORDS AVAILABLE. The discharge measurements were taken since the establishment of the stations and are referred to the gauge at Minaki which has been operated since September 24, 1913. Daily discharge records are available since that date. The discharges of these stations must be combined to give the total discharge of the Winnipeg river at that point. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area above the section is 27,500 square miles. GA1 GE. The gauge r PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRK SURVEY 45 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f CHANNEL. The South channel is approximately 400 feet wide and is composed of rock and not subject to shifting, the control for the section being the crest of the falls !>00 feet below. The banks are high enough to ensure that under flood conditions no overflow will occur. The channel is straight and free from eddies under nearly all conditions. The North channel is much narrower. It is also composed of clay and solid rock and free from likelihood of shifting, the control being 50 feet below. The channel is straight both above and below the section for a sufficient distance to ensure freedom from eddies. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Sufficient meterings have been made to define the discharge curve over a range of 3*0 feet. Forty-six in all have been taken on the North channel, while thirty-five have been taken on the South channel. ACCURACY. The discharge curve is well defined between gauge heights 1033 and 1036 ^ .P.S datum; above and below those heights the curve is only fairly well defined. Takm by W. J. [reland.

HISTORY. A number of meterings of the Winnipeg river were made by various interested parties between March, 1000, and October, 1911. These have all been referred t<> gauge heights in the bailrace of the City of Winnipeg Plant at Point du Bois, though they were taken at various points on the river. On October 1, 1911, a metering station was established at Slave falls by I). L. McLean. This is a cable station and has been operated on all measurements taken at this point since t he above date. All meterings to the end of 101 I are referred to the gauge in the tailrace at Point du Hois. In June of 1915 a Gurley automatic water stage register was established above Slave falls. A relation between this gauge and the Point du Bois tailrace gauge has been obtained and all records for this station for the vear 1915 refer to the stage at Slave falls. LOCATION OF SECTION. The metering section is located about two hundred and fifty feet above the crest of the Slave falls, which is about four miles below the City of Winnipeg's plant at Point du Bois. The LP. is a chisel mark on the rock marked by paint, on the light bank near the cable carrier. Taken bj \\ , J. [reland. Winnipeg River Slave I ills New Towers fob Metering Station Taken by W. J. Ireland. Winnipeg River — Slave Falls — Automatic Gauge Hoi -k. RECORDS AVAILABLE. By referring the meterings made to the Point du Bois gauge, continuous records of daily discharge have been computed from January of 1907 to the end of 1915. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area above Otter falls is 50,500 square miles, and above Slave falls the area is 49,700 square miles. GAUGE. A vertical staff gauge is located about seventy-five feet downstream from the section on the right bank. This gauge is referred to B.M. 189 A: a rock bench mark situated about twenty feet from the gauge. The automatic gauge referred to above is located about four hundred feet above the meter section on the left bank, and is referenced to a brass cap bench mark bolted to the rock about thirty feet upstream from the gauge house. ill \V\KI.. The channel ia straight for one hundred feet above and one hundred and fifty feel below the gauge at nearly all stages. The bed is of solid rock with a few large boulders at the lefl side of the sect ion. It is permanent and all the water at all stages is confined to the section. DI8CB \ia.i. \i E IS1 REMEN CS. Discharge measurements have been taken covering practically the complete range in stage recorded since the establishment of the Btation, These measurements are made from a car travelling on a cable spanning the river at the section. \< !( i i; \i V. The discharge curve is well defined over the range in gauge height, both when plotted to the Slave falls and Point du Bois gauges. <>n account of the drop at the falls below the station there is no possibility of backwater effect. Also the Bection is an open water one at .•ill seasons, so that the open water rating applies the year round. The section is a very favorable one and the accuracy of ihe records is high 261 51 -*ts Taken bj W. J. Ireland. Winnipeg Riveb Slavi Falls Putting Wood Casino on Well fob Automatic Gauge.

HISTORY. The Pinawa channel was a high water or back channel of the Winnipeg river, and was utilized as a diverting channel for a power house built about nine miles below the inlet by the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company. At first the plant depended upon the stage of the river for water down this channel, but the rapid growth of the load necessitated the building of a diverting dam in the main river to ensure sufficient flow down the Pinawa channel. Meterings were made below the control dam by engineers of the Company from 1907-191 1. In May, 1912, a boat station was established on the Pinawa channel by Mr. A. M. Beale, for the purpose of collecting discharge data, and from that date records have been obtained at this station. In June of 1915 a cable station was installed to take the place of the boat station on practically the same section. LOCATION OF SECTION. The station is about two hundred feet below the control dam and six miles above the Winnipeg Electric Railway's plant on the Pinawa channel. The LP. is a point chiselled in the rock on the left hank of the channel and referenced by a rock painted, "LP." RECORDS AVAILABLE. A daily gauge record was obtained at the control dam by the Winnipeg Electric Railway Co. from April 28, 1906, to the end of 1914. The records are not continuous bul cover the greater part- of the period, and have been placed at the disposal of the Manitoba Hydro- metric Survey. The records of a Gurley automatic water stage register installed by this Survey in June of 191 1 are also available. Daily discharge estimates based upon a curve plotted from discharge measurements taken between 1907 and 191 1 are available. These cover the period of the years from May to October (the open water months). On account of back water due to ice jams in the channel below, estimates have not been made for the winter month--. Q w QB. A vertical staff gauge bolted to the upstream side of the control dam was set in place by the Winnipeg Electric Railway Co., and it is this gauge to which records are referred. This gauge is referred to W.P.S. datum. In May of 1915 a ( iurley automatic water Btage register was installed on 1 he upstream side of the control dam close to the righl bank, and from \hi\ I.'! the records of this gauge are available. The gauge is referred to W.P.S. datum. Taken by W. J. Ireland. Pinawa Channel — Cable Station Below Control Dam. CHANNEL. The channel is straight for one hundred feet above the section and the same distance below; the section is regular, being a rock cut channel, the water being confined to the channel at all stages. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements have been taken at frequent intervals since the establishment of the station, numbering in all. sixty, and covering a range of four feet in gauge height. diversion^. All the water passing through the dam passes the section but there is a diversion channel jii-1 above the dam down which water may be diverted. ACCUKAi ■> For the earlier years t he discharge curve is well defined, but since the power station baa been heavily loaded the load fluctuations may be noticed at the section making estimates of discharge rather susceptible to error.

WHITEMOUTH RIVER. The source of the Whitemouth river is in Whitemouth lake which lies in the South- eastern part of the province. The course of the river is generally North from the source to its junction with the Winnipeg river just below the Seven Sisters rapids on the latter stream. The drainage area of the river is 1,566 square miles. The upper part of the river Hows through that part of the country known as the Julius Muskeg, and as the name would imply is low and wet. The lower part of the valley is narrow, the land is fertile, and a consider- able portion has been cleared and is now under cultivation. The lower two miles of the river flows through a well timbered belt of country, spruce, oak and poplar of merchantable size being plentiful. The bed of the river is generally clay, but at the lower end rock ridges extend across the river bed and at one point form what is known as Whitemouth falls, which is near the mouth. The valley is generally from 30 to 50 feet in height, and the valley proper varies from 200 to 600 feet wide. WHITEMOUTH RIVER AT WHITEMOUTH. HISTORY. The metering section was established at Whitemouth on the river G. H. Burnhamon May 28, 1912. of thai name bv LOCATION OF SKCTION. The station is Located on the downstream side of the traffic bridge which crosses the river about nine hundred feet North-east of the C.P. Ry. station at Whitemouth, The IP. is marked by three wire nails driven in the handrail of the bridge directly above the south abutment and the intervals are also marked on the handrail. RECORDS \\ U LAB LI Daily gauge and discharge records are available from May 29, 1912, to the end of 1915 for the open water months. During the winters of 1912-13 and 1913-14 no gauge record- were obtained, l>ut during I lie winter of L914-15 records are available. 60 DEPART ME XT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area of the river above the station is 1,400 square miles. Much of this territory is low lying and of a swampy nature, lately it has been cross cut by the drainage system in connection with the construction of conduit for the Greater Winnipeg water supply, the Whitemouth being used as a discharge channel. This has noticeably affected the flow. GAUGE. A vertical staff gauge graduated to tenths is fastened to a pile of the bridge opposite station 91 of the section. It is referred to a B.M. consisting of an iron bolt sunk in a concrete pile near the bridge. An arbitrary datum is used. I II ANNEL. The river is divided into six channels by the pile bents of the bridge. The bed is of clay and liable to slight shifting. The depth over the section under normal conditions averages four feet. The banks are not subject to overflow. DISCHARGE .MEASUREMENTS. Sufficient meterings have been secured to define the discharge curve over a range of four feet in gauge height, for open water conditions. Under ice conditions a number have been taken but do not define the curve of discharge clearly. The measurements are made from the bridge. ACCURACY. The accuracy for the station curve is high over a range in gauge height of four feet, from 73*8 to 77-3. Discharge Measurements of Whitemouth River at Whitemouth, 1915. Date. Jan. 18.

Tht Red river, one of the most important flowing in the province of Manitoba, has its source near the central part of the State of Minnesota. It flows south and west to the town of Breckenbridge, then north to the International boundary, forming the boundary in that Stretch bet ween the States of Minnesota and North Dakota. The general direction of the river from Breckenbridge to lake Winnipeg, into which body of water the river empties, is North, though the river itself is very sinuous in its course, nearly doubling its length between the points mentioned. The drainage basin of the river is 1 16,347 square miles, of which 42.547 are in Minnesota and Dakota. 50,500 in Saskatchewan and 23, 300 in Manitoba. The valley of the river is not defined by high banks as in most cases, but the whole country slopes gently toward the river, which lies in a channel cut to a depth of from 25 to 50 feet below the plain. The Valley of the bed river is the oldest settled district in the Province, the land being practically all settled and farmed. Little standing limber is to be found, only clumps of elm and ash with poplar and Cottonwood being found along the river. The stream afforded the first means of access to the country, and was navigated for a cumber of years before the advent of the railways to the country between ( rrand Forks and lake Winnipeg. This traffic has however practically ceased to e\i>t except upon the stretch of the river between Winnipeg and the lake. The Dominion Govemmenl have built a dam and lock near the mouth of the river, and by operating it an eighl foot depth for navigation purposes is ensured between the lake and the city of Winnipeg. There an- a number of important centres which are Located along the river. Among those within the province of Manitoba are: F.iuerson, which is just north of the Inter- national boundary. Winnipeg, at the junction of the .\>siniboine with the \{rd, and Selkirk, about 22 miles below Winnipeg. In addition to these a number of -mall communities are ocatcd along the banks of the river. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETBIC SCRVEY 63 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f Metering stations have been located from time to time and maintained for certain periods at the following points along the river in the province of Manitoba: — 1. At the C.X.R. bridge at Emerson. 2. Three miles below Emerson. 3. At Elm Park bridge in Winnipeg. 1. At Redwood bridge in Winnipeg. TRIBUTARIES. The tributaries of the Red which enter that river within the province of Manitoba or close to its boundaries are: — Pembina river. Roseau river. Rat river. Morris river. Assiniboine river. Seine river. Of these the Assiniboine is the most important and is given a separate section in this report. The others are considered along with the Red river; they enter it in the order given from source to mouth. Records of discharge for the Roseau and Rat are fairly continuous, but for the others only isolated meterings are available and are therefore listed under the head of miscellaneous meterings. In the case of the Pembina, note should be made that this river flows partly through United States territory. Records of its discharge were kept by the United States Geological Survey at Neche, North Dakota, during the years 1903 to 1910 inclusive, and were included in Water Resources Paper No. 4. RED RIVER AT EMERSON. EISTOBY. Th< station was established by S. S. Scovil on May 3, 1912, and has been operated steadily from that date. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section a1 the time of the establishment of the station was Located on the down- stream side of the CX.R. bridge at Emerson. The LP. was at the intersection of the end posl of the bridge with the wooden handrail on the lefl hand end of the bridge on the down- stream side. In the spring of 1914, the old bridge was replaced with a aew one. < >n this new bridge i he section is located on the downstream side, the [.P. being located on the west side of the east abutment. This change moved the location of the section approximately twelve feet downstream. records \\ Ul \iu.k. 1 >:uly gauge height records have been kept for each open water season since the station was established and intermittent readings under winter conditions have been obtained for the same period. A discharge curve for open water and winter conditions has been constructed and from it estimates of daily discharge have been arrived at. 64 DEPAh'TMEXT OF THE 1XTEHI0R 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary to the river above this station is 34,600 square miles and practically all of it is south of the International Boundary. GAUGE. A nine-foot vertical staff gauge is secured to the sheet piling around the west pier, twenty feet upstream from the section and is used for the lower stages of the river. The records of the upper stage of the river are observed on a gauge placed on the east side of the ice breaker on the upstream side of the bridge. Both of these gauges are referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located on the left bank of the river about sixteen feet upstream from the west bridge abutment. This B.M. is set to M.H.S. datum. CHANNE] . The channel is divided by the bridge piers, otherwise it remains tin' same under all conditions. The bottom is hard clay inlaid with gravel. It is straight for four hundred feet above the station and five hundred feet below. The banks are high and not subject to overflow except under extraordinary conditions. The floods of 1879, 1882 and 1897 over- flowed the banks. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Measurements are taken from the downstream side of the bridge except under winter conditions when thev are taken from the ice. ACCURACY. A range in stage under open water conditions of 26.16 feet is covered, the discharge curve being well denned between gauge heights 749.0 and 765.0, beyond these limits the definition is not so good. Under ice conditions a discharge curve is well defined between the limits 749.0 and 751.5. Discharge Measurements of Red River at Emerson, 1915. Date. Jan. 22. May 13. Mar. 22 April 11 May 20.

Madden on August 10. 1914, the object of estab- lishing a station at this point was to secure some information regarding discharge with a view to making some determinations by slope measurements. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is situated on the downstream side of Elm Park traffic bridge which crosses the Red river at Elm Park within the city limits of Winnipeg and about four and one- half miles above the junction of the Assiniboine and Red rivers. The LP. of the section i- marked on (he wooden hand rail at the north end of the bridge mi the downstream side. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge height readings have been taken from August 19, 1914. mi. A number of discharge measurements have also been secured. The presence of the St. Andrews Dam in the Red river has a materia! effect upon tin discharge measurements taken at this point, but one of the objects of establishing the station was to secure records over thai period when the dam was opened. There have been no estimates made of daily discharge for this station. DRAINAGE \K1.A. Tin- ana tributary to the Ked river above Elm Park bridge is U, 060 square miles. A nine toot vertical staff gauge was spiked to the wooden ice breaker opposite station 160 mi the metering section. This was replaced on November 6 by a vertical staff gauge which was fastened to the concrete pier in midstream and just below the ice breaker. The gauge is referred to Mils datum. PROGRK» REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SCRVEY 67 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f CHANNEL. The channel is straight for 1,000 feet above the section and 1 ,500 feet below, the banks are high and not liable To overflow, the bed of the channel is composed of sand and clay and some- what liable to shifting. The channel itself is divided into two channels by a centre bridge pier. t DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The discharge measurements are taken from the downstream side of the bridge. ACCURACY. Owing to the effect of the operation of the St. Andrews Dam, it has not been possible to construct a discharge curve for this station. Primarily the station was established with the object of making slope discharge experiments, under conditions obtaining when the dam was closed, but owing to the distance that the water is backed up beyond the station, sufficient fall could not be obtained in a stretch of several miles to render the results obtained at all reliable. When the dam is open the discharge measurements are quite reliable. Discharge Measurements of Red River at Elm Park, Winnipeg, 1915. Date. Engineer. Meter. No. Width. Lrea of Section.

RED RIVER AT REDWOOD BRIDGE, WINNIPEG. HISTORY. A gauge was set on the Red River at the Redwood bridge in the City of Winnipeg on August 21, 1912, by G. H. Burnham, in connection with the work of the Red River survey, and from that time intermittent gauge readings have been obtained at this point. location of gauge. The Redwood bridge crosses the Red River on Redwood Ave. in the City of Winnipeg about three miles downstream from the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. The gauge is located inside the ice breaker and facing the upstream side of the bridge, and is referenced to a B.M. set to M.H.S. datum, on the topof the bridge pier adjacent to the gaugt RECORDS AVAILABLE.

Tin' Roseau river is the largest tributary entering the Red river from the east within the Province of Manitoba. The mouth of the Roseau is about 12 miles north of the International boundary and it drains the territory lying to the west and south of the Lake of the Woods. The general direction followed by the Roseau is northwest, but the actual course of the river is very sinuous, about half of its length lying in United States territory. The banks of the river vary from ten to twelve feet in height and are cut sharply down from the prairie level. The river bottom and banks are composed chiefly of heavy clay. The drainage area is 1,987 square miles, 890 square miles being in Manitoba and 1,097 square miles in the State of Minnesota. A large part of the drainage area is under culti- vation, there being little standing timber in that part within the province. What there is consists mostly of elm. ash and oak, very little of which is of commercial size. ( 'onsideralile drainage work has been done in the basin, especially on the United States side of the line. There are no towns of any size to be found along the river, but three small villages are mi located; these are Sprague, near the International boundary on the Ridgeville branch of the C.N.R., Stuartburn on the same line and Dominion City located at the crossing of the Emerson branch of the C.P.R. Dominion ( 'ity has a population of about 200. Discharge measurements have been made at various sections on the river since the establishment of the Survey in 1912. The sections were used and then abandoned in favor of more suitable one- for various reasons anil are as follows: — 1 . At Dominion ( 'ity. 2. At Baskerville's barm. 3. At Mayne's farm. 1. Below Dominion City, in use at present. The records and results obtained at these station.- follow. ROSEAU RIVER AT STUARTBURN. HISTOR1 . On May 7. 1915, a metering station was established on the Roseau river at Stuart- burn, Manitoba, by A. Pirie, and the station was operated throughout the open water season <>i that year. PROGRESS REP0R1 OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRH SURVEY 69 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f LOCATION OF SECTION. The station established by A. Pirie was located on the downstream side of the C.N. Ry. bridge about five hundred yards east of Stuartburn station. On June 6 a section was chosen two hundred and eighty-five feet downstream from the above mentioned bridge and at this point a cable carrier station was established. The Initial Point is a large permanent hub placed between the left bank cable support and the water's edge. RECORDS AVAILABLE. From the time of the installation of the gauge on May 7. continuous records of gauge readings are available up to November 15 of the same year, at which time ice cover conditions were met with. Discharge measurements were taken at various times thoughout this period, covering a range in stage of 3"3 feet, and from these estimated daily discharges have been computed. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the river at this point is 1.520 square mile-. A nine-foot staff gauge secured to a two by four inch scantling driven into the bed of the stream near the left bank at the C.N.R. bridge. The gauge is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. set to an arbitrary datum and located about sixty-five feet northwest of west end of bridge. CHANNEL. The bed of the stream is composed of sandy silt and liable to shift during flood. The banks at the section are high and not liable to overflow. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. All discharge measurements since the discontinuance of the bridge station are made from a traveller suspended from a cable from which the meter is lowered into the stream at the points of measurement.

THE RAT RIVER. The drainage area of the Rat river from its source to its month comprises 997 square miles. The northern boundary of this area is formed by the watersheds of the Whitemouth and Seine rivers, while its southern limits consisl of the northern slope of the watershed of the Roseau river. The west branch of the river takes its rise in the country lying to the southeast of the town of Woodridge on the Ontario Branch of the Canadian Northern Railway, and is con- fined chiefly to Tp. 3, R. 1 1. E.P.M. The first ten miles of its course the river has a south- westerly bearing, from this latter point ii Hows northwest for about four miles, then nearly due south for three miles, then north for about six miles. This latter point lies about two miles east of the town of Zhoda. from this point it Hows through a Bwampy and marshy country due wesl for about eighteen miles and then in a northwesterly direction to its mouth at the Red river. The territory drained is generally flat prairie country, except in the upper reaches, where the land i- inclined tu be wet and swampy. Nearly all the drainage area i- under cultivation, the settlement being about the oldest in the province. RAT RIVEK \T OTTERBURNE. BISTORT. The station was established 1>\ S. S.

The [.P. is marked by a spike driven in the south end of the downstream railing PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 75 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f RECORDS AVAILABLE. A daily gauge height record has been kept for the open water periods from May 23. 1913, to date. During the winter periods an intermittent record has been kept and is mailable. Estimates of daily discharge have been prepared based upon the rating curve constructed from the meter record--. DRAINAGE AREA. The area drained is 650 square miles. The basin lies between the Roseau on the south and the Seine and Whitemouth on the north and east. GAUGE. The gauge is a nine-foot vertical staff gauge secured to a pile sixteen feet from the left bank at the section. This gauge is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located about 30 feet southwest from the gauge. The B.M. is set to an assumed datum. CHANNEL. Above the station the channel is straight for two hundred feet and for one hundred feet below. There is one channel at all stages. The bottom is of clay and liable to shift. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements are made from the downstream side of the bridge. A range in stage of 8.4 feet has been defined on the rating curve. Under winter conditions it has been possible to obtain a rating. DIVERSION-. The C.P.R. has constructed a dam four miles below the metering station and use tin- pond created as a source of supply. Under low water conditions it is reported the company utilize the whole flow of the river. ACCURACY. From gauge height 88.30 to 92.40 the discharge curve is well defined, from 92.40 to 96.70 it is fairly well defined. It is not possible to define a discharge curve for winter condition-.

SEINE RIVER AT STE. ANNE DE CHENES. HISTORY. On October 4, 1912, u metering station was established on the Seine river near Ste. Anne des Chenes, but observations were discontinued on November 1 1 of the same year, and no further information was obtained at this point until May 1, 1915. when operation- were again commenced in an endeavour to obtain a rating of the river. LOCATION OF SECTION. The Seine is a tributary of the Red river and joins same in the City of St. Boniface. The metering station is located about one mile east of the town of Ste. Anne des ( Ihenes on the downstream side of the C.X. Ry. bridge at this point. The Initial Point is a bolt on the west end of the bridge. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Records of gauge readings are available from October 4 to November 11 for the year 1912, and from May l to November 12 for 1915.

In the prairie country the banks are sharp cut, rising abruptly from the water's edge for a height varying from three to twenty-five feet . In the wooded sect ion or the upper pari of the drainage area the valley is well defined and narrow, the rise from the river in some places reaching an elevation of two hundred and fifty feet above the water level. In the lower part of the river basin the land is nearly all under cultivation, the soil is rich but in the valley bottom it is subject to overflow. It flows through the most densely poiiulated part of the Province, 1 he three largest cities. Portage La Prairie. Brandon ami Winnipeg being built upon its banks. The importance of this river as a source of water supply, a means of drainage and sewage disposal is great in a district where the natural water supply is somewhat limited. In order thai a study may properly be made of its regimen and data for various purposes be gathered several gauging stations have been established.

HISTORY. The station on the Assiniboine river at Millwood was established by W. G. Worden on October 11/1912, and has been in operation since that time. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located on the downstream side of the traffic bridge, four hundred feet below the dam, one-quarter of a mile south from the town and one-half mile below the C.P.R. bridge. The LP. is an arrow cut and painted on the top of the wooden hand rail of the bridge at the northeast corner on the downstream side. It is marked "O+OO IP." RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge height records are available for the station from October 11. 1912, to the end of 1915, except for the period February 9 to March 28, 1914. Estimates of daily discharge are available from January 27, 1913, to the end of 1915, except for the above period. DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary to the Assiniboine river above the station is 7,590 square miles. GAUGE. A 12-foot vertical staff gauge is secured to the centre pier of the bridge on the down- stream side; it is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located 75 feet southeast from the downstream side of the bridge on the left bank. This B.M. is set to an assumed datum. rakea bj r. n Assiniboine River- \l i m w Bmooi ntou Uklow, Showinu Gauub. 251 7 82 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 I HANNEL. For four hundred feet above the section and two hundred feel below the channel is straight. The river at all stages occupies one channel, which is divided just above the section by a central pier of the bridge. The bed of the stream is clay, sand and gravel and not subject to shifting. The banks are low and liable to overflow al high stages. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The discharge measurements are taken from the downstream side of the bridge and cover a range in stage under open water conditions of 8"3 feet. ai CURACY. Under open water conditions the discharge curve is well defined between the limits 98'91 and 1074. beyond which it is not well defined. The discharge curve for ice conditions is fairly well denned between gauge heights 97'5 and W~). Discharge Measurements of Assiniboine Rr *ek at Millwood, 1915. Date. Engineer. Meter. No. Width.

ASSINIBOINE RIVER AT BRANDON. HISTORY. The station on the Assiniboine at Brandon was established on July 4, 1912, by G. H. Burnham and has been operated since that date. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located on the downstream side of First Street traffic bridge, locally known as the Iron Bridge, in the city of Brandon, Manitoba. The LP. is marked on the iron railing on the downstream side of the bridge at the south end. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Neatly continuous records of daily gauge heights arc available from July 4, 1912, in the end of 1915. I Csti mates of daily discharge have been made for i ho same period. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area of the Assiniboine river above Brandon is 34,500 square miles. GATJG] . A nine-fool vertical staff gauge is nailed to the ice breaker fifty feet upstream from and •pposite station 1 +ti() on the metering section, I II \\\KL. For three hundred feel upstream and one hundred and fifty feel downstream the channel is straight. It is divided at the section into three parts by the bridge piers. The bottom is of mud and liable to shift, especially at high stages. The banks are high bul liable to overflow at high staj PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f 85 DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The meterings are made from the downstream side of the bridge. They cover a range in stage under open water conditions of 12 "5 feet. ACCURACY. Between gauge heights 97 -5 and 104 "1 the discharge curve is well defined, between 104 -1 and 110-0 it is fairly well defined, above and below these limits it is not well defined for open water conditions. Between gauge heights 96*5 and 98*0 the discharge curve for winter conditions is fairly well defined. Discharge Measurements of Assiniboine River at Brandon, 1915. Date. Jan. 4. 26. Mar. 22 .

ASSINIBOINE RIVER AT HEADINGLY. HISTORY. The metering station was established on April 9, 1913, by S. S. Scovil and has been operated since that date. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located on the downstream side of the C.X.R. bridge, which crosses the Assiniboine river one-quarter mile from the C.N.R. Headingly station. The LP. is marked on the flooring at the north end of the bridge on the downstream side and is painted white, "Init. Pt. 0+00." RECORDS AVAILABLE. Gauge height records are available from April 17 to November 23, L913, and for the years 1914 and 1915. Estimates of daily discharge have been prepared from April 17 to November 23, 1913, June 1 to March 1, 1914, and from April 22, L914, to the end of 1915, except for part of November, 1914. The area drained by the Assiniboine river above Headingly is 59,420 square mile GAl '.i A nine-loot vertical staff gauge is fastened to the north abutment of the bridge and is nad in summer. A winter gauge, three-fool staff, is fastened to the ice breaker for winter readings. Both are referred to the same arbitrary datum. 88 DEPARTMENT OF THE IXTF.KIOR 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 CHANNEL. The channel is straight above and below* the section for a considerable distance. The stream is divided into four channels by the three central piers of the bridge. The bottom of the si re:i in is of gravel and mud and not liable to shift . The right bank is low and wooded and liable to overflow at higher stages. The left bank is high and not liable to overflow. DISI H \ia.i. Ml. ISUBEMENTS. The meterings have been made from the downstream side of the bridge in the open water season and in the winter they have been made from the ice at a point about four hundred feel upstream from the bridge. \< CI i; \( y. Between gauge heights 75 5 and 80 9 the discharge curve is well defined. Under ice conditions between gauge heights 73 '8 and 76 1 the discharge curve is fairly well defined.

SHELL RIVER. The Shell river is one of the largest tributaries of the Assiniboine, emptying into that nvcr in Tp. 23, R. 29, W.P.M. The source of the river is on the northwestern slope of the Duck mountains, which it parallels for a considerable distance, the course being almost due south for the entire length of the river. About five miles from the junction with the Assiniboine it turns sharply to the west and flows in that direction to its mouth. The watershed drained is narrow, lying between that of the Valley ami the A.-siniboine, excepl at the upper part, where it opens out to a width of about thirty-five miles. The total Length of the basin being about sixty miles, though the river itself has ••! length of ninety miles. In the upper part of the basin the river flows through the Duck Mountain forest reserve, a districl in which valuable timber is to be found. The valley of the river is narrow and quite deep, varying bet ween one hundred and three hundred and fifty feet. The valley itself is gravelly and boulder strewn, but the land forming the upper benches and table land is good for agriculture. At Asessippi, the only town located on the stream, a small Hour mill was operated by water power from L884 to L911, in which year the dam was washed out. SHELL RIVER AT ASESSIPPI. HISTORY. The fust metering oi the shell at Asessippi was taken by W.J. Ireland on September I5j L913, bul the point at which the measurement was made was not considered Suitable for a permanent section. This point was at the bridge just below the dam. A -ee,,ml section wae established by !•'.. .1. Budge on January L6, l'.'l I. one-quarter mile below the bridge, this latter section was afterwards abandoned for I which WSS located by I 0 Mien on .luue 9, l'.'l I PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 91 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f LOCATION OF SECTION. The section finally located on the Shell river at Asessippi is one and one-quarter miles downstream from the Asessippi bridge, two miles below the mouth of Bear creek, thirteen and one-half miles from Russell and twenty miles south of Roblin. The LP. is marked by a nail driven in the base of a blazed tree which is on the right bank. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge heights have been obtained since June 9, 1914, and estimates of daily discharge for the same period have been made. DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary to the Shell above the meter section is 930 square miles. It lies between the watersheds of the Yallev river on the east and the Assiniboine on the west. A six-foot vertical staff gauge was placed six hundred feet downstream from D. Mart el's house and about one mile above the meter section. The gauge is referred to a B.M., which is a nail driven into the foot of a blazed scrub oak tree standing fourteen feet back from the gauge. The datum is arbitrary. On November 18, it was discovered that back water effect was being caused between the gauge and the meter section by beaver dams. A new gauge was therefore established at the meter section, which was referred to a temporary bench mark placed on the side of a blazed 6-inch poplar tree standing one hundred feet above the meter station on the right bank. CHANNEL. For sixty feet above the section and one hundred and fifty feet below the channel is straight. The bottom is of small rock and gravel and is permanent. The banks are high and clear and are not liable to overflow. The current is swift. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Measurements are made by means of a cable carrier travelling on a cable stretched across the stream at the section. Sufficient measurements have been taken to define a discharge curve. U CURACY. The curve is well defined over a range in stage of 13 feet for open water conditions. Discharge curve for winter conditions is not so well defined.

BIRDTAIL CREEK. Birdtail Creek is one of the small tributaries of the Assiniboine river. It joins the latter in Indian Reserve No. 57. The source of the river is on the south slope of the Riding mountains and the course is generally south from the headwaters to the mouth. The upper part of the drainage area, which is 400 square miles, is very well timbered, and lumbering has been carried on in the district. Towards the mouth the land is given up to agriculture. There was some question of a small power development on the river, so records of the discharge have been kept. These show that the power output would be very small and subject to interruption during the winter months. BIRDTAIL CREEK AT BIRTLE. history. This station was established May II. L914, by C. O. Allen. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is Located on the downstream side of the Birtle traffic bridge, on the road between the C.P.R. station and the town of Birtle, one mile from the C.P.R.

The drainage area is 400 square miles, extending from the Hiding mountains southeast to the Assiniboine. GAUGE. A vertical staff gauge is secured to the floor of the bridge and is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. This B.M. is set to an arbitrary datum about forty feet northeast of the upstream north end of the bridge. CHANNEL. The stream is confined to one channel at all stages; for two hundred and fifty above and one hundred feet below the section the channel is straight. The current is fairly swift and the banks are high and clear and not liable to overflow. The bottom of the stream is of mud and hard clay, not liable to shift. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The measurements are taken from the downstream side of the traffic bridge under open water conditions. For winter conditions measurements are made from the ice. ACCURACY. The discharge curve is only fairly well defined over a range in gauge height of three feet, extending from 88 -5 to 91"). Discharge Measurements of Birdtaii. Creek at Birtle, 1915. Kimineer.

It flows in a general southeastern direction until it reaches the town of Minne- dosa in Tp. 15, R. 18, W.P.M. at which point it turns and flows almost southwest to its junction with the Assiniboine river in Tp. 10, R. 20, W.P.M. about eiglrl miles wesl of the city of Brandon. The drainage area is 1,640 square miles. In the upper part of the basin fchefle arc numerous small lakes, and in this section the greater part of the drainage is obtained. The largest tributary, the Rolling river, enters the Little Saskatchewan aboul thirteen miles above Minnedosa. In the upper waters the country is covered to a considerable extent by stands of good merchantable timber, a considerable portion of which is within the forest reserve. The of the country drained is very well settled, the land offering splendid opportunity for agriculture. The river valley is well defined, lying between l()(i and 300 feet below the general level of the surrounding country. It varies in width between one-quarter of m mile and one and one-quarter miles, the course of the river in the valley bottom being very sinuous, almosl doubling its length over the total length of the drainage basin. A number of small towns are to be found along the course of t he river, as Rivers, < iautier, Rapid City, Riverdale and Minnedosa, the latter having a population of aboul 1,700. There arc possible power sites on the river, three of which have been developed, these arc at Minnedosa, Rapid City and the Brandon Power Company's plant aboul two miles from the mouth of the river. LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT MIDDLETON BRIDGE. HISTORY. A metering station was established on the Little Saskatchewan at Middleton Bridge in May 17. 1915, by E. IV Patterson, and from thai date this station has been in operation. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f 97 LOCATION OF SECTION. The metering section is located on the downstream side of what is locally known as Middleton bridge, situated in Sec. 6, Tp. 20, R. 20, W.P.M., and approximately eighteen miles north of the town of Elphinstone. The Initial Point is painted on the east end of the handrail of the bridge. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge readings have been taken from the time of the establishment of the station to the end of the year 1915. Discharge measurements have been made at various stages throughout this period, and from these estimated daily discharges have been computed for a period from May 17 to November 9, 1915. From the latter date to the end of the year ice cover conditions prevailed, and the information obtained is not sufficient to allow the estimating of daily discharges. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the river at this metering station is 184 square miles. GAUGE. A six-foot vertical staff gauge has been secured to a pile on the drownstream side of the bridge near the left bank. This gauge is referred to a B.M. on a 10-inch blazed poplar tree, twenty feet west of the bridge on the north side of the road. This B.M. is set to an arbitrary datum. CHANNEL. The section of the river on which the station is located is curved both above and below, but the current is sluggish and even across the section. On account of the bridge embank- ment the entire flow of the stream must cross the section even under high water conditions. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The discharge measurements are taken by wading during low water and from the bridge when medium or high water conditions prevail. ACCURACY. Throughout the stage met with during the time observations have been made on the river at this point the discharge curve is not well defined.

LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN AT ELPHINSTONE. HISTORY. A metering station was established on the Little Saskatchewan near Elphinstone on May 10, 1915, by E. B. Patterson, and observations have been carried on at this station since that date. I.ik ATIOX OF SECTION. The section is located on the downstream side of the traffic bridge known as Indian bridge, one and one-half miles north of the town of Elphinstone. The LP. is painted on the handrail at the west end of the bridge. RECORDS AVAILABLE. From May 10. L915, to the end of the year daily gauge heights have been recorded, and it various times discharge measurements have been made covering the greater part of the range in stage recorded by the daily gauge height. Estimates of daily discharge have been made for the period from May l<) to November L3. From November 13 to the end of tin- year iee cover conditions obtained, and sufficient information ha- not been Becured to allow the estimating of daily discharges for this period. in: UNAGE \uk \. The drainage area tributary to the river at this poinl is 380 square miles i, \i ..i \ six-fool enamelled stafl gauge ha- been secured to a pile on die upstream sid< gauge near the led hank.

The channel is straight for about one hundred feet below the section, but above it is curved for about three hundred feet; the right bank above and below the section is liable to overflow during high water, but the embankment would prevent overflow at the seel ion. The bed of the stream is composed of boulders and not liable to shift. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The discharge measurements at this station are taken either by wading during low water or from the bridge during high water. ACCURACY. Throughout the range in stage recorded by the daily gauge height the discharge curve is well defined. Discharge Measurements of Little Saskatchewan River at Indian Bridge. Elphin- stone, 1915. Date.

CLEAR CREEK. Clear deck is one of the tributaries of the Little Saskatchewan in the northerly section of the drainage area. lis source IS in Clear lake, from which it derives its name, and from a point at the westerly end of the lake in Tp. 20, K.l'.K W.P.M., it flows almost due west for a distance of nine miles to its junction with the Little Saskatchewan. The importance of this creek lies mainly in the fad of its being the outlet of Clear lake. At its head a storage dam has been built to conserve the run-off from the area tributary to the lake, for the use of the power developments on the Little Saskatchewan. CLEAB CREEK ABOVE JUNCTION WITH LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN. BISTORT. A metering -tat ion was established on Clear creek by E. B. Patterson on May 31, 1915, and from that time to the end of the year the station has been operated. I.im \ i lo.N OF SECTION. The section is located on the creek one mile upstream from its junction with the Little Saskatchewan. The Initial Point is a three-inch poplar post, three feel from the water's edge on the righl bank, and indicated by the painted letters "LP." RECORDS AVAILABLE. rroni the time of the establishment of the station gauge readings have been made tri-weekly. Sufficient meterings have been made to define a discharge curve covering the range in stage met with, and estimated daily discharges are available to the end of 1915. DRAINAGE \i;i . \ The drainage area tributary to the creek at the metering station is ninety-five square miles. PROGRESS RBPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 103 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f GAUGE. The gauge at this station is a six-foot enamelled staff gauge secured to a post driven into the bed of the creek and braced. Tins gauge is referred to a B.M. set to an arbitrary datum, located 50 feet northeast of Initial Point. The bench mark is a four-inch poplar stump painted red, marked " M.H.S. B.M. El. 100.00." CHANNEL. The stream throughout its course is very sinuous, but the station is located at a point where the channel is fairly straight. The bed of the stream is gravelly and not liable to change. During high water the left bank is liable to overflow, but this condition would not likely hold for any extended period. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The discharge measurements at this point are made by wading. ACCURACY. For the range in stage covered by the discharge measurements the discharge curve is well defined.

LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT BEILBY'S BRIDGE. HISTORY. The station on the Little Saskatchewan was established on March 18, 1914, by W. J. Ireland, under ice cover conditions. It was found when the ice went out that the location was unsatisfactory on account of eddies on the section, and a cable carrier station was established downstream from the bridge. This station has been in continuous operation since that time. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located four hundred feet downstream from Beilby's traffic bridge. It is twelve miles northwest of Minnedosa, five miles west of Clan William and one and one- half mile downstream from the junction of the Little Saskatchewan and Rolling rivers. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Records of daily gauge height have been secured from April 25, 1914. Sufficient meterings have been made to define a curve and estimate daily discharges during the open water season from April 25 to November 29, 1914, and from April L2 bo November 11, 1915.

LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT MINNEDOSA. HISTORY. A station was firs! established on the Little Saskatchewan at Minnedosa in October, 1912, by W. G. Worden at the highway bridge within the town. Tins was abandoned and later one was established by C. 0. Allen at the power house on July 13, 1914. This station i- -till in operation. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located on the upstream side of the traffic bridge crossing the Minnedosa Power Company's intake, and about three-quarters of a mile from the C.1MI station. KK< ORDS AVAILABLE. A gauge height record was kept at the old station on the highway bridge from October 11 to November 2, 1912. A record of daily gauge heighl has been kept at the head and tailwater of the Minnedosa Power Company from June 2, L914, to the end of the year 1915 DRAINAGE \UK\. The drainage area above Minnedosa is 1,200 square miles. The area is not significant in this case, as the station is only used to determine the discharge through the power plant . The gauge in the headrace is a six-fool vertical staff enamelled gauge fastened to the intake wall of the power plant on the left hand side. The tailrace gauge is a six-foot vertical enamelled gauge fastened to the side of the retaining wall in the tailrace mi the right hand Bide. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 109 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f CHANNEL. The channel at the meter section is that formed by the intake for the power plant. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Measurements are taken from the bridge across the intake. ACCURACY. Owing to the fact that the discharge is controlled entirely by the operation of the power station and quite irrespective of gauge heights, no discharge curve has been constructed.

HISTORY. A metering station was established on the Rolling river at Erickson's bridge on May 4. 1915, but it was only operated for a short time, owing to interference with the control points on the stream in this locality through the workings of beavers above and below the section. mm \ i [ON 01 SECTION.

SOURIS RIVER. The source of the Souris river is in the province of Saskatchewan, northwest of the town of Weyburn. The course of the river from its source is generally southeast crossing the International boundary into the State of North Dakota in Tp. 1, R. 34 West Principal Meridian. After crossing the boundary it bends northeast re-crossing the International boundary to the east of the boundary between Saskatchewan and Manitoba and flowing in a general northeastern direction to its junction with the Assiniboine river near the city of Brandon. The drainage area of the Souris (22,860 square miles) is very large when compared with the discharge as will be noted by reference to the following tables. The area drained is largely settled and under cultivation, the soil being of a gravelly nature lightly overlaid by an alluvial deposit. The land is largely open prairie and very little timber is to be found. The upper part of the river valley is not deep but as the mouth is approached the depth is increased until banks of from 150 to 200 feet are encountered. The district drained is about the most closely settled in the province and the question of water supply for various purposes renders the gathering of discharge data important. SOURIS RIVER AT MELITA. HISTORY. A metering station was established on the Souris river at Mclita on April 23rd and from that date observations have been made at the station. LOCATION OF SE< rlON. The station is located on the downstream side of the traffic bridge in River park in the town of Melita. The Initial Point is painted on the side of the railing at the west end of the bridge. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 117 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f RECORDS AVAILABLE. From the date of the establishment of the station to the end of the year 1915 daily gauge records have been obtained. Discharge measurements have been made at various stages of the river covering practically the entire range during the period, and estimates of daily discharge are available for the period from April 23 to November 13. From this latter date to the end of the year ice cover conditions prevailed and the information obtained was not sufficient to allow the estimating of daily discharges. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the river at this metering station is 10.673 square miles. GAUGE. A six-foot vertical staff gauge has been secured to the centre pier at the east end of the bridge close to the water's edge on the right bank. The gauge is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located fifty-seven feet southeast from the southeast corner of the bridge. This B.M. is set to an assumed datum. CHANNEL. The channel is straight for a distance of three hundred feet above the section and one hundred and fifty feet below. The banks are high and not liable to overflow. The bed is composed of sandy gravel and under ordinary conditions not liable to shift. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements are made from the bridge during all stages of the river. ACCURACY. The discharge curve throughout the range of stage met with Bince the establishment of i In -tation is fairly well defined.

All marked thus ' estimated TRIBUTARIES OF LAKE WINNIPEGOSIS. Practically all of the drainage wesl of lake Manitoba and between the Hiding mountains and the Saskatchewan river drains directly or indirectly into lake Winnipegosis. Three small lakes ad as intermediate basins and to these the greater part of the drain- age first finds its way, being drained from them into lake Winnipegosis. These lake- are: Red l >eer lake, into which Red 1 )eer river drains, is then drained by the same river into Dawson bay, an arm of lake Winnipegosis. Swan lake, drained by the Shoal river into Dawson bay which is the collecting basin for the Swan and Woody rivers. Lake Dauphin, drained by the Mossy river and having as tributaries among others. the Valley and Ochre rivers. The Fork river is a tributary of the Mossy. RED DEER R1VEB. The source of the Red 1 Jeer river is in Tp. 44, R.19 W.2.M, south of Melfort, Saskatche- wan. It flows in a general easterly direction into Red Deer lake, an expanse of the river, and also drains the lake into lake Winnipegosis. The total drainage area of the Red I Jeer is 5, 17s square miles, including Red I >eer lake which has an area of 10<> square miles. The valley through which the river Hows is deep and wide. In the upper portion the tributaries which head in small lake- and swamp- are Fir, l.toiniami. Pipestone and Barrier rivers, nearly all of which enter from the south. The upper portion of the drainage area is well timbered, growths of spruce and poplar of merchantable size being found. The Red 1 Jeer Lumber Company carry on lumbering operations on the river and operate a -aw mill on Red I Jeer lake, the logs being floated downstream to the mill. The Canadian Northern Railway crosses the river at Erwood, thirty miles wesl of the lake, and o spur fine has been buill in from Powell to touch the wesl end of the lake at Harrows. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 123 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f LAKE WTNNIPEGOSIS AT WINNIPEGOSIS. HISTORY. A gauge was set on lake Winnipegosis on May 22, 1913, by G. Ebner, and during the open water seasons daily gauge records have been obtained at this point. LOCATION OP GAUGE. A six-foot vertical staff gauge has been secured to a pile thirty feet north of Standard Lumber Company's wharf in the Mossy river and about 350 feet from the point where the river empties into lake Winnipegosis. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge reading- at this point are available from May 22 to October 27. and at intervals during November and December of 1913. from April 16 to November 15. in 1914, and from May 18 to November 16. 1915. RED DEER RIVER AT HUDSON > BAY JUNCTION. HISTORY. The station on the Red Deer at Hudson's Bay Junction was established by <;. Ebner on August 12, L913, and replaced a station established by E. Bankson on June 1. 1913, four hundred feet below the ferry. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter section is located at the ferry crossing of the Red Deer river five hundred feel below its confluence with the Elk river and three and one-half miles south of HucU Hay Junction on the road to the Red Deer Lumber Company's camp. The LP. is marked by a nail driven in a pile sixty feet from the water's edge on the righl bank at the ferry crossing. RE( ORDS AVAILABLE. Records of daily gauge height have been obtained from Jul; tober 31, 1913, April 30 to November 27, 1914, and from April 11 to December 31, 1915, \ few gauge heights are also available taken during the winter seasons. Estimated daily discharges cover the period July '.i to October 31. 1913, April 30 to November 27. 1914, and April I 1 to November 9, 1915. DB \i\ \'.i; \i;i. \.

The channel is straight for about five hundred feet above and below the section; the river is confined to one channel at all stages; the bed of the stream is covered with boulders and not liable to shift. The banks of the river are low wooded and liable to overflow at high stages. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Meterings are made from a boat by means of a small Price meter. ACCURACY. Eleven discharge measurements define the curve fairly well between gauge heights 99 8 and 103 0. Owing to the fact that the Red Deer Lumber Company operate a number of lumber dams on the upper waters of the river the records do not give a true idea of the natural regimen of the river.

The Swan river rises on the extreme northwestern slope of the Porcupine mountains- I' - course is generally smith and easl until it reaches a point in Tp. 34, K. •'! W.P.M. when it turns and Hows almost due northeast through the valley between Poivupine and Duck mountains into Swan lake. The valley between the two mountains is broad and dee]), bul nearly all the drainage entering this section of the river is from the south, most of the tributaries heading in the Duck mountains. To the north the basin is confined by the drainage area of the Woody river which follows a parallel course to the Swan. The hanks of the valley are an alluvial deposit of clay and gravel. The river has an average width of one hundred and fifty feet, the banks ranging from ten to fifty feel in height. The upper parts of the valley are largely covered with a timber growth, bu1 in the lower bottom lands mixed farming is extensively followed. The valley is well settled, the town of Swan River being the principal community. In 1909 an investigation of the power possibilities of the river was made and a site located in tin- vicinity of Swan river with a view to supplying that town with power. SWAN IM\ Id! AT SWAN RIVER. Tin- Swan River station was established by \\ . < r. Wbrden on October 12, I '.Mi', and has n operated since thai date. LOCATH IN hi SEI HON. The meter section is located on the downst ream side of the ni-u steel traffic bridge which spans the Swan river al the north end of the town of Swan River, Man. The IP is marked on the top of the south abutmenl al the east side. Taken by F S. Smith. Swan River — Swan River — Showing I. P. and Position of B.M. RECORDS AVAILABLE.

A metering station was established on the Woody river at Bowsman on May 31, 1915, by F. S. Smith, and since that time has been in operation. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section is located on the downstream side of a traffic bridge one mile south of the town of Bowsman. The Initial Point is painted on the lower bar, also on top of the hand rail at the north end of the bridge. RECORDS AVAILABLE. From the 31st of May to the 9th of November 1915, daily gauge readings and estimates of daily discharges are available. During this period discharge measurements have been made at the station and these are also available. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the Woody river at this point is 7;;i square miles. GAUGE. A chain gauge has been established at this station referred to a permanent M.ll.S. H..M Located forty-five feel easl <>f the north end of the bridge. This B.M. is Bel to an arbitrary datum. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRK SURVEY 131 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f CHANNEL. The channel is straight for about two hundred feet above and about six hundred feet below the section. The bed of the stream is of gravel and boulders and not liable to shift. The right bank is low and liable to overflow, but the embankment at the bridge confines the entire flow of the river to the channel at the section. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. All discharge measurements are made from the bridge. ACCURACY. Throughout the range of stage covered by the discharge measurements obtained, the discharge curve is well defined.

The Mossy river is the connecting link between lake Dauphin and lake Winnipegosis, draining the former into the latter. It heads in the extreme northern end of lake Dauphin and flows generally north for a distance of about twenty-one miles. The Fork and Fishing rivers are tributaries that have their sources on the eastern slope of the Duck mountains. All the basin of the Mossy river, with the exception of that supplied by these rivers, is gathered by the rivers tributary to lake Dauphin. These are the Valley, Turtle, Ochre, Wilson and Vermilion rivers. The upper part of the basin is well timbered, while the lower part is prairie country and used extensively for mixed farming. The banks of the Mossy vary between five and fifteen feet in height and are of clay overlying a bed of gravel. The river varies in width from 120 to 200 feet and has been considerably improved by dredging. The country adjacent to the river is very well settled, especially on the west side. The town of Winnipegosis, with a population of 600 people, is situated at the mouth of the river, and the town of Dauphin is the chief centre in the district. In 1908 the Department of Public Works made a survey of the river, with a view of lowering lake Dauphin. In connection with this project, dredging operations were carried on in the river between 1908 and 1912. A water power project has been looked into on the river near Winnipegosis, and a reconnaissance survey for this purpose was made by a field party of the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey, in the summer of 1913. MOSSY RIVER AT WILSONS FARM (BELOW FORK RIVEB This station was established on July 28, 191 1, by W. J. Ireland, and superseded the one at Lacey's farm owing to the difficulty in securing a gauge reader at thai point. Location OF SECTION. The meter section is looated on Wilson's farm t\\<> and one-half miles northeast oi Fork river. It is marked by a biased poplar tree whioh stands on the left bank just beta* the metering section. The [.P. is Located by a nail driven in the posl supporting the <:» I >l. ■ of the section on the left hand bank 134 DEPART M EXT OF THE 1STEKI0R 7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 RECORDS AVAILABLE. Daily gauge height records have been kept from July 3, 1914, to December 31, 1915. Daily discharges have been computed for a period from July 3 to November 16, I'M I. and from March 22 to November 10, 1915. The data secured has not been sufficient to permit the compilation of discharge under ice conditions, which held during the periods from November 16, 1914, to March 22, 1915, and from November 10, 1915, to the end of the year. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area is 3,950 square miles. GAUGE. A six-foot vertical staff gauge is located about nine hundred feet downstream from the section and thirty feet southeast from Mr. "Wilson's residence. The gauge is driven into the bed of the stream and braced to the shore. It is referenced to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located one hundred feet southwest from the gauge. CHANNEL. The channel is straight for one hundred and fifty feet above and three hundred feet below the section. The river is confined to a single channel under all stages. The bed of the river is of gravel and permanent. The banks are high and covered with scrub but not liable to overflow. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. Meterings are made by means of a cable carrier ninning on a cable stretched across the river. ACCURACY. The discharge curve is fairly well defined over the range in stage covered 1 ly t he meterings.

MOSSY RIVER AT LAKE DAUPHIN. HISTORY. ( >n May 20, 1913, a gauge was established at the bead of the Mossy river by ( >. Ebnerj and from thai date gauge readings have been recorded at this station. LOCATION OF GAUGE. The gauge is a six-foot vertical staff gauge secured to a support driven into the bed of the river and braced to crib of Clendenning's bridge. This bridge is across the Mossy river about one hundred and fifty feet below the point at which it flows out of Lake Dauphin, and the gauge registers lake level. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Gauge records at this point are available for the following periods, from May 21 to December 31, 1913, from January 1 to December 31, 1914, and from January 1 to September 30, 1915. VALLEY RIVER. The Valley river is a tributary of lake Dauphin; it rises on the western slope of the Duck mountains, flows south along the foot of the western slope of these mountains, then turns ea-i and flows between the Duck and Riding mountains and continues this generally easterly course to its mouth. There are two tributaries to the valley which are of fair size. These are Short creek, which rises on the slope of Hiding mountains, and Drifting river, which joins the Valley three miles west of Valley Kiver station on the C.N.R. The valley between the biding and Duck mountains, through which the river Mows and from which it takes its name, is about one hundred feet deep and from seven hundred to twenty-five hundred feet wide. The river at ordinary summer stages has a width of between one hundred and two hundred feet. The river bed is composed of gravel and boulders, the banks being of clay which overlies a gravel and boulder bed. The upper pari of the drainage area is practically all within the Duck Mountain Forest Reserve, where considerable stands of spruce, jackpine and poplar are to be found. In the immediate vicinity of the liver little clearing has been done, though in the lower part of tin- valley, and somewhat back from the river, farming is carried on to a considerable extent.

The metering section is located on the downstream side of the C.N.R. bridge crossing iIh Valley river fifteen hundred feet north of the railroad station in that town and one hundred and fifty feet upstream from the traffic bridge. The LP. is an arrow carved and painted on the downstream side of the bridge at the south end. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Records <>:' daily gauge heights have been secured for the greater part of the period October 2"). 1912, to the end of 1915. Estimates of daily discharge have been computed for the following periods: — October 25 to November 17, 1912, April 4 to November Kb 1913, April 25 to November Id, 1914. and from April 12 to November 17, 1915. There i.s not sufficient information to arrive at estimates of daily discharge under winter condition-. DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary to the Valley river above the station is 1,028 square mil'--. GAUGE. A twelve-foot vertical stall" gauge is secured to the downstream side of the south bridge abutment, 2H4 feet from the LP. on the section. The gauge is referred to a permanent M.H.S. B.M. located 48 feet south of gauge. This B.M. is set to an arbitrary datum. CHANNEL. During low stages the water is confined to one channel, but under high water conditions there are two. The channel is straight for 400 feet above and 600 feet below the section. The bed of the stream is of gravel and sand anil permanent. The right bank is low. wooded and liable to overflow. The left bank is high and not liable to overflow. DIS( HARGE MEASUREMENTS. Meterings are taken from the downstream side of the bridge and cover a range in gauge heighl of 66 feet. ACCURACY. The discharge curve is well defined between gauge heights 99.5 and 101.7, between gauge heights 101*7 and 10.70 the discharge curve is not well defined.

The rivers coming under this head are the Saskatchewan, Fairford and Dauphin, though they are included in that part known for administration purposes as the District west of lake Winnipegosis. The Saskatchewan is very important from a navigation, reclamation and power stand- point. The Fairford is also important and to some extent for the above reasons. Its chief importance is that it forms the only outlet of lake Manitoba and through it lake Winnipegosis, lake Dauphin, Swan lake and Red Deer lake are drained. SASKATCHEWAN RIVER. The Saskatchewan river is one of the principal tributaries of lake Winnipeg; it flows into that lake near the northern end and drains a large territory to the west of the lake. The total drainage area is 155,000 square miles, extending from the summit of the Rocky mountains eastward to lake Winnipeg. There are two main branches of the river, known as the North and South Saskatchewan. The north branch heads in the Rockies southwest of Edmonton, and flows generally east to its junction with the south branch about fifty miles east of Prince Albert. The tributaries entering the river from the north are small, as the northern limit of the basin follows the river itself closely. The south branch is formed by the junction of the Bow and Old Man rivers, and below the junction of these two the Red Deer enters. In the province of Manitoba the country adjacent to the river is low lying and swampy, a considerable portion of the level being liable to flooding during high water. Near the mouth the river enlarges into two lake-like expanses known as Cedar lake and Cross lake, from the hitter lake the river Hows into lake Winnipeg. Cross Lake rapids, Red Rock rapids and Grand rapids occur in this stretch of the river. In Manitoba the river has an average width of one thousand feet, though above ( iran.l rapids a minimum width of five hundred feet occurs. The river bottom above Cedar lake is composed of clay and gravel, below that point limestone ridges occur between which the bottom is covered with boulders. Valuable timber is to be found along the river at various points, hut generally speaking, as the lake is approached, the growth becomes stunted, being tor the most pari second growth. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MAXITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 143 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f Above Grand rapids the river is navigable at certain stages and steamers have been operating as far upstream as Edmonton. At present all navigation below Pas is confined to gasoline launches and like small craft. Considerable work in the way of reconnaissance and detailed surveys for various pur- poses has been done by the Dominion Water Power Branch in this part of the river, and in order to further the work, two metering stations have been established by the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey, one at Pas and the other at the head of Grand rapids. LAKE WINNIPEG AT WINNIPEG BEACH. HISTORY. A gauge was set on lake Winnipeg at Winnipeg Beach on May 1, 1913, and records of daily gauge readings have been kept since that date. LOCATION OF GAUGE. A nine-foot vertical staff gauge is secured to the inner side of the C.P.R. pier. The gauge is referred to a B.M. of the Canadian Geodetic Survey set in the concrete base at the southeast corner of the C.P.R. water tank at the Winnipeg Beach station. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Records of daily gauge readings are available from May 1 to October 31, and at intervals during November and December of 1913, at intervals during January, February and March, and continuous from April 2 to December 31 in 1914, and continuous throughout the year of 1915. LAKE MANITOBA AT DELTA. HISTORY. A gauge was installed on lake Manitoba at Delta on July !». 191 \. by CO. Allen, and observations as to lake level have been made practically continuously since that time. LOC \ i ION 01 OA1 GE. Delia is a small station on the C.N. R.v. located at the southerly end of lake Manitoba The gauge installed at this point is a six-foot staff gauge secured to the piling of the breakwater, a short distance south of the bridge across the canal. RECORDS \\ \n \iii.i;. During the year 191 I daily gauge readings are available from June L2 to the iiih of November, and from the 7th of December to the end of the year In 1915 the full year records are available. 144 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 7 GEORGE V. A. 1917 SASKATCHEWAN RIVER AT PAS. BISTORT. The station on the Saskatchewan river a1 Pas was firs! established by W. < >. Wbrden on October 21, L912. On May 27. 1913, a new section a1 Pas was established by E. Ban! and this station has been in operation since that date. I. cm ATH .\ of SECTION. The liist section was located aboul inic-i ruarter of a mile below the site of ih,- Hudson's Bay Railway bridge at Pas. On May 27, 1913, this section was moved upstream to the downstream side of the TLB. Railway bridge. The I. P. is located on the handrail Dear the south end of the bridge on the dow ust )■( -am side, and is vertically above the river face of the south abutment. It is painted white and marked "0 + 00 LP." i;i;< ORDS AVAILABLE. Records of daily gauge height were kept at various intervals from th early paii of 1912 to the end of 1915. From October 21, 1012. to the end of 1915 the gauge heights are rather more continuous. Estimates of daily discharge have been computed for the periods ■ -. by daily gauge heights from April 13, 1013, to the end of 1915. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the Saskatchewan above l'as comprise.- the greater portion of Western ( 'anada lying between parallels 49 and .") 1 north latitude and between the Rocky mountains and lake Winnipeg. The total area is 149,500 square mile-. (. \1 OK. A twenty-foot vertical staff gauge has been fastened to the downstream side of the first pier from the south bank and 10 feet above the metering section. The gauge i> referred to D.P.W. JVM. No. 79, which is a cross on a copper plug set on the wot side of the BOUth abutment oftheH.B. Railway bridge, and is about three feet from the ground level. It i> marked P.W.D. B.M. No. 79. (II WXKI.. The river is divided by the bridge piers into six channel.- at low water and eiglll channels at high water. For 1,300 feet above and 2,700 feet below the section the channel i- straight. The bed of the river is covered with gravel and small boulders, but at the section the stream bottom is somewhat shifting. The right bank is high and not liable to overflow, the left bank is low and Uable to overflow at high stages. At extreme high water there is a -mall discharge through an overflow channel about 500 yards south of the bridge. DISCHARGE MEAS1 BEMENTS. The discharge measurements were taken from a boat on the first section established. Since May. 1913, the meterings have been taken from the downs! ream side of the H B. Ry. bridge. A< < i i; \( 1 . The discharge curve for the station is well defined between gauge heights 818*5 and ^22•7, between 822*7 and 828'0 the discharge curve exhibits all the characteristics which are peculiar to certain large rivers, in that the discharge for the same gauge height varies accord- ing as the river is on a rising or a falling Btage. Above gauge height 627*0 and below 818*5 the discharge curve i- fairly well defined.

The river is confined to one channel at all stages, the bed of the stream is of sand and gravel and fairly permanent. The bank-* are high, covered with scrub and are not liable to overflow. DISCH iRGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements in open water seasons are made from a boat located on the section by range poles, the distances between stations being determined by stadia or triangulation. ACCURACY. The discharge curve is only fairly well defined between the extreme limits of gauge heights which are 786*0 and 789*4. Owing to the hydraulic gradient the section may be considered an open water one, as very lit t It* ice forms at this point during the winter season.

FAIRFORD RIVER. The Fairford river forms the outlet of lake Manitoba. It empties into lake St. Martin, which in turn is drained by the Dauphin river. The Fairford river is quite short, a lake-like expanse known as lake Pinemuta occurring between lake Manitoba and lake St. Martin. Lake Manitoba, which has an area of 1,711 square miles, forms the basin into which practically all the territory, tying between the Assiniboine and the Saskatchewan rivers and to the east of the Riding, Duck and Porcupine mountains, drains. The soil is generally clay and suitable to agriculture. A considerable proportion of the area is timbered and in certain sections rock outcrops occur. Numerous lakes are also to be found; among these are lake Winnipegosis, lake Dauphin, Red Deer lake, Swan lake and many others varying in size from mere ponds to lakes of the size mentioned. The banks of the Fairford river vary from three to ten feet in height. At the upper or lake Manitoba end they are well defined, gradually flattening out below Fairford until they open out into wide, low lying marshy ground in the vineinity of lake Pinemuta. Below this lake they are somewhat higher but again change until they merge with the low swampy shores of lake St. Martin. The Fairford river varies in width from 500 to 900 feel and at two points-, one about one half mile below the outlet of lake Manitoba, flows over a low limestone ridge or bar. Some surveys of the river have been made by the Department of Public Works, with a \nw to improving it for navigation purposes. In addition to tins a water power reconnaissance survey was made in L913 by the .Manitoba Hydrometric Survey. FAIRFORD RIVER AT FAIRFORD. BISTORT. This station was established by G. H. Buraham on June 27, 1912, and ha* been in continuous operation since that date. PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f 151 LOCATION OF SECTION. The metering section is located on the downstream side of the C.N.R. bridge, which crosses the Fairford river at Fairford and is 2}/§ miles below lake Manitoba. The LP. is located on the north abutment of the bridge on the downstream side. RECORDS AVAILABLE. Records of daily gauge height have been obtained from June 27, 1912, till the end of December, 1915. A number of meterings have been taken during the same period. Owing to the change in slope due to rising and falling of lake Manitoba caused by the wind, it has not been possible to define a discharge curve for the station. DRAINAGE AREA. The area tributary to the Fairford river above this station includes the total drainage area of lake Manitoba and lake Winnipegosis, and is 31,900 square miles. GAUGE. A six-foot vertical staff enamelled gauge is fastened to the first bridge pier from the left bank and is referred to C.N.R. datum. CHANNEL. The channel is straight for 400 feet above and 500 feet below the section. It was originally divided by the fifteen bridge piers into sixteen sections at all stages. In 1914 the bridge was replaced by a steel structure resting upon piers which divided the channel into four sections, the old pile bents being removed. The bed of the stream is gravel and not subject to shifting. The banks are high though subject to overflow at high stages. DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS. The meterings are made from the downstream side of the C.N.R. bridge, the station being an open water station the year around. \t ii RACJ . Owing to the wind effect on lake Manitoba and the consequent range in Btage and its effect upon the slope of the river, it has not been possible to define a discharge curve for this section.

GENERAL. The rivers of importance entering lake Winnipeg from the east are: — Brokenhead, Winnipeg, Manigotagan, Bloodvein, Pigeon, Berens. These tributaries drain the territory to the west of the watershed of the Great Lakes and Hudson's Bay. Practically all of this country is unsurveyed, so that it is not possible to delimit accurately their actual drainage basins. Practically all the drainage area lies in the Laurentian formation, small lakes and ponds abound and a considerable portion of the surface is covered by muskeg. The rivers are generally in the nature of a series of pools or small lake-like expanses, connected by short narrow channels which are interrupted by falls and rapids. Small stands of merchantable timber are to be found throughout the district, being composed of spruce, jack pine, poplar and birch. Of the above rivers the Winnipeg is dealt with separately, and of the remainder, con- tinuous records of discharge are available for the Brokenhead and Manigotagan; for the Berens and Pigeon livers, individual meterings have been obtained. BROKENHEAD RIVER. The drainage basin of the Brokenhead river lies in the narrow strip of country between the basin of the Winnipeg and Whitemouth rivers on the east and of the Red river on the west. The river flows northwesterly and empties into lake Winnipeg. The drainage area is 910 square miles, the basin being 22 miles in width at the widest point and apprxoimately 75 miles long. The greater portion is low lying and empty, though at the lower end pari has been placed under cultivation by the aid of drainage work. The whole area can be reclaimed. The banks are low and the. stream bed is of clay, with boulders occurring in some sections BROKENHEAD RIVER AT SINNOT. HISTORY. The station on the Brokenhead at Sinnot was established by G. H. Burnham on May 30, 1912. LOCATION OF SECTION. The section is located on the downstream side of the traffic bridge and is nine hundred feet northeast of the C.P.R. station at Sinnot. The LP. is marked by a group of nails driven into the floor of the bridge on the downstream side and vertically above the face of the south abutment. REC"i;i>- W \ll ABLE. Records of daily gauge height have been secured for the periods June 8 to Novem- ber 30, 1912, April 29 to November 30, 1913, and April 13 to December 31, 1914, and from January 1 to December 31, 1915. A number of meterings have also been secured and estimates of daily discharge have been prepared for the above periods, with the exception of the winter periods of L915, when sufficient information is not available to allow the estimating of daily dischargee DRAINAGE ARI \ The drainage area tributary to the Brokenhead above Sinnot is .">:;u square miles.

MANIGOTAGAN RIVER. The Manigotagan river, also known as the Bad Throat river, empties into lake Winnipeg from the east about fifty miles north of Fort Alexander. The drainage area is approxi- mately three hundred square miles, though it cannot be definitely determined, as the river lies almosl entirely in unsurveyed territory. The general course of the river from source to mouth is northwest. There are a number of lake-like expanses in the river between Long Like and Turtle lake, these are known as Caribou, Musk Rat, Moose and Bull Frog lakes. At the mouth of the river the land is adapted to agriculture, being good clay land. Above Wood falls the country changes and rock otitcrops occur; these form barriers across the river, causing falls or rapids; between these the banks are high and rocky, or low, with .alleys leading back into muskegs. The river above Wood falls, for a distance of twenty-five miles has an average width of 175 feet. Above this point it is a series of small lake-like expanses or pools of several hundred feet in width joined by narrow stretches, which in the majority of cases are broken by falls or rapid-. The entiie drainage area is more or less covered with timber growth; this is not of mer- chantable size and is of inferior quality, consisting of spruce, scrub oak, birch and poplar. In the upper part a fringe of good spruce timber is to be found bordering the lakes. In 1913 a reconnaissance survey of the power possibilities of the river was made by a nt out by the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey. MANIGOTAGAN RIVER AT WOOD FALLS aiSTOBI . The station OB the Manigotagan was estahished on December 21 , 1912, by <1. J. Lamb, and has been operated since thai date. LOCATION OF SECTION. The meter -ret ion is located t wo hundred feet above i he lirM falls, known as \\ I falls. It is aboul one mile northeast of the Manigotagan post office and three miles from the arge island a1 the mouth of the river. The LP. is marked by a spike driven into a 12-inch tree which is blazed and stands near the water's edge on the left hank. PROORESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f RECORDS AVAILABLE. 157 A record of daily gauge height has been secured for the periods April 19 to October 31, 1913, April 18 to November 15, 1914, and from December 12, 1914, to December 31, 1915. Estimates of daily discharge have been computed for the same period, with the exception of periods of ice cover conditions, during which periods the information at hand i> not sufficient to allow the computation of daily discharges. DRAINAGE AREA. The drainage area tributary to the Manigotagan above the section is 375 square miles. Two gauges are in operation at this point. The first is a three-foot vertical staff enamelled gauge fastened to a two by four inch scantling which is driven into the river bed 135 feel below the meter section and in a small bay near the right bank above the falls. The second is a three foot vertical staff enamelled gauge fastened to a two by four inch scantling which is secured to the perpendicular rock face on the right shore one hundred feet below and facing Wood falls. Both gauges are referred to a B.M. which is located on a horizontal ledge of rock ten feet from the gauge below the falls, and is marked bv means of paint on the rock face, " W.P.S. B.M." CHANNEL. The river occupies one channel at all stages, it is straight for three hundred feet above and one hundred feet below the section. The banks are high and wooded and not liable to overflow. i>ls< HARGE MEASUREMENTS. Discharge measurements have been taken at this point by means of a canoe kept on the section line with the aid of a tagged line stretched across the river. ACCURACY. On account of the small number of discharge measurements taken at this point the discharge curve is not well denned. Discharge Measurements of Manigotagan River ubovi Wood Palls, 1915 Date.

SOU square miles and a length of approximately 300 miles. The headwaters lie near the heighl of land which forms the south and west limits of the Severn and Albany drainage basins. Many lakes are to be found in the district, though their areas are not well defined, as they are in unsurveyed territory. The country drained is typical of the Laurentian formation, abounding in muskeg.- and swamps with frequent rock outcrops. These rock outcrops form barriers across the river, and are the reason for the numerous falls and rapids. Some fifty-two falls and rapids OCCUr between the first fall which is five mile- from the mouth, and family lake, ami these vary in height between three and forty feet. Family Lake also forms the source of the Pigeon river, which parallels the course oi the Keren- and empties into lake Winnipeg a lew miles south of the mouth of the former river The Berens river was examined by a party sent out by the Manitoba Hydrometric Survej to determine its power possibilit ies. This survey revealed the fact that there are a number of feasible sites on the river. The country is not heavily timbered but is covered with a growth of small spruce poplar, birch and scrub oak. There is little merchantable timber to be found along the ri\ er Taken by D. B. Gow. Berens Riveb — Party Metering Berens River. Discharge Measubements of Berens River at Little Grand Rapids, L915.

PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRH SURVEY 161 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f NELSON RIVER. GENERAL. The Nelson river forms the outlet of lake Winnipeg, flowing through the central portion nf northern Manitoba and emptying into Hudson's Bay at Port Nelson. The Nelson river discharges all the water collected by lake Winnipeg from an immense drainage area, and it tonus one of the principal systems of the North American Continent, the basin comprising an area of 450,000 square miles. The territory drained varies from the open prairie forming the great central plain to the rugged and magnificent country found in the Rockies, between these extremes of physical characteristics all gradations may be found in the basin. The vegetation to be found covers as wide a ran^e. The western part of the drainage area is practically devoid of lakes, but in the south and eastern portions are to be found some of the largest fresh water bodies on the continent. These lakes are so situated in relation to the Nelson river that the maximum natural storage effect is exerted upon the flow of that river; in consequence the maximum discharge may be expected to approximate closely to the mean discharge. The river has a length of 430 miles, and in this distance the drop aggregates 712 feet. The potential power possibilities of the river are therefore apparent. In the upper reaches the liver has the appearance of a chain of lakes connected by short stretches of river which are interrupted by falls and rapids. These characteristics which hold for the upper 250 miles of river gradually change as the mouth is approached, the drop in the river not being as distinct but more in the nature of swifts and flat rapids, though the banks become high as the Bay is approached. The first expanse below the lake Winnipeg outlet is known as Playgreen lake, below which there are two channels known as East and West rivers. Sea falls is to be found on Mast river and the latter then expands into Pipestone lake. The junction of these two branches occurs in Cross lake. Below that point are Scpewesk. Split lake and Cull lake. 1 ne rapids and falls in order are Ebb and Flow rapids, Whitemud falls. Bladder rapids, Over the Hill. Red Rock and Chain of Rocks rapids: Manitou or Devil's rapids, Grand Rapids, Chain of Islands rapids, all being above Split lake. Below Split lake are Cull, Kettle. Long Spruce and Limestone rapids. The country adjacent to the Nelson river is practically unsettled, though on account of the building of the Hudson's Bay railway there has been considerable activity along the river. Tin- timber growth is scattered, including spruce, birch and poplar, and the clay Boil to he found is very fertile. A reconnaissance survey of the river was made by the late William Ogilvie in 1910 tor the Dominion Water Power Branch, also discharge measurements were obtained. After gathering miscellaneous records in 1912-13, a metering station was established in 1914 by the Manitoba Hydrometric Survey above .Manitou Rapids, and this lias been operated since that date NELSON RIVEE AT WARHEN'S LANDING.

The [.P. is marked on .a sloping face of rock northeasl of the gauge and is a wooden plug driven in a l1 2-inch hole drilled in the rock. RE( ORDS W ULABLE. Records of daily gauge heighl were secured from July 2 to October lb 1914, and from February 7 to April 10 and June 27 to October 9, 1915. A number of discharge measurements were taken over the same period. DRAIN \oi: V.REA. The drainage area tributary to the Nelson river is 450,000 square miles, of which 24,000 square miles lies below Shell rapids. The river drains lake Winnipeg into Hudson's Bay. Practically all Canadian territory lying south of latitude 53 and between the summit of the Rockies and lake Superior is tributary to this river. The gauge is a vertical staff enamelled gauge fastened to a six-inch spruce posl driven in the bed of the river and braced; it is further strengthened by being weighted with large boulders. The gauge is referred to a B.M. which is marked by a triangle painted in red on the face of the lock near the I. P. and marked "M.H.S. B.M." The datum of the B.M. i- an assumed elevation.

For fifteen hundred feel above the section and eight thousand feet below, the channel is straight. The river is confined to the channel at all stages, and has a depth on the section vary- ing between twenty and sixty-nine feet . The bed of the stream is of gravel and boulders and not liable to shift. The current is swift and the banks are high and wooded and not liable to overflow. DISCHARGE Mi: \si REMENTS. The meterings are made from a canoe held on the section by means of a stay line stretched across the river and supported on Boats. ACCURACY. No daily discharge estimates have been arrived at from the gauge heights and discharge measurements, as it has been found impossible to define a regular rating curve on account of the varying slope in the river due to the prevalence of high winds. 1 >im H \k<;k Measurements of Nelson Riveb at 4 Milks above Shell Rapids. 1915.

Jan I Dec. 31, 1914, 1915 PROGRESS REPORT OF THE MANITOBA HYDROMETRIC SURVEY 207 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25t KENORA POWER HOUSE, EAST BRANCH WINNIPEG RIVER HEAD AND TAILRACE GAUGES. The present tailrace gauge of the Kenora Power House was set in place by the employees of the Power House in the Fall of 1910. The headrace gauge was set in place in August of 1907, though the location has been slightly changed since that time. On June 24, 1912, both of these gauges were tied in to W.P.S. datum and records of daily gauge height have been taken since May 1, 1913, by members of this Survey. LOCATION. The tailrace gauge at the Kenora Power House is located about fifty feet downstream from the easterly end of the generator room. The headrace gauge is placed at the easterly end of the forebay about thirty feet above the rocks at the head gates of the plant. RECORDS AVAILABLE. From May 1, 1913, continuous daily dauge readings on these two gauges are available 208 DEPARTMEST OF THE IXTERIOR 7 GEORGE V.

A. 1917 SLOPE GAUGES ON WESTERN pUTLET, LAKE OF THE WOODS. BISTORT. In August of 1913, fourteen gauges were set on the western outlet of the Lake of the Woods. These gauges were set for the purpose of obtaining slope data in connection with discharge measurements taken on the western outlet at the Norman traffic bridge. The upper of these gauges is set to head-lake level, while the lower is set in the tailwater of the Norman dam. From the time of installation of these gauges, readings have been obtained during the time in which meterings have been taken at the Norman traffic bridge metering station. y. '■3 ce ci N £. O.
