NELiSON DIVISION. — MISCELLANEOUS METERING STATIONS. Inc'oniappleux, Yoho. Many of the inelerinn; stations were establisheti too late in the . ill to get a sufficient number of measurements to plot the hydrographs from which the daily flow data :ire computed. The available data on tlii-sc rivers are recorded as miscellaneous nicastiremonts. The stations on these rivers will be maintained during the coming year as regular metering stations. 8 Df:PARTMEXT OF THE IXTEIilOR 5 GEORGE v., A. 1916 OUTLINE OF WORK FOR NEXT YEAR. Up to the present time the yearly appropriation has not been sufficient to maintain the engineers in the field during the winter months. A few miscellan- eous winter measurements have been taken, but there are no complete yearly run-off records except on those rivers in the Coast division which do not freeze up. From the time the survey was organized, a particularly thorough study has been made of the irrigation streams in the dry Ix-lt, and for the last three years the data on these streams, during the irrigation period, are very complete. In the Nelson division the climate is humid, and little water is used for irrigation, the more important uses of water being for power, lumbering, and municipal water supply. It is readily seen that onlv seven or eight months run-oft records for each year greatly limit the value of these data. The situation as regards power and municipal water supply in the Kamloops division is much the same and, although the power possibilities may not be so great as in the Nelson tlivision they are equally in portant. If the appr«i)riation for the survey is sufficient, it is my intention to have the engineers who are making a study of power and municipal water supply, maintained in the field during the <-ntire year. To keep pace with the increasing demand for hydrographic data, it is essential that tho staff be sufficiently increased to maintain nine hydrographic parties in the field. New lines of railroad are rapidly opening up new country whicii will, in the near future, demand the utilization of the water resources. Transportation has been the big item in the maintenance of the parties in the field, and this, I think, should be n.inimized if the territory to be covered in tiie different divisions be divided as follows, and worked from the most central eitv or town.

U i BRITISH COLVilBU HYDROQRAPBIC SVRVET SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f DEFINITION OF TKRMS. The voluiiic of wiitor Mowing in a streani-run-off or discliargt' is cxpri'sscd in varioHs terms, each of which lias become associate(l witli a certain class of work. Some of the terms generally useil ar*-: "Second-feet." "gallons per minute," "discharge in second-feet per square mile," "Run-off depth in inches on drainage arcii," and "total run-off in acre-feet." "Second-feet" is an abbreviation fo' cubic feet per second, and is the unit for the rate of discharge of water flowing in a stream 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep, at the rate of 1 foot per second. "Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet of water flowing ])er .second for each scjuare mile of drainage area. "Run-off in inches" is the depth by which the drainage area would b(! covered if all the water flowing from it were uniformly distributed on the surface. It is used for comparing run-off with rainfall, which is usually given in inches. An "foot-acre" is equivalent to 48,5()0 cubic feet, that is, the quantity recpxired to cover an acre to the de|)th of 1 foot, and is commonly used in connec- tion with storage. rONVENIKNT i:(ilIVALENTS. The following is a list of convenient equivalents for use in hydraulic cd iiputations:- - 1 second-foot equals (i.24 British imperial gallons per second. 1 second-foot eciuals 7.48 United States gallons pi>r second. 1 .second-foot for one day covers 1 s(iuare mile 0.0371!) inch deep. 1 second-foot for one day ecjuals 1 .983 acre-feet. 1 acre-foot e(iuals 32.j,8o0 United States gallons. 1 inch deep on 1 square mile equals 2,323,200 cubic feet. 1 acre equals 43,.j()0 square feet.

GENER.M. METHODS OF STREAM MEASUREMENTS. In measuring the flow of streams the basic assumption is that the discharge of the stream varies with the stage, or in other words that for a given stage there is a corresponding discharge. Where this relation holds, it is possible, by taking a series of measurements of the disi'.iarge and noting the corresponding stages, to plot a curve which will give the relation between stage and discharge. Having determined such a relation, it is only necessary to take daily records of the stage of tin- stream in order to compute the daily discharge. The stage of the stream is measured by some form of stream gauge which gives the elevation of th.^ .surface of the water above a fixed datum. The types of gauges in use by this survey are the staff gauge, the chain gauge, and the recording gauge. The vertical staff gauge is used wherever possible. In some cases, however, where it is impossible to use a staff gauge, a chain gauge or a recording gauge is installed, depending on the different conditions encountered. 10 in:PART»F.yT of the interior 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 The standard method for the mcasurpinont of discharge is by the ust- of the tuireiit-ineter. The instrument used is the small Price electric current-meter (No. G23, manufactured by W. & L. E. (iurley. Troy, N.Y.). In this method the area of the section is determined by taking soundings at measured intervals across the stream, the mean velocity is determined by a series of readings of the current-meter, and from these two sets of measurements the discharire is calculated. Occasionally circumstances arise unih'r which it is permissible to use otl t methods for measuring discharge. In very small irrigation ditches, where the (los.^-scctional area of the water would greatly disturb the natural flow, an approximate measurement can bo made by means of surface-floats. The surface- float met hod is occasionally used for the measurement of flood discharges in very large streams where, owing to the high velocitv, the ordinarv equipment could not be used. From iiiv(>stigations made by this survev on the larger streams in this lirovmci'. the average velocity ranges from 8.') to ODO of the surface velocitv, so that the mean surface velocity in feet i)er second, multiplied by the cros's- scclioiial area m scpiare feet, multiplied l)v a constant K (the said constant raiittmg as stat.'.l :ib„ve from 0.8.") to 0.90) is ecpial to the discharge in secoiu'- teet. Tiie weir nietiiod niigiit l)e used occ.asionallv on verv small irrigation Mreaiiis. provided it is placed in such a position as not to affect the level of the water ;it the existing gauge. On the larger streams, the exiM-nse of constructing the w.'ir for measurement i)uri)oses only, is too great, and there are very few dam-; 111 the province which could be so used. The use of weirs for obtaining the daily discharge of a stream is not recoiiuiiendcd on account of the greater accuracy neces.siry in taking the readings, the errors introduced by material logging against the crest and the difficulties of g<'tting a weir that will b- accurate at all stag<;s of the stream.

Fisliing is one of tlu- larm'st industrit-s in British ('oluiiil>ia, and is one that must be seriously considcreil in all power development schemes in order that this important industry shall not, in any way, be damaged. Until recently commercial fishing was practically confined to the salmon which swarm in myriads up the rivers to the quieter waters in order ♦• spawn. Now, however, the industry has largely developed and manv other .ranches of fishing have Ijeen developed. In 1910 the catch of halibut in British Columbia was 21,500,J)0() pounds out of a total catch for the Dominion of 23,(K)O,0OO pounds. It will thus be seen that other branches of fishing are being largely developed. The preservation of tlie salmon is almost a vital necessity to the province, and to that end a number of hatcheries have been established on the inland waters! No obstruction should be allowed to remain in any stream to hinder the fisii from reaching the spawning grounds. For instance, if any considerable portion of the Fri;.sir river or its tributaries was blocked for a single season so that the fish could not spawn, it would seriously diniinisli the run of .falnion in the Fra.ser, four years later, and probably have considerable effect also on the run eight years and even twelve years after. Britisii Columbia is the anglers paradise. Thousands of tourists come heie year after year to indulge in this sport on the inlaro lakes and streams where, with ideal surroundings, some of the finest fishing ')f the world is found. Every effort should be made to protect the fish anil '.ence it is neces.sary to enforce certain restrictions on the use of the streams. In every power ilevj'lopment which includes any form of dam across the stream in the Coast division, j)roper provision should bo made for the passage of salmon and other fish. This is particularly so in the case of the Fraser river. It \A neceesary to preserve the forest cover in order to maintain a regular stream flow. In such cases it would priibably bo best to reserve the timber, as was done by the Dominion Government in the ca.se of the territory surrounding HHITIHH rnUilHIt HVnmnRAPHIC SI Nvr.v tf SESSIONAL PAPER No. 2W Coquitlam lakf, which provid»'M lh«' wut»T Hupply for th*- city of New Woxt- miiutpr Rnd also for thi- Vancouvrr Power ("ompanjr'ft plant on Burrard inlet : the country HurroundinK this lake han l>een made into a rewrvatitin, and the land J!* not op(t or other industrial wastes in the streams is a great danger, as the fish an' apt to mistake such things for food and bo seriously injured thereby.

The history of British Columbia is composed to a great extent of I lie development r.f the tran.siw)rtation facilities of the province, and it will Ih' neces- sary to continue this development for many years to come. In a mountain- ous country like this, it is no easy matter to' build trails and roads, and the construction of railroads is much more difficult and expensive than in the other provinces, but still good progress has Ihm'H made in the last few years, and condi- tions are gradually improving. The Canadian Pacific railway has, since its construction, been the main line of traffic in British Columbia and for many years it was the only railroad in the province. Now, however, there are a number of other roads in opi>ration or under construction in the Coast division, as well as in other parts. The Canadian Northern Pacific parallels the Canadian Pacific on the op|)osite side of the Fra.ser river. The British Columbia Electric Railway Company has interurban lines connecting Vancouver, Steveston, Now Westminster," and ( "hilliwack. The Kettle \alley railway and the Vancouver Victoria and Eastern railway are being built up the Cociuihalla river. The Pacific Great Eastern railway will connect North Vancouver, Squamish, Lillooet, and Fort George. A few miles of this road is l)eing operated at present, and it is predicted that trains will be running from S(iuamish to Lillooet by the end of 1914. There are also a number of railways on Vancouver island. The waterways of the ( "oa.st division are of considerable assistance in provid- iiiK transportation. There are a numln-r of steamships plying In'twcen various |)oints along the coast. A couple of small steamers run "up the lower Fniser river. Pitt lake and Harrison lake and the rivers which flow out of them can !)(• navigated by motor launches, and provide acc^^ss to streams which cannot be reached by any other means. The mileage of roadways in this part of the province is quite small. Tlierf are roads in and around tlie more important centres, but as ;\ rule they do not extend any great distance. There are roads along both sides of the Fraser river as far as Uuskiu on the north side, and Hoik- on the south, and a numb«T of cross- roads have l)een opened out from both of them. The construction of new roads IS necessarily slow, but from year to year new ones jm- built opening up new districts. :.»K HJ in:i-iHrur.\T or thk i\TKkii,K S QEOROE v.. A. 1919 i if \\ II i!

There is eoimiderable ininiiiK activity in the territory ineluiled in the (oawt diviHion. The most important product is coal from the inineH on Vancouver island. The value of the coal mined in 1!H2 wa.s nearly five and a half million dollars. One of the most important producers was the Canadian Colliers, Ltd. This firm op«'rates a number of mines in the vicinity of Union bay, and has several small railroad lines to convey the coal to tiile-water. Power for these enterprises is now obtained from a hydro-electric plant on Puntlcdge river. The Vancouver Portland Cement Co. at Todd nlet, on Vancouver island, which is operated by electric ; owor transmitted from the British (^ulumbia Klectric Company's plant at 'toldstream produces about S800,000 worth of cement annually. The mining industry will probably utilize a larger amount of water-power ill the future than it does at present. At one time considerable placer milling was dune in the Coast uivision, and a large number of water records were taken out for this purpose. The placer deposits in this part of the province are not being worked to any extent now, though a few hydraulic mines are in operation in the Cariboo. As transportation and lalH)ur conditions improve, however, and better smelting facilities are provided, there will probably be an increase in the number of mines working on low grade ores and on the baser metals. In such mines it is necessary to handle a large tcmnage cheaply in order to make the projierties pay and a good supply of cheap power would be a consider- able ailvantage. The Canadian Colliers serves as an example of the superiority of water-power over steam-power even when a chejij) supply of fuel is available. It is to be expected that other companies operating mines of a permanent nature will follow this firm's example. MAXCFACTlUIXt;. British Columbia is not as yet a great manufacturing province, thougii the value of the industries are gradually increasing, but the introduction of hydro- electric power and the improved transportation facilities are boun(l to promote industrial development in the province. The electrical transmis.sion <)f power has greatly ; efittcd certain industries which are carried on in the cities; and many other iiuK.otries have been developed close to the sources of power so as to escape transmi.'..-ion charges. In the older IKirts of the country there has been a great increase in the use of water-power within the List decade or two, and great improvements have been made. 22 nKl'AKTMKXT OF THK IMKKIOR 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 WATKR-POWKH.

The area of the Tli pson river eatehnient basin is some 22,000 square miles. The area of the Ukananau river catchment basin lying north of the forty- ninth parallel of latitude is about (i.OOO square miles. The area of that portion of the Fra.ser river drainage which lies within the Kandoops division is about 1,000 square miles. The area of that portion of the Skagit river which lies north of the forty- ninth parallel is about 400 square miles. It will readily Ix- seen that this division which comprises roughly an area of 29,000 square miles can be most advantageously directed from Kamloops, where the divisional office is at present located. The division includes th(^ provincial water distriots Nos. 2, 3 and 4. -l!.! CLIMATE. The Kamloops division has been outlined arbitrarily by drainag*' anas. It might almost as logically have been bounded by a 30-inch precipitation .ontour. With the exception of the upper reaches of the North Thompson, !it no point within the Kandoops division does the mean precipitation exceed this amount, and the settled districts lying outside its boundaries where the precipitation is less may readily be enumerated. Speaking in general terms, the Kamloops division covers that portion of British Columbia popularly known a> the " dry belt," in which irrigation is practised. Within this section of country, precipitation varies from a minimum of .t inches per annum in the vicinity of Ashcroft to a probable maximum of 35 inches near Tete Jaune Cache.

Belknap creek rises at tiie foot of mount Ida, at an elevation of some 300() feet, and discharges into Hixon creek below Belknap lake at an elevation of about 1500 feet. It is j)art of Burrard Inlet drainage. It would be very difficult to attempt to estimate the drainage area of the stream from the data at present available. The precipitation in the Belknap creek watershed is probably between 120 and 150 inches per annum. There is very heavy snowfall in the winter, but the weather is not cold, and very little ice forms on the streams. There are two important lakes on the creek; Ann lake, at an elevation of 2200 feet, has an area of Ki acres; Belknap lake, at an elevation of 1800 feet, has an area of 15 acres. The Westminster Power Company proposes to incluih Belknap creek in the high head developm(>nt. The latest proposal is to divert water from some point between Ann and Belknap lakes, and carry it by means of a short flume and pipeline into Norton lake, which is to be used as the n»ain equalizing reser- voir. There are two gauging stations on Belknap creek. I'l) to the present the station at the lowei end of Belknap lake is the one which has been most used. In 1913, however, a second station was established below Ann lake near the proposed site for the diversion to Norton lake. Meter measurements have been taken at this station, but no regular gauge readings. Disc MAKdK Mkasirkments of Belknap Creek at Beiknap Lake, 1912-13.

The flow from Harrison lake throURli the Harrison river is eontrolled largely by the har which the (Miehalis ha.s formed aeross the Harri.son. The Harrison river rises and falls with the Fraser river. During the low water this har on the Harrison at the mouth of tlie Chehalis is a great hindrance to navigation and logging on the Harrison river, which is thi> connecting link between the 30 miles of navi- gation on Harrison lak»' and the Fraser river tidewater. To reach th:- ( 'helialis river it is necessary to go by water either from Harrison Mills or Harrison Hot Springs; there is no road yet, though surveys have been made for one. From the mouth of tiie river there is an old logging road for ."> miles to an abandoned logging camp at Boulder creek. This road has b<>eii repaired sufficiently for use as a pack trail for horses, and the pack trail has recently been extended to ('helialis lak.-. The Chehalis vaMey was surveyed by A. W. Johnston in 1903 while locating tlic north limit of the Hallway Helt, but with the exception of two ranches on th.' delta on Harrison bay, none of thr country has been settled. It is visited occasionally by timber cruisers and Indians from the reserve at the mouth. There is a fall of 0.')0 feet betwen (helialis lake and the mouth, a distance of 1 1 miles. There is an excellent storage reservoir in Chehalis lake. The river station was establislied November 4, 1911, by C. (i. (line. It is located a mile and a half from the mouth o|)posite the foot of the first hill on the trail up tlie river. .\ chain gauge, supported from a poh- fastened to two ' trees, is located on the right liaiik; its datum is referred to three bench-marks. Measurements are made by wading, except at higli water, when cable measure- ments are niade from a canoe, one quarter of a mile l)elow the gauge. The meas- uring section is fair: theccmtrolis good, the tianks high tm one side, current uniform, and one channel at low water. At high water, however, the river overflows its left hank and tornis two channels. The bed of the stream is liable to cut and shift, cxpecially during the freshet. The |)ower possibiliti<'s of Cli-lialis river are being investigated by the \ancouver l'ow on the river. t IIKM.M.IS HIVKH. Lnailiiin.

'-"ScM mouth of river and town of Ho])e, in section 10, township 5, ranfce 2ti, west of tith meridian. f.ecords Available. — Clontinuous records since November Ki, 1911. Winter Conditions. — Open water at gauging station all year. Gauge. — Chain gauge on highway bridge; gauge readings two or three times a week. Some trouble with gauge chain stretching. Channel. — Bottom rocky and streams rather shallow. Water swift at the higher stages. Discharge Measurements. — Eleven meter measurements during 1912 and 1913 show s(jnie discrepancies, and do not cover highest stages. Accuracy. — Records only moderately accurate on account of infrequency of gauge readings and a number of changes in the length of the chain. COQUIHALLA RIVLR. Coquihalla river has its source in the pa-ss bet^en the Coquihalla and Coldwater rivers, at an elevation of 3,000 feet, and discharges into the Frascr river near Hope at an elevation of 120 feet. It is part of the P'raser drainage; the drainage area, as measured from a Dominion sectional map, scale 3 miles to an inch, is 360 square miles. The annual precipitation varies from 50 inches BRITISH COLlMIilA IIYlJUOOK.iPHIC SURVET 77 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f at the mouth to about 80 inches at the headwaters. At Hope the winters are quite mild, and the stream does not freeze over. In the hipher altitudes the winters are much more severe. The following tributaries enter from the left going upstream; the Kawkaw, Ladner, and Boston Bar creeks; Nicolum creek and Pierra river enter from the right. ,1^ Just above the mouth of the Xicolum. and about (i mdes from the traser is the site of a projwsed power development, about 1 K. acres in extt^nt. The river flows through a gorge with preciptous rocky walls from 30 to 70 feet in width, and about l.JO feet in height. By constructing a dam at the head of the gorge, and a tunnel through the mountains for about 1,000 feet to the power site, from 100 to 12") feet head could be obtained. Storage facilities, however, are undefined, as vet and mav hv limited by the railroad constrviction in the valley. A few hundref.' l:' U. II Siiiilli 2 '!,*) 1,1.. l'.H2 -'1.1 .

Coquitlaiii lake IS on the river about 8 miles farther south, in township 5, range 6. It is at an elevation of 430 feet, ami has an area of 2,300 acres at low water. Below Coquitlam lake the river flows south for about 10 miles and discharges into i'raser river near the mouth of Pitt river in township 38 E.C.M. Gold creek enters the river from the east below the lake, and Viola creek empties into the lake Itself, also from the east. The drainage area above the outlet of the lake is 105 square miles. yt«: 80 l)t:rARTUK\T OF THE IXTEKKiR 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 I 1 : ,-i Frasrr Rivi r:it Hope, R.C.

There is very Utile snow at the mouth, and the river rarely freezes over there. At the lake, however, the snowfall is very heavy, and the lake is frozen for several months. There the precip- itation is ahout 140 inches, and it is probably more in the higher altitudes. Snow remains on the mountain peaks practically all summer.

FraKcr river has its source in the Yellowhead pass at an elevation of 3,710 feet , and after flowing some 700 miles in a general southwesterly direction, discharges into the Pacific ocean (strait of Georgia) near New Westminster. Of its length, the lower 175 miles is within the Railway Belt. The important tributaries within the Belt are Pitt river, Stave river, Sumas river, Harrison river, Nahatlatch (or Salmon) river, Silver-Hope creek, Coquihalla river. Stein creek, and Thompson river, the last named being the largest confluent. Out- side the Railway Belt there are Bridge, Chilcotin, Quesnel, Blackwater, Nechuko, and Willow rivers. Near Fort George the North Fork and South Fork unite. Bear river is a tributary of the South Fork. The drainage area of the Fraser river is about 90,000 square miles. The report of the water powers of Canada, issued by the Commission of Conservation. 1911, gives it as 91,700 square miles. The said report also gives an interesting article on the Fraser river in the chapter on British Columbia. The drainage area of the Fraser river above Lytton (i.e., above the mouth of Thompson river) is 63,000 .scjuarc miles. The drainage area of the Fra.ser above the gauging station at Hope (includ- ing the Coquihalla river) is 8,"),600 square miles. The Fraser is important for fishing, navigation, and lumbering. There are some millions of latent horse-power in the river, particularly in the Fraser river canyon, but it is not likely that the river will be harnessed in the near future. A company now has a project for developing power at Hell's Gate, near Yale. where the river runs through a narrow canyon, and the difference between extreme high water and low water is about 100 feet. Fraser river is the largest stream lying wholly in British Columbia, and it has i)layed a very important part in the development of the jirovince. It was the discovery of gold in the bed of the Fraser river that brought large numbers of men into th<> country; and it was the gradual movement of the gold seekers up the valley that opened up the country and led to the building of roads and bridges. When the Canadian Pacific railway was built it followed the Fra.ser tor 1.50 miles, and the Thompson, a tributary of the Fraser, for as many more. The Canadian Northern Pacific railway follows the Fraser and Thompson to Kamloojjs. goes up the North Thompson, strikes across the divide to the upper I-raser again, and follows it to the Yellowhead pass. The Grand Trunk Pacific follows the upper Fraser river from the Yellowhead pass for 390 miles or more, .-^ince the railways are the most important factors in developing a country rich in iijitural resources, the valleys of the Fraser river and ts tributaries will necessarily ciuifinue to be of great importance. Pr()l)al>ly the most important industry conne<'ted with the Fraser river is the fishing. Salmon of various kinds come in from the salt water in countless numbers in the f;dl and swarm up the Fraser river, heading for the spawning grounds .m the smaller rivers and creeks. Great numbers of them arc caught near the mouth of the Fraser, and large canneries are situated there; and salmon are caught on all parts of the Fraser and on all the streams that flow into it In the winter, dried fish is the staple diet of the Fraser River Indians. British Columbia is essentially a mountainous country, and the watershed of the Fraser follows the general rule. As a result, the .anu.unt of land suitable for agriculture is relatively small, it is found mostly in small flats and benches along the Fraser and its tributaries; and sometimes a valley will widen out and give a larger expanse of good land, as in the ca.se of the Nicola valley, where there are several townshii)s of good land in a block. Many of the small flats HHiTinn ro/.i MHii ii\mm(]K.\t'niv siHrsr ^ SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f lontain pxppllent land, and Komeof tlu-in in th." tirv Ix.lf ,irn w.ii » u i . makp Hplondid fruit lan "' ♦^'' ^'^'■'"" ('hilliwaek, ..allinK at n.anv poim.s m "^h s e'T.f X »"' the (-(mstruction of raiiwiv^ .n,! ,.i,.,..\.; i- , "^'^'^ "" *"*" *"y- '*"• ..f the river^so tffth . sin-u wii k :, i • /l'* '"' .'"■" ''"'".« 1'"''* «* ^'^^ '"""<'' is LeinK .lone where e lsV"r v u I r ml iXt ,'^ :^"' !""' •''•«'«i"« front is in .ise, aiul all of it 1. ...I.l .. ; i ■ ' 'VV,*** "/ *•»' «'»t"l'l«' wat.r- thero are n.ileV o ^ ,d «U er ^ t hi '^^ *'»' I'''-"-^ "vor on an extensive harbour develonml iNtw VVestminster is starting waterfront ^ouXZ^na'^Zm ffiT'^n •!::t -^a^ ^^^-^ve th^ around the Tan dian fe -i J r 1 v t • .nl !'♦ ("•"'"'?,"'' "♦>•''.'•""« to he starting.

Before the ('onstrui'tio'i of the liridce, it was at Yale, 10 miles farther up the riviT, hut one (loat measurement wa« made at Hope. Taken together, the nieasuremi>iits gave a fair curve, hut now that the briduo huH been huilt prohalily hi'tter results can he obtained in 1914. It is quite possible that the construction of the bridge piers may have materially ufTcctetl the nilintj of the KaUKc, but that will hv determined during 1014, and a new curve <'on- structetl if necessary. The guuKiiif! station near Lytton is at the ferry crossing, about 2 miles from the town. The gauge is painted on an irregular rock point.

In the winter there is a snowfall of something like 6 feet. This probably increases in the higher altitudes. Near the mouth it is not verv cold, and open water conditions obtain at the gauging station. In the higher altitudes the winters are more severe. Float measurements were taken three or four times a week by Mr. R. S. Stronach during his inspection of the construction work at lake Coquitlam. These records are continuous from July 26, 1910, to October 20, 1912. On Oct- ober 26, a regular gauging staticm was established . The records were kept until November 30, 1913. All these measurements were taken near the mouth of the creek. The purpose is to show, if possible, that there is sufficient flow in Gold creek to satisfy all the ordinary demands of the riparian owners on the Coquitlam river below the dam. If this is found to be the case, there will be no necessity for the X'ancouver Power Company to allow anv water to pass through the dam at lake Coquitlam, and the total flow can be stored for use in the power plant.

Silver Pitt creek rises in the hills between Coquitlam lake and Pitt lake at an elevation of about 3000 feet: and flows from the west into Pitt river near Pitt lake at an elevation of 10 feet. It is part of the Pitt-Fraser drainage. Ahout^S miles from its mouth the stream flows out through a canyon on to a Hat where it has numerous branches and frequently changes its channels. In the last mile of its course it forms a slough in which the water rises and falls with the water in Pitt river under the influence of the tides. 2.5k— lOJ 132 DEPARTMEfiT OF THE lyTERIOR 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 P®'?*" a considerable extent of good agricultural land in the flat near the Slvl;,JJ"^^° u*"* ^'^A^11!''l^\'^ frequently flooded by the freshets in Sliver creek and submerged by the high water in Pitt river.

SOLTII LILLOOET RIVER. The South Lillooet river rises in the Lillooet lakes at an elevation of 370 tcet, discharging into Pitt river below Pitt lake at al)out sea-level. The drainage fivnr r ^^^"Vu ^^i"'""';* rV'' '' ''^ ''l"'*'"'^' '""'■'*• ^''"<^ »*>** of the Lillooet nvcr (including the North Lillooet) is 105 square miles. The precipitation in the Lillooet watershed varies from 70 inches per annum at t It- mouth to SO inchers or more at the headwaters. The stream is at present used tor logging, but there are water-power possibilities on it. The original plan of development of this stream by the Burrard Power ompany waa the diversion of water from the Lillooet lakes over the divide to Kanaka falls near the Eraser river. The Burnett Lumber Companv obiected 136 DEPARTMBJfT OF THE lyTERlOR If 6 QEORGE v., A. 191S to the alienation of South LiUooet river water, since the company claimed the l*£l-° "'' ^^^ "^V"™ ^°^ °^»**'*^ "*!*'"" ^"f '«««'«« purpoWs^^ From these objections sprung the famous Burrard Power case, through which the r5 °; ''^?-:"^lP f the Dominion o Canada to the wat^r within the Railway Bel of British Columbia was formally established. *«•.!««> oen „i^rK**'^'ii''!?° °^ development is by carrying the water in a 5}-mile flume ^herf hv r?^?."*? °^ *^' ?T*^ LiUooet river to a controlling reservoTr! »hen by a 1500-foot penstock to a power-house in S.E.

The locality is ^uite picturesque, and there is plenty of good fishing and hunting, An enterprising pioneer has established a summer resort' on this lake, and expects that it will be well patronised. Between Green lake and the mouth of the river, a distance of some 17 miles, thereisa total fidl of 1,400 feet. The stream is very rapid and turbulent. Two important tributaries, Soo river and Sixmile creek, enter below the lake. About 5 miles from the mouth, the river falls through a narrow rocky gorge, giving a drop of some 170 feet in less than a quarter of a mile. At this point it is -proposer' to develop hydro-electric power. A small intake dam would provide for the diversion of the water into a short flume and penstock, which would lead to the power-house situated below the falls. This would pro- vide for a head of about 170 feet. There would be very little pondage at the in- take. The presence of the railroad a few feet above high water would prevent the full utilisation of Green lake storage. The main flow, however, comes from Soo river and Sixmile creek, and it would probably be possible to develop storage on these streams. Gauging stations were established at Green falls and at Green lake in Nov- ember, 1913. Stations were established also on the tributaries, Soo river and Sixmile creek, in March, 1914. The station at the falls gives the unregulated flow of the river at the intake site and the other three stations show the distri- bution of this flow. These stations show the amount of power available with the natural flow of the stream, and also the relative conditions of storage facilities on the tributaries.

Seymour creek has its source in Loch I^mond (Summit lake) at an elevation of 3,300 feet, and discharges into Burrard inlet, near North Vancouver, at sea level. Ita more important tributaries are Stoney creek and the East and West Forks. The drainage area above Vancouver intaike is estimated by the eujKineers of the Provincial Water Rights Branch at 76 square miles. The water is used for supplying the city of Vancouver. Uelow the intake shingle bolts are floated down to Burrard inlet. . . The precipitation is probably over 100 inches. In the winter time there are heavy snowfalls in the hills, and snow remains in some places all the year round. The stream does not freese over at the waterworks intake. Seymour creek is a swift mountain stream, with clear pure water flowing from a well-timbered mountainous watershed. There is no settlement above the intake, and hence no chance for the pollution of the water. On the higher altitudes, and as low as 3,000 feet alwve sea-level, snow remains in large quan- tities throughout the whole year. This snow storage plays an important part in regulating the flow of the stream, for '» snow melts in the summer and provides a good supply of water at a tim<' .v" . , hn stream would otherwise be low. There are places, also, where artificiol t. -ivge reservoirs could be made. The waterworks intake i^ 't u.-ted some 7 miles from the mouth of the creek. It is a substantial timber Ptn i.ir^. Sited with screens and control gates. At the entrance to the pipes the u Ja a settling basin provided with regulating gates and spillways. The pipelines follow the creek valley and cross Burrard inlet there at the Second Narrows. , ■ , There is a good road up Seymour creek as far .i- the waterworks intake. From there, there is a foot trail for several miles farther. People from Van- couver and other places often go camping and mountain climbing in the valley, but strict rules are imposed on all such to prevent contamination of the water supply. 1W nEfARTUKST OF THE INTKRIOR 6 GEORQE v., A. 1915 f ':!

Jamieson creek has its source in the hills north of the Tranquille Forest reserve, outside the Railway Belt, at an elevation of 5,000 feet. It discharges into the North Thompson river from the west, 18 miles north of Kamloops, at an elevation of 1,170 feet. It is part of the North Thompson drainage. The area of the watershed is 06 square miles. The creek is in the dry belt, and the water is used for irrigation. The mean annual precipitation is from 10 to 12 inches. Owing to the influence of the valley of the North Thompson river, the climate is a little cooler than at Kamloops and the snow remains on the ground much longer in the winter. The water of Jamieson creek is used by the British Columbia Fruitlands Company for the irrigation of their lands along the North Thompson and the main Thompson rivers. The intake is situated about a mile from the mouth of the creek. Water has been used from Jamieson creek for this purpose for a number of years, but a new canal and flume line has recently been constructed by the company to replace the old system. The canal is lined with concrete to prevent seepage. When necessary, galvanized steel fluming has been used and one inverted syphon of 48 inches diameter has been constructed of wood stave pipe. The main system is about 15 miles long, and will serve some 6,000 acres of the company's land. The British Columbia Fruitlands Company, have constructed a storage (iani on Wentworth lake, near the head of the creek, but small storage has been secured. The nuiin station on Jamieson crec!: is 100 feet above the British Columbia Fruitlands dam, and measures the total flow of the stream. It was established .lune 20, 1911, and gauge readings were taken till October 31, 1911, from April 3 to October 31, 1912, and from May 6 to October 1, 1913. The gauge is a .") foot cedar staff nailed to tree stump on the left bank of the stream, 100 feet al)ove the British Columbia Fruitlands Company's dam. Its datum is referred to three permanent bench-marks. The meter measurements were made by wading at a section 25 feet below the gauge. The channel is straight for 25 tVct above the section, and the water swift. There is a straight channel for ".■) feet below the section, with riffles and then the dam crest. The right bank IS a rock cliff 100 feet high. The left bank is 3 feet high and covered with l)ushes, but is not likely to overflow. There is a gravel bar in the bed itself ■^vhieh at a certain stage divided the creek into two branches near the gauge. This occurs at a gauge height of 3 for a lan^e of about 0-6 feet. Above that stage the water flows over the bar, and the stream becomes one; below the stage the second stream stojjs running. The gauge is only about 100 feet above the dam, and although there is considerable fall in that distance the engineer 25f— 16i M 1.1* L'l ■I- TiEl'ARTMEJiT OF THE ISTERtOR 1 r i! •! I 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 should note piirticuliirly oach trip that no change has been made at the dam to affect the height of the water at the gauge, and that there are still riffli- between the gauge and the dam. A secimd statitm was established below the dam to show the amount of unused water and to give some idea of the water diverted by the British Colum- bia Fruitlands (htch. It was found, however, that there was considcrabi, loss by seepage from the stream into the gravel beds between the two station- Hence the amount of unused water is larger than the figures given bv lower station: tlie amount of water diverted cannot be found by comparing t lie" surface flow at the two stations. (Jauge readings were taken at the lower station from .June 22, 1911, when the station was established, to ()ctol)er 30 1911 and from April 3 to July 12, 1912. Tiie gauge readings at this .station will not be contiiiueil another season.

Nicholson. Channel— There are rapid.s above and below the gauging section, where the current is slow and the water deep. The bed of the stream contains large boulders. Discharge Measurements— The gauge-height-discharge curve is well defined up to a discharge of 4,600 second-feet. Above this point it was necessary to project the curve during the freshet of 1913. An attempt will be made to have the deductions ratified during the coming season. Accuracy.— The accuracy is high except for the period mentioned. NAHATLATCH RIVER. ^'jf"'tJ»tfh river rises in the mountains north of Harrison lake outside the Railway belt, at an elevation of about 600 feet, and discharges into Fraser river at an elevation of 360 feet. It is part of the Fraser drainage. Douglas ereek flows into the Nahatlatch from the south, and Log creek from the north. 1 hese two streams are close together, and only a short distance below the lakes.

A substantial car is suspended from the cable by means of two heavy snatch blocks. The engineer can thus place himself directly over any part of the section and take measurements with a meter suspended by its cable. The channel above the station is straight for 100 feet with the water flowing smoothly. About 400 feet above the section there are rapids when the water leaves the lake. Below the section the channel is straight for 100 feet and then the rapids commence again. The right bank is 100 feet high with a steep slope. The left bank is 50 feet high, with a fairly steep slope, and with bushes and trees above the high-water mark. The bed of the stream is covered with rocks and boulders and these make it rather difficult to get accurate measure- ments. There is only one channel, about 4 feet deep at low water.

Winter Conditions. — Open conditions exist throughout the winter. Gauge. — There is a chain gauge at which weekly records are taken by Chas. Nicholson. Channel. — The channel is straight, with rapids a short distance above and below the gauge. Discharge Measurements. — Meterings are made from a cable car, and the gauge-height-discharge curvt is well defined up to a discharge of 3,600 feet. The curve has been projected iibove that point. Accuracy. — The accuracy is fair except for the short period at the peak of the freshet. The deductions made for this period will, it is expected, be ratified during the coming season. . j 25f— 17i m • DEPABTMENT Of THE INTERIOR 6 QEORQE v., A. 1915 DiscHABo.

Winter Conditions.— ^ut very severe. Stream is usually under ice cover during January and Februurj'. Gauge. — Inclined staff gauge bolted to a large rock on the stream's right bank, and referred to bench-marks. Tri-weekly readings are obtained by Miss Violet Curnow. CAannci.— Stream is 100 to 150 feet in width, and has a rock and gravel bed. Flow varies from 150 to 5,000 c.f.s., and in gauge heights is C feet. Discharge Measurements. — The gauge-height-discharge curve is defined by well-distributed measurements. Accuracy. — The curve is excellently defined up to a discharge of 4,000 second-feet, which represents the maximum flow for an average year. Above this point the curve is projected for the season of 1913 when a maximum of 5,300 second-feet, was recorded. The accuracy of the whole is very high. NICOLA RIVER AT MOUTH.

Winter Conditions. — Ice conditions exist from November to February under normal conditions. There are several cold periods usually of short duration. Gauge. — Chain gauge established on March 18, 1914, to replace staff gauges which gave unsatisfactory results. The gauge height is read daily by George A. Longbottom. Channel. — The channel is of rocks and boulders and the velocity of the current is high, even at low water. Discharge Measurements. — Numerous meterings have been obtained, but it will be necessary to have the new gauge completely rated during 1914. Accuracy. — The accuracy of results obtained from discharge curves during the past three years is low, and only slight dependence may be placed on them. --IL-i .•A SPIUS CREEK.

From Tete .laiine (';i(lic to Kandoops l>y the river is about 2.")0 miles, liut. hy the (' N.I{. it if less than l',H» (All mile-|Mists are h)eated hy the CX.R.) From K.'itn loops to Mad Hiyer, at the !t7-mile jiost the valley varies from half ' a sandy loam, and firstH'lass hind for fruit leeomes much narrower a mile to 1 mih' in width. The soil is . and mixed farminn. At)ove Mad Hiver tlie vallev I and there are only aiiout Itl.OtM) acres of arable land. IrriKation is requjri' feet to 2.") feet, The rise and fall of the river at this point is about 15 feet. The maximum discharge in 11»12 was ,-)(),(H)() secoiul-feet in May. The minimum flow was 2,0.50 .-ieeond-feet in March. Maximum for 1913 was (w.OOO in June, mini- mum .'i3,0(iO in April. The North Thompson river is navigable ilurinn the summer from Kamloops to the 02-mile post, from the 11? mile post to 12.")-mile post, and from 137 to 172 mile. (2) As before stated, the North and South Thompson meet at Kandoops. Strictly speakiiiK. the Thompson river rises in the Sliuswap lakes, and is only a Howinn stream between Chase and K:iinl(>ops. a distance of 40 miles. .\nd it is a very .slow flowiuK strean:. The drop between the Shuswap lakes and Kandoops beinn only 1,") fe.-t. The valley ixtween Kiimloops and ( "base i.s from 1 mile to 3 mih's wide, and is very suitable for mixed farminn and fruit growiiiK. The drainape is 400 sipiare miles, and a larne percentage of this land may be cultivated or used for grazinn purpi.-es. The one great drawback is the lack of water for irrigation. The remaining 7,000 sipiare miles of the South Thompson drainage arc drained by the Shuswap lakes. The chief feeders of tiiis body of water are the Adams river,^ ;\nstey river. Seymour river, i;agle river, Shuswap river, and Sal- mon river. The preciiiitation throughout the drainage of these streams averages .'ibout 30 inches, the Salmon river being the only one in the dry belt. The Adams river is an ideal power stream, and also drains a fertile and well-timiiered country. The Shuswap river has two good power sites on it, one below Sugar lake and the other below Mabel h-.ke. Inimense timber limits are held around Mabel and Sugar lakes. The Shuswap river drains the famous (Jkanagan valley from Armstrong north. Tlu- Saliiif.n river drain.s the (iraml Prairie di.strici m) well known as a mixed farming and ranching country. For further information on these streams see the individual gazetteers aiul reports. The gauging station on this river was installed at Chase, B.C., in 1911. The width of the stream at the section is 400 feet, tlic depth from 15 feet to 25 feet 25f— 191 1:i 276 DEPARTUEyr OF THE IXTERIOR M' ! « •IP 5 GEORGE v., A. 1915 The maximum flow during the t.vo years was 36,000 e. f. »., and took place on March 1, 1912. The rise and fall of the river at this section is 10 feet. The South Thompson is navigable during the summer. Steamers plj' be- tween Chase, Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Anstey Arm, and Seymour Arm. (3) From Kamloops the river flows into Kamloops lake, which is about 20 miles long and from 1 mile to 2 miles wide. As the river leaves the lake the fall l)ecomes greater, and in the 20 miles to Ashcroft there is a drop of 200 feet. After leaving Ashcroft the river flows through the Black canyon. Between Ashcroft and Spences Bridge the river is verj' swift, and in the 25 miles there is a fall of 225 feet. Between Spences Bridge and Lytto'^ the river is in a canyon practic- ally all the way (30 miles). The fall in this distance is 317 feet. At Lytton the Thompson river discharges into the Fraser river. The Canadian Pacific Railway follows the left bank of the river from Kamloops, also from Chase to Lytton. The Canadian Northern Railway comes down the North Thompson and then follows the right bank practically all the way to Lytton. This elimin- ates any power possibilities. There are good bench lands on both sides of the Thompson between Kamloops and Spences Bridge. The Ashcroft district is famous for its potatoes. The - ther benches are practically the sa.ne soil, and equally as valuable. Lack of water is the great difficulty in cultivation all through this district. The preci- pitation is very small, not exceeding 10 inches. The three largest tributaries of the Thompson river below Kamloops, are the Deadman, entering from tht right, below Savona lake, the Bonaparte entering from the right at Ashcroft, and tin Nicola entering from the left at Spences Bridge, all drain rich agricultural districts and ranching countries. Practically the whole drainage below Kamloops and above Spences Bridge consists of a rolling-hill countrj' unexcelled for ranching, and rich agriculturally whore water can be obtained. There is gold in the Thompson river, iron is prevalent in the Kamloops district, and three coal mines are working at Merritt in the Nicola valley. The gauging station was established at Sjjences Bridge in October 1911, and continuous daily readings have been taken since. The river at this section is 400 feet wide and from 8 feet to 20 feet deep. The water is very swift, and never freezes in the winter. The maximum flow in 1912 was 90,000 c. f. s., and the minimum was 5,000 c. f. s. The Thompson river drains the most settled part of the interior of British Columbia, with the exception of tin- lower Okanagan valley. The climate generally might be described as hot and dry in the summer, a cold short winter, with little snow. The country is well supplied with Rarne, and fishing is good in both large and small streams and lakes.

Location. — ^This station is located within 1 mile of the city of Revelstoke, and 1 mile from the mo-ith of the river; the gauge is located on traffic bridge in S.W. i section 26, township 23, range 2, west 6th meridian; the measuring section is located on traffic bridge in N.E. \ section 22, township 23, range 2, west 6th meridian. Records Available. ^October to December, 1911; May to December, 1912; April to November, 1913. Measurement made under ice conditions in February, 1912, gave a discharge of 197 c.f.s. Gauge. — A chain gauge, referred to two bench-marks, is used and read by Miss S. Moran of Revelstoke. Channel. — Tlie measuring section is one-half mile below gauge. 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 water, the control at the gauge appears permanent. Discharge Measurements. — Eight well distributed measurements were made during 1911-12, and five were mide in 1913. Accuracy. — The gauge readings are accurate, and the stream is closely watched by an obser\'er. The discharge measurements should be good, but the gauge -height-discharge curve is not first-class. Accuracy not guaranteed to greater degree tiian 10 per cent. Winter Conditions — See Columbia river near Revelstoke.

Location.— In township 2(), ranpie 26, west 5th meridian, at the foot-bridge immediately above the railway bridge, 200 yards from C.P.R. hotel, Glacier. Records Available— ,]\uw to December, 1913. Winter Conditions- Hi-wn^ (-40° F.) with very heavy snowfall— between 40 and 50 feet. Gauge readings arc generally affected by ice conditions from November to April. , , tt m tt-h r^\ • Gauge.— A vertical staff gauge is used and read by H. T. HiUyer, Glacier, B C Channel— The bed is rocky and during freshet the water is very swift, the control appears permanent. .,,..,, ,, j Discharge Measurements.— Ty,cl\e well distributed measurements were made during 1913. . ^ • . rr.. Accuracy. — Accurate measurements were not obtained. Ine river is very flashy and the gauge readings obtained cannot be guaranteed to be the mean for the day. Accuracy 20 per cent. GcneraJ —This station on the lUccillewaet is only 2J miles from the tongue of the lUecillewaet or Great Glacier. The C.P.R. have a small power plant immediately above the station from which they light their hotel during the summer In extremely cold weather the stream probably drops to 10 c.f.s. •\ 1 2» DBPARTMENT OF TBE INTERIOR S QEORQE v., A. 1919 DiBCHAROB Measubbmknts of lUecUlewaet River near Glacier for 1913.

Location.— Tea miles from the mouth, below the mouth of Slocan river, IG miles from Nelson, at the ferry cable near Glade, B.C. Records Available.— May to December, 1913. Winter Conditions.— The thermometer seldom goes below zero; the snowfall is fairly heavy; the river never freezes over. Gauge.— Four 5 foot gauges, reading from to 5 feet, 5 to 10 feet, 10 to 15 feet, and from 15 to 20 feet are used, and read twice daily by F. Stnloiff of Glade, Channel.— The channel is straight for (luarter of a mile above and below section and very uniform. There are riffles 1,000 yards above and below the section which is ideal for metering purposes. Discharge Measurements.— Seven, well-distributed measurements were made during 1913 from a cable car used on a ferry cable. Accuracy —Accurate gauge readings are obtained, accurate measurements were taken, and the gauge-height-discharge curve is very satisfactorj-. The results at this station are guaranteed to be within 5 per cent. General— The Kootenay river is one of the largest and most important rivers in British Columbia. It rises in the Beaverfoot range of the Rocky 25f— 23J 340 iit:rMiT\n:\T nr rin: isTKitmu KiMitcnav. Ill CS) 6 GEORGE v., A 1915 ♦ :. ;., «,.«imliin 24 riiiirt' 17 west otli incrid'mn.

General. — Pend d'Orcille river has its source in (a) British Columbia, on the western slope of the Rocky mountains, where it is known as Flathead river; (6) near Helena, Montana, where it is known as Clark's Fork of the Columbia, Mi88oula river, and several other local names. It drains about 25,500 square miles in Montana, Idaho, and Washington before entering British Columbia, from whence it flows 16 miles in a westerly direction, discharging into the Colum- bia river at Waneta, B.C., 200 yards from the international boundary. The total drainage area of Pend d'Oreille river is about 26,600 square miles Salmon river drains 480 square miles, being the only important tributary in Canada. During its course in British Columbia, the Pend d'Oreille has a fall of 423 feet, and four or five sites for large power developments are available. There are not any distinctive falls greater than 10 feet in height. The rise and fall of the river is about 20 feet, and at high water due to narrow and uneven banks and bed the river is very wild. The gauging and metering section was established in 1912 under the direction of Mr. (1. Gray Donald. The cable is 1 } inches in diameter and has a clear span of 610 feet. Measurements are made from a cable car. During 1913, the provincial district engineer, Water Rights Branch, Nelson, and the British Colum- bia Hydrographic Surveys co-operated on this station until October, when the British Columbia Hydrographic Surveys took complete charge.
