shore and it was necessary to re-run three quarters of a mile of this line between 

 these blazes and Lake Tendinendah. In running the line, however, some 

 other blazes were discovered not far from the shore and the line was corrected. 

 An observation showed the bearing of this boundary to be N 89 35' 30" W Ast. 

 or 270 24' 30". A rock post was planted in a large boulder on the line near 

 the shore and from this point a line was projected across the lake and an 

 original blaze was found on a fellen tree in the water which had escaped our 

 notice. A trial line was run West Ast. from this point to Lake Chiblow, and 

 two more original blazes were discovered. One of these was on the south 

 side of a pine tree not far from Lake Chiblow, whereas the trial line passed 

 very close to the north side of the tree. The trial line was so close to the 

 original that the line was not re-run, but a correction of 4 minutes was made 

 to allow for the difference, the bearing of this boundary being shown in 

 the field-notes as S 89 56' W Ast. or 269 56'. 



The traverse of the different lakes was carried on in the usual manner 

 described in the reports of previous surveys. The distances were obtained 

 by stadia and the angles measured with a transit equipped with an object 

 glass sufficiently powerful to permit of observations on Polaris being taken at 

 any time during the day when the sky happened to be clear. Such obser- 

 vations were taken at sufficiently frequent intervals to reduce the angular 

 errors to a minimum. A number of these observations were recorded on the 

 detail sheets supplied for that purpose, and a copy of these is included with 

 the returns. 



The traverse of the portion of Lake Chiblow lying within Township No. 

 167 was started at a point on the north boundary of the Township of Scarfe 

 68 links west of a rock post on top of a rocky peak on the said boundary, and 

 was continued west along the lake shore to the east boundary of the Township 

 of Montgomery. 



The post marking the corner of the Townships of Scarfe, Montgomery, 

 Patton and 167 could not be found and no satisfactory location of this corner 

 could be made. This corner comes on a small island and since the original 

 survey of these townships was made a dam has been constructed on the Blind 

 River at the outlet of Lake Chiblow which has raised the water several feet, 

 and I am satisfied that the corner is now under water. At one time there was a 

 portage on the stream by which DeMorest Lake empties into Lake Chiblow 

 but there is now continuous navigation for small boats between these two 

 lakes. Stumps which had been cut off close to the ground along the banks of 

 this stream are now under six feet of water. The dam referred to on the Blind 

 River has been rebuilt and is now used to hold back the water in Lake Chiblow 

 for water power purposes, the power being transmitted to Blind River. 



The unsurveyed portion of the boundary between Townships 155 and 

 161 amounting to a little over two and a half miles was also run out. The 

 post planted by D. Beatty, P.L.S., in 1885 at a point on the boundary between 

 Townships 155 and 161, three and a half miles south of the northern extremity 

 of this boundary, was found after a short search, and after an observation on 

 Polaris this line was run South Ast. to intersect the north boundary of the 

 Township of Mack at a point 47.76 chains west of the north-east corner of that 

 township. The Mack boundary was hard to find as the country had been 

 burnt over and grown up with second growth so that traces of the original line
