60 KEPOKT OF THE No. 3 



township suitable for immediate settlement, and there can be no doubt that by a 

 proper drainage of the swamps twenty-five per cent, of the remainder can he made 

 suitable for agriculture. Game and fur of the usual kinds common to this section, 

 and particularly moose, are to be seen in abundance. 



Observations for azimuth on Polaris at elongation were taken at least once 

 a week with the exception of the last two weeks of the work, which was almost a 

 continuous downpour of rain. All the lines were run with the transit, well opened 

 up and blazed, and carefully chained and posted by experienced hands. A careful 

 traverse s^urvey of the Mattawitchewan river and also of the lakes was made with 

 the micrometer and transit, all tiie work closing in a very satisfactory manner.

Appendix No. 22. 

 Survey op the Township of Ebbs, District of Algoma. 



Toronto, Decemher 22nd, 1913. 



Sir, — We have the honour to submit the following report on the survey ol 

 the township ot Ebbs, in the District of Algoma, made by us under instructions 

 from your Department, dated the 12th day of July, 1913. 



On 29th July we left Toronto, via the Canadian Pacific Eailway for Franz, 

 where the party was organized. The party was in charge of John van N"ostrand, 

 O.L.S., assisted by N. A. Burwash, O.L.S., and included five other men from 

 Toronto and vicinity, and eleven men from Missinabie and Franz. We then 

 proceeded to Oha by construction train on the Algoma Central Eailway. From 

 the railway the party and supplies were taken down the Albany Branch of the 

 Oba river in canoes to the falls, a short distance above the line between lots 6 

 and 7, in the township of Schol field. The supplies and camp outfit were then 

 packed to that line and north along it to the line between concessions X and XI, 

 then east to the east boundary and north on the east boundary, to the starting 

 point of the survey, at the south-east corner of the township of Ebbs, in all, a 

 distance of seven miles, more or less. 



The township is bounded on the south by the township of Scholfield, and 

 on the east by the township of Orkney, on the north by the townships of Lowther 

 and Shetland, and on the west by the unsurveyed township of Templeton. The 

 Algoma Central Eailway passes about four chains west of, and fifteen chains north 

 of the north-west corner of the township and runs in a north-easterly and south- 

 westerly direction from this point, which is about twenty miles from the town 

 of Hearst.
