passes along the north shore of it. The construction of a saw-mill at this point 

 could be economically accomplished, and with dead water over Pelican, Catherine 

 and Marshy lakes, timber for lumber, ties, etc., could be quite easily driven or 

 towed to the mill site. 



The general character of the country is such that we would advise a careful 

 inspection of same 'before too much is subdivided, as much time, money, and 

 annoyance could be saved iby subdividing only those portions fit for agriculture. 



Trusting that the above report may supply the desired information and 

 hoping that same meets with your approval. 



We have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servants,

SUBVEY OF THE ToWNSHIP OF MaTTAVV^AN IN THE DISTRICT OF NlPISSING. 



Ottawa, September 16th, 1912, 



Sir, — I beg to submit the following report on the survey of part of the 

 township of Mattawan, in the District of Nipdssing, under instructions dated 

 July 12th, 1912. 



The party was outfitted at Ottawa and on the first day of August, 1912, left 

 for Mattawa. 



After questioning all the settlers in the district to be surveyed, it was found 

 that the nearest post to the work that was known to any of them was that between 

 lots 33 and 34, on the north side of the road allowance between concessions 7 

 and 8. 



There the survey was commenced and by running a line on the approximate 

 bearing, always looking for evidence of the true line and when suck evidence was 

 found these points were joined up by straight lines. In this manner the follow- 

 ing intersections were obtained, viz. : 



lots 10 and 11, concessions 7 and 8. 



lots 15 and 16, concessions 7 and 8. 



lots 20 and 21, concessions 7 and 8. 



lots 10 and 11, concessions 9 and 10. 



lots 15 and 16, concessions 9 and 10, and 



lots 20 and 21, concessions 9 and 10. 



Posts were planted at these intersections, the chainage between them carefully 

 ascertained, and other posts were planted to mark the lot corners by proportioning 

 the chainage according to that given in the original field notes.
