78 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



and south sides and the same in all the other concessions. The posts planted 

 between lots 2 and 3, 4 and 5, etc., where the side lines were run, refer to both 

 concessions and were, therefore, marked with the concession number on both the 

 east and west sides, and with the lot numbers on the other sides. On the west 

 boundary I planted posts only at the intersections of the side lines with that 

 boundary. I brushed out and chained the east boundary of the township, and in 

 my chainage have shown the positions of all posts planted on this line in the 

 former survey. 



Where the front angle or angles of a lot fell in a lake or river, I projected 

 and planted the post in the proper place and have shown in my field notes the 

 posdtion of such posts. Where the intersection of a concession and side line came 

 in a lake or river, I planted a post above high water mark at each of the four points 

 in which these lines intersected the shore of such lake or river. 



In performing the survey the lines were well cut out and blazed. Astrono- 

 mical observations were taken at least once a week on Polaris at elongation to 

 verify the direction of my lines. 



The field notes were kept according to instructions, giving first the east 

 boundary, then the line between the first and second concession, next the line 

 between the second and third concession and so on, then the side line between lots 

 numbered 2 and 3, throughout the various concessions, then the side line between 

 lots 4 and 5 throughout the various concessions and so on. 



According to instructions I tied in my survey with the Canadian Northern 

 and the Canadian Pacific Railways, and have plotted them correctly on my plan 

 and have computed the areas of the several lots or parts of the lots through which 

 they pass. 



With a Tiew of making the survey permanent in case of fire, I planted, along- 

 side the wooden posts, iron posts, at the points indicated in red on the projected 

 plan accompanying my instructions. These posts were marked with a cold chisel 

 with the numbers of the lots and concessions, similarly to the wooden posts along- 

 side which they are placed. The positions of these posts are shown in my field 

 notes. 



All waters within the limits of the township were surveyed and connected 

 with my lines of survey, whether such waters were intersected by the concession or 

 side lines run by me, or not. These surveys have been plotted on a scale of ten 

 chains to the inch. The survey of Wolf river and the lakes in the township were 

 carried out by means of the stadia, except in the case of lakes intersected by the 

 survey lines, where the distances were obtained by triangulation in the usual way. 



Accompanying this report is a plan on a scale of forty chains to the in<Jh, 

 showing the natural features of the country, also field notes of the township and a 

 timber plan of the same. 



Under date of August 23rd, 1913, I wrote Mr. Kirkpatrick to the effect that 

 I was unable to locate the north boundary of the township of Dorion, this line 

 forming the south boundary of the township of Stirling. The old blazes 

 and marks had been obliterated by fire. I re-ran the whole of this line. 

 Mr. Kirkpatrick replied under date October 17th, 1913, that I will, therefore, be 

 allowed to charge the amount per mile as in the other parts of the township accord- 

 ing to instructions. On my plan I have shown locations A.L.663, A.L.561, 

 A.L.633 and E.D.405A according to instructions. 1 beg to report on the natural 

 features of the country under the following heads :
