58 EEPOET OF THE No. S 



angle of same stating that he there came to a sheer cliff of 600 feet. I commenced 

 my survey on this north limit of lot ten (10), concession seven (7), and found 

 that said limit had been cut for about 34 chains from the north-west angle of the 

 lot and stopped at a 150 foot cliff. I found several pickets on this line and having- 

 no opportunity for an observation at this point, produced the line eastward from 

 his picket planting posts as shown in the notes. My instructions were to run this 

 line to intersect the west limit of mining claim 115E which had been surveyed 

 in 1889. 



I ran this line as above described and eventually reached a line marking the 

 limits of said claim. This, however, was not a surveyed, but merely a random line. 

 Said line was followed to the north and to the south. All posts had either been 

 destroyed or had never been planted. Said line was, however, well blazed. I then 

 planted a post as instructed and chained south down said line to where the southerly 

 limit of the claim intersected this west limit. 



While this work was in progress I had men searching for the north limit of 

 concession eight (8) as my instructions were to run the line between lots eight and 

 nine (8 and 9), southerly from the post planted by O.L.S. Paulin on this line to 

 mark the north-east angle of lot nine (9), concession eight (8). This north limit 

 could not be found. It had never been run. Subsequent search (two weeks later) 

 showed that it had been run from hill to hill, omitting the parts in the valleys. I 

 therefore took the chainage of 41.13 on the front of concession eight (8), from 

 north-east angle lot ten. (10), concession seven (7), and at this point turned off 

 the front of concession eight (8) and ran the line between lots eight (8) and nine 

 (9) northward some 46 chains. My reason for using this chainage was that O.L.S. 

 Paulin had shown this as the width of the lot, on the rear of concession eight 

 (8), and using this chainage would put my line between lots eight (8) and nine 

 (9), very close to the location he intended for it. As stated above, subsequent 

 search proved the rear of concession eight (8) to have been run from hill to hill. 

 I then connected blazes on the hills and ran the line through the valley to intersect 

 the line I had run between lots eight and nine (8 and 9) and I planted a post. 

 There was no sign of the balsam post said to have been planted by O.L.S. Paulin 

 at this point. 'No trace whatever was found of mining claim 28E. shown on the 

 projected plan sent to me to be on the line between lots eight (8) and nine (9). 

 There was no survey line intersecting my line, nor any blazed line at all. 



The line above described for the line between lots eight (8) and nine (9) I 

 then produced to the southward and ran it for four miles south of the north-east 

 angle of lot nine (9), concession seven (7). There had been no opportunity this 

 far for an astronomical observation, the weather having been most unfavorable. 



I next ran the line between concessions six (6) and seven (7). I found the 

 post planted by O.L.S. Paulin to mark the north-east angle of lot eleven (11), 

 concession six (6). I found five of his pickets on the line marking the north limit 

 of said lot eleven (11). There being no opportunity here for an observation I 

 then lined up the pickets aforesaid and produced the line on to the eastAvard. 



As shown in the field notes this line so produced intersected my line between 

 lots eight and nine (8 and 9) 5.97 chains north of the point as determined by 

 chainage to mark the north-east angle of lot nine (9), concession six (6). To date 

 there had been no astronomical observations. I was, therefore, not positive of the 

 bearing of my line between lots eight and nine (8 and 9), it having been turned 

 off one of O.L.S. Paulin's lines. The same may be said of my line between con- 

 cessions six and seven (6 and 7). It was produced from O.L.S. Paulin's line, and
