Appendix No. 29. 

 Survey of Part of the Township of Joffre, District of Sudbury. 



Peterborough, Ontario, March 23nd, 191.6. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith the field notes and plans of the 

 survey of part of the township of Joffre, in the district of Sudbury, performed by 

 me under instructions from your Department dated October 23rd, 1915. 



Having already surveyed parts of the townships of Hall and Carew lying im- 

 mediately west and north, respectively, of this township, and having made conces- 

 sions V and VI on the east boundary of Hall eighty chains each in depth, and 

 having made lots 12, 11, 10 and 9 forty chains each in width along, the south 

 boundary of Carew, I produced the lines between concessions IV and V and V and 

 VI of the township of Hall due east astronomically to the east limit of lot 9. I 

 also produced the side lines between lots 11 and 12 and 8 and 9 of the township 

 of Carew due south astronomically to the south limit of concession V. That por- 

 tion of the township surveyed by me comprises an area of 2,558.12 acres. 



As this township lies immediately south of and is very similar in its general 

 characteristics to the township of Carew, on which I have just reported very fully, 

 I do not consider it will be necessary to repeat this information. 



As will be seen by the plan, this township is considerably cut up by Vernon 

 or Eamsay lake and Turbull creek or Pogamasing river, which enters the lake on 

 lot 9, concession VI. 



A good wagon road leading to the Shannon limits on the Spanish river waters 

 crosses the north-west angle of the township. 



A round post one and one-quarter inches in diameter and three feet long, fur- 

 nished to me by your Department, is planted at the intersection of side line between 

 lots 8 and 9 and the line in front of concession V, this post is marked " Con. V " 

 on the north side, " Con. IV " on the south side, '^' Lot IX ^' on the west side and 

 " Lot VIII " on the east side. It has also the name " Joifre " marked on the 

 north-west side. At all other intersections of side lines and concession lines sur- 

 veyed by me are planted solid iron posts seven-eighths inches square and two feet 

 six inches long. These posts are planted at the exact points where the various 

 concession and side road lines intersect; they are driven within eight inches of the 

 surface of the ground and have the numbers of the lots and concessions marked 

 with a cold chisel on the respective sides thereof. 



Fish, game and fur of the usual kind common to this section of the Province 

 are to be found in abundance. Frequent observations for azimuth were taken on 

 Polaris at elongation, also solar observations for latitude, records of which will be 

 found in the notes. 



Trusting that this report with the accompanying plans, field notes, etc., of the 

 survey will be found complete and satisfactory to your Department. 



I have the honour to be. Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



(Signed) J. W. Fitzgerald, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 



The Honourable, the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto, Ontario.
