90 REPOET OF THE No. 3 



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

 crosses the south-west corner of the township. 



Mr. Shannon, of Bisco, has a clearing of about twenty-seven acres 

 located on lots 11 and 12 in the third concession. There are also two settlers in 

 that part of the township surveyed by me, Nazareth Darby is located in a triangular 

 piece of land on the south-east corner of lot 12, concession 3. He has a house built 

 and five or six acres cleared. Donar Lefonte is located on lot 12, concession 2, he 

 has a house built and has about six acres cleared on this lot. 



This tract is well watered by numerous lakes, creeks and ponds, and also by 

 Turnbull creek or Pogamasing river, which flows southerly through the first four 

 concessions of the township. This stream has an average width of thirty to fifty 

 links and an average depth of from two to five feet. It has a fair current and is, I 

 understand, used for the fioating of logs and timber. 



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,

 Survey of the Township op Ovv^ens, District of Timiskaming. 



Fort William, Ontario, January 31st, 1916. 



SiR;, — I beg to submit the following report on the survey of the township of 

 Owens, in the district of Timiskaming, surveyed by me under instructions dated at 

 Toronto, September 16th, 1915. 



I proceeded to McPherson on the Transcontinental Railway, taking with me 

 certain members of my party. I had already arranged with a surveyor then in 

 the north country for a number of men, including a transit man, a chain man and 

 eight axe men witli boats, to meet me there, but on arriving found neither 

 na^n.i^pr boats. I then sent the men I had brought with me into the town- 

 ship io put up camp, etc., whilst I went to Cochrane and other points to 

 secure men. This, of course, caused considerable delay, and did not give me as 

 strong a party as could have been desired. Owing to the phenomenally wet weather
