 Traverse Part of English River, District of Patricia 



Thessalon, Ont., April 24th, 1923. 



Sir, — In accordance with your instructions, date April 18th, 1922, I spent 

 the summer of 1922 in making a traverse of part of the English River and lake 

 expansions of the same, and beg to submit the following report. 



The survey was commenced at the outlet of Lac Seul and continued down 

 stream as far as Indian Lake where operations were discontinued for the season. 

 A earful traverse of the main river and all lake expansions, including Mattawa

 bases. Astronomic observations were taken very frequently and bearings 

 were checked by long control sights wherever circumstances would permit.

 stantial wooden posts were planted in cairns of stones. Each of these posts 

 with very few exceptions was planted at a transit station. The posts were 

 numbered consecutively from one upwards, each post being marked with the 



letter P, followed by the number of the post, thus "P. No " All posts 



were marked with a proper scribing iron.

 tied to transit stations on the main shofe. The islands were numbered con- 

 secutively from one upwards. Most of the islands were marked by a post set 

 in a substantial mound of stones, the post being marked with the letter "I" 

 followed by the number of the island, thus "I. No. ..." In some cases an 

 island was marked by a prominent tree blazed conspicuously and marked
