Appendix No. 29 



Certain Township Outlines, District of Sudbury 



Peterborough, Ont., October 31st, 1923. 



Sir, — I beg to report that, agreeable with instructions from your depart- 

 menj;, dated April 15th, 1923, to survey certain township outlines in the district 

 of Sudbury, that I have completed this work and beg to submit herewith my 

 plans, field notes and report, all of which I trust will be found complete and 

 satisfactory to your department. 



I commenced the survey at an iron post planted by myself in 1916 at a 

 point on the north boundary of the township of Hall, two miles west of the 

 northeast angle of that township. After getting an observation for azimuth 

 at this point, I ran four miles west. I then moved my camp to Turnbull Creek 

 on the Canadian Pacific Railway and from the iron post planted by Ontario 

 Land Surveyor Stewart in 1892 to mark the line between township No. 16 

 and Cavell, I ran south to intersect the line between the townships of Cavell 

 and Hall. I continued this line south to the north boundary of the township of 

 Hubbard. I then returned to the northwest angle of the township of Hall 

 and from this point I ran west along the north boundary of the township of 

 Faust to intersect the meridian line surveyed by Ontario Land Surveyor Niven 

 in 1902. Having completed this work I moved west along the north boundary 

 of township 9 Z, recently surveyed by Ontario Land Surveyor Mooney, to a 

 point two miles, sixty-eight chains and thirty-seven links west of the northeast 

 angle of that township, and from this point I continued west making Township 

 9 Z six miles wide on its northern extremity. From this point, I ran south to 

 intersect the north boundary of township 8 A and north 6 miles. I then re- 

 turned to the northwest angle of township 9 Z and ran west six miles along 

 the north boundary of township 9 A from which point I ran south to intersect 

 the north boundary of township 8 B and north six miles. I then returned to 

 the northwest angle of township 9 A from which point I ran west along the 

 north boundary of township 9 B. I then ran south to intersect the north 

 boundary of township 8 C and north to intersect a line run this season by 

 Ontario Land Surveyors McAuslan, Anderson and Moore. I then returned 

 to the northwest angle of township 9 B and ran west six miles along the north 

 boundary of township 9 C, from which point I ran north to again intersect 

 the line surveyed by Ontario Land Surveyors McAuslan, Anderson and Moore. 



Having finished this part of the work I moved to Woman River Station 

 on the Canadian Pacific Railway and from the iron post planted by Ontario 

 Land Surveyor Stewart in 1892 to mark the northeast angle of township No, 

 19, I ran west 12 miles connecting with my own work and that of McAuslan, 

 Anderson and Moore. Wooden posts made of the most durable wood in the 

 locality and at least six inches square and three feet high were planted at the 

 end of every mile, excepting where that point fell in a lake or river, in which 

 case the post was planted on the line at the nearest shore. At the end of every 

 third mile the iron posts supplied by your Department were planted and pits 

 and mounds made according to instructions. 



All the country covered by these eleven townships is very rough and rocky 

 and almost completely devoid of agricultural land, nor does there appear on 

 the surface any indications of the existence of economic minerals. Four or
