EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



EouTiNE OF Work. 



On May 16th, I left Cobalt with my party. We commenced the survey of 

 Opazatika Eiver at the south boundary of McCrea Township on May 19th, and 

 worked upstream in a southerly direction through Opazatika Eiver, Eufus, Penelton 

 and Opazatika Lakes, finishing this portion of the work on July 4th. From 

 Opazatika Lake we came down stream to the National Transcontinental Eailway 

 and boarded train to Foleyet on Canadian Northern Ontario Eailway. 



The survey of Pishkanogama Lake was commenced at the south boundary of 

 Foleyet Township on July 14th, and finished on August 5th." Camp was moved 

 to Ground Hog Lake. 



The survey of Ground Hog Lake was commenced at the south boundary of 

 the north half of Keith Township on August 9th, continued through Ground 

 Hog Eiver to Horwood Lake. Through Horwood Lake and the north-east arm 

 thereof and tied on to the north boundary of Dale Township. This work was 

 finished on September 13th and camp moved south to Sahkatawichtah Eiver. 



The survey of Sahkatawichtah Eiver was commenced at the south boundary 

 of Dale Township on September 16th and continued southerly to Sahkatawichtah 

 Lake. The survey of this lake was completed with the exception of a small 

 portion. at the north-west end. This is shown dotted on the plan. 



For some time the weather had been stormy and wet, making it difficult to 

 get readings and dangerous for men in canoes owing to the size of the lake. On 

 the morning of September 30th I moved camp to Ground Hog. On October 1st, 

 I paid off my party with the exception of C. E. Code, O.L.S.,. who has assisted 

 me in preparing plans of the work. 



From considerable traverse work I have done in winter I think that about 

 as good progress can be made then as in summer. As blazed trees are used to 

 tie in traverse points, the difficulty of planting posts in winter is not encountered. 

 The main traverse being chained on the ice, is very accurate. Even with the 

 snow, the shore line can be determined very accurately. If you so desire, I shall 

 be glad to continue the survey as soon as the ice becomes good. 



The following is the mileage of traverse : — 



Opazatika — Sahkatawichtah River 6.5 



River 25.5 Sahkatawichtah Lake ... 20.0 



Lakes 83.5 Sahkatawichtah Islands ... 1.5 



Islands 16.5 28.0 



125.5 



Pishkanogama — 



Ground Hog — Shore Line Blue .... 61.7 



Horwood Lake 45 . 8 iShore Line Brown 69.8 



Ground Hog River 4.5 Islands 4.7 



Ground Hog Lake 10.5 136.2 



Islands G. H. L 2.0 



Islands Horwood Lake... 3.0 Total 355.5 



65.8 



This total is only approximate. 



Method of Survey. 

 (a) Instruments used. 



Except in the survey of Pishkanogama Lake, where most of distances between 

 stations were chained on the sand, the traverse was made by stadia readings for 

 distance. Azimuth ano^les were carried through with a transit.
