Appendix No. 26. 



Traverse of Missinaibi Lake and River and Tributary Waters, Districts 



OF Algoma and Sudbury. 



Sault Ste. Marie, February 16th, 1920. 



Sir, — Under instructions from you dated 8th May, 1919, to make survey 

 of Dog, Crooked and Missinaibi Lakes, I commenced organizing for this survey 

 on the 21st May. I left Sault Ste. Marie with complete outfit and four men for 

 Missinaibi Station where I started survey of Dog Lake on 22nd May. 



This survey has been carried out in strict accordance with instructions. 

 From chained base lines a complete triangulation survey was carried out. Astrono- 

 mic bearings were carried throughout and observations taken at intervals of not 

 more than fifteen miles. Instrument and stadia rod were checked from time 

 to time and continued in good adjustment. Stadia rod was used with two targets 

 and readings taken by competent rod man and recorded carefully, and work 

 checked and plotted every evening. Outlines of shores and islands were obtained 

 by stadia readings from triangulation points on short traverses therefrom. 



At intervals of about a mile apart along the shores of the lakes at con- 

 spicuous points, a tree was blazed and numbered, and where trees were not avail- 

 able, a post was planted — marked and well mounded with rock. 



Dog Lake Report. 



On the westerly shore of Dog Lake the south boundary of Township Forty- 

 seven, Range Twenty-seven was found, opened up and re-blazed and a new post 

 planted and mounded with rock together with the old post. From the south- 

 east angle of Township Forty-six, Range Twenty-seven, the line between Town- 

 ships Forty-five and Forty-six was opened up and re-blazed westerly approxi- 

 mately two miles to the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. At the 

 various points where the line intersected the shores of Dog Lake, posts were 

 planted and mounded with rock, A bench mark painted on solid rock was estab- 

 lished near lake shore at Missinaibi Station ; to Canadian Pacific Railway datum. 



The area of Dog Lake is about twenty-two and five-tenth square miles and 

 has approximately one hundred and fifty miles of shore line and seventy islands.
