82 REPORT OF THE - No. 3 



and 43. At a distance of 57 chains and 69 links from the point of commence- 

 ment, an iron post was planted to mark the chainage of three miles from the 

 south boundaries of the townships. Standard pits were dug to the north and 

 south and a wooden post was planted as required by your instructions. From 

 this post we continued north on the line between townships 42 and 43 to the 

 line run by O.L.S. Stewart delimiting the north boundary of township 43. 

 The iron post planted by him was found 8 links west of our line. A standard 

 iron post with pits and mounds, was planted at the intersection and the old 

 post was removed. From this corner we ran east along the south boundary 

 of township 44. The party then returned to the south-west corner of township 

 44 and ran the line between townships 44 and 45 north, to the intersection 

 with the north boundary of township 45 as defined by O.L.S. Stewart. 

 Mr. Stewart's post was found 7 links west of our line. It was removed, and one 

 of the standard posts was planted at the intersection. 



Dog Lake intersects the west boundary of the township of Stover about 

 one mile north of the south-west corner of the township, and the boundary line 

 was carried across the lake before we proceeded to run the boundary between 

 .the township of Stover and township 44. We ran east a distance of six miles 

 to the township corner, which lay in a small lake, locally known as Ruby Lake. 

 The iron post, properly marked and monumented, was planted three chains 

 south of the true corner of the line between township 44 and the township of 

 Lang. Wooden posts were planted at the intersection of the township lines 

 with the north, east and west shores of the lake. From this corner we ran the 

 line between the townships of Stover and Brackin north to Crooked Lake and 

 the boundary between the township of Brackin and Lang east to Missinaibi 

 Lake. We then proceeded south along the boundary between township 44 and 

 the township of Lang to intersect the south boundary of township 44, run by us. 

 The south boundary of the township of Lang was then run easterly six miles. 

 Returning we picked up the north boundary of the township of Lang on the 

 west shore of Missinaibi Lake and continued it east to chainage six miles. 



We then ran south to intersect our south boundary of the township of Lang. 

 As the intersection came on bare rock, the corner was marked by a cross chiselled 

 in the granite and the iron post was planted on the south boundary of the town- 

 ship of Lang three chains west of the true corner. 



Returning to the north east corner of the township of Lang, we ran north, 

 delimiting the east boundary of the township of Brackin. The south shore of 

 Missinaibi Lake was reached at a chainage of about two miles and a quarter, 

 and with the exception of the crossing of the island of Reva and another small 

 island, the rest of this boundary lies in Missinaibi Lake. The chainage was 

 carried forward by a triangulation based on the west shore. Having established 

 the line on the north shore of the lake, we proceeded via Crooked Lake and 

 Dog Lake to the west boundary of the township of Stover on our way running 

 the remainder of the line between the townships of Stover and Brackin. The 

 west boundary of the township of Stover was carried northward to the corner 

 of the township and the line continued northward along the west boundary 

 of the township of Rennie to O.L.S. Niven's base line of 1900. We then returned 

 to the south-west corner of the township of Rennie and ran east between the 

 townships of Rennie and Stover to the east boundary of the township of Stover. 

 From the intersection the boundary between the townships of Rennie and 

 Leeson was run north to O.L.S. Niven's line and the boundary between the 

 townships of Leeson and Brackin east to Missinaibi Lake and the east boundaries
