Base and Meridian Lines in the Yicinity of Larder Lake in the District 



OF Nipissing. 



Windsor, Ontario, December 7th, 1907. 



Sir, — In compliance with instructions received from your department, 

 dated June 11th, 1907, I have completed the survey of the Base and Meri- 

 dian Lines in the vicinity of Larder Lake, in the district of Nipissing. 



I left Windsor by the Canadian Pacific Railway on the morning of 

 June 20th, and arrived at New Liskeard on the morning of June 21st, where 

 1 had made arrangements for my supplies and some men, and was thus 

 able to complete arrangements during the day, and left for Englehart that 

 evening, and was thus able to arrive at Boston on the evening of the 22nd. At 

 Boston, I secured a few pairs of blankets and shoe packs, etc., for some 

 of my men, and packed into the north-west corner of the township of Boston 

 on Monday, June 24th, where I commenced the survey on Tuesday. 



I commenced my survey at a one and seven-eighth inch iron post set 

 beside a six inch spruce post in a cairn of stones, both marked on the north- 

 east "Lebel," on the south "Con. VI.," on the south-west "Otto," on the 

 south-east "Boston." Thence I ran the second base line east to its inter- 

 section with the second meridian. 



I then returned to the northwest corner of Boston and ran the first 

 meridian due north six miles, numbering the posts on the south side with 

 the number of miles each was from the northwest corner of Boston. From 

 the sixth mile post on the first meridian I ran the third base line due east 

 until it intersected the third meridian, numbering the posts on the west 

 hide as shown on the accompanying map. 



I then returned to the sixth mile post on the first meridian and con- 

 tinued it due north twelve miles 5.57 chains to the southerly boundary of 

 the township of Barnet, which I intersected 24.88 chains west of the south- 

 east corner of the said township. 



I then moved north to the northeast corner of the township of Barnet, 

 which is also the southeast corner of the township of Michaud, where I found 

 a one and seven-eighth inch iron post set beside a seven inch spruce post 

 marked on the northwest side "Michaud," on the southwest "Barnet," on 

 the south "Con. VI.," on the north "XVIII. M.+3.70c," on the west "Lot 

 I, XII. M. -f- 6.83c." From the last mentioned corner I ran the fourth base 

 line due east to the line between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, 

 intersecting the third base line at 11 M.+ 61.16 chains from the northeast 

 corner of Barnet, and the interprovincial boundary 27.53 chains north of 

 the 61st mile post on the said boundary. 



Again I commenced the second meridian line at the one and seven- 

 eighth iron post, set beside a three inch spruce post marked on the south 

 side "VI. M.," on the southeast side "Catharine," on the southwest 

 "Pacaud," on the northwest "Boston," and a six inch cedar post marked 

 on the south side "Con. VI.," on the west side "Lot I.," planted on the 

 northwest corner of the township of Catharine, which is also the north- 

 east corner of the township of Pacaud and running due north to the 

 3rd base line, intersecting the 2nd base line at 5 M.-|- 78.54 chains and the 

 south shore of Victoria Lake at 5 M. + 14.57 chains from the 2nd base line. 



After completing the 2nd meridian I returned to the 2nd base line 

 which I continued east to the line between the townships of McElroy and 

 Hearst which intersected the last mentioned line at 2,83 chains south of the
