{Appendix No. 28.) 

 Township of Jamieson, District or Algoma. 



Sudbury, December 18th, 1907. 



Sir, — I have the honor to submit the following report of the survey 

 of the Township of Jamieson, in the District of Algoma, performed under 

 instructions dated July 10th, 1907. 



I proceeded to the work by way of Metagami Station on the main line 

 of the Canadian Pacific Railway, July 22nd, 1907, thence by the usual canoe 

 route down the Mattagami River, arriving at O.L.S. Niven's second base 

 line on August second. The work of surveying the township of Jessop was 

 commenced on August third, as per instructions but in ten days was com- 

 pelled to abandon this work owing to disaffections among my men, on account 

 of the wet and low nature of the ground, due to incessant rains and conse- 

 ()uent drowned land and proceeded to subdivide Jamieson township, which 

 was much better drained. 



This township is bounded on the south by O.L.S. Niven's second base 

 line run in 1905, and by the township of Godfrey, being surveyed this 

 season by O.L.S. Green. On the west by O.L.S. Niven's meridian run in 

 1905, and by the unsurveyed lands of the Crown. On the north by the 

 Township of MacDiarmid, being surveyed by O.L.S. Fitzgerald this season 

 and on the east by the township of Jessop, being surveyed by the writer 

 this season. 



The survey of this township was commenced on August fourteenth by 

 running a meridian line due north from O.L.S. Niven's sixth mile post on 

 his second base line run in 1905, to the south boundary of Kidd and Mac- 

 Diarmid, our line coming out two links east of the post planted for the south- 

 west corner of Kidd. Posts were planted at every mile on this line for the 

 several concessions, the sixth concession, however, was found to be seventy- 

 nine chains and ninety-one links. 



Posts were planted at the end of forty chains in every mile on O.L.S. 

 Niven's second base line, forming the south boundary of the township to 

 mark the width of lots not otherwise marked by mile posts. 



Our chainage practically agreeing with that of O.L.S. Niven's on his 

 base line in every mile, his mile posts were adopted as the starting points 

 for our several meridians run due north through this township from the 

 base line. The concession lines were run due west across the township from 

 the posts planted on the east boundary every mile as before mentioned. 



Where I started my survey at the southeast angle, I found a one and 

 seven-eighths inch iron post marked ^'VIM" on the east side, on which I 

 marked **Con. I" on the north side, "XII" on the east side, "I" on the 

 west side, "Jamieson" on the northwest side, and "Jessop" on the north- 

 east side. A wooden post found beside the iron post was similarly marked 

 except for the words "Jessop" and "Jamieson." On the south boundary 

 was found a one and one-quarter inch iron post marked "IX M" on the 

 east side, on which I marked "YI" on the east, "VII" on the west, "Con. I" 

 on the north. A wooden post beside it was similarly marked. 



On the south boundary at the intersection of O.L.S. Niven's base line 

 with his meridian run in 1905 was found a one and seven-eighths inch iron 

 post marked "XII M" on the east "VIM" on the south on which I marked 

 "XII" on the east, "Con. I" on the north and "Jamieson" on the north-
