90 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



east side. A wooden post similarly marked except for the word "Jamieson" 

 was found, both in a stone mound. On the east boundary between concessions 

 three and four, I planted a one and one-quarter inch iron post marked "Con. 

 IV" on the north, "Con. Ill" on the south, "XII" on the east and "I" 

 on the west. A^wooden post planted beside it was similarly marked. 



On the front of concession four between lots six and seven, I planted a 

 one and one-quarter inch iron post marked "Con. IV" on the north, "Con. 

 Ill" on the south, "VI" on the east and "VII" on the west sides, respec- 

 tively. A wooden post planted beside it was similarly marked. Where con- 

 cession four intersected O.L.S. Niven's meridian line, (the west boundary), 

 I planted a one and one-quarter inch iron post marked "Con. IV" on the 

 north, "Con. Ill" on the south and "XII" on the east. A wooden post 

 similarly marked was planted beside it and the distance north to O.L.S. 

 Niven's IX M post was noted. 



At the northeast angle of the Township I planted a one and seven- 

 eighths inch iron post marked "Con. VI" on the south, "XII" on the east, 

 "I" on the west, "Jamieson" on the southwest and "Jessop" on the south- 

 east. A wooden post similarly marked was planted beside it. 



On the north boundary between lots six and seven was planted a one 

 and one-quarter inch iron post marked "Con. VI" on the south, "VI" on 

 the east, and "VII" on the west sides. A wooden post similarly marked 

 was planted beside it and the distance to O.L.S. Fitzgerald's post noted. 

 At the intersection of the north boundary (run by O.L.S. Fitzgerald this 

 season), with O.L.S. Nfven's meridian run in 1905, was found, a one and 

 seven-eighths inch iron post marked "Con. I" on the north, "^11" on 

 the east and "MacDiarmid" on the northeast to which I added "Jamieson" 

 on the southeast, "Con. VI" on the south. A wooden post similarly marked 

 except for the words "Jamieson" was planted beside it. All of the iron 

 posts 'were of tubing, forged at the top, pointed at the bottom and painted 

 red and all marking done with a cold chisel. 



The wooden posts planted between lots two and three, four and five, 

 six and seven, eight and nine, and ten and eleven, on the different conces- 

 sions were marked according to the different lots and concessions to which 

 they referred, that is, on north, south, east and west. The wooden posts 

 planted on the different concessions between lots one and two, three and 

 four, five and six, seven and eight, nine and ten and eleven and twelve, 

 were marked on three sides only, that is on north, east and west sides, 

 according to the different lots and concessions to which they referred. Bear- 

 ing trees at a convenient distance were carefully marked and noted for every 

 post planted by me. 



The distances along the north boundary from my posts to those placed 

 by O.L.S. Fitzgerald for Macdiarmid and along the west boundary to those 

 placed by O.L.S. Niven were chained and noted in each case. 



Observations on Polaris at .Elongation for Azimuth were taken when 

 convenient which was seldom on account of continual rain. 



The magnetic variation was found to be fairly constant at eight degrees 

 west. 



All lines were well opened up and blazed and were run with transit and 

 all are straight lines through the township from boundary to boundary 

 except in one instance where a slight deflection was made after observing 

 Polaris, viz., at front of concession three on line between lots three and 

 four where it crosses Mattagami River. The traverse of Mattagami and 

 Kamislrotia rivers was made with transit and micrometer.
