The district boundary run in 1898 forms the east boundary of the town- 

 ship, and the west boundary was surveyed during the present season by 

 Messrs. Cavana & Watson 



Along the lines of survey in the centre of the several concession road 

 allowances, posts were planted at the intersection of the lot lines, marked 

 with the numbers of the lots on the east and west sides, and "E," on the 

 north and south side ; at the centre of the side road allowances the posts were 

 marked "R" on four sides. 



At the distance of fifty links north and south from the centre of the 

 concession road allowances, posts were firmly planted at the front angles 

 of the lots, and marked to indicate the number of the lot and concession, and 

 with the letter "R" facing the road allowance. 



Posts were also planted to mark the limit of road allowances around the 

 shores of lakes and rivers ; and where the front angle of a lot came in a lake 

 or river, the posts were placed on the lot line at the distance of one chain 

 from high water mark, and guide posts planted and trees marked near the 

 shore so as to be readily found. 



No posts were planted along the side roads to mark the blind conces- 

 sion lines. 



In addition to the wooden posts referred to, iron posts, one and one- 

 quarter inches in diameter were planted in the centre of the road intersections 

 at the following points : between lots twelve and thirteen on the south boun- 

 dary, marked "Con. I" on the north side, and "R" on four sides. 



Between lots twelve and thirteen on the line between the sixth and 

 seventh concessions, marked "Con. VI." on the south side, "Con. VII." on 

 the north side, and "R" on four sides. 



i3etween lots twelve . and thirteen on the north boundary marked 

 "Con. XII." on the south side, and "R" on four sides. 



On the line between the sixth and seventh concessions at the east boun- 

 dary, and also at the west boundary, marked "Co. VI." on the south sides, 

 "Con. VII." on the north sides, and "R" on four sides. 



At the northwest angle of the township an iron post one and seven- 

 eighths inches in diameter was planted and marked "Leitch" on the south- 

 east side, and "R" on four sides. 



At the southeast angle the iron post one and seven-eighths inches, for- 

 merely planted, was marked "Leitch" on the northwest side. 



At the northeast angle the iron posts one and one-quarter inches, 

 planted by A. Niven, O.L.S., at the 180th mile, was marked "Leitch" on 

 the southwest side, and "R" on. four sides. 



At the southwest angle the iron post, one and seven-eighths inches, by 

 0. L. Surveyors Cavana & Watson, was marked "Leitch" on the north- 

 east side. 



Timber. 



Black spruce forest extends over the greater portion of the township, 

 on the higher lands these trees are from eight to twelve inches in diameter 

 but the great bulk of this timber is somewhat smaller. 



From one end to the other dead tamarac of about the same size is found. 



Poplar, white birch and balsam, six to eighteen inches in diameter, are 

 quite common, and along the rivers and streams, white spruce, balm of 

 Gilead, and cedar of larger size are scattered over the country, but no exten- 

 sive tracts of large timber were met with.
