TOW^NSHIP OF DeVITT, DISTRICT OF AlGOMA. 



Delta, Ontario, December 18th, 1907. 



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

 the township of Devitt in the district of Algoma, performed under instruc- 

 tions from your department, dated May 6th, 1907. 



This township is bounded on the south by the township of Staunton, 

 which was subdivided by me this year, on the east by the township of Eilber, 

 and on the north and west by unsurveyed lands of the crown. At present, 

 access to it is most easily obtained by means of the canoe route from Mis- 

 ''.anabi Station on the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, through 

 Dog Lake, Crooked Lake, Missanabi Lake and down the river of the same 

 name which passes through the southeast corner of the township. 



I commenced my survey by chaining and posting the south boundary 

 from the southeast corner, westerly, the posts being planted in accordance 

 with instructions, leaving a road allowance, one chain wide between lots six 

 and seven, twelve and thirteen, eighteen and nineteen and twenty-four and 

 twenty-five, and projecting meridians north astronomically in the centre of 

 these road allowances. A road allowance, one chain wide was left between 

 the alternate concessions, the centre lines of which were run ^ue east and 

 west astronomically. Suitable wooden posts of the most durable material 

 available, and properly marked, were planted along the concession lines and 

 ^long the road allowances adjoining lakes and streams in accordance with 

 instructions, the necessary information being recorded in the field notes. 



In addition to this, iron bars, one and one-quarter inches in diameter, 

 were planted on the side line between lots twelve and thirteen at its inter- 

 section with the south boundary marked "W on north, south, east and west 

 sides, and "Con, I" on north, at its intersection with line between conces- 

 sions six and seven, marked with four **E,'s" and at its intersection with 

 the north boundary marked *'E," on east, south and west sides, also on line 

 between concessions six and seven at its intersection with road allowance 

 around lake on lot one, marked "R" on south, east and north sides, and 

 "'I" on west, and at its intersection with west boundary marked "B" on 

 north, east, and south sides.
