64 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



I found no traces of mineral whatever. 



The average magnetic variation is about eight degrees and thirty minutes 

 west of north. 



I would consider about fifty-five per cent, of this township suitable for 

 immediate settlement, and there can be no doubt that by a proper drainage 

 of the swamps nearly all the remainder can be made suitable for agri- 

 culture. 



Several trial lines of the Grand Trunk Pacific Eailway (Transconti- 

 nental) cross the township, I have shown as nearly as I possibly can the 

 final location, and with the railway built here and the township open to 

 settlers, I would look for a speedy opening up of this section. 



Game and fur of the usual kinds, particularly moose, are to be seen in 

 abundance. 



Wild fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries, etc., were plentiful. 



Observations for azimuth were taken as often as possible during the pro- 

 gress of the work. 



I have the honour to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant,

Ontario Land Surveyor.

 mill in the District of Sudbury and to prepare a plan and field notes of my 

 survey for transmission to your Department. 



I beg to report that pursuant to these instructions I mad© preparations 

 for an early departure and proceeded northward by canoes from Metagama 

 Station over the Mettagami route. 



We arrived in the Township of Kingsmill on Saturday July 4th, 1908, 

 and commenced work at the southeast corner of ihe township on Monday, 

 July 6th, where I found the wooden post described in the field notes of 0. 

 L. S. Speight. From this point I ran my south boundary due west astro- 

 nomically, planting a wooden post every forty chains for a distance of six 

 miles. 



I then ran my west boundary due north astronomically from my six 

 mile post until it intersected the south boundary of the Township of-Mabee, 

 which it did at a point fifty-four links east of the southeast angle of Mabee. 



I then divided the township into sections of 640 acres as near as possible, 

 as shown in the accompanying field notes and planted a wooden post, prop-
