Appendix No. 22. 

 Township of Mountjot, District or Sudbury. 



Toronto, Ont., April 21st, 1908. 



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

 of the township of Mountjoy in the District of Sudbury. 



On the 16th of July last, I was instructed to proceed with as little delay 

 as possible to the townships of Mountjoy and Godfrey for the purpose of sub- 

 dividing the same into lots of 320 acres each. 



I engaged a small party in Ottawa and purchased my provisions in 

 Sudbury and started north from Metagami station on tHe Canadian Pacific 

 Railway, on the morning of the 24th July, and reached O.L.S, Niven's 

 first base line on the 8th of August, following. 



Having taken observations on Polaris at the crossing of the Mattagami 

 River by Niven's base line, I proceeded to retrace the base line and turned 

 the angles for the meridians or side lines for a couple of miles on each side 

 of the river. We then moved camp to a point a little below the mouth of a 

 creek (which we called Mountjoy Creek) and near the Porcupine portage 

 using the canoes on the river for transportation. 



This point is very conveniently situated in the southeast quarter of the 

 township ; and the retracing of the base line and meridian line forming 

 the eastern boundary of the township were completed from this camp, also 

 the starting of the concession and side lines. 



Having performed all the work that could be conveniently done from 

 this point we moved camp up stream to the southern crossing of the said 

 river by the side line between lots eight. and nine. 



From this camp we completed the southern part of the township and 

 on the same day that we moved camp from here to a point about half a mile 

 above the head of the first rapids of the Sandy portage, we continued the 

 side line between lots eight and nine northwards to the northern crossing of 

 the river by this line. 



From this camp the sub-division of the township was completed on the 

 23rd of October, excepting the traverse of the river which was left until 

 the survey of the township of Godfrey was completed in December, when 

 the traverse was made on the ice and completed on the 23rd December last. 



With the exception of the southwestern part through which runs a low 

 ridge of sand, gravel and sandy-loam, this township consists of good agri- 

 cultural soil of clay loam.
