88 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



This township is bounded on the west by the township of Steele, on the 

 south by the township of Berry, and on the east and north sides by the 

 unsurve;^ed lands of the Crown. I found that the west boundary of my town- 

 ship had been run this season by O.L.S., Herbert Beatty, and according to 

 his chainage, the southwest corner of this township .would be where the line 

 between concessions A and B of the township of Steele intersected his east 

 boundary. 



I therefore started from his post between these concessions and estab- 

 lished my south boundary by running a chord of latitude due east astrono- 

 mically a distance of six miles, planting posts every forty chains and mark- 

 ing them for the respective lots. 



From the easterly end of this chord I ran a line due north astronomically 

 to intersection with base lines run by O.L.S. Patten last year, which forms 

 the north boundary of this township. 



The subdivision of the township was then performed in accordance with 

 instructions. 



The side lines between lots two and three, four and five, six and seven, 

 (Sight and nine, and between ten and eleven were run due north astrono- 

 mically from the posts planted on the south boundary, and the concession 

 lines were run east and west astronomically as the work progressed with a 

 depth of eighty chains as near as practicable. 



The result being set forth in detail in the field notes. All posts were 

 made from the most durable wood available, marked with a marking iron 

 and firmly planted in the ground. 



At the southwest corner I planted an iron bar one and seven-eighths 

 inches in diameter, and as this is also the northwest corner of the township 

 of Berry, I marked it "Con. 1" on the northside, "Bonis" on the northeast, 

 "XII." on the east, "Berry" on the southeast, and "Con YI." on the south 

 side. I also planted a bar one and seven-eigths inches in diameter at the 

 southeast corner of the township, and it being the northeast corner of the 

 township of Berry, I marked it "Con. YI." on the south side. "Berry" on 

 southwest, "I." on west, "Bonis" on northwest and "Con. 1" at north side, 

 and a similar bar at the northeast corner of the township marked "Con. YI." 

 on south side, "Bonis" on southwest and "I." on the west side, and at the 

 northwest corner I planted another marked "Con. YI." on south, "Bonis" 

 on southeast, and "XII." on east side. 



I planted iron bars one and one-quarter inches in diameter at the fol- 

 lowing places; on the line between lots six and seven at its intersection with 

 the south boundary marked "YI." on east, "Con. I." on north, "YII." on 

 west, and "Con. YI." on south side: at its intersection with line between 

 concessions three and four, marked "Con. III." on south, "YI." on east, 

 "Con. lY." on north and "YII." on west side; and at its intersection with 

 the north boundary marked "Con. YI." on south, "YI." on east, and "YII." 

 on west side ; on the line between concessions three and four at its inter- 

 section with the east boundary marked "Con. III." on south, "I." on west 

 and "Con. lY." on north side; and at its intersection with west boundary 

 marked "Con. III." on south, "XII." on east, and "Con. lY." on north 

 side. 



Observations for azimuth were frequently taken to check bearings of lines, 

 the magnetic variation being about nine and one-half degrees west of the 

 astronomic north. 



The National Transcontinental Railway now under construction runs 

 through this township, crossing the east boundarv in concession two and the
