Aj^endix No. 37. 

 Township of Eilber, District of Algoma. 



GuELPH, Ont., March Tth, 1908. 



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

 the township of Eilber, in the District of Algoma made under instructions 

 from your Department dated May 6th, 1907. 



This township lies north of the township of Barker. 



The Missanabie River enters this township near the southwest corner 

 of lot twenty-eight in the third concession and flows northerly through the 

 western part of the township and crosses the north boundary between lots 

 twenty-six and twenty-seven. The river averages about eight chains in 

 width and in general is not very deep, but flows with a good current. 



There are no falls on the river within the township and the only serious 

 obstruction to canoe navigation is a short rapids in lot twenty-five, concession 

 seven, in which there is a descent of five feet, necessitating a short portage 

 over the rocks in ordinary water or on the right bank in high water. This 

 is known as "Rocky Island Portage." 



The township was sub-divided under the new system, a road allowance 

 half a chain wide being left on each side of the outlines, and a road allow- 

 ance one chain wide between alternate concessions, and a side road allowance 

 between lots six and seven, twelve and thirteen, eighteen and nineteen and 

 twenty-four and twenty-five. 



The survey lines were run in the centres of the road allowances, wooden 

 posts were planted on the concession lines at each lot corner, a post being 

 placed on the centre line and one on the north side and one on the south 

 side of the road allowance, the three posts in each case bing marked with the 

 numbers of the lots on the east and west sides. The centre post was also 

 marked "R" on the north and south sides, the posts on the sides of the road 

 allowance were also marked *'R" on the sides next the road and with the 

 number of the concession on the other side. 



At a side road a post was planted at the intersection of the lines and 

 marked "R^' on each of its four sides. A post was also planted on each of the 

 four lot corners and marked "R" on the two sides next to the roads and with 

 the lot number on the east or west side and the concession number on the north 

 or south side. No posts were planted on the side roads at the blind lines. 



There is an iron post one and seven-eighths inches in diameter beside 

 the wooden post at each corner of the township, marked "Eilber" on the 

 sides towards the township. An iron post one and one-quarter inches in 

 diameter was placed beside the wooden post on the south boundary at the 

 line between lots twelve and thirteen, marked "R" on four sides, "Lot 

 XII." on the east side, "Lot XIII." on the west side, "Con, I" on the north 

 side. A similar iron post was also planted beside the wooden post at each 

 of the following points, viz., on the east boundary at the line between con- 

 cessions six and seven and marked "R" on four sides, "Lot I." on the west 

 side, "Con. VI." on the south side, "Con. VII." on the north side. 



At the intersection of the line between concession six and seven with the 

 side line between lots twelve and thirteen and marked "R" on four sides, 

 "Lot XII." on the east side, "Lot XIII." on the west side, "Con. VI." on 

 the south side, "Con. VII." on the north side. 



On the concession line between concessions six and seven on front of lot 

 twenty-eight, one chain east from the shore of the lake and marked "Lot
