68 EEPORT OP THE No. 3 



The canoe routes shown on the plan were drawn from careful sketches made 

 while on the ground, and after ascertaining from the guides, as well as possible, 

 those which I did not s^e. 



I have the honor to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant,

Appendix No. 22. 



Survey of Township Outlines, District of Algoma. 



Thessalon, Ont., October 29, 1910. 



l5iE, — In accordance with your instructions, dated May 25th, 1910, I have 

 completed the survey of certain Township Outlines in and adjacent to the Missis- 

 saga Forest Reserve, and beg to submit the following report: 



I commenced the survey at the iron post planted by myself in 1909, at the 

 north-east corner of Township 23, Eange XII. From here I ran due north, 

 astronomically^ a distance of 12 miles, 1.60 chains, to the second baiSe line run 

 by me in 1908. At the six-mile post of this meridian line, I ran due west, 

 astronomically, a distance of 6 miles, 3.80 chains, to the meridian line run by 

 T. B. Speight, O.L.S., in 1898. Returning to the six-mile post mentioned above, 

 I ran a base line due east, astronomically, as a continuous line, a distance of 30 

 miles, 42 links, to the meridian line run by A. ISTiven, O.L.S., in 1902. This base 

 line crossed the second and first meridian lines, respectively, run by me in 1908. 

 From a point six miles east of my second meridian line of 1908, a meridian line 

 was run north, astronomically, to intersect my second base line run in 1908, and 

 south, astronomically, to my second base line, run in 1909. From a point six miles 

 east of my first meridian line of 1908 a meridian line was run both north and south 

 to intersect the second base line run by myself in 1908 and 1909, respectively. 



The meridian line run by A. Niven, O.L.S., in 1902, was produced north 

 astronomically to intersect my second base line in 1908, and this base line was 

 produced east astronomically a distance of 6 miles from the 12-mile post planted 

 in 1908, the mile posts being marked from XIII. M. to XVIII. M., so as to make 

 the numbering continuous on this line. At a point 1.51 chains east of the 

 XVIII. M. post on this line, I intersected a line run during the present season 

 flt a point 81 links north of a post marked VI. M. As my instructions contained 

 no reference to this line, and stated that I was to continue the second base line 

 of 1908, as far as the 18th mile post, I did not plant a post at this intersection, 

 ^ut recorded the details in my field note-book. 



A the end of every mile a substantial wooden post was planted and a bearing 

 tree marked wherever possible. If stones were available a mound of them was 

 placed around the post. When the end of a mile came in water, a post was planted 

 on the nearest shore and the chainage marked on the post. The posts and 

 bearing trees are all marked with a scribing iron, and all the details entered in 

 the field notes. At each township comer the post was marked with the designa- 

 tion of the township, on the side facing the township.
