72 EEPOET OF THE No. 3 



Proceeding by way of Old Wakami Siding, mileage 94, west of Cartier on the 

 Canadian Pacific Railway, I arrived on the ground the ^Yth of June and started 

 the work by running north from O.L.S. Niven's 6 mile post at the south west 

 angle of Township 70, 12 miles 73 chains and 78 links to Lake Wenebegon. . 



Coipmencing agadn at the witness post 1 chain and 10 links north of O.L.S. 

 Niven's 18th mile at the south-west angle of Township 6D, a continuous line was 

 run due east astronomically a few chains less than 30 miles between townships 

 5D and 6D, 5C amd 60, 5B and 6B, 5A and 6A, Y and Z, and intersected the 

 said O.L.S. Niven's meridian 1 chain and 62 links south of his 18 mile post at 

 S. E. angle of Z. I might say that through an oversight this line was run from the 

 above mentioned witness post instead of from the 18 mile distance at south-west 

 angle of township 6D referred to. 



From the intersection of this line which I ran east with O.L.S. Niven's meridian 

 at 1 chain, 87 links north of his 6 mile post at the south-east angle of Township 

 6D, I ran south between Townships 50 and 5D 6 miles, 1 chain, 37 links to O.L.S. 

 Watson's base line of 1909. 



From each 6 mile corner on my base line running east above referred to I ran 

 north and south to intersect at about 6 miles the said O.L.S. Niven's base line 

 on the north and O.L.S. Watson's on the south. That between Townships 6 A and 

 6B was run north to connect at about 3 miles O.L.S. Niven's 3 mile post on his 

 meridian run south from the 18 mile post on his base line. The east boundary of 

 70 was run from a point on the north side of Moule Lake calculated 1 mile east 

 from Niven's 11 mile post on his base line. 



All lines were well cut out and blazed on the side of the trees facing the line, 

 also on the side facing the direction of the line. 



All lines were run with a solar compass. 



At every mile a wooden post 6 inches square ,was firmly planted and cut 

 thereon in Roman numerals the number of miles reckoning from the east or south 

 side of the Township. 



At every township corner an iron post made of one and a quarter inch 

 iron pipe, three feet long, pointed and forged at the top was also planted 

 beside the wooden post. The numbers of the Townships were cut on both these 

 posts on the sides facing the respective townships. The wooden posts at these 

 corners were set so that the lines pass through the angles of the post. 



At every post where loose stones were convenient, a cairn was built around 

 it and a record of such cairn made in the field notes. 



Two bearing trees were marked and noted. The bearings of such are given 

 from the post to the tree. 



Wherever the end of a mile came in water, a witness poet was planted 

 on the nearest shore with the mileage and chains, plus or minus, marked thereon 

 and duly recorded in the field notes. 



Timber — Between 5D and 6D. 



The timber on line between 5D and 6D is from 6th mile to 3% miles, spruce, 

 poplar, birch and jack pine to 15 inches diameter, with some good white pine 

 scattered in pllaces. The balance of the line is old brule with small birch, 

 jack pine and spruce and occasional clumps and scattered white pine.
