Survey op Township Outlines in the Poecupinb Mining Division, 

 Temagami Foeest Reserve. 



Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., August 9th, 1910. 



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

 certain township outlines in the Porcupine Mining Division, in the Temagami 

 Forest Eeserve, made by me under instructions from your department, dated 

 April 28th, 1910. The survey was commenced early in May and carried on as 

 rapidly as circumstances would permit, and completed early in July 



Our first meridian line was run due south astronomically 24 miles from the 

 18th mile post on 0. L. S. Niven^s first base line. 



Our second meridian line was run south 6 minutes west astronomically 11 

 laiies and 79 chains ; thence siouth 6 minutes east astronomically 12 miles, 2 chains 

 and 90 links. 



Our first base line was run from a point on our first meridian line 6 miles 

 south of 0. L. S. Niven's first base line, due west astronomically 6 miles, 1 chain 

 and 80 links, to our second meridian line, and due east astronomically from the 

 said point 5 miles, 79 chains and 20 links to 0. L. S. Watson's meridian line. 



Our second base line was run from a point on our first meridian line 12 miles 

 south of 0. L. S. Niven's first base line, due west astronomically 6 miles, 3 chains 

 and 62 links, and due east astronomically 6 miles, 1 chain and 58 links. 



Our third base line was run from a point on our first meridian line 18 miles 

 south of 0. L. S. Niven's first base line, due west astronomically 6 miles and 70 

 links, and due east from the said point 6 miles, 2 chains and 37 links. 



Our fourth base line was run from a point on our first meridian line 24 miles 

 south of 0. L. S. Niven's first base line, due west astronomically 5 miles, 78 chains 

 and 10 links, and due east astronomically from the said point 6 miles, 3 chains and 

 16 links. 



At the south-east corner of the Township of Ogden, we intersected 0. L. S. 

 Watson's westerly meridian line 95 links north of his iron corner post. At the 

 south-east corner of the Township of Price we intersected 0. L. S. Watson's wes- 

 terly meridian line 6 miles, 1 chain and 50 links east of our first meridian line 

 measured along the base line. 0. L. S. Watson's line had not been chained. 



At the south-east corners of the Townships of Fripp and Musgrove we cut our 

 line beyond our corner posts unblazed as 0. L. S. Watson's meridian line, which 

 forms the westerly limits of these townships, had not yet been run. 



We encountered none of 0. L. S. Beatty's lines. 



Physical Features. 



In general, the surface of the country west of the Mattagami Eiver is level 

 and swampy, and to the east it is very rough and rocky. 



East of our first meridian line all the exposures of rock are schist, and west 

 of this line what few exposures we met with are granite ; none of the mining claims 

 in the territory traversed have been surveyed. In fact, only on the east side of the 

 Grassy River did we intersect any lines.
