Survey certain Base and Meridian Lines^ District of Sudbury. 



Windsor, Ont., Dec. 17th, 1910. 



Sib, — In compliance with your instructione dated May 27th, 1910, I have 

 completed the survey of certain base and mejidian lines west of Lake Temagami 

 and north of the Townships of McNish and Pardo in the District of Sudbury. 



I left Windsor on the 1.20 a.m. Canadian Pacific Eailway train, July 19th, 

 and arrived in Toronto at 8.30 a.m., where I found that owing to a strike on the 

 Grand Trunk, trains were not running between Toronto and North Bay, so I had 

 to get our tickets changed and proceed via Canadian Pacific Railway to Sudbury, 

 thence to Xorth Bay where I arrived about 10.30 a.m., July 20th, and found that 

 the men I had engaged from Sturgeon Falls, had gone back home on learning that 

 the Grand Trunk trains were not running, so I had to drop off, telegraph to 

 Sturgeon Falls and wait until the following morning before I could proceed north. 



I left Xorth Bay at 12.45 p.m. on July 21st, and proceeded to Temagami 

 Station where I found the boat waiting, so I arrived at Temagami Inn with 

 eleven men and my supplies about 6 p.m. the same day. That evening I engaged 

 •a man at Bear Island, who knew the canoe routes and portages, and arranged with 

 the Steamboat Company to take the party and supplies to Skunk Lake Portage the 

 following morning. I got in to Lake Manitopopawgi on the evening of July 23rd, 

 where I camped and made preparations to commence my survey. On Monday the 

 25th, I located the north boundary of the Township of McXish and commenced my 

 work proper on Tuesday, July 26th. 



I commenced my survey at a 11/4 iiich iron post, planted beside a 6 inch pine 

 post in a cairn of stones, marked "XXVI" 1 Con. "VI" McXish, on southwest 

 side; "XVIIP 1 Con. "VI" Pardo, on southeast side; "XIX" on east side and 

 " XXVII " on west side. Thence I ran the second meridian due north six miles. 

 From the 6th mile post on the second meridian I ran the first base line east 6 M. 

 2.85 chains to the west shore of Lake Temagami. I then returned to the second 

 meridian and continued north 12 miles numbering the posts on the south side 

 from 1 to 6 between the first and second base lines, and from 1 to 6 north of the 

 second base line. I then returned to the second base line which I ran west from 

 the 6th mile post on the second meridian, numbering the posts on the east side. 

 T then started and ran the second base line east to Lake Temagami, numbering 

 the posts on the west side from 1 to 6 between the second and third meridians and 

 1 to 2 M. -f- 26.50 chains between the third meridian and the lake. I then ran 

 the third meridian north 6 miles numbering the posts on the south side. I then 

 returned to the first base line and ran west from the 6th mile post on the second 

 meridian to the east boundary of the Township of McCarthy which I intersected 

 at 3.54 chains south of the northeast corner. From the northeast corner of the 

 Township of McCarthy I ran the first meridian north intersecting my second base 

 line at 6 M. — 5.1.2 chains, from the northeast corner of the Township of McCarthy 

 and 6 M. -j- 4.14 chains west of the second meridian. From the second base line 

 I continued my first meridian north 12 M. 10 chains to the northeast corner of the 

 Township of Seagram, numbering the posts from 1 M. to 6 M. between the second 

 and third base lines and from 1 M. to 6 M. + 10 chains along the east boundary 

 of Seagram. I then ran west along the north boundary of Seagram until I inter- 

 sected the production of the west boundary of Seagram at 7 M. — 7.63 chains and
