 supplies, his canoes, nor even the lives of his party, can under present conditions, 

 be considered safe by the surveyor in the prospected area. 



We have the honor to be.

SiR^ — I have the honor to submit the following report on the survey of Town- 

 ship outlines in the Temagami Forest Reserve, District of Sudbury, performed by 

 me, under instructions from your Department, dated June 8th, 1911. 



I commenced the survey by running a meridian due south astronomically 

 eighteen miles, from a point ten chains west astronomically from the south-west 

 angle of the Township of Cabot, and from the 6th, 12th and 18th mile posts on this 

 meridian I ran east astronomically to intersect a meridian run by Ontario Land 

 Surveyors De Merest and StuU in 1910, and west astronomically six miles. Having 

 completed this part of the work I produced the south boundary of the Township 

 of Cabot to a point six miles and ten chains west astronomically from the south- 

 west angle of the above township, from which point I ran a meridian north astrono- 

 mically twelve miles three chains and fifty-three links to a base line run by Ontario 

 Land Surveyor H, J. Beatty this season, and south astronomically seventeen miles 

 seventy-four chains and ninety links to intersect the south boundary of the Town- 

 ship of Garvey previously run by me. I then produced the south boundary of the 

 Township of Burrows west astronomically to intersect my meridian, thus complet- 

 ing the work. 



All lines in connection with the above survey were well opened out, blazed, 

 chained and posted. At each of the angles of the various townships, iron posts, one 

 and one-half inches in diameter, three feet long and painted red, were planted — 

 on these posts the names facing the respective townships, were cut with a cold 

 chizel. On the meridian lines durable wooden posts six inches square were planted 

 at the end of each mile with the number of miles said posts are distant north of 

 the south-east or south-west angle of the adjacent townships, cut on the south side 

 with a scribing iron. Durable posts four inches square and similarly marked with 

 the half mile points were also planted on all lines running east and west, durable
