1912-13 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS, FORESTS AND MINES. 51 



One half of the party ran north on this line, the remainder continuing the 

 survey of the township of Mulloy. 



The north boundary of the township of Mulloy was run in conjunction with 

 the sub-division of the township. It was run a full nine miles from the south-east 

 corner of the township of Burrell, and v/as intersected by the east boundary of the 

 township of Mulloy, at eight miles, seventy-six chains and seventy-eight links. 



On 26th August a beginning was made. at the north-east corner of the town- 

 ship of Boyce, and the boundary between the townships of Bicknell and Burrell was 

 run nine miles north. It intersected the centre line of the right of way of the 

 National Transcontinental Railway at seventy-three chains and ninety-three links 

 north of the north-east corner of the towship of Boyce. 



The north boundary of the township of Burrell was then run nine miles east 

 and was intersected by the east boundary of the township of Burrell, one chain 

 and thirty-three links from its eastern extremity, and it intersected the last men- 

 tioned boundary at eight miles, seventy-nine chains and eighty-six links. 



Returning to the north-west corner of the township of Burrell, the north 

 boundary of the township of Bicknell was run west from this point to the boundary 

 between the districts of Algoma and Thunder Bay, a distance of ten miles, sixty- 

 three chains and thirty-nine links. 



The intersection of these lines was four chains and one link south of Mile 

 Post cm., planted by A. Niven, O.L.S., in 1907. 



From the above intersection the north boundary of the township of Henderson, 

 in the District of Thunder Bay, was lun nine miles west. 



From a point on this line eight miles, seventy-eight chains and twelve links 

 west of the boundary between the Districts of Algoma and Thunder Bay, that 

 distance making allowance for the convergence of meridians, the west boundary 

 of the township of Henderson was run south to a base line run by T. B. Speight, 

 O.L.S., in 1908. 



It was intersected by this base line at nine miles one chain and fifty-Wo links, 

 and intersected the base line at nine miles exactly. It was also intersected by the 

 centre line of the right of way of the National Transcontinental Railway at three 

 miles, twenty-eight chains and thirty-nine links, south of the north-west comer 

 of the township of Henderson. 



All meridians were run due north (or south) astronomically, and the base 

 lines were run due west (or east) on nine mile chords of parallels of latitude. 

 Wooden posts of the most durable material within a reasonable distance of the 

 line, were planted at intervals of one and a half miles, and, in addition, iron posts, 

 one and seven-eighths inches in diameter, were planted alongside the wooden 

 posts, at all intersections of township boundaries, except at the south-east corner 

 of the township of Burrell, and on productions of lines beyond intersections. 



On each wooden and iron past the number of the mile it represented was 

 carefully marked on the side nearest the initial point of the line, also on the 

 wooden and iron posts situated at township ootners, the name of the township or 

 townships, was marked. 



In all cases where wooden and iron posts are planted side by side, the iron 

 post indicates the intended corner. 



All lines were well opened out and properly blazed. 



Frequent astronomic observations, records of a number of which are appended, 

 were taken for the purpose of verifying the course of the lines run. The magnetic 

 variation was frequently noted, the average declination being 4 degrees west.
