Appendix No. 25. 



Sdkvey of thb Southeely Eight Concessions of the Township of Hanlan, 



District of Algoma. 



North Bay, Ont, December 10th, 1912. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of the 

 southerly eight concessions of the Township of Hanlan, in the District of Algoma, 

 performed under instructions from your Department, bearing date of June 5th, 

 1912. 



The survey was commenced at an iron post planted by O.L.S. Speight to mark 

 the corner between the Townships of Hanlan, Casgrain, Kendall and. Way. This 

 is the south-east angle of the Township of Hanlan, and from this point the south 

 boundary was run west astronomically a distance of nine miles to its intersection 

 with the west boundary of the Township run by O.L.S. Speight, this point being 

 31 links south of the iron post planted by O.L.S. Speight to mark the south-west 

 angle of the Township of Hanlan. 



Posts were planted according' to instructions, and the lines were run in the 

 centre of the road allowances in every case except one. In this one case the lot 

 line between Lots 6 and 7 was run on the easterly limit of the road allowance. 



Iron posts were planted at the following points: — 



1. At the intersection of the northerly limit of the road allowance along the 

 National Transcontinental Railway with the side line between Lots 12 and 13, 

 Concession 1, and marked " E " on the four sides. 



2. At the north-west angle of Lot 28, Concession 6, and marked " E " on the 

 north and west faces, Lot 28 on the east face, and Concession 6 on the south face. 



3. At the intersection of the side line between Lots 12 and 13 with the line 

 between Concessions 6 and 7, and marked " E " on four sides. 



4. At the north east angle of Lot 1, Concession 6, and marked " E '' on the 

 east and north faces, Concession 6 of the south face and Lot 1 on the west face. 



5. The iron posts planted by O.L.S. Speight at the south-east and south-west 

 angles of the Township were marked " R " on all sides. 



On the 20th of August I had the misfortune to have a piece of wood pierce 

 my wrist; and on account of blood poisoning setting in, necessitated my coming 

 out to North Bay. After my return to the survey on the 7th of September my 

 wrist gave me considerable trouble and I had to be in Hearst every few days to 

 get medical attention. On my return to North Bay on the 26th of October, it was 

 necessary for me to go to Toronto and have an operation performed on my wrist 

 and a large piece of wood extracted, which kept me under the doctor's care for 

 over a month. Hence the delaj^ in completion of survey and filing of .notes. 

 Eain also retarded the progress of the work, and owing to so many days' rain 

 astronomical observations were few, but were taken whenever possible. 



General Features. 



The National Transcontinental Eailway crosses Lots 13 to 28 in the south- 

 westerly portion of the Township. 



Evidence of a fire having been over the entire country about 75 years ago were 

 seen every day. 



The country in the southerly part of the Township is very level, but it becomes 

 more or less hilly at the northerly part of the survey.
