Sir,

Appendix No. 36. 

 Survey of the Tovtnship of Mathieu, District of Rainy River. 



Fort Frances, Ont., Dec. 27th, 1912. 



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

 Township of Mathieu, in the District of Rainy River, performed under instructions 

 from your Department, dated the twenty-ninth day of May, A.D. nineteen hundred 

 and twelve. 



This township is bounded on the south by the Township of Dewart, on the west 

 by the township of Mbrson, on the north by Sabaskong Bay of the Lake of the 

 Woods, and on the east by unsurveyed lands. 



I commenced work on the twenty-seventh day of July, having moved in by boat

 R. XXIV, XXV. E., so that there is no jog between Morson and Dewart as shown 

 in field notes. I commenced at these fouf posts marking the iron post marked 

 Morson with the name '' Mathieu " on the east and I then laid out the second and 

 other concessions and the side lines, west and north, astronomically, as directed in 

 the instructions as nearly as possible. 



The iron posts already planted at the south-east and the north-east angles of 

 the Township of Morson were marked on their correct sides " Mathieu." The iron 

 post at the north-east angle of the Township of Dewart was also marked on its cor- 

 rect side. Other iron posts, supplied by your Department, were planted, properly 

 marked, as directed, alongside wooden posts, one at the intersection of the south 

 boundary with the line between lots six and seven, one at the intersection of the
