northerly to the point for the northwest corner of section nineteen
(19), township twelve (12) south, range fourteen (14) east; thence
easterly along the unsurveyed section lines to the point for the
northeast corner of section twenty-one (21), said township; thence
northerly along the unsurveyed section lines to the point for the
northwest corner of section three (3), said township; thence easterly to
