laid down in the proclamation: "Beginning at a point on the boundary line 
between New Mexico and Arizona, where it is intersected by the north line of 
township five (5) south, range twenty-one (21) west, New Mexico principle 
meridian, New Mexico; thence easterly along the township line to the northeast 
corner of township five (5) south, range sixteen (16) west; thence southerly 
along the range line between ranges fifteen (15) and sixteen (16) west, to the 
southeast corner of township eight (8) south, range sixteen (16) west; thence 
easterly along the township line to the northeast corner of township nine (9) 
south, range fifteen (15) west; thence southerly along the range line to the 
southeast corner of said township; thence easterly along the township line to 
the northeast corner of township ten (10) south, range ten (10) west; thence 
southerly along the first guide meridian west, between ranges nine (9) and ten 
(10) west, to its intersection with the third (3rd) standard parallel south, 
between townships fifteen (15) and sixteen (16) south; thence westerly along the 
said third (3rd) standard parallel south to the southwest corner of township 
fifteen (15) south, range sixteen (16) west; thence northerly along the range 
line to the northwest corner of said township; thence westerly along the 
township line to the northeast corner of township fifteen (15) south, range
