LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, . 

'Washington, D. (7., June 18, 1901.

SIR: We have the honor to transmit herewith, in form for publica-, 

tion, the results of the 'spirit leveling executed by the United States 

Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1900-1901.'

These results were arranged for publication by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, 

assistant topographer.

Very respectfully, H. M. WILSON,

Geographer in charge of Atlantic Section.

. RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING, FISCAL YEAR 1900-01.

By H. M. WILSON, J. H. RENSHAWE, E. M. DOUGLAS, and R. U. GOODE.

INTKODTJCT J ON.

During the field season careful spirit leveling was continued in connection with, the regular topographic work on the same general plan 

followed in the four preceding seasons, as described in the appendix 

to the Eighteenth Annual Report of the Director, Pt. I, 1896-97, 

pages 225-235.

The practice of stamping an initial datum letter or name on the 

bench marks has been continued, and in cases where the datum has 

been changed on account of better determination of the reference to 

sea level, such changes are noted in the list of elevations which 

follows.

In the following list only those elevations are published which have 

been adjusted and checked in closed circuits. Much work has been 

done in addition to the list here published, especially in mountainous 

regions, which it is thought inadvisable to publish at this time on 

account of the many lines which are left unchecked at the end of the 

field season, and also on account of errors of closure in a few circuits 

in excess of the limiting error "E," allowed by the formula

E=0.05 ^distance in miles.

These lines in most cases will be rerun to bring them within the 

required limits.

The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has made an elaborate general adjustment of a great net of precise leveling in the United 

States, by the method of "least squares," and the result and full 

description of this will be found in their Report for 1898-99, Appendix 

No. 8. This level net involves the results of leveling executed by the 

following organization, weighted as shown in the following extract 

from that appendix, and extends over the Atlantic and Central sections of topography in a belt of closed circuits from mean sea level in 

the Gulf of Mexico, near New Orleans, northward to the Great Lakes, 

and eastward to mean sea level in the Atlantic Ocean at Boston, Sandy 

Bull. 185 01 2 l?
18 SPIEIT LEVELING. [BULL. 185.

Hook, and Old Point Comfort. Mean Gulf level is considered to be 

the same elevation as mean sea level.

This adjusted precise-level net is considered to be the most reliable 

source of reference to mean sea level for the various local level lines 

which may touch upon it, until a sufficient number of additional precise level circuits are formed by future work to make necessary another 

general adjustment and a closer approximation to mean sea level.'

ATLANTIC SECTION OF TOPOGRAPHY.

In this section, under the direction of Mr. H. M. Wilson, geographer 

iu charge, spirit leveling was continued for the control of the regular 

topographic work executed during the year in various localities as 

listed below. In addition, leveling was carried on in the following 

localities during the year 1900; but as the field work in these localities is not yet completed, or corrections are pending, the results will 

not be published until later:

New York Oneida, Lewis, Jefferson, Broome, Cortland, Chenaugo. 

Tioga, Tompkins, Madison, Steuben, Washington, Saratoga, and Fulton counties.

Pennsylvania Chester County.

West Virginia Wayne County.

Ohio Lawrence County.

Kentucky Greenup, Boyd, Carter, Lawrence, and Elliott counties.

North Carolina Yancey, Madison, Buncombe, McDowell, Mitchell, 

Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Lincoln, and Gaston counties.

South Carolina York, Chester, Fairneld, and Richmond counties.

Tennessee Davidson and Franklin counties.

Georgia Whitfield, Murray, Gilmer, Fannin, Union, Towns, Habersham, White, and Lumpkin counties.
WILSON ETAL.] MAINE. 19

MAINE.

PENOBSCOT, WALDO, AND HANCOCK COUNTIES. 

BUCKSPOET, BANGOE, AND ORONO QUADEANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are based on an 

aluminum tablet placed in the post-office and custom-house building 

at Bangor, Me., the elevation of which is accepted as 23.725 feet above 

mean sea level. This elevation is derived from tidal observations on 

the Penobscot River at Bucksport, Me., during two lunar months, 

August and September, 1899, and one adjusted level circuit between 

Bucksport and Bangor, over which a closure error of 0.255 feet was 

distributed.

The leveling in the Bucksport quadrangle was executed in 1899 

under the direction of Mr. E. B. Clark, topographer, by Messrs.

Robert Coe and J. W. Edgerly, levelnien; in the Bangor quadrangle

in 1900 under the direction of Mr. E. B. Clark, topographer, by J. W. 

Edgerly, levehnan; and in the Orono quadrangle in 1900 under the 

direction of Mr. W. H. Lovell, topographer, by J. W. Edgerly, 

levelman. °

All bench marks dependent on this datum are stamped with the 

letters "BANGOR" in addition to their figures of elevation.

FRANKLIN COUNTY. 

PRECISE LEVELING.

The elevations published in the following list are based on a primary bench mark of the Deep Waterways Commission at Fort Covington, Franklin County, a 2-inch square cut on east abutment of the 

Grand Trunk Railroad bridge over Salmon River, 1 foot from the 

south edge and 1 foot from the east edge. The elevation of this is 

accepted as 166.355 feet, above mean sea level. This elevation 

is derived by lowering that given by the Deep Waterways Commission 

for this bench mark 1.115 feet, this being the amount by which the 

elevation of a precise bench mark of that commission at Hogansburg, 

Franklin County, has been lowered, as published by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey in its report for 1898-99, Appendix No. 8, 

page 543. This bench mark at Hogansburg is the center of a punch 

mark in a one-fourth-inch brass bolt cemented into the northeast face 

of the east buttress of the main tower of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 

near mark U.S.P., and its elevation is accepted at 178.198 feet above 

mean sea level.

This precise line being based on Fort Covington and not adjusted 

for closure error at'Tupper Lake Junction gives a new value for the 

bench mark at the latter place as here published 0.076 greater than 

the published elevation of same in the Twenty-first Annual Report of 

the Director of this Survey, page 393. This bench mark is an aluminum tablet set in foundation of water tank of the New York Central 

Railroad, Adirondack Division, stamped "1555 ALBANY."

The leveling was executed by Mr. C. H; Semper, levelman in charge, 

under the immediate supervision of Mr. H. M. Wilson, geographer.

All bench marks are referred to the gristmill bench mark at Albany, 

the elevation of which is accepted as 13.577 feet above mean sea level, 

and are stamped with the letters "ALBANY" in addition to their 

figures of elevation and year.

WASHINGTON AND SARATOGA COUNTIES. 

SCHUYLERVILLE QUADRANGLE.

The elevations published in the following list are based on an 

aluminum tablet, set in stone of pilaster at left side of the front 

entrance of the high school building at Fort Edward, N. Y., and 

marked "145 A." This bench mark was touched upon by the Deep 

Waterways Commission wye and water leveling between the gristmill bench mark near Albany and permanent bench mark; "P"of 

their precise line at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Hogansburg, via 

Lake Champlain; and the elevation is derived by the adjustment of 

this line to the corrected elevations of these bench marks as determined 

by the latest adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, in 1900, and published in report of that bureau for 1S98-99, 

Appendix No. 8, and is accepted as 144.386 feet above mean sea level. 

The leveling was originally based upon bench marks established by 

the Hudson River and Lake Champlain Canal, and as a result the 

markings are generally 1 foot too high.

The leveling was executed under the general direction of Mr. W. H. 

Lovell, topographer, by Mr. Clark Brown, levelman, in 1898.

All bench marks are referred to the Gristmill bench mark near 

Albany and are stamped by the letter "A" in addition to their figures 

of elevation.

BERNE QUADRANGLE.

The elevations published in the following list are based on a bronze 

tablet set on the north end of east abutment of bridge at Duanesburg, marked "681 ALBANY 1898." The elevation of this bench 

mark is derived by precise leveling of the United States Geological 

Survey and, as corrected by the latest adjustment of the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey, is accepted as 680.246 feet above mean 

sea level. (See United States Coast Survey Report for 1898-99, 

Appendix 8, p. 543.)
WILSON ET AL. ] NEW YORK. 33

The leveling was executed in the field season of 1899 under the 

direction of Mr. A. W. Walker, topographer, by Mr. Seth Van Loan, 

levelman, and in 1900 under the direction of Mr. Glenn S. Smith, 

topographer, by Mr. J. W. Hodges, levelman.

All bench marks are referred to the Gristmill bench mark at Albanjr, 

N. Y., the elevation of which is accepted as 13.577 feet above mean 

sea level, and are marked with the letters "ALBANY" in. addition to 

their figures of elevation.

The elevations published in the following lists are based on. and 

adjusted between two bench marks. One is an aluminum tablet set 

in the front face of the city hall in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., stamped 

"173 ALBANY 1899," the elevation of which is accepted as 172.613 

feet above mean sea level, and the other a bronze tablet at the northwest corner of the stone foundation of Union schoolhouse at Cobleskill, 

N. Y., stamped "930 A," the elevation of which is accepted as 926.865 

feet above mean sea level. The elevation of the Poughkeepsie bench 

mark depends directly upon that of a precise bench mark of the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at the west abutment of the 

Poughkeepsie bridge, and the elevation of the Cobleskill bench mark, 

a precise bench mark of this survey, is taken as corrected by the United 

States Coast and Geodetic Survey. (See Report for 1898-09, Appendix 

No. 8, p. 543).

The leveling was executed under the direction of Mr. C. C. Bassett, 

topographer, by Messrs. George Baily and W. S. D. Moore, le'velmen.

All bench marks are referred to the Gristmill bench mark near 

Albany, the elevation of which is accepted as 13.577 feet above mean 

sea level, and are marked by the letters "ALBANY" in addition to 

their figures of elevation.

ULSTER AND ORANGE COUNTIES.

NEWBURG QUADRANGLE. 

The elevations published in the following list are based on an

aluminum tablet set in the front face of the city hall, in Poughkeepsie,

and marked "173 ALBANY 1899." The height of this is derived 

from a bench mark established in Poughkeepsie by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey, the elevation of which, as corrected in 

accordance with their adjustment of 1900, is accepted as 42.956 feet 

above mean sea level. Dependent on this, the datum tablet of this 

survey in Poughkeepsie is accepted as being 172.613 feet above mean 

sea level.

The leveling was executed under the direction of Mr. C. C. Bassett, 

topographer. A portion is republished of levels of Mr. Seth Van 

Loan, levelman, run in 1899, and published in the Appendix to the 

Twenty-first Annual Report of the Director of this Bureau, on pages 

405,406, and 407. They are republished here because of an error of 0.97 

foot, by which the figures previously published exceed the corrected 

elevations given herewith. These figures include a gross error of 1 

foot in leveling from Poughkeepsie, via Highlands, along West Shore 

Railroad to Newburg (pages 404 to 405 of that report), less a correction
WILSON ETAL.] NEW YORK. 41

of 0.030 foot,, by which the present accepted elevations of the Poughkeepsie bench marks exceed their previously accepted values. The 

bench marks are therefore marked about 1 foot higher than their 

present accepted elevations. The remainder of the elevations listed 

below are the result of leveling of Mr. George Baily, levelman, during 

the season of 1900.

All benchmarks dependent on this datum are referred to the Gristmill bench mark at Albany, the elevation of which is accepted as 

13.577 feet above mean sea level, and are marked with the letters 

"ALBANY" in addition to the figures of elevation.

QUADRANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are derived by connection with two lines of precise leveling carried to Green bush, N. Y., 

near Albany, from mean sea level at New York and Boston and 

adjusted to the corrected mean elevation of the Green bush "Gristmill" bench mark as determined by the latest adjustment of the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Part of this list consists 

of levels adjusted between Poughkeepsie and Chatham, and the bench 

marks listed between Poughkeepsie and Millerton, via Clinton Corners and Dover Plains, are republished, from the Appendix to the 

Twenty-first Annual Report of the .Director of this Bureau, following 

the title on page 401, with corrected elevations resulting from this

adjustment. The remainder of the list consists of levels adjusted 

Detween Nlverville and Hudson. The descriptions and elevations of 

the connecting points are given in the body of the list.

The leveling was executed under the general direction of Mr. C. C. 

Bassett, topographer, in 1899 and 1900, the portion which is here 

republished from the last report being the result of leveling by Mr. 

Seth Van Loan, levelman, in 1899, the remainder being the work of 

Mr. George Baily, levelman, in 1900.

All bench marks are referred to the Gristmill bench mark near 

Albany, the elevation of which is accepted as 13.577 feet above mean 

sea level, and are marked by the letters "ALBANY" in addition to 

their figures of elevation.

JEFFEESON AND ST. LAWRENCE COUNTIES. 

CLAYTON, THERESA, AND ALEXANDRIA BAY QUADRANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are based upon permanent bench marks established in the course of precise leveiings by 

the Deep Waterways Commission at Clayton, Fishers Landing, Alexandria Bay, and Chippeway village, in the vicinity of Cape Vincent, 

N. Y. The accepted elevations of these are derived by the latest 

adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, made in 

1900 (see Appendix No. 8, report for 1898-99 of that Bureau).

The leveling was executed under the general direction of Mr. W. H. 

Lovell, topographer, by Mr. William Kelley, levelman, in 1900.

All bench marks are referred to the Deep Waterways Commission's 

bench marks at Cape Vincent, which are published in the Coast Survey report, the elevations there given being accepted, aud they are 

stamped with the letters "CAPE VINCENT" in addition to their figures of elevation. The latter are generally 1 foot lower than the values 

stamped upon the bench marks, because of a subsequent adjustment, 

as explained under precise leveling (p. 27).

ERRATA. IN PREVIOUS REPORTS.

A field error occurred in the levels published, in the Appendix to 

the Twenty-first Annual Report, page 442, between West Brownsville Junction and Jacob Perry. The elevations of these terminal 

points are corrected in this report.

In addition to above the following corrections are to be applied, 

which are derived from the latest adjustment of the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey:

The elevations published in the following list are based on and 

adjusted, between two bench marks established in the course of precise leveling by the United States Geological Survey. One is a 

bronze tablet set in front face of northwest corner of public school, 

corner of McKain and Vine streets, Kittanning, marked "803 PITTSBURG 1899," and the other is a bronze tablet set in the north abutment, west side of iron bridge, 2 miles south of Riinerton, marked 

"820 PITTSBURG 1899." The elevations of these, as derived by the 

latest adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, in 

1900, are accepted as 803.870 feet above mean sea level for Kittanning 

and 821.148 feet for Rirnerton.

The leveling was executed under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, 

topographer, and by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, levelman, in 1900.

All bench marks are referred to an aluminum tablet set in foundation of Seventh Avenue Hotel at Pittsburg, marked " 738 PITTSBURG 1899," the elevation of which is accepted as 738.718 feet above

The elevations published in the following list are based upon various bench marks of the Pennsylvania Railroad on lines from West 

Penn Junction, via Blairsville intersection, to Braddock, the elevations of which are derived by applying various corrections to those 

listed in their publication of May 1, 1899, in conformity with the 

latest adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, 

in 1900, which makes the elevation as accepted for Blairsville intersection, bench mark Pennsylvania Railroad No. 47, a square cut on 

stone monument, 25 feet south of tool house, 1,120.113 feet above mean 

sea level.

The leveling was executed under the direction of Mr. Prank Sutton, 

topographer, by Mr. J. H. Wetzel, levelman, in 1900,

.All bench marks are referred to an aluminum tablet set in foundation of Seventh Avenue Hotel at Pittsburg, marked "738 PITTSBURG 1899," the elevation of which is accepted as 738.718 feet above 

mean sea level, and are stamped with the letters " PITTSBURG " in 

addition to the figures of elevation.

BROWNSVILLE, CONNELLSVILLE, WAYNESBUEG, MASONTOWN, UNIONTOWN, AND 

MORGANTOWN QUADRANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are based on and 

adjusted between bench marks established in the course of precise 

leveling by this Bureau at Point Marion, Uniontown, West Brownsville Junction, and Baird flag station, Pennsylvania. The elevations 

of these are accepted as corrected by the latest adjustment of the 

United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. (See Report for 1898-99 

of that Bureau, Appendix No. 8.)

Elevations published in the Twenty-first Annual Report of this 

Bureau, on pages 440-443, are corrected as follows: To those listed 

in circuit from Uniontown via Farrnington and Lamont to Uniontown, 

add 0.181 foot; to those between Point Marion and Greensboro, add 

0.166 foot; in list Brownsville to Jacobs Ferry, add 0.192 foot to the 

elevation there given for the tablet at West Brownsville Junction, but 

the elevation at Jacobs Ferry is corrected by leveling of the United 

States Engineer Corps from West Brownsville Junction, raising it 

0.445 foot, and intermediate elevations are discarded.

The leveling was executed under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, 

topographer, and by Messrs. William Crennell and J. H. Wetzel, 

levelmen, in 1899, and by the latter alone in 1900.

All bench marks are referred to an aluminum tablet in the foundation of the Seventh Avenue Hotel at Pittsburg, marked "738 PITTSBURG 1899," the elevation of which is accepted as 738.718 feet 

above mean sea level, and are stamped with the letters "PITTSBURG " in addition to their figures of elevation.

The elevations published in the following list are based directly 

upon a bench mark of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey 

at Carlisle, Pa. This is marked by the letter ' ' M " cut on the base of 

the column at the west side of the jail entrance. (See p. 560, Appendix 

No. 8, on hypsometry, of their report for 1898-99, published in 1900.) 

The elevation of this bench mark is accepted as 473.234 feet above 

mean sea level.

The datum to which this leveling is referred is an aluminum tablet 

of the United States Geological Survey placed in the State library at 

Harrisburg, marked "364 HARRISBURG, 1899," the elevation of 

which is accepted as 363.961 feet above mean sea level, as corrected 

by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1900. This elevation is 0.148 feet higher than the elevation accepted for this bench 

mark in the Appendix to the Twenty-first Annual Report of the

Director of this Survey, page 431.

The leveling was executed under the general direction of Mr. 

Robert D. Cummin, topographer, by Mr. F. M. Taylor, levelman:

'WERNERSVILLE AND SLATINGTON QUADRANGLES.

The following elevations are based on an aluminum tablet placed in 

front face of State library at Harrisburg, Pa. The height of tins is 

determined from mean sea level by precise levels of the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the 

United States Geological Survey, the connection having been made 

by the latter organization. The elevation of this datum is accepted 

as 363.961 feet above mean sea level. The immediate elevations on 

which the leveling reported upon herewith is based are bench marks 

of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental line 

as published in their latest adjustment, Report of 1898-99, Appendix 8.

The leveling was done under the direction of Mr. Hersey Munroe, 

topographer, by Messrs. B. E. White and Hargraves Wood, level-men.

All bench marks dependent upon this datum are marked with the 

letters "HARRISBURG" in addition to the figures of elevation.

EVERETT AND HOLLIDAYSBURG QUADRANGLES, PENNSYLVANIA; FROSTBURG 

QUADRANGLE, MARYLAND.

The elevations published in the following list are based on a copper 

bolt in the doorsill of the Pennsylvania Railroad passenger station at 

Altoona, Pa. The elevation of this, as corrected by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey in their latest adjustment, is accepted as 

1,181.373 feet above mean sea level. This is 0.173 foot greater than 

the elevation of this bench mark as given in the Pennsylvania Railroad list of elevations, published May 1,1900. The immediate elevations on which the leveling reported upon herewith is based are of 

various bench marks of the latter publication between Altoona and 

State line, which are given the same correction.

A connection is made between Stateline and a precise bench mark 

of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at Cumberland, Md., 

by primary levels of this list between Mount Savage, Md., and Stateline, and elevations listed in the Nineteenth Annual Report of the 

Director of this Survey, page 363, between Mount Savage and Cumberland. The circuits therein listed and based on the Cumberland 

bench mark are to be lowered 0.006 foot. This includes the correction 

made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey to the elevation of that bench mark of 0.005 and a correction of 0.001 made in the 

Twentieth Annual Report to the elevation of a bronze tablet at that 

place.

The leveling was executed in 1900 under the direction of Mr. A. M. 

"Walker, topographer, by Mr. B. C. Shepherd, levelman.

All bench marks set in the course of this work are referred to the 

tablet set by this Bureau at Harrisburg, Pa., and are stamped with 

the letters "HARRISBURG" in addition to their figures of elevation.

ERRATA IN PREVIOUS REPORTS.

Elevations in the vicinity of Baltimore published in preceding 

reports are corrected by various amounts by a readjustment with 

work of the past two seasons. (Full description, with corrected list 

of elevations, will be found in this report.)

The following corrections to the Twenty-first Annual Report are 

made necessary by the latest adjustment of the United States Coast 

and Geodetic Survey:

The elevations published in the following list are the result of the 

field work of the seasons of 1899-1900, and are based on an aluminum 

tablet in the city hall, Baltimore, Md., the height of which is accepted 

as 20.630 feet above mean sea level, as derived from the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey tide gauge in the city of Baltimore.

The leveling was done under the direction of Mr. W. Carvel Hall, 

topographer, by Messrs. C. H. Smith, John W. Hodges, and Hargraves 

Wood, levelmen.

All bench marks dependent on this datum are marked with the 

letters " BALTO.," referring them to the Baltimore bench mark.

MARYLAND-DELAWARE-VIRGINIA.

As result of the field work of the season of 1900, connections have 

been made between the entire group of levels from Baltimore southeastward to the lower end of the Eastern Shore with six widely distributed tide gauges of the Coast Survey. The result is a mass of 

data which has permitted the making of final adjustments of.the leveling of past and preceding years throughout this area.

Corrections to all bench marks published in previous annuals for 

leveling in this region should be made as follows:

To bench marks depending on datum tablet at Middletown, Del., 

published in the Appendix to Eighteenth Annual (p. 279), and which 

lie to the north and west of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, a constant correction of +0.640 feet must be made. 

To all of the above-named bench marks lying to the south and east of

in the city hall, Baltimore, Md., the height of which is accepted as 

20.63 feet above mean sea level, as derived from United States Coast 

and Geodetic Survey tide gage in the city of Baltimore.

The leveling was done under the direction of Mr. W. Carvel Hall, 

topographer, by Messrs. C. H. Smith, T. D. Leonard, George Baily, 

John W. Hodges, and C. H. Semper, levelers.

All bench marks dependent on this datum are marked with the

ERRATA IN PREVIOUS REPORTS.

To the elevations published in the Appendix to the Twenty-first 

Annual Report apply the following correction, which is derived by 

the latest adjustment of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, pages 472-473:

The elevations published in the following list are based on the corrected elevations of several bench marks of the Mississippi River 

Commission between North McGregor, Iowa, and Victory, Wis. The 

corrections which were applied are the result of adjustment of precise 

leveling in the United States by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, in 1900. 

See Report for 1888-99, Appendix No. 8, page 513.

The leveling was under the direction of Mr. M. Hackett, topographer, by Mr. T. Burns, levelman.

All bench marks set in the course of this work are referred to a

bench mark at Dtibuqtie, Iowa, and are marked with the letters, 

"DUBQ" in addition to the figures of elevation. The elevations 

assumed for the base bench marks in the field were approximately 1 

foot lower than as corrected by the Coast and Geodetic Survey adjustment. Therefore, the bench marks of this list are stamped in most 

cases 1 foot low.

The elevations published in the following list are based on a bench 

mark of the United States Engineer Corps (Mississippi River Commission) at Alexandria, Mo., in T. 64 N., R. 5 W., sec. 8, being an 

eyebolt in top of mooring stone at boat landing. The elevation of 

this, as corrected by the latest adjustment of the Coast and Geodetic 

Survey, is accepted as 493.369 feet above mean sea level.

The leveling was done under the direction of Mr. Paul Holman, 

topographer, by Mr. H. V. Rees, levelman.

All bench marks dependent on this datum are marked with the 

letter "A" in addition to the figures of elevation. They are stamped 

in general 1 foot too low, as the Coast and Geodetic Survey correction 

of 1.079 feet was applied subsequent to the field work.

The elevations in the following list are based upon and adjusted 

between two bench marks of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, namely, 

bench mark No. "CXIII," the center of a cross on the end of copper 

bolt leaded in the west side wall of the brick building at the corner 

of Main and Seventh streets, Seligman, Mo., owned and occupied by 

A. J. Dean, M. D., the elevation of which is accepted as 1,542.761 feet 

above mean sea level; and bench mark No. "CXXI," the center of a 

cross cut on the south side of main entrance to the Arkansas State 

University building at Fayetteville, Ark., the elevation of which is 

accepted as 1,454.079 feet above mean sea level. The connection with 

the latter is made through leveling reported upon in the Appendix to

COLORADO.

WELD, ARAPAHOE, AND BOULDER COUNTIES. 

GREELEY, LONGMONT, AND DENVER QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are based on the elevation of 

the top of lower pedestal, southeast corner of steps of Colorado State 

capitol building, at Denver, Colo. The point is marked by the letters 

U.S.R.M. cut on top of granite block. The elevation is obtained 

from the Coast and Geodetic Survey transcontinental line of levels 

and is accepted as 5,279.840 feet, as furnished by letter of July 13, 

1901, from that Bureau, correcting these elevations on line Roswell to 

Denver, which were published in the report of the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey for 1898-99, Appendix No. 8.

The leveling was done in 1897 by Thomas Winsor, levelman in 

charge, and in 1899, under the general direction of Mr. W. M. Beaman, 

topographer, by E. W. Glafcke and A. E. Franklin, levelmen.

All bench marks are stamped " DENVER," in addition to figures 

of elevation.

DENVER.

The first five of these elevations result directly from precise leveling of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, not as published in their report 

, for 1898-99, Appendix, but as corrected by letter of July 13, 1901. 

The tablets were set by the United States Geological Survey. «

BAKER, UNION, AND GRANT COUNTIES. 

SUMPTER AND BAKER ClTY QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are a continuation of those published in the Appendix to the Twenty-first Annual Report, page 564, 

being based on a bronze tablet in the astronomical pier in front yard 

of the public school in Baker City, stamped " 3433 A," the elevation of 

which was accepted as 3,432.700 feet above sea level, as derived by 

double-rodded line from Astoria.

The leveling was done partly in 1899 by Mr. W. R. Manning, under 

the direction of Mr. R. H. McKee, topographer, and partly in 1900, by 

Mr. C. L. Nelson, under the direction of Mr. L. C. Fletcher, topographer.

All bench marks depending on this datum which are stamped with 

the letters " B. C.," in addition to figures of elevation, are referred to

the old railway elevation accepted in 1898 foir the Baker City bench 

mark and are stamped about 14 feet too high, but those stamped with 

the letter "A," in addition to the figures of elevation, are referred 

to Astoria and are generally stamped correctly.

SKAGIT AND WHATCOM COUNTIES.

The elevations in the following list are based on a bench mark 

established in 1898 at Marblemount, which, in turn was based on a
206 SPIEIT LEVELING. [BULL. 185.

bench mark of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey at Tulalip. It was planned to continue these levels so as to form a connection 

with levels previously run from the east to Slate Creek Pass, but on 

account of deep snows a gap of about 8 miles was left uncompleted. 

The leveling was done by Mr. E. M. Fry, levelman in charge. All 

bench marks dependent on this datum are stamped with the letters 

"TTJL" in addition to the figures of elevation.
