the last annual report of the Secretary OF the In
terror that the initial point the Pacific and the
point of junction of the Gila with the Colorado
river had been determined, and the intervening
line about one hundred and fifty miles IN length,
run and marked by temporary monuments
Since that time'a monument of marble mas oeen
erected at the initial point, and permanent land
marks of iron have. been placed at suitable dis
tances along the line.
The initial point on the Rio Grande has also
been fixed by the commissioners at latitude $40
22h and at the date Of the last communication the
survey of the line had been made thence westward
about one hundred and nifty miles to the helghbor-
hood Of the copper mines.
The commission on our part was at first organ
ICED on a scale which experience proved TO be un-
wiedY and attended with unnecessary expense.
Orders have therefore, been issued for the reduc-
ton of the number of persons employed within
the smallest limits, consistent with the safety Of
tn sc engaged in the service, and the prompt and
efficient execution Of their important duties
Returns have been received from all the officers
engaged in taking the census in the states and ter
rtories, except California. The superintendent
