Of the progress Of surveys being made in his

tered into contracts with Deputy Surveyors to

Nebraska at the distance Of sixty miles west
Of the initial point on the Missouri river; also,
to survey four correction parallels from tho
meridian south of the base at thirty miles apart,
aud running east to the intersection Of the
Missouri river and the western boundary of
the State Of Missouri; also, to survey seven
correction parallels from the guide meridian
north Of the base liRe at twenty-four miles
apart, and running east to the Missouri river.
These preliminary lines being requisite for
the opening of several districts of country be
tween the PARALLELS above mentioned to be run
into townships or exterior lines, and for sub.
dividing them into sections. This is to be car.
ried on with diligence and dispatch, in order to
reach tho several cession lands By Iowas, Del.
awares, the united tribes of Peorias and Kas-
kaskias, and Piankeshaws and Weas, which
are to be sectioned in advance Of other lands
