The Surveyors on twenty-five
Yard Creek.

BOHEMIAN, NJ. T., June I'd, ~
To THE EDITOR OF AvANT COURIER:
! Several people have lately made complaint
to me in regard to last seasons surveys on
Twenty-Five Yard creek, and l have heard
certain parties express considerable feeling
| III tile matter. Now. had nothing to do
with those surveys and have not examined
them. so that have no personal interest in
the matter. But the general nature of the
complaints lead ME to think that they are not
Justified by the facts in the case. People say
we ride around on the surveyed land for
hours without being able to find corner,
and II we DO find one at last, 1t is nothing but
little stone with few scratches on it,
From this their inference is that many of the
corners have not been set at all, and those
! found, they think are not established Accord
ing to law. The instructions from the Gener-
al Land Office to tile Surveyor Generals and
through them to their Deputies are very
plain in in the case. After describing the
manner Of establishing standard and town.
ship corners, which are now elaborate, they
60 on to state that, sin all other cases single
marked stone is sufficient" No mound,
trench or pits are required. while the position
OF the corner in the townships is shown bv
/
and East boundaries. There may he diver
sity OF opinion in regard to the wisdom Of
these Instructions; but Deputy Surveyor
has enough to do in acting up to them With
out going beyond them. 1t is moreover the
universal experience of surveyors, that these
stone corners, difficult as they are to find,
are by far the most preferable and lasting
corners that can be established. On cattle
range corner established by post, IN ound
or pit is almost invariably destroyed: after
year Or two it is often difficult to identify it.
"A stone cc-:.cr, on tl,e contrary, when prop
erly set into the ground. lasts forever and can
always be readily found 10y the surveyor at
least. When many stones are protruding
from the ground, one may OF coiirsc, easily
ride or walk oyer the ground for hours with
out stumbling over 4 marked stone, and
mans inability to find his corner or to ex-
plain the marks when found. may put him
to temp )rary trouble and expense; but such
corner stone can always be found by going
about it in the proper manner, While post
corners. readily found ut first, are often SO
completely obliterated that even the surveyor
is obliged to re-establish them by new meas
urcment. Yours Respectfully,
PETER KOCH,
