IOllOWlnS interesting dccOunG OI the survey of the boundary line between Cochise, which is republished as a matter of special interest to residents of the western portion of this county. The Citizen says:
 The line commences at the corner of townships Il and 12 south, ranges Is and 19 east, ill the Redfeld canyon about 2 miles east of Go9drich's ranch on the San Pedro river. This is also the corner of Graham and Cochise counties. Starting from this point the lines run south and at 34 miles crosses the San Pedro river. The valley at this point is about half mile wide and for miles up and down is under d high state of cultivation. Leaving the valley the line runs over gently rolling grass hills, passing through Happy. valley leaving the ranch house about 19 miles in Pima county. The next four miles is over rough granite hills and then the line descends into the broad canyon, form ing the mouth of Happy valley where the. standard parallel south was inter sected. Three miles ever gently roll ing grass hills brings the line to the road from Tucson to Tres Alamos, via Mountain springs. Three miles over the same kind of grazing land one hundred feet east of the Soldiers H oles brings the line to the Southern Pacific railroad at a point 8 of mile west of Mescal siding Five miles over fine grazing country and the line is at point three fourths of mile west of Kirnear's raich hotse. Nine miles over the rough spurs form ing the vest side of the Whetstone mountains and point was reached half mile east of Bear Spring, which is near the extreme southwest end of the mountains. The line here de- scends into the vailey between the Whctstones ahhd the Mustangs and crosses the Mustangs at their east end where the mountain is only one mile wide and at one mile from the Babat omari valley the line passes within about 150 feet of the eastern line of the fence on the Lurty ranch, the house being about one-third of a mile and the Perrin ranch house 11 miles in Pima county. A run of five miles brought the line to the road from Locliiet and HarsiaW to Fort Huachuca, crossing it 180 feet west of the United States reservation and g. 300 feet east of Igo's ranch house. From this point the line runs over a spur from the west slope of the Hua- chuca mountains and at three miles Judsons ranch w;ls seen about 1 miles west of ths line. Eight miles from the Huachuca road the line crosses the extreme southeast point of the Camille mountains passing about 5O1 feet west of Sam Gardner's. Another mile and Collins house Is seen down the canyon about one mile and half west of the line. A mile further; and Henry Breckner's house is one third of mile west of the line, within two miles of the Mexican boundary. Cam pini's ranch is three quarters of a mile west and doWn Campini's canyon. Burchage's ranck about 2 miles and Maloney's about 5 miles down the same canyon. The line closed on the Mexican boundary about 5000 feet east of the national monument No. 21 6 miles east of the United States niei idian line of the public surveys and S5 miles east of the nGtional monu- mcnt number g in tic San Rafael valley. Iron posts were set at all township corners, or every six miles slong the line, on the north side oi the railroads and OH the Mexicar boundary line, wooden posts were set at intervals of mile where iron post; were not used.
 Water was very scarce along thc line, as also were Indians and soldier: The party averaged three miles | day on tie line. The Whetstones be ing so extremely rough, they were six days making miles. MT. Roskruge says the field notes and plat will bt delivered to the supervisors of Pima and Cochise this coming week.
