established their headquarters AZ Snmas. They
established an initial point there When our
party connected at that point 8 probable error
of six feet was found. We ran back and forth
on our line, and it came out rig hit each time. II
was then decided that the error was with the
English, as their instruments were inferior and
lack OF time caused the error. The two parties
then took alternate sections of twenty five
to forty miles OF the line, running east

landed on the Chiliwhaek river few miles from
its mouth, from which point they were pack ed

work was all done in the years ls57-5s-59. The

for them on that occasion. At the time of the

father OF the girl alleged to have been alIured
from her home, offered TO let Haydon take the
girl for 81 900 If he would go TO san Francisco
and secure a divorce from Mrs. Hayden, who
is regarded as one OF the hancsomsst women on
