Enrland.s Real E.tate Los.

A mistake which cost the British govern
ment about as much territory as there is in
the state Of Rhode Island has come TO
light. The error consists of the fact that
the iron monuments at Blaine, and FOL
many miles east of there, are $50 yards
north of the forty-ninth parallel, which
should be the next boundary line.
Ensign Edward Moale, Jr.. of the United
States navy, and connected with the United
States coast survey, tells the story. Three
years ago Ensign Moale was on the United
States surveying schooner which was OPP
Grating in the vicinity Of Blaine. The au
thorities at Washington sent out charts
containing the latitude and longitude,
which are filled in with the result Of the
surveys.
Attached TO the schooner was Assistant
S. S. Gilbert who had charge OF the party
working on shore. He sent in a plated re
suit of his work, which was filed into
maps received from headquarters at Wash
ington. When Gilbert's charts were plat
ted in these maps it was found that tn
boundary monuments at Blaine, and for a
distance east thereof were $50 yards to the
north of the forty-ninth parallel
AT first we thought we were mistaken, =
said Ensign Moale, land carefully went
over the work time and again, only to
verify the fact that the boundary monu.
ments were further north than they should
be-"
How did the mistake oecurf"
81 suppose when the boundary line sur
vey was made in 1852 under the direction
of the joint American and English com
mission that slight error was made by
the surveyors in northern Montana or the
Rocky mountains. This was trifling at
the start. but kept widening out until it
covers $50 yards wide at the Straits OF
Georgia"
"Can the British demand the territory
backs''
"No, they cannot, because the boundary
line between the United States and Can
ada is fixed by these monuments, which
are of iron and are placed every mile from
the Lake of the Woods TO the straits OF
Georgia From the Lake of the Woods tc
the Atlantic the boundary line is fixed by
the lakes and rivers. This fact has never
beeen officially reported to Washington"
