The Official geographical boundary
between the United States Of Ameri-
ca and the Republic Of Mexico has been
established. and after many years of
hard and dangerous work by Colonel J.
w. Barlow, engineer-in-chief Of the In
tcrnational Boundary Survey. and his
men, the line has been marked by q &C.

iron. Colonel Barlow's report has been
sent to the Department of State at
Washington, but will not be published
for year. Numerous fine illustra-
lions are to be made to accompany the
report, and when completed 1t will be
one of the most interesting and attrac-
tive documents ever issued by the Gov
eminent.
The war with Mexico. which closed
with the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
entered into at the village Of that name
in 1S4S, resulted In the cession to the
United States Of the States Of New
Mexico and California. as then consti-
tuted. The southern boundary Of this
territory was not clearly defined. and
q commissioner was appointed to mark
the line, but managed to spend all Of
the appropriate before he commenced
the work. w. H. Emory was then ap-
pointed, who, with commissioner
from Mexico. went about the work in
business-like manner, commencing
at the Pacific coast. When the gold
excitement of California reached the
men at work on the line they abandon
ed the work and went to the mines, Sc
r.ously retarding it's progress. Later
the commission succeeded in filling the
places, Of the workmen and proceeded
with the survey, which was finished to
the first natural mark, the junction OF
the ella and Colorado Rivers. How.
ever. before this work was complete
the Gadsden treaty of 1853 made 1t nee
essary to move that part Of the line
east of the Colorado farther south to
where 1t vet remains. This new line
was to begin at point on the Ric
Grande commencing at parallel 31.47

transporting their supplies up the Rio
Grande by freight teams. Working
westward. they reached the Colorado
River and marked the line with stone
monuments at various distances apart.
Three or four Of these were substantial
and yet remain, but the rest. about
thirty three In number. soon gave way
to the hand of time. Some Of them dis
appeared entirely, while q email pile
of stones remained to mark the place
where others were supposed to have
been. This left the boundary between
the two countries very poorly marked
Some new towns and ranches had
sprung up along the line, and there
was doubt as to which country they
legally belonged. The tax collectors
were frequently bafIled and the reve-
nue. guards had some doubt about the
line, although they knew by tradition
approximately where they had q right
to enforce the laws at the point Of
gun. Some mines were discovered
along the line, and in more than one
place the mines were located on both
sides Of 1t. The United States Import
duty ON lead and the Mexican export
duty on gold and silver were Of some
importance, and the very high duties
on liquors, all kinds Of merchandise
and live stock made the necessity for a
well-defined line imperative.
The United States and Mexico hnal-
~ agreed upon re-marking tho boun-
Diary from the Rio Grande to the Pa
cific and upon the methods to be en-
ployed in the work. According to the
stipulations monuments were to be
erected not more than Ave miles apart,
the weight Of which should be not less
than 500 pounds each, and the line
should not be changed from where
first located by previous treaties. Three
years was allowed for making the line
and other minor details were left t.
the joint commission. The commits
sioners organized their respective ex
4 petitions and agreed to meet at r
Paso, where the line begins, early II

The Mexican Expedition.
The Mexican expedition was organ
lied on the same plan, but not quite
so extensive. They brought their
mules from Mexico, but nearly every.
thing else was of American manufac-
ture-wagons, instruments. and. in
fact. everything necessary for the ex-
petition. Our appropriation for the
work was $225, 900. but the Mexican
government allowed their commission
ers a monthly allowance Of $1,000 In
Mexican silver. Fortunately for them.
silver was almost at par when the
work first began. but 1t dropped In
price till they were compelled to sell
their dollars for 50 cents and buy sup
plies at American prices.
The methods Of running a long line
on q parallel are different from ordi-
nary surveying. 1t must run with the
curve of the earth, and therefore a
straight line runs off on a tangent from
the true curve line. which at a distance
Of fifty miles, amounts to aboa,: 1000
feet. As no telescope has yet been In
vented that will look around corners

to parallel 1870. thence west to inter-
section Of third meridian, thence north
west to q point on the Colorado about
twenty miles south of its confluence
with the ella. At the time of the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo the diplomats
were ignorant Of the fact that the Col
orado River from the junction of the
ella runs a little north Of west for
distance Of about six miles. and then
resumes its general course southwest.
This caused a line to be run on the
south side Of the river, where 1t was
supposed when the treaty was made
the river would form a natural boun-
Diary. Part Of the town Of Yuma and
the territorial prison of Arizona have
been built on this narrow strip Of land,
and a difference Of opinion has arisen
as to the true boundary between Cali
fornia and Arizona along this part Of
the line, and the matter has found its
way into the courts. The question to
be decided Is whether the prisoners in
the Arizona penitentiary are illegally
confined In California when they
should be In Arizona
The Difficulties.

whole line. All supplies necessary to

Giles of food, such as wheat. corn and
fresh meat, and even those scarce and

from the Pacific coast or the Gulf of
