Boundary Survey.

The engineers lately returned from
down the r o Grande, have given the
entire line from Rio Gran1e City to
the Gulf q new .and thorough survey.
This was necessary on account of the
numerous bancos that have been form
my all along the river, some sixty OF
them, and causing more or less confus.
Ion. These bancos are small peninsul-
a. or tongues of land formed by the err
ratio curvatures OF the river, which
in time are left high and dry by the
river cutting through the barrow
necks and forming a more di-
rect channel. After time these
old river channels are filed up, and
the course of the stream formerly 80
we'll marked, is obliterated. Now,
according to the treaty, these old
lines still constitute the boun-
dairy line between the two countries,
and their consequent instinctness Is the
occasion of much confusion to the
customs officers of both coun,r ies. So
q new survey was ordered with q view
to straig b tcning out things. An effort
will be made to have the actual cur
rent of the river made the boundary
line irrespective of previous loca-
tiOns.
