trict. Notwithstanding the many stories
which have been set afloat In regard 10
the subject. The boundary In question
was carefully surveyed and approprf-
ately marked by a Joint commission
many years ago. and the monuments
are stiil in existence. Aside from this,
the manner Of finding the boundary.

simple. n can easily be done by any
man who knows how 10 handle q the

The boundary IL the ssth parallel OF
latitude. An observation OF the sun,

even sextant and an ARTIFICIAL horizon.

fraction Of mile. Any competent sur
veyor ought to be able to determine 10

whether his claim lies north or south
Of the 9th parallel. unless the claim ia
so located, with reference TO the
boundary. that absolute exArtness
is necessary. This idea Of there hslng a
Dispute 10 the extent Of two or three
miles over the location o. the boundary
