Widespread and bitter feeling against

a considerable gain in accuracy. The work itself is done with an in strument placed loose upon the plane table, known as an alidade, consisting of a telescope, mounted on a long brass ruler. The eleva- tions are carried from point to point by means of vertical angles taken with this instrument, and it is thus possible to maintain an ac- curacy which could not possibly be attained by the use of an aneroid.
 The triangulation system for the Grand Canyon map is now being brought north from Central Ari- zona by a special triangulation party. Bill Williams mountains, Kendrick peak and Red Butte will be occupied as points of the system. Bronze tablets will be placed on the tops of these mountains and large signals placed over them. Owing to the heavy snowfall this part of the work has suffered a serious delay.

MUCH NEEDED
 SNOW FALL

Last Saturday the unusally clear and cloudless skies began to darken in the direction of Bill Williams mountain and soon scattering snow flakes came drifting with the wind. The majority of the residents of Williams are believers in the adage that "you can fool some of the peo- pie part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all time," and consequently not as much heed was paid to the gathering clouds as if such signs had not been an almost every day occurrence for the past month. Many times during the past few weeks have genuine indi- cations of storm been evident, but as a rule a sudden change in the wind caused an unlocked for dis appearance of the storm.
 Of late the water supply through out the county has been getting unusally low, and grave fears have been expressed at the outlook for the coming summer. During Sun day the flakes continued to fall spasmodically, but on Monday morning the storm came on in earnest and by night the country was covered with a heecy mantle of white, which varied in depth from eighteen inches on the level to sew eral feet up in the mountains. So rapid and heavy was the fall that all business was practically sus- pended, and different parties got out pencil and paper and began figuring the worth of the snow fall, by the hour, minute and second, to this section. The result as handed us by one accountant was some thing like $20,OO0 per hour for fifteen hours, which is really a conservative estimate.
 Aside from the great benefits to to the lumber company, which affects the welfare of the town col lectively, the result to our stock men, who are now assured water and good range in abundance, is almost beyond estimation, to say nothing of the added impetus the industry has received. The storm was general throughout the territory, a snow fall of twelve inches being reported at Prescott while Phoenix was treated to q rain.
 All chance for shortage on the water question has disappeared and business confidence is again re- stored. In fact, though rather late for such a fall, it will be of vastly greater benefit now than though it had come a month ago.

will show all the side canyons and gulches, even to the uppermost ra- vines at their heads; every house, wagon road, trail, spring or tank, and mine. The relief of the coun- try will be shown by brown con tour lines (lines of equal elevation throughout), each an even hundred feet above the next lower one.
 Besides these accurate lines of levels will be run from the railroad along the main roads south of the canyon, and one will be run down the trail to the waters edge Bench marks will be placed along the roads at intervals of three miles. These will consist of either wrought iron posts with bronze caps, set three feet in the ground, or alumni mum tablets, sunk in the solid rock, set with cement; the elevation will be stamped on them, correct to the nearest foot.
 The process of mapping is quite different from the usual surveying methods, and this new map work must not be confounded with the running of township section lines. The measurement of long distances by chain or tape across a rough country like the Grand Canyon is extremely slow and expensive, and most likely to be seriously in error. The geological survey dispenses with such measurements entirely and uses triangulation instead. In a system of triangulation it is nec- essary to measure by tape but one hne-the base line. After this has been done with the utmost care in favorable locality, preferably along a straight railroad track, the remainder of the work consists of turning of angles with theodolite. the distances from point to point being computed. At least one point in the system is located astronom- Aof lbo lhllNddC longitude are determined by obser- vations on stars; the positions of the other points are then computed. Several triangulation points of this kind are located on each atlas sheet; the elevation of one is determined by levels, and then the mapping itself begins. This is done on a drawing board mounted on a tripod. known as a 'plane table" The paper upon which the map is to be drawn is stretched on the plane table and is carried in the field. The map is now compiled from notes and sketches, as is the usual manner in surveying, but is drafted on the spot. The points on the map are located by graphical trian- gulation-that is to say, the lines of sight are drawn on the map in- stead of plated from angles. This means a great saving in time and

NEW MAP OF THE
 GRAND CANYON

Through the kindness of MT. F E. Matthes, the topograPher oi the United States geological sur vey, in charge of the resurvey oi the Grand Canyon, we have been able to obtain some news concern ing this work. Mir Matthes has been at work for the geological sur vey during the past four years making maps of the Rocky noun tains of Wyoming and Montana, and makes a speciality of map work in mountainous regions.
 The United States geological sur vey has been called upon to pre- pare a new large scale topographic map of the Grand Canyon. The members of the mapping party, who arrived here last Saturday, are now busy outfitting and will be ready to start for the canyon in a few days. They will remain in the field some eight months, and expect to map about six hundred square miles, comprising the finest portion of the canyon from the mouth of the Lit tie Colorado to several miles below the Bright Angel hotel The new map will be published in rectangu- lar atlas sheets, of about 250 square miles each, on scale of one mile to the inch. The entire area of the Grand Canyon forest reserve will ultimately be mapped in this way in twelve atlas sheets These will be for sale to the public at the rate of five cents apiece, upon applica- ton to the director of the United States geological survey at Wash ington, ID. c. The two maps made this summer will be out next spring.
 More than twenty years ago the United States geological survey made a reconnaissance map of a large section of Arizona, including the San Francisco mountains and the Grand Canyon. All the rail road, tourist and land office maps now in use are based upon this first reconnoissance; and its usefulness is by no means at an end now that q more detailed map of the canyon is about to appear, for it covers large tracts of more or less arid land which will probably not be re- surveyed with greater detail for years to come
 The new map is intended to be particularly useful to those con nected with the Grand Canyon for est reserve and to the geologists in terested in this largest of all can yons. It will be of great value to local engineers and surveyors, as we'll as to prospectors, and incl dentally it will make a most at tractive and lucid map for tourists
