There are 600 miles of boundary from Portland
canal up the coast to Mount st. Elias, where it
hooks around on to the 141st meridian and shoots
for another 600 miles straight north to the Arctic

All the land lying along the boundary must be
mapped on an accurate SCALE and a strip Of top
ography four miles wide must be run the entire
length of the 141st meridian; peaks which can
not be climbed rather those which would take
too long and would be too expensive to scale,
must be determined geodetically; vistas 20 feet
in width must be cut through the timbered val
leys, and monuments must be set up on the
routes Of travel and wherever a possible need for
them may occur.
The field season is short, lasting only from
June to the latter part of September, and along
