SUPERVISOR JOHNSON
here FROM WASHINGTON

That there are ten millions of

the United States there are one hun
dred and thirty-two.
The department is able to survey
from one to two million acres year
in New Mexico and you can Judge
therefore how long it will take to fin
ish up the work. The general land
office surveyed fourteen million acres
this season.
That there is still work for the land
offices in various states was made
plain by the statement that the gov
ernment has much resurveying wo k |
to do. And then when all the lands |
have been surveyed and resurveyed, |
there is need of mineral surveys
Mr.. Johnson seemed much pleased
with his trip through the great south
west the vastness of which impressed
telescopes to gaze at the great stretch
ps of land before him.
