Washington.-As an incidental fea-
ture of its topographic mapping in the
state of Colorado. the United States
Geological Survey has established
bench marks that have been found Of
nestimable value by engineers and
others who are required to have
knowledge of the exact elevation of
the locality at which their starting
points are founded. From 1896 to
1910, inclusive, the Geological Survey
marked more than 1880 exact eleva-
tions in the state. These datum
points have been marked by means
of tablets, caps on iron posts en-
bedded in the ground, or small metal
disks driven into trees, posts, ETC.. the
number stamped with steel dies on
the bench marks representing the ele-
vations to the nearest foot as deter.
mined by the levelman.
Bulletin 4s6, which has been issued
by the Survey, describes these datum
points and gives their exact eleva.
tions to the thousandth of foot. For
Instance, the datum point on the high
est point of Pixies Peak is described
as follows:
Pixies Peak, in monument of rocks
on summit of Pixies Peak; aluminium
tablet stamped "14,107 1867" A..
109.O69 feet.
