MASON-DlXON line
BEGUN Isl YRS. AGO
To Mark the Boundary Between
Original States Of Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland

In 1853, a little over ISL years ago,
two English surveyors, Charles Mason
and jeremiah Dixon. began the SUR
veying OF what came TO be known as
the Mason and Dixon line between
the states OF Pennsylvania and Mary
land. This line afterward became ia
nous as the supposed boundary be.
tween the north and the south. or be-
tween the free or slave.holding states.
The line was surveyed al the In
stance OF William Penn and Lord
Baltimore. The surveyors were three
years In making the survey from the
northeast corner TO the foot OF Savage
mountain. In 1867 the work was nm
ished from the latter point TO Vir.
ginia, now West Virginia. The line
is said 10 have cost 100000 and the
surveyors employed an army OF 100
axmen and a road 80 feet wide was
cut through the dense forest
A mixture OF sand and lime stones
|of light brown-grayish color was
brought over from England to mark
the line and these stones were set
up At intervals OF a mile wherever
IL was possible to erect them. They
weighed 500 pounds each and were
l-2 feet high. On some parts OF the
line the country was SO rugged that
mounds OF dirt and rock had to be
substituted. for these stones.
Today the Mason and Dixon line
has been resurveyed and remarked
and Invested OF It's chief erroneous
traditions. In lS49 revision OF the
line was made by a joint commission
from Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware, and IL was then found that
the change involved by the correction
amounted to less than two acres,
which were added TO Maryland. In
1903 Pennsylvania and Maryland each
appropriated $1,000 for the restora.
ton OF the line
Many Of the peculiar English stones
had disappeared. and the commission
made an exhaustive search for them
The Identification was an easy task,
for on breaking them the stones emit
ted a sulphurous odor. So thorough
was the search that some were found
in the curbing OF streets and in peo-
pies cellars. One was taken from
where IL had done service for many
years. In the places OF those that
could not be found new stones OF
marble were set up.
On every fifth stone the coat OF
arms Of William Penn was cut on the
Pennsylvania side and on the Mary
land side the escutcheon OF Lord Bal
timore was placed. On the others the
monogram p. and NJ. was cut. The
stones are now set so near ole an
other even In the mountain regions,
that the traveller may stand at a stone
and see the next one.
