POMONA, CaL, Sept. 1L — Johnston, cashier of the Pomona ) Bank, has every reason to bel eldest daughter, Mary, is among <. e dead of the wreck on the Denver and Rio Grande railroud near Newcastle, Colorado.

Efforts of This State for a Congressional Appropria- tion Were Wasted. | The New Nevada-Callfornia Bound- ! | ary Almost the Same as the Von | Schmidt Line of 1873. ’ TRUCKEE, Car., Sept. 1l.—Advices just received here state that the survey of | | the boundary line between California and | Nevada is almost completed, and that California is to get considerably less than | was originally expected. All hope of hav- ing Lake Tahoe entirely within the State is now dissivated, and the active efforts made by this Stae to secure fundsin Con- gress for the prosecution of the boundary urvey in the anticipation that the lake | would be found to be a California prop- rty exclusively thus go for nothing. The survevors who are comuleting the work are now on Freehills Peak, near | Bijou, Lake Tahoe, and in the Como | Mountains. Surveyors Sinclair and Boyce | are at the former point, while veyor Baldwin is in the Como Mountains. | About $2000 of the Congressional appro- priation secured by Congressman Cami- netii remains unexpendea and will be used by the men above named in correct- ing a few mistake~ maae in triangulation. | According to the information obtain- | able at present, the new iine varies little from the Von Schmidt line, surveved in 1873. Nevada o es ome ground in the | neighbortood of Lake Tahoe, and gains | at other points. | The present survey has been in progress | somewhat over three years, although not | continuously for that length of time. It| has concerned only the line south of Lake | Tanoe. North of that point the line was | established easily, because it was appar- | ently and actually straight, but south of | Tahoe the line is partof a sreat circle, and | hence continually ‘changes in direction. This fact hasled to many disputes as to the exact location of 1he line. C. G. Sinclair has vbeen in charge of the work from the outsel. He bas two par-| ties under bim, one headed by W. B. Fair- field and the other by A. L, Baldwin. He | began operations in the epring of 1594. All his reports xo to the main office of the | Coast and Geodetic Survey at Washington, | and for that reason news of the progress | | of the survey come- 1n but meagerty. | All surveys b had a point in the | midd'e of Lake Tahoe as their points of | departure. It had been hoped that the | new survey would change this pivoial | point, but it has not done so. | Owing to the great depth of tlie lake the determination of the point for the bound- ary has been very difficult. The line | turns there, and the surveyors expended a | great amount of time and diligent comput- ing in finally adjusting the point. From Taboesouth it has been necessary to first compute the curvatures of the line and then to locate iton the ground. A tuil | year was occupied in this work on the i short distanc- of 150 miles south of the lake. Arrangements had 2lso to be made to avoid being in Death Vailey country in | the summer season because of the 1n- tensity of the heat. This delayed the progress of the survey more or less. Positive information is not obtainable, | but so far as can be learned the new line | | cross the old one near Sweetwater, in | Esmeralda County, Nev. In Inyo County, {in this State, it will pass Bishop about | balf a mile west of the former stak By | this adjustment the old controversy as to the taxes of Sylvania will be terminated. That mining camp will be thrown entirely into Nevada, it having been nalf in Cali- | half in Nevada hitherto. A number of other mining camps will be ! s'milarly affected, so that they will know where to pay their assessments and will | no longer have an excuse for deferrins | and disputing them, as they have done hitherto. California will gain something by the | survey, but Nevada's gain will off et it. The cost of the survey is estimated to | have been about $5000 per annum., Surveyor Sinclair has had the new line | mark+d out by holes drilled in the rocks wherever that has been possitle, and these holes are to be used as foundations tor the monumnents.
