Springs, Nevada. ttr: Your favor of 15th. Inst. received. 1 am not aware of any way of remedying the errors you report in the Survey of Subdivisions of fp. 20 S,r R. «l S. The tran»orlpt sent you oh December 6 proved the accuracy of that famished on November* 14, and there are many ways of accounting for the discrepancies found between the actual conditions upon the ground and those returned to the office in the contracting deputy'a field-hates from Vftidh the approved plat was constructed. The record shows that the south boundary of this township which yOU report as correctly rdrt and marked, was surveyed in 1881 by Shunt and Proctor* B. Ss, while the North* Bast and test boundaries* and sal subdivision lines were run by tools and Myrick, B.se., in 1882, and it may be observed that many complaints have been made of erroneous work executed by those contracting deputies in southern Nevada, the latest instance being In Township Ifc South, Range TO last, which wa& suspended on February 8, iao& by the honorable Commissioner of the General hand office* upon my recommendation* baaed upon a very careful and thorough search for comers by a qualified deputy, whose report was corroborated by affidavits of five disinterested residents of the viditiity.
