From time to time since the new survey of the boundary line between this country and Mexico was commenced there have been reports published in the newspapers that the old survey was incorrect and that the boundary line would be changed very materially in some places. The survey has been going on for about a year and so far there has not been the slightest change made. The old survey has been found to be absolutely correct as it was supposed that it would be. The old survey was made by the most eminent engineers of the two governments and the resurvey which will be completed in about four months will set at rest forever any doubt as to the accuracy of the work.
