Show SURVEY III1S AID PROSPECTORS Government Has Established 600 Datum Points in the State of Utah. . Prospectors and others who have occasion oc-casion to take their bearings from landmarks, froquontly iind it to their advantage lo rcfor to tho datum points established by tho United States geological geo-logical survoy. Tho survey has established estab-lished inoro than COO such datum points in tho state of Utah. They are marked in two ways. Ono form of mark is a circular brouzo or aluminum tablet tltrco and ono-haif inches in diameter and a quarter of an inch thick, having 11 three-inch stem, which is cemented in a drill holo in solid rock in tho wall of soxno public building, a bridgo abutment, abut-ment, or other substantial masonry structure. The second form, used whoro mnsonrv or rock is not available, consists con-sists of" a hollow wrought-iron post four feet long, with tho bottom sproad out to givo a firm bearing on tho oarth. A bronzo or aluminum-bronzo cap is riveted rive-ted ovor tho top of the post, which in set about three foot in the ground. Afc tho less important points a Bpecial coppor cop-por nail ono and one-half inches long 19 driven through a copper washer seven-eighths of an inch 111 diameter. The tablets and tho caps on tho iron posts aro appropriately lottcrcd. Tho highest point, in tho state of Utah thus far determined by tho United States geological survey is I ho Two Baldys, a mountain pe'ak four miles wost of Gilbort r)cak. This point is marked bv a brouzo tablet, stamped i( 11,423 Evan." In reality, however, the exact elevation of the datum point thus marked by tho United States geological geo-logical survoy 'is ll.-12n.322 feet. When engineers and others engaged in work requiring a knowledge of exact ex-act elevations .from which to lay out their plnns fiud these bench marks or datum points, thov should communicate communi-cate with tho United Stales geological survov in order to ascertain the exact elevations, as the figures stamped on the bench marks are "only approximate. The survoy has published a series of bulletins which givo tho elevations of these bench marks to tho thousanatu of a foot and which in themselves aro of value- to those who desire to ascertain ascer-tain tho height above mean sea level of any point in nny stale.
