Surrey* for Copper River Country.
The Surveyor-General has issued
invitations for proj>osnls to execute
government survey of l*n.«e and
Dieridinn lines in Copper river
country. A contract was let for
this work over a year ago, but the
restrictions put upon the surveyor
Were such that it was impossible to
do the work for the cum|icnsation
allowed. This spring bids were
asked for at a i>er mile compensa
tion, but no bids were received
The department has now decided
to have the work done at n per
diem com|>cnsation which is to in
clude all expenses for executing the
survey.
The bids will be opened June 11,
and it is required that the success
ful bidder give Umd in a sum
double the estimated amount of the
contract. Surveys are to l>c com
pleted and returns made to the
land office before Dec. 31, 1904.
The base and meridian lines to
be surveyed aggregate 200 miles.
