to comply with the terms of the Gadsden treaty. This monument stands on the edge of the mesa overlooking the Colorado Valley, and 2.7 miles east of that river. It is pyramidal in shape, 8 feet high, 2 feet G inches square at bottom, 1 foot 3 inches square at top, with a base 4 feet square, and, like those on the southern California boundary, is composed of thin cast-iron plates riveted together. Its foundation, like the others, was found defective, and is now replaced by masonry. Following the line eastward, Nos. Ill, IV, and V could not be found. It is possible they were never erected, as no trace of them exists, and it is hardly presumable that in this part of the desert, where a human being seldom passes, mans agency could have removed them. No. VI, a rude pile of stones, was found 101.2 miles east of No. II. Nos. VII and VIII, both originally located near the important Quitoba-quita Springs, were also missing. These had undoubtedly been destroyed by unknown persons and for unknown reasons.
