by a topographical party working from an independent base line. Each topographical party was accompanied by one or more field assistants, whose duty it was: First, to gauge the streams and take notes with reference to irrigable areas and measure cross sections of such areas; second, to collect samples of the soils and grasses and specimens of the trees.
The following year a geological party equipped with rapid-proces copies of the topographical map, made a special exploration of the area for coal-bearing districts. The coal beds were explored by pits, trenches, or tunnels under cover; differential samples were taken and these were sent to the home office and analyzed. In order to locate on the existing or prospective map the position of field observations the observers were provided with a light, specially constructed dioptic compass which revolved on a graduated circle and could be read more closely than by the needle. Bearings taken to several prominent points served to approximately fix the position of the observation to be recorded.
No museum was established.
The total expenditure for the survey during the three years (two years of field work) of its existence was $398,940. Of this amount more than a third was spent in the special exploration of the coal fields, in digging and boring. The publications were map bulletins.
