“ If we take an east and west line, or say the northern boundary line of section 14, and measure off the full ength of the east side, we have the distance shown by the stake driven. If we were to go one section still further east,-a point which nobody has ever claimed was reached by Green River Island,-we will have exactly the same thing, a stake on the bank of the Ohio river, and I assume the same notes would show stakes on the Ohio river up to the Ohio line. It does not follow, therefore, that all the land that has been made south of these stakes is in Kentucky. ”

“ Upon one side of the stone should be cut the word 'Indiana,' and upon the opposite side the word 'Kentucky.' Between the stone monuments, at each turning point of the line, there should be placed an iron post six feet long, and six inches in diameter of cross section. The iron post to be imbedded in a foundation of concrete two feet square, and three and one-half feet deep; the top of the concrete to be at the surface of the ground, and the post standing upright in the concrete, the top of the post being three feet above the ground. ”

“ It would seem probable that the chute, before it was choked up by drifts and deposits, had a width, more or less uniform, of about eight chains, between crests of the high bank. During low-water stages the part of the chute covered by water was probably nearly in the center of the chute. Just how far the low-water surface extended towards the Indiana side, it is impossible at this time to determine accurately, but it would seem that a close approximation to the water line would be a line equidistant from the Indiana bank crest line and the central line of the chute. ”
