Day half clear with strong breezes from W.  Observations for azimuth, magnetic & astronl with Theod. No 97 & latitude with vertical circle at Sandpoint Station.  Object observed upon for azimuth is "Hill" station of our triangulation of last year.  The signals on Range Island & Sandpoint have been removed by someone, probably stolen for the lumber contained in them.  But the position of the signal at Sandpoint was readily found by means of a stake driven last year to indicate the excentric station, and Hill station being difficult to access had not been disturbed.  Drive a heavy stake to be covered when we are done observing to mark center of station.

Transcription Notes:
Note: on page 83, astronl is undoubtedly an abbreviation for astronomical. Similarly, M'gnt is most likely an abbreviation for magnetic.
