Improvements for Surveying Camp.

A new naphtha launch is being built by Seabury, at Morris Heights, New York, to be used next summer in connection with the surveying camp at Squam Lake, New Hampshire. The boat will be forty feet long with a beam of eight feet and a draught of twenty inches. It will have a speed of nine miles an hour. During the past winter, a new ice-house and a cold storage plant have been built near the lake, and a stone pier extending from the camp to the lake. With these improvements, the camp will be better able to carry on its surveying work during the coming summer.
