Fragmented Historic Notes From a Pall Mall Gazette Entry

Primitive surveying and vast Boers runs of South Africa
The article recounts a legend from Smithtown about land measurment by a fast horse and a bull rider named Bull Smith, and compares it to Boer practice where farms or runs span 4000 to 6000 acres. It describes beacon posting, horse-powered extents, and the early boundary method using a half hour ride to form a square tract. It notes the sun as a natural timepiece and mentions a giant sun dial phenomenon at a coastal promontory with islands marking the shadow.
