fabulous richness. Time drill was kept going ,
however , and at 350 feet another rich body
ot ore was met. A shaft wIlt bo sunk as

ALASKAN BOUNDARY SURVEY ;
Tho' surveys 'of f' the boundary btween
Alaska and British Columbia ha\lng been
completed by the international commIssion
appoInted for that purpose , the mater Is now ,
. and the !
one for diplomatic negotiation ,
claims ot time two parties to the controversy
are so radicaly at , variance that ther Is n ,
prospect that another outbreak of excitement !
will ensue similar to the famous Incident
during which the cry of the people of the
United States was : "Fifty-four , forty or
fight. " England appears to be at , time old
game ot trying to secure the strategic points
for command ot the sea and of time means of
Ingress and egress to Alaska , .whose only
means at communicaton with the outside
world Is the water. The merit of time controversy -
versy and Its vital Importance to the United
States and especially to the Pugot' Sound
country were clearly stated In an Interview
which 0 reporter on thin Seattle Post-Intel-
ligoncor had with V. Wison , who bas just
returned from a tour of Alaska , and who
has thoroughly famIliarized himself wIth the
subject. Mr. Wilson said :
"The Drltsh game Is to gab whatever ter- ,
ritory I takes n fancy to. They did not care
for Alaska or the boundary very much unt
It was known that the banks and bars of
the hnndred ot tributaries to the Yukon
river contained gold. Just as soon as thIs
was known , however , Great Britain started a
dispute about the boundary with the United
Slates and Is now trying to claim a great
deal of territory which she Is net entitled to.
"The old grant from Russia to time United
Stats said time east bourttiar , was ten , ,
marine ! leagues from boundary sl where-
ever ther Is no definite mountaIn rnnge.
Time Uiiled States claims the coast iueans
time shores of all bays and Inlets. The
British claim Is' that tine ten marino leagues
, only run from time ocean shore and that It
doa not follow th'e meanderings of the bays
and Inlets. I this view Is established I
will give them access to , and egress from
wi
' ( Ito rich Yukon region , and then they would
control most of the trade which ' now comes
principally to Seattie.
"Vilhiamn Oglvlo , the surVeyor for the
Canadian goverminmeimt , last summer crossed
Iynn canal at nuser's hay. I this survey
imrcvails It whIt give gngland n splendid harbor -
bar at the head ot the bay which would be
an excellent dltrlbutng point Jar a big sec-
lion or the rich Yukon r glon. The result
ton
of this would be to bring Victoria Into com-
petton with Seattle for Ito trade of that
section. The reason given b ) Oglvo ! for
swltchhg : hU survey at this point Is that
tbee Is mme definite range of mountains In
that viciniy and that tine pint where ho
rnns his line across the cnnal Is ten Jnarlno
leagues from th main sbor .

say this. Since then the British , han
changed their views and have set up their

"I think that there should be no bzckdown
In this matter. The country Is our because
we bought I of Russia , . pall for I , and we
should not allow time liritislm

country to como In and take It away from
us. Miions of dollars will be taken out of
the Yukon placers In the future , and It would
be hdiotlc of us to let the shore line be
taken from us.
"England Is at her old game of tryIng to

which would largely restrict the net earn-

Inducement for the banks to avail them-

which It might keel ' a very Inrge amount of
legal tender In exIstence after the remainder -
der had been retired-an Incident which
would be Inconsistent with tim secretary's
puose to extinguish , nil time legal tender

- STATE BANKS FAVORED.
"Outside the national banking Interest the
proposal to permit the state banks to Issue
note must be modified to provide strong
6ateguards to meet with al'roval , the terms
ot Issue must necessarily be the same In
the case of both the national and state In-
stttons , but time secretary's bill makes
marked discrIminations In favor of the state
