session of the different plants of
the company. The total assets

money market and inability to secure
extension of obligations caused the col
lapse. All shops and plants of the COM
pany, in six different states, are tempo
rarily closed and $500 employees made
idle. Those most heavily interested and
who caused the appointment of a re-
ceiver, assert that the company will be
able to liquidate all it's Indebtedness
and pay stockholders dollar for dollar

receiver was made very quietly and the
bill suppressed in order that the receiv-

done in order to give all interested par

AGREAT COUNTRY.
We Get Three Miles More of A1ask
Than Was Supposed.

Than Was supposed.
DIR. w. V. kingsbury, the surgeon of
the United States Coast and Geodetlc
survey party, organized definitely to
establish the northeastern boundary of
Alaska, has returned to St. Louis after
anabsence of overtWo years. In speak-
ing of the tri p and its results, DIR.
Kingsbury said: '1n the opinion OF
the leaders of the two government sur
vev parties sent into Alaska, the result
of the work has been most satisfactory.
The object of the expedition has been
definitely to establish the northwestern
boundaries of Alaska, about which
there was q difference OF British and
American opinion. Lieut.. Frederick
Schwatka had made running survey
along the Hist parallel for this govern
ment, and Surveyor Ogilvie for the Brit
ish government, but there was differ
ence ofthree milesin their establishment
of the northeastern boundary line. Our
camp was situated at the intersection Of
the l41st parallel with the Yukon River,
and the result of our work has been to
confirm the Ogllvie survey, which gives
the United States three miles more ter
ritory along the northeastern boundary
line of Alaska than it was supposed to
have. Of course, it will require long
time for Surveyor McGrath to get his
official report ready, and it will proba-
bly, not be made for two years following
his return to the StateS.'
