A BOUNDARY SURVEY.

Ordered 70 Honolulu.

SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE United
States coast and geodetic survey depart
mont has arranged to continue the work of
surveying the boundary between Alaska
and British Columbia. Superintendent
Mendenhall. of that department., has ar
ranged for three parties to begin work on
April 10 The Canadian government has
provided for parties ALSO and they will be
placed on the main land bordering the
Archipelago Alexander. There will also
be triangulation and astronomical
parties on the rivers Taku. Stick
cen and Uriak, and Holkham bay.
There will DO an astronomical party at
Sitka. The chiefs Of the Canadian parties
are not known. but those of the United
States are: Messrs. Ogden. Titman,
Dickens, McGrath. Turner and Moore.
The men needed to accompany the ON.
GERS will be employed in this city and at
Puget sound. Each party will exchange
one Of their number for one from the other
government, which is the usual rule
in such international Investigations. A
part Of boundary line was run in
1889 and 1890, at the 14lst meridian, on
tho Yukon, and by Turner and Moore on
the Porcupine river. A part Of the 141st
meridian was determined from Yakutat
bay, sixty-fve miles east of Mount St Elias,
in 1892. The coast steamer Hassler will
be employed during the season. Prof.
Davidson says the parties will re-
main until October, and they
hope to complete the survey. This
may not be accomplished, however. be-
cause the rivers are hard to ascend, being
narrow and the currents swift. Tho
mountain chains are rugged and steep,
rising from 5000 to 5000 feet above the
river valleys.

SAN Francisco, March 15.-An elevator
accident occurred this evening in an office
building known as the Colonnade, on

resulted in the instant death of Will
lam O'Donnell. an 11-year-old boy. He
was talking to the elevator boy on the first

the rope. which started tho cage.
Just above the first floor there
was an open transom, and for some
reason O'Donnell put his head through
this and was caught in an instant. The
cage did not stop until it was three feet
above the transom. The boys neck was
broken and his head and shoulders were
so tightly wedged between the cage and
walls of the shaft that the wood work had

Fred Kopp, Solduck rancher, was found
dead in the woods by q search party last
Thursday. He was lost and had died OF
exhaustion and starvation. Several days
previous he and another rancher named
Cable started out elk hunting. They had

themselves unable to reach their homes.
They lived day or two on raw elk meat
while struggling to find their way out OF
the wilderness.
Coming to dispute over the route to b
taken, Cable parted from his companion
and soon reached home in safety. He
gave the alarm, and a search party struck
out and found Kopp's body rigid and cold
in death. The funeral took place at Sol
duck on Sunday afternoon.

ordinance would assist him to be returned

plant continues, to the effect that the plan
mapped out by the water company would
result in a gravity system. 1t is cited that

coma must have one also. Such state
ments are made in connection with the
statement that tho Tacoma plant is pay
