and mountainous districts Of the far
North, arrived from Ottawa last even

kan steamer with a party Of six pick.
ed men Of the Yukon country, to do
work in connection with the Alaskan
boundary dispute. The work will not
be completed until the fall of 1896, and
the party will remain until it is fin
ished.
From here the party will go to Ju.

way to the head of Taku inlet, thence
over Taku pass to the head of Lewis

From the head Of the Taku inlet to
the head Of the river is twenty three
miles over a mountain pass 5000 feet
high. From one almost impossible
canyon to where the international
boundary (that is the l4Ist meridian
west of Greenwich) crosses the river,
the descent is easy. Offering no obsta.

the party will Immediately commence
to locate the l4lst meridian, both north

The position Of the I4lst meridian
at this point was determined by Mr..
Ogilvie in Iss7-ss. and his determine
ton was verified by the United States
survey party during the winter Of
lsSs-s9.
There are upwards Of 100 miles of
line to be marked ON the ground. which
it will take well into 1896 to complete.
This is being done TO enable Canadian
authorities to avoid international un.
