check positive errors. The lati-
tude and longitude of camp David
son, above the Yukon, have been
absolutely fixed from long series
of observations. From that point
the country has been triangulated
to the Yukon and traverse line
has been run all the way to the
Forty Mile creek. This work has
been in progress since 1890
and the final calculations
will be completed in about
three weeks. Gen. Duffield does
not expect tho line to vary much
from that Of Oglesvie, and from
the information he has he gives it
as his opinion that all of the gold
properties of the Yukon and Forty
Mile creek are within the iurisdic-
tion of the United States. So far
as he has been informed, and the
report of the governor OF Alaska
agrees with this information, all
the. gold discoveries have been to
the west OF line drawn from Cape
Barrow to the extreme southern
point of Alaska (all Of which is in
United States territory. There
are two ways of reaching the
mining region Of Forty Mile
creek, one from the south
ward by way of ,Chilieat Pass
and the upper tributaries Of the
Yukon, and the other by ascending
the Yukon from its mouth. The
former Is through Canadian terri
tory, save for the small distance
around the bend Of the Yukon, and
81 miles up Forty Mile creek. Ac-
cording to the advices from Alas.
ka, British officials have been levy
ing and collecting duties on min
ing materials as they passed
through British territory. This,
General Duffield says, is entirely
legal, il the Oglesvie line is found
to be substantially correct, as he
believes it will be. Still, much in
terest will attach to the result of
the final computations General
Duffield is making, as they will
furnish a boundary upon which
the United States can stand.

Bshring SEA- Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, october 30.-Sir
Charles Upper and Hon. Macken-
zie Bowel, of Canada, have arrived
In Washington and will be the
guests OF the British embassy.
These gentlemen are here to act
as advisors to Sir Julian Pauncefote
in his negotiations with Secretary
Olney in the matter of arranging
the claims for the Behring sea
seizures, which are to begin this
week. The damages which it is
sought to recoup grew cut Of the
alleged seizure of vessels owned by
Canadians engaged in the sealing
and all tentative conclusions
reached would probably be sub
mitted to the Canadian authorities
before Sir Julian Pauncefote final
ly accepted them. By having the
representatives Of the Canadian
government here much valuable
time will be saved and the British
ambassador will have the advant-
age OF their personal knowledge of
the facts involved.

ONLY A MARES NEST,
Hunting For Fake Fortune Left
by Fake Testator to
Fake Erenchman


CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-City officials
are puzzled over a letter which ar
rived here few days ago from
Amiens, France. 1t was addressed
to Monsigneur LIE Presidente, De
La Chambre Des Notaires, Chicago,
Amerique, but as there is no
chamber Of notsries in this city,
the postal clerks concluded to try
county clerk, and the letter was
turned over to him. In brief the
letter said:
"Several French newspapers and
particularly the papers of Havre
made the announcement in 1882
that the famous American chem
ist, John Gundy, one of the richest
men in Ohio, had left his immense
fortune of $l5,000,000 to a French
man named Jaques Boyer. A dis
patch announces that great excite
ment on the receipt of his legacy
overcame him and he soon follow
ed his benefactor to the grave.
Boyer lived in Chicago and orig
mated in Normandy, but at that
time we knew OF only his parents"
Then follows a list of Ques-
tions concerning Boyer, his death,
the name OF the person who took
charge Of his estate, the estate, con-
corning John Gundy and last
comes the question, "Wss there a
real fortunew
In closing Mr.. Podevin says that
IL there was real fortune and Jac-
ques Boyer is really dead, then the
town of ,Amiens will be greatly
benefited, for it would be his heir.
Diligent search OF the records OF
Cook county and the city of Chica-
go Cor the past twenty-five years
do not disclose the existence of any
such estate; there is no record Of
the death Of John Gundy and the
musty Giles are equally bare OF any
record of Jacques Boyer.

How to Make Beeswax.

The following receipt for beeswaX
can be vouched for: After the combs
have been put through an extractor OF
crushed and strained through n thin
cloth, the wax is put in copper or por-
celain-lined kettle with cold water
enough to cover it, and boiled for half
an hour or longer, If it seems necessary.
When the wax is taken from the stove
1t is strained and poured in vessel pre-
viously dipped in cold water. To make
a round cake of beeswaX, pour the
melted wax in a bowl that has been
dipped in cold water. When cold it
may be easily removed if the bowl was
dipped in cold water. To make wax
sheets, use a board three-eighths of an
inch thick, dampened with warm water,
then dipped in the melted wax two or
three times. The board is next put In
water to cool for little while, after
which it 5 taken out, the edges trim
med with sharp knife and two sheets
of wax peeled off. To make these wax
sheets the wax must not be too hot or
1t will crack.-Ladies' Home Journal.
