The clamor to have the boundary

interests. Al day or two ago. it was
rumored about that the question was
to be ended by giving the Venezuelans
the northwest district.
This caused a big commotion as there

territory than i'm any other ia the col
so much loss to the gold men, who are
afraid that they viii lose everything

the mining industry and posi- bilities
of British Guiana in this report stat
ing that that part of the territory
which Great Britain refuses TO arbi-

until it was decided that the land be-
longed to Great Britain.
This book was out nearly q month
before anyone happened to think that
the British government had said that
this territory was not in dispute The
report was Immediately suppressed
For the last two months weather has
been dry. and has been very difficult
for the miners to reach the few fields
that are not in disputed territory and
this has added to their disgust The
dry weather has also done considerable
damage TO the crops all over the col
