Ammunition making is a great art and
there are few men in the world who are
skilled in it, The superintendent OF the am
munition department of the Winchester Re
peating Arms Co., New Haven, Ct, is ac-
knowledged to be the leading authority. on
ammunition making in the world. His
great skill and constant care has placed Win
chester ammunition ahead Of all other
makes. For uniformity, reliability and
strong shooting qualities, it is uncqualled.
The great demand for Winchester ammun-
ton makes it easy to buy even in the most
out of the way parts of the world. Win

DOG SLEDGE GOING TO THE KLONDYKE.
From a Phi biography

1t is assumed that there does not ex-
list the slightest doubt as to the Klon-
dyke region being well within Canadian
territory. Although it is only within
the last few months that the Yukon dis
trict has sprung into notoriety, the
Canadian government surveyors have
been there for many years. In 1887 an
expedition was sent by the interior de-
partment to explore that part of the
northwest territories drained by the
Yukon river. The expedition was I'M
der the charge of Dr. George NJ. Daw-
son, now director of the Dominion
Geological survey, and of Mr.. William
Ogiyie, who had had previous experi-
cnce in exploring and surveying the
northwest. Their chief task was TO
! mark out the one hundred and forty-frst
meridian of longitude, which is desig-
mated by treaty as the boundary line
between the United States and Canada
from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic
ocean. Mr.. Ogilvie determined, by
series of lunar observations, the point
n which the Yukon river is intersected
by the one hundred and forty-frst
meridian, and marked the same on the
ground. lie also determined where the.
boundary line crosses Forty Mile creek.
the western afiluent of the Yukon in
the collaborating district. The Canadian
surveyors reported at the time that lin
proximity TO the boundary line there ex-
listed extensive and valuable placer
mines" and in view of this fact they
made their observations with special
care. The United States government
was invited to make joint survey, and |
the invitation has been repeated since, |
but up TO this time there has been no |
disposition to take advantage of it.
The boundary, according 10 the sur
yeyors, crosses Forty-Mile creek %
miles west of the point where it flows
into the Yukon. Fort Cudahy. which IS
situated at the confluence Ct the Yukon
and Forty-Mjle creek, is. therefore. cor
siderably within the Canadian side Of
the boundary. The Klondyke river flows
into the Yukon from the cast. so miles
higher up than Fort Cudahy. near Fort
Reliance, and it is, therefore, within
territory for the whole of its
course.
The Dominion government has an.
nounced that it will publish a summary
Fl some further reports which have
been received at the interior depart
nent from Mr.. Ogilvie. In these re-
ports Mr.. Ogilyie speaks at length of the
