WASHINGTON. July 3o.-Interest In the con.
troversy of the United States with England
over the disputed Alaskan boundary line has
been increased by the gold discoveries in tho
klondike region, and great regret Is felt by
officials Of the Administrator at the failure Of
the Senate to act upon the long-delayed bound
airy line treaty. 1t has been before the Foreign
Relations Committee since early last winter,
but no one seemed interested enough In the
matter to have it disposed of. Now the i'm.
portance Of the exact boundary line Is only too
clearly manifest
Gen. Dufiield. Superintendent of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey. in a long statement Of the
conflicting claims Of the United States and
Canada, says that on all maps, from 1928 down
to 1884, the boundary line had been shown as in
general terms parallel to tho winding Of the
coast and thirty.fve miles from 1t, but that in
1884 an official Canadian map showed a marked
DETECTION on this line at its south end. Since
that time the dispute as to the true line from
Mount st. Elias 10 the southeast has continued.

United States surveyors employed on this
boundary line, made recently, says:
In substance, these determinations throw the
diggings at the mouth OF Forty. Mile Creek
within the territory of the United States. The
whole valley of Birch Creek, another most valu-
able gold prod ucing part Of the country, Is also
in the United States. Most OF the go d is to the
west Of the crossing Of the l4lst meridian at
Forty Mile Creek; II we produce the l41st
meridian on a chart, the mouth Of Miller's
Creek, a tributary Of Sixty Mile Creek and a
valuable gold region, is Ave miles west in an
air line. or seven miles according to the wind.
ing of the stream, all within the territory OF the
United States. In substance, the only places
in the Yukon region where gold In quantities
has been found are therefore all to the west of
the boundary. line between Canada and the
United States"
According to the detailed statement of Gen.
Duffield, with regard to the outlines Of Cana.
dian and United States maps. the claims OF
England as to tho boundary line are directly
opposite to those of the United States.
