TAXING MINERS OUTFITS.

Fay 05 Fer Cent. on Their Goods.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-A complaint has
been communicated to tho Treasury officials
regarding the taxing of American miners out
fits by the Canadian Government, and 1t will
probably DO referred to the State Department
as o 1T subject for diplomatic negotiations.
Under the existing Canadian regulations miners
outfits carried across the border from the
United States. which arc intended for personal
use only In tho Klondike gold folds, are not
dutiable. Despite this supposed provision,
information has reached the Treasury
Department TO the effect that many
miners from this country. crossing, Cana
dian territory in order to reach tho
Klondike. have been required to pay a duty Of
35 per cent. ad valorem on their outfits. every
article having been subjected 10 u rigid scrutiny.
Complaint is made that the Canadian merchants
of Victoria have agents in Seattle soliciting
trade by assuring the miners that II they buy in
territory they will be obliged TO pay duty on
them. while. II they make their purchases in
Victoria and carry them across American ter.
ritory no duty will be charged. The principal
point where these illegal assessments arc said to
be made Ii at Lake Tagish.
