the western afiluent of the Yukon in
the gOld-beariug district. The Canadian
surveyors reported at the time that -in
proximity to the boundary line there ex-
isted 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 il.
The boundary, according to the sur
seyors. crosses Forty-Mile creek %
miles west of the point where it flows
into the Yukon. Fort Cudahy, which Is
situated at the confluence Of the Yukon
aud Forty-Mile creek. is. therefore. con-
siderably within the Canadian side of
the boundary. The kloudy ke river lows

consequent numbness would be much
reduced

that over half of the wheels will be
