contention between the operators and

form what II provides for are new. This

vides that all disputes arising shall be

Or, who says he can open up at small
expense route from the mouth of the
Copper river by which the Klondyke
may be reached by a journey Of not
much more than 800 miles from the
coast.
The route which he proposes will start
inland from the mouth Of the Copper
river, near the Miles glacier, about
twenty-five miles east Of the entrance
to Prince William sound. He says the
Copper river is navigable for small
steamers for many miles beyond the
mouth of its principal eastern tributary
called on the maps the Chillyna river,
which is itself navigable for a cOnsid-
cradle distance. From the head Of navi-
CATION on the Chillyna, Mr.. Lewis says
either a highway or a railroad could be
constructed without great difficulty or
very heavy grades through what the
natives call the "low pass probably the
Scolio pass. From this pass the road
would follow the valley of the White
river to the point where it empties into
the Yukon on the edge Of the Klon-
