YUKON MINERS MAD.
Charge Canadian Customs Inspectors
with Plund ring Their Tent,

Charge Canadian Gus 'oms Inspectors
with Piund ring Their Tent.
DYEA, Alaska. Dec. 27.-American
miners throughout the Yukon country
are beginning to complain bitterly of
what they term the rapacity or the Ca.
madam customs inspectors. +. K.
Scott, an American prospector, who has
been in the Lake Linderman district
for the last three years, said:
"The Canadians have taken posses.
sion of United States land and are de-.
manding high duties on all articles
bought by the Americans within elk
mouths. They are even levying toll on
the clothing worn by our miners
These Canadian officers have left their
post of entry at Tagish House. and are
plundering every American tent and
cabin on American soil, 20 miles inside
the limit of Uncle Sans territory. II
Americans fail to pay the duty de.
manded their outfits are contiscated
"Tbe Canadians have taken posses.
sion Of the whole country within ten
miles OF the seaports and have nego-
tiated sales of American land and Tim
ber, They have sold licenses for the
sale OF liquors within 20 miles of the
coast.
"One American near here had an
outfit that cost 40. The Canadian GUS
toms inspectors demanded $40 duty on
it. When the American declared that
he had not so much money the officer
told him he had better go back to the
United States, as paupers were not
wanted III this country. This happened
on American soil, as we CLAIM it to be
here"
