Claim is Made That the Gold

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept "A let
ter Just received from John L. Smith,
United States commissioner at Dyea
and S1aguay intimates that govern
ment officials now on the way to the
upper Yukon may by their official acts
bring on serious international complica-
tons with the Dominion government
He says:
1T is announced here by a deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim
20 a large portion of the Yukon gold
fields which have heretofore been sup
posed to be in British territory, and
that the territory which is ANAimed as
being within Alaska includes Dawson
City.
THE basis of the claim to be made
by the United States officials to the dis
puted territory is in the fact that the
boundary line has never been deter
mined and the United States authori-
ties are claiming to possess inforua ton
as to the surveys made by the Canadian
government that fixed Dawson City and
a large portion of the gold district with
in Alaska

Manager J. J. Frey has issued a circu-
lar demanding a reduction in the tele-
graph Of every department
In this circular Mr.. Frey states that
it has been found that a great many
communications are now sent by tele-

by train mail, and that hereafter all
conmunicat lions prepared before four
o'clock each day, to which a reply IS not
absolutely necessary before O'Clock
the next morning, must be sent by train
and not by telegraph.
The circular states that the wires
of the company are now overcrowded
with communications which are not of
sufficient Importance to be sent by teIe-
graph, and that important communica-
lions suffer in consequence The circu-
lar is very emphatic in stating that
this practice must be stopped, and that
the superintendent of telegraph will re-
port all violations to the general man

1t is said that the wires of the COM
pany have been reSOrted to in the past
by the heads of the different depart
ments and that executive business of
