and in case the amount mined and
taken from any single claim does en-
coed $500 per week, there shall be levied
and collected a royalty of 10 per cent

LINE To AIAONA
Canadian Government Makes a.
Proposal for Telegraphic
Communication,
Which Has Been Taken Under
Consideration by This
Government.
Also Ready to Establish a Mail
Line and Keep 1t Open
All Winter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Cana.
dian government has submitted formal
proposals to this government to estab-
lish communication with the Klondyke
region in Alaska by the construction OF
a telegraph line from the head of win.
ter navigation on the Lynn canal into
the center of the Klondyke district. The
proposals have been taken under ad.
visement. They have been approved
by the British principal secretary OF
state for foreign affairs and were for
warded by the governor general OF
Canada, through the British embassy,
to the state department and referred to
the interior department.. There the
papers are locked up pending considera.
ton.
The proposals, while reserving the
rights of either country pending the
settlement of the international boundary
line between the United States and
Canada south of Mount St. Elias, urge
the expediency of establishing a perma-
nent route giving access to the interior
at all seasons of the year. The most
feasible route, in the judgment Of the
Canadian authorities, would be to start
from the head of winter navigation on
the Lynn canal 1.-THE body of water run
ming from neal Juneau up beyond Dyea
and Chilcat, forming part Of the present
overland route) crossing the mountains
by White Pass or any other pass which
may seem more accessible, and proceed
northward to Fort Selkirk and thence
to Klondyke.
The Canadian government asserts it.
readiness to undertake to open com
munication by constructing a telegraph
line from the head of winter navigation
on the Lynn canal, traversing a dis
lance of so miles, across the summit o.
the mountain range, where a trail cal
be followed to Fort Selkirk and Klon
dyke. That government also signige
its intention, in case Re proposition
are adopted, to erect suitable places TO
shelter at periods from 40 to 90 mile
along the lire and keep up dog train
during the winter months for the con
veyance of the mails to and from tn
interior.

THE TEACHERS BAZAAR.
For II Ar: Progressing
Very FavUrably.

The arrangements for the bazaar sale 10 aid
in the establishment Of Retirement Fund"
for the benefit OF the public school teachers
of the city, are progressing encouragingly.
The places for the scyefat booths in Infantry
hall are mostly assigned, and the contribu-
tions for the sale are already numerous and
coming forward every day. Those who pur-
chase household articles for common use or
for decoration at this sale will get full value
for their money and put so much into the
treasury of the fund.
''The Retirement Fund" is the name Of a
paper OF book. to be published for the aid of
the fund itself. This promises 20 be an i'm
teresting feature of the sale. The matter is
already in proof form, and shows that the
literary part of the paper will be OF much
value. The contributions are by graduates
of the high and grammar schools, and include
articles racy and witty and valuable for the
"reminiscences which they contain The pic
lures of the paper will be special feature.
Photographers Of the principals OF the high
ana grammar schools and of the governor,
the superintendent and others will appear.
The funds will be regularly increased in the
future by per cent Of the salaries OF the
active teachers, but some years must elapse
before an amount can be accumulated suf-
fioient TO be OF much service TO teachers who
may drop out from phy steal or other disabil-
ity. A little encouragement at the start viii
le much appreciated by those who are liable
10 become benefciaries of this fund.
