What the expansion of mileage of Our

The opinion is it is due to previous in
accurate charts, tlle present being the first
regular and reliable survey of the region.
The finding of new channel will effect
saving of about 400 OF 500 miles in

will permit ships of moderate draught to
Proceed directly into the Yukon from the

five hundred miles to safe landing before
transshipping to smaller boats, which will
go the remainder of the way up the river.

TO MAKE A COMPARISON.
Light Committee Orders n Trial OF
the Weisbach Light.

The Committee on Light has au-
thorized the Welsbach Lighting Company
to place their patent appliance in half
a dozen or more gas-lamps In different
parts Of the city. The object Of this
order is to make a comparison between
the gas and electric lights. as the COM
pany claims that by means of their
patent the former may be made equal TO
the latter.
If the experiment proves satisfactory
the committee will ask the Council TO
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of dispensing
with the use of electric lights on the
streets, as this plan would mean an i'm
mense saving TO the city.
The trial will be made for the first
time tomorrow night. There will be
two lights at one of the entrances TO the
City Hall, so that councilmen will have
the chance OF making their own COMPARE
sons. Other lights will be scattered over
the city.
