SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE PRESS.
Copper City, Port Valdes,
Prince Williams Sound, Alaska.
May l, 1898.
The following is what Is actually
known up to date in regard to the Copper
River goldhelds.
The most practical route is by the
Valdes Pass over the Valdes glacier,
which necessitates long and laborious
tramp OF many weeks over snow and ice
such as we are now undergoing. The
Valdes glacier Is at the northeast corner
of Prince Williams Sound. 1t is 1927 miles
across this glacier, that is from the sea
level to the summit and 10 miles to Lake
Sheppard, across Lake Sheppard 6 miles
to river which has not been named
which enters into the Copper River 100
miles from its mouth. The river is not
navigable from here except in small
boats as it is full Of canyons and falls.
From the mouth of the Copper river the
salmon fishers navigate their small boats
70 miles. Until 1894 very little was
known of the Valdes glacier. Capt.
Abercrombie (under whom the United
States Survey party is now at work sur
veying the Copper river route1 informs
me that there have never been but five
white men over the glacier. Mr.. jackson,
one Of the five, gave me an account of his
crossing it in 1894 which can only b,
done with safety during thu months of
March, April and May, owing to
avalanches in the winter and cracks in
the glaciers in the summer There are
now about 200 men crossing or trying to
cross, many have given it ur and many
more will, some on account of the hard
ships, others being too timid to venture.
Our party from Portland of six went
into camp at the foot of the glacier on
April 20 and are now preparing to sled
pack our four tons of outfit consisting of
camp equipage, mining tools, boats and
provisions, over the So miles of snow and
ice which we shall encounter before we
reach the lake of which will write later.
We only have monthly mail service as
yet. Our first camp at the beach was
near the graves of the two miners who
were shot by the COW boy last fall. The
cow boy was hanged by the miners few
days afterward. All three are buried in
cottonwood grove near thu beach at Cop
per City.

The PRESIDENT EMBARRASSED.
Appropriation Committee Refuses
appropriation for Canadian Commission,


Washington, June 30. The President
oeeply concerned at the action of the
'naee appropriation comm ittee in strik-
-, s eo5 OF the sundry civil appropriation
v4e iCem appropriating $4,000 to defray
sAe expenses Of the joint commission to
Dc held at Ottawa, Canada, this fall to
enoeaVor to effect settlement of the
.sany different questions at issue between
~e United States and Canada.
Luis commission has been arranged by
ono secretary Of state and under the di
iec1lon of the President in answer to
what was believed by both of them to be
al almost unanimous popular demand.
There were many questions pending be-
tween the two governments that con-
.ainen possibilities OF serious complica-
ssions. Such for instance, the Alaskan
boundary question which on account of
ene development of the K1ondike coun-
Wy, mad become matter of the greatest
Importance
Ihena there were questions connected
with the Great Lakes boundaries, with
sne transit of goods in bond over Cana
ulan and American territory; and with
cne supply of bait to American fishermen.
me growing fraternal spirit between
the United States. on the one side and
Canada and England on the other, seemed
~ make the time suspicious for an early
settlement of these and other questions.
IN arranging for this commission the
resident was acting clearly within his
constitutional powers, SO the action of
the Senate committee has been received
with great surprise as indicating clear
purpose to interfere with the free exer-
else OF the constitutional treaty framing
function by the President.
1t is not believed by the administration
that the opposition to this commission
manifested in the Senate committee will
prevail in the Senate when attention is
drawn to the facts
President Mckinley will name the
American commissioners at an early date.
1t is understood that United States
senator, probably Senator Hoar, will be
among those designated to represent the
United States. It is quite likely also that
Mr.. John W. Kasson, Mr.. John W. Fos-
ter or possibly both will be on the COM
mission as each has taken part in the
preliminary negotiations.

to the warehouses were dozens of little
children, the majority Of them naked,
lying in the mud o. romping and play
ing while they awaited the hour of the
shops closing, to be taken home by
their parents. A little further on the
residence portion Of the port began,
and here I found many pretty little
homes, set far back in spacious lawns
and almost hidden behind the luXuriant
growth of palm and banana trees sur
rounding each villa. Over the arched
gates can always be seen the arms and
crest Of the family to which the Don
belongs and many of the escutcheons
are beautifully carved or painted over
the entrance.
Between these homes Of the lords OF
the island are stretches OF sugar cane,
banana groves and fields Of grain and
vegetables, dotted here and there with
toll cocoanut palms and immense cacti.
Along the roadside are the squalid
thatched huts Of the native Indians,
usually inhabited by pigs, dogs and
chickens as we'll as the ragged human
family of the tenant. About three
quarters of a mile from the wharf the
houses grow less frequent, and for the

Dlke-Building In Holland.

On the Holland coast great dikes are
built by the action of the wind The
sand becomes dry and drifts in lines
and eddies. The inhabitants took ad
vantage of this fact and, observing that
little mounds were formed wherever
there was an obstruction, they scooped
holes in the sand and placed therein
tufts of grass. These became more
substantial when they took root and
began to grow, and very soon the sand
was blown up against them, finally
covering them completely. The entire
surface of the beach was set cut with
plantations of these tufts and behind
them were rows of reeds also set in the
sand. The reeds appear to stop the
course of the sand drifts, the windrows
pilirg up about foot high around the
reed stalks. When this additional
height was gained the process of put
ting out grass tufts was again begun
and continued until the entire surface
WAS like a garden. Then the drifting
Of sand was allowed to proceed. This
process was repeated again and again
until enormous dikes were 2ormec. in

MetalilzinE Wood.

Much interest exists at present on
The subject of metallizing wood, and
each achievement in this line is of
great value as point in the progress
Of this art. One of the latest expert
ments is thus detailed in Paris pa
per: ''The wood is first immersed for
three or four days, as may be it's de-
gree Of permeability, in caustic aka
line lye, and thence passes immediately
into a bath of hydrosulphide Of cal
,ium, to which is added, after twenty
four or thirty-six hours, concentrated
solution of sulphur in caustic potash.
The duration of this bath is about for
.y-eight hours, and it's temperature is
from fiftyfive to fifty degrees. Finally
the wood is immersed for thirty or
sorty hours in hot solution of acetate
Of lead" From this bath the wood
goes to a drying room, where the
moisture is removed at moderate
temperature, then it goes into the
hands of the burnisher, who uses a
piece of white wood as rubber, until
The surface is highly polished and
shines with a metallic luster. The de-
gree of brilliancy is to some extent ef-
.ected by applications of metallic pow
der or the use of zinc, lead or tin rub
bers. Experiments with bronze pow
ders are being made to see whether
during the rubbing the wood may not
not take on the color of the applied
powder.

The first sight of the city of Ponce
