CLOSING THE ATLIY D1GGIvos.

Canadian Government Forbids All Pros

geant OF the Canadian mounted police. arrived
from the Klondike country to-day with the
news that the Canadian Government had
closed the Atlin country up until June next,
forbiddinG all prospecting.
The reason alleged is that the question of
whether the rich Atlin diggings are In British
Columbia or In the Northwest Territories has
caused endless complication. The laws Of
both provinces are entirely different. Some
claims are staked under one law. some under
another. Many. will suffer injustice. as the
size OF claims allowed differ greatly.
