NEW YORK, March IA special
dispatch to the World from Vancouver,
B. c., says: Carl Slummerfelt, Ger
man who was "A passenger on the
steamer Tees, which has arrived here
from the Lynn canal, brought the news
that battle had been fought between
American and Canadian miners few
miles off the Dalton trail. Four men
are reported TO have been killed out

to have been seriously wounded.
When the alien mining law OF Bit
ish Columbia was enforced few
months ago, the American miners left
Atlin, II new Canadian gold district
and struck north. They found short
distance on the Dalton trail on the
Porcuplne river, a district rich in p.ac-
or gold. 1t was generally conceded
that the new plaCers were in American
territory, and the miners vowed that
no Canadian should stake a claim.
Some Canadian mounted policemen,
however, did stake claims on the Am
erican territory and justified their act
by moving the Canadian flag from
Mount Pleasant on the trail so as to
make the line take in rich part OF
the district.
They We're followed by at least forty
Canadian miners, who all located good
claims. a fortnight ago about 100 Am
crican miners held meeting and de-
Cidod to send notices to all Canadians
to leave the country within five days
The notices were sent out, but no heed
was paid to them.
Slummerfelt, who left the PorcupinC
river district two weeks ago. says:
Early on the morning of the sixth
day after the notice the American min
ers met and proceeded to the Canadian
camp. ! don't believe they intended
bloodshed. although they We're fully
