Dick Meyers has finished the well
being drilled for the CHARTERS Oil
Company on the Adam Shriver farm,
and has dry hole. 1t went down
three thousand three hundred feet,
being very much deeper than the rest
IN that vicinity. The well was a hoo
doc, and had taken sixteen months to
drill. The rig was moved twice and
the hole was begun over again four
times. All the bad luck that could
possibly happen took place, and it
seemed that it would never be finished.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
iced For Settling 1t Quickly to Avert
Eiuhts with Canadians

Need For Settling 1t Quickly to Avert
Fights With Canadians.
Washington. March 21.-,The British
ferred yesterday with Secretary Hay in
reference ii is understood, to a modus
vivcndi to be observed along the Alaskan
border iii order to obviate the possibility
of clash pending the final determine
ton Of the border. The need of this
had been emphasized within the last few
days by reports of battle between the
Canadian and the American prospectors
on the Porcupine river. These reports
have caused considerable uneasness in
official circles in London, and efforts have
been made to learn the facts. There has
been no official information, however,
either here or in London. Just such
clash has been expected, and Eae re-
ports have served to direct the attention
of officials to the need of cffecting u
border arrangement.
The preliminary move in this direction
was made ms soon as the Anglo-A
commission adjourned without settling
the border question. Sir Julian then
suggested that n temporary arrange
mcnt he made. This would maintain the
status quo. each side making no further
advance pending final agreement on the
boundary. A temporary line probably
would he run by the two governments.
This world not affect permanent in
forests. but would serve as a legal bar
ricr between the lawlcss fortune seekers
in that locality. The plan is favorably
received Oh both sides and is likely to
be carried into effect, although no agree.
ment has been entered into thus far.

They watched the actions of the

was slow, and he appearedsto be tax

GOVERNMENT AID
Badly Needed by - Thousand or More
Miners on, tx otzebne sound Alaska.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 22.-From the
steamer Brunswick passengers, jus arrived
here from Alaska, 1t IS learned that pes
senger is on his way from Kotzebue Sound
to Washington, ID. c., on behalf of 1000
miners, said 10 be stranded in the Kotze-
bue district. He will ask the government
to send revenue cutters to Kotzebue
Sound, and he is provided with proof that
unless the government help is given, many
lives will be- lost Twelve hundred people
went into the Kotzebue country well out
fitted for the search for gold. Two hum
dre6 succeeded in getting over the snow
last winter. Many died en- route There
are now nearly 1000 people on the shore
of the Sound waiting for chance to come
home.
No merchant vessels will run TO that dis
trict this year and the whalers, which call
in there for fresh water, will not take
passengers. If the miners had the means
of getting home it is doubtful If they could
pay their passage. Many of them have
been sick with scurvy and are going to
float down the several streams running
into the Sound with the intention of wait
ing for government help.
