A BUBBLE BURSTS.
Investors In the Kootenai Water Sup
ply Company Are Left

New York, Aug. 4-The Herald says:
with apparently nothing to show for
their investment of $67, 1872. many stock
holders in the Kootenai Water Supply
company of Waneta, B. c., are clamor-
ing for a legal investigation of the COM
panys affairs.
Money poured into the Golfers of this
concern from nearly every part of the
United States, although the chief COM
pIainants are residents of New York
and New Jersey.
Most of the Complaints are directed
against the Rev. Lewis r. Streeter, now
pastor of the Williams Avenue NJ E.
church, South Brooklyn, and through
whom many shareholders invested;
Stuart W. Cowan, a lawyer of Mount
Vernon, and George J. Goodhue, man
ager of the company, whose present To-
cation could not be learned yesterday
THE kOotenai Water Supply COM
pany, according to its prospectus, was
organized under the laws of Arizona, on
September y. 1894. 1t was capitalized
at Zoo, 600 in one dollar shares. Its
main office was in Rochester, N. Y, and
its leased mines and property in Wane-
ia, B. c., the west KOOtenai mining dis
trict. Officers of the company were
given as John r. Strauchen, president;
H. NJ. Goodhue, vice president; NJ. w.
Rundel, secretary and treasurer, and
George J GOOdhue, manager and attOr-
ney- Directors were Stuart w Cowan,
Strauchen, NJ. W. Rundel and H. NJ.
Goodhue, Rochester.
According to the prospectus the COM
pany had, under a ten year lease with
privilege of indefinite renewal, all pro-
perties owned by the Kootenai Hydrau-
lie Mining company. including ten pla-
GER claims, avera ging so acres each.
Promises We're held out, aside from
the returns of the mines, of an assur-
ed net income of 500 a day from leas-
ing water and big profits to be obtained
from the sale of town property.
Big profits, according to the prospec-
tors, were assured by tests. It is I'M
qualifedIy believed, it was explained,
that the company's lease upon its pla-
Ger claims alone is of great value.
Upon these representations many
persons invested. Shareholders who
have made careful investigation esti-
mate that at least 100000 was paid in
to the company's treasury. A request
from the officers for payment of a 2
per cent assessment, however, did not
meet with general favor among share
holders although it took in 5000.
THE investors are dubious about real
izing on their shares and some of them
use strong language in speaking of the
promoters

discovered recently by the miners
The government collections bring out
one important fact; that is, that all the
old maps. American and British, locate
the boundary just as is claimed by the
United States. Official admiralty charts,
bearing date from 1902 to the time OF
the cession Of Alaska, differ somewhat
as to the confguration Of the coast ana
the islands that lie along it, but all
show the boundary line parallel TO the
windings of the coast, ten marine
leagues from the shore, just as 1t is as
serted by the United States today II
evidently the Russian government
never had any doubt as to the location
of the boundary But the British COY
eminent also held the same views Brit
ish admiralty charts, from the earliest
to the latest accessible, that of 1887
mark the boundary the same as on the
American maps.
It was not until 1895 that Canada
raised the question whether the boun-
dairy line ran where the United states,
Great Britain. Russia and all the map
makers of the world had uniformly
placed it, Gold was discovered on the
upper Yukon. The Lynn canal and
Portland channel became important
highways to the interior and the Brit
ism Columbia, chief commissioner of
lands and works got out map on
which he ran a line which had called
the Undetermined boundary" This
was drawn so as to give Canada
both Portland channel and Lynn canal.
He set up the contention that the map
makers had located Portland channel
wrong and that the real Portland chan
mel was what is known as Benin canal.
Interesting light is thrown on this
claim to Portland channel by a British
admiralty chart of 1S6S-the year after
the cession of Alaska. to the United
States. Commander Pender Of the
Royal navy, made an elaborate survey
of Portland channel. He had not only
called it that, but in naming mountains
on each side of the channel he gave
British names to the mountains on the
south side and American names to
those on the north side.
