Old Alaskan Maps.

New York, Aug A special to the
Herald from Washington says: All the
evidence obtainable here discredits the
assertion OF John Zachart, mining expert,
that monuments were erected along the
boundary line in 1883 The library of con-
gress, the coast and geodetic and the hy-
geographic departments have collections
Of maps of the disputed territory, but
there is none such as is referred to by Mr.,
Zachart, and none was found by the dip
lomatic representatives to Russia who
searched for boundary line evidence in st.
Petersburg. If the boundary had been
marked by monuments prior to the ces-
sion Of Alaska to the United States some
reference would naturally have been
made TO them in the treaty, but in it there
is none. 1t is believed here that If such
monuments existed they would have been
discovered recently by the miners.
The government map collections bring
out one important fact that is, that all
the old maps. American and British, To-
cate the boundary just as is ella imed by
the United States official admiralty
charts, bearing date from 1902 to the time
of the cession of Alaska, differing some
what as to the continuation of the coast
and the islands that lie along it,, but all
show the boundary line parallel to the
windings of the coast, 10 marine leagues
from the shore, just as it is asserted by
the United States today it should run.
Evidently the Russian government
never had any doubt as to the location Of
the boundary. But the British govern
ment also held the same views. British
admiralty charts from the earliest to the
latest accessible, that of 1887, mark the
boundary the same as in these maps. The
Lynn canal and Portland channel became
important highways to the interior, and
the British Columbia chief commissioner
of lands and works got out a map on
which he ran line which he called the
Undetermined boundary" This was
drawn so as to give Canada both Port
land channel and Lynn canal She set up
this contention that the map makers had
located Portland channel wrong, and that
the real Portland channel was what is
known as Pehm canal. Interesting light
is thrown on this claim to Portland chan
mel by British admiralty chart of 1865
the year after the cession of Alaska. Com
mander Pendcr of the royal navy made an
elaborate survey Of Portland channel. He
rot 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.
