There has never Deen the slightest
possibility Of adjusting the Alaska
boundary dispute In a manner that
would satisfy the mining interests In
that territory. No matter where the
line Is finally established, II Is certain
to call forth vigorous protests from Ca.
madam as well as American miners. 1t
Is not probable. therefore, that the pro.
test Of the miners against the work Of
the international surveyors. which has
recently been completed, will receive
serious consideration ut Washington.
This survey has been made under the
provisions Of the mOdus vivendi, which
went into effect last October and which
was adopted by our State Department
aud by Great Britain. 1t was made by
engineers representing both govern.
ments, the representative Of this gov.
ernment being o. II. Tittman, assist.
ant superintendent OF the coast and
geodetlc survey bureau. The boundary
line established by the international
surveyors cedes to Great Britain the
northern half Of the Porcupine gold
mining district, throwing much Of the
Dalton toll road leading to POrcupins
City into Canadian territory. This Is
In strict accordance with the instruc.
lions set forth In the modus vivendi for
a provisional demarkation of the line.
1t will be remembered that the mOdus
vivendi when adopted last October was
considered entirely favorable to the
United States. In fact, 1t Occasioned
much dissa abstraction In Ottawa, where
1t was claimed that the British g0v-
eminent In order to maintain friendly
relations with the United States had
needlessly sacrificed the interests of
Canada. BY this m0dus vivendi the
divisional line ON the west pass, by
which the Dalton trail Is reached, was
placed twenty-five and a quarter miles
above Pyramid HarbOr. which was re-
garded under the treaty as tide-water
mark. thus not allowing the Canadians
to reach any point on the Lynn Canal.
No permission was given for a free
port or for free transfer across Ameri-
can territory OF Canadian goods
other than miners equipments. More
than this no reasonable American
could ask. 1t Ia true that the mOdus
vivendi comedies a portion OF the POr.
cupine district to the Canadians, but II
does not yield the advantages Of a port
on Lynn Canal, for which the Canadi.
