A PERiLOUS JOURNEY.

whirlpool; rising again, only to I've
caught by the current that was pouring
hundreds OF thousands of cubic feet
of water into the valley below, and
hurled through the great sluicegate
opening and carried 200 feet through
the foaming rapids OF the open chan.
mel, to he finally rescued alive and in =
fair way to recovery was the experience
of Peter Simth, OF Joliet. Michael
Ryan. who is experimenting the work
ut the controlling works, and his al.
sistant, John Herman. escaped the
same perilous journey by narrow mar.
gin.
The whirlpool in the windaae basin
has been cause by the raising OF the
bear.trsp dam and the opening OF the
sluice gates, through which it was
originally intended that the greater
portion of the $50, 900 cubic feet of
water should flow every minute. The
bear trap had been raised above the
surface of the basin in order that the
big force OF men working on the false
work Of the proposed suspension bridge
could proceed with the operations with.
out endangering their lives.
Smith,. Ryan and Herman were in
boat crossing over the basin, and had
their back to the whirlpool. Suddenly
the boat was sucked in to tho mael.
strom. Herman and Ryan sprang into
the water and swan to the shore. but
Smith was thrown by the force of the
whirling boat into the whirlpool, dis.
appearing from sight Instantly.
Down through 20 feet OF water he
shot. With tremendous force he was
caught by the current and hurled
through the gates. Luckily his knee
was the only portion of his body to
come in contact with anv of the ma
soliry. otherwise he certainly would
have been crushed to death. Below
the gate lie was caught in the rapids
and carried 200 feet through the swirl.
ing, turbulent waters, tossed about like
rubber ball.
Finally his feet struck the rocks in
the shallow, and he mana ged to hold
on until rescuers reached him.

Anne ricams Are Not Satisfied With the
Alaska Canadian SWrvey-Loss
Good Territory.

Skagway, Alaska. July 3O.-The
work OF ielimiting the provisional
boundary in the disputed Alaska. Cana.
dian territory having been completed
in that part crossing the Dalton trail
and touching the Porcupine district,
the Americans in the district find that
they have lost large part of what
they believed WAS rightfully American
territory. The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the
last few weeks by O. II. Tittman, Of
Washington, u. c., and w. +. King.
OF Ottawa, and assistants. who have
simply followed instructions rs set
forth in the modus vivendi agreed to
professionally some months ago by Sec.
rotary Hay, on the part OF the United
States, and the British representatives,
after the adjournment Of the joint high
commission.
The survey and demarkation Of the
line leaves nearly one.half Of the Por.
cupine gold mines in the British terri.
tory, aud it has been the general opin.
ion for u long time that the mines-in
fact. the entire Porcupine district
was on the American side. Much OF
the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu.
pine city now lies within Canadian ter.
ritory also; that is, is on the Canadian
side OF the iron monuments set on the
provisional line.
The American miners in the Pcfe..
pine having watched the development
of the work OF delimittng and marking
the boundary, were no aroused over the
result Of so much mining district being
left ON tfjs British side that they were
not long in addressing n protest to
President Mckinley. Copies OF the
protest have been sent to the chambers
OF commerce of Seattle, Skagway. San
Francisco and Portland, with a request
for corporation.
The commission will be in the vicin.
ity Of Skagway n month, delimiting
the provisional line on White Pass and
Chilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placer
mines, it is estimated, will yield $780,
600 this year. Work Of sluicing. ny.
draulicking and other kinds OF mining
is carried on in the district.
