KLONDikE MAY BE OURS.
Explorer Mansfield Declares That the
Whole of the Rich Gold Country Il
Embraced in American Soil.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 21.-Richard
Mansfield White, explorer and mine
owner, has created a sensation on
the coast by declaring that the whole
of the Klondike is American. He
first makes the point that the interna-

dispute is now going on, cannot be
less than ten marine leagues from the
sea. He also contends as a result
of this, that the whole of Yukon val
ley, including K1ondike, according to
the mountain summit scheme, should
be part of Alaska proper, and in the
domain of the United States.

the opportunity to proceed to the
point where negotiations will be held
