THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
State Department Has No ConHrma-
tion of the Semitic Report.

The State Department has received no
confirmation Of the report from Seattle
that international surveyors have located
q boundary line between Alaska ard
northwest Canada. According 10 press de-
spztches the boundary gives TO the British
the northern half OF the American Porcu-
pine mining district. The surveyors VINO
are said 10 have located the line are
o. T. Tittman. of Wu-h!ngton, and W T.
King, OF Ottawa who followed instruc-
tiuns set forth in the modus vivendi agreed
TO a year ago by Secretary Hay and Lord
PauncefOte.
Officials of the State Department are In
clined to believe that the line mentioned
in the dispatches is merely a preliminary
one established by the surveyors as a basis
for future work. According to the story
which comes from Seattle great indlgna-
ton prevails in southeastern Alaska over
the cCssiOn of the POrcupine mines. A Pc
tition has been forwarded to the Presi-
dent, signed by 1i5 miners, appealing for
the correction Of what is termed a costly
and unwarrantei mistake"
The petitioners represent that the m m-dus
vivendi has permitted the British to seize
thousands of acres of the public domain
containing rich deposits of gold. All of the
klaheena River and Glacier and Boulder
Creeks, upon which Americans have spo MT
thousands of dollars in prospecting are
taken away from their rightful proprietors.
Iron posts demarking the boundary are
crowded up to the foot hills crossing and
recrossing the Dalton Toll Road. thus cut
ting off entrance to an exit from Ameri-
can mining camps.
"All this" say the petitioners makes
oar future look uninviting. We protest to
You, Mr.. President, against the unjust
seizure of the klaheena above KluckW an
which is only ten miles from tidewater.
whereas we are entitled to the 90 -ntry
twenty miles beyond Hluckwan, including
the Klaheena River and Boulder and Por-
cupine Creeks. upon which Americans lave
made valuable discoveries at great expense
OF time and money.
Did you not say that you were not in
favor OF cedng one inch of public domain
Here are thousands of acres OF rich mining
ground that the British are enclosing with
in their iron posts VIII you not Mr.. Pres
ident. act with the people and see that
those posts are moved back?"
