GETS VALUABLE GOLD MINES
ins'ricans In the Porcupine District
Find That We Have Lost Much

Was Ours.

Seattle, Wash, July 24.-Advices from
Skaguay, Alaska, via the steamer Rosa
lie, say that the work of delimiting the
provisional boundary in the disputed
Alaska-Canadian territory having been
completed in that part crossing the Dal-
ton trail and touching the Porcupine dis
trict, the Americans in the district find
that they have lost large part Of what
they believe was rightfully American ter
ritoly.
The survey has been run and the mon
umcnts set within the last few weeks by
O. ii. Tittman Of Washington and w. =.
King Of Ottawa and assistants, who have
simply followed instructions set forth in
the modus vivendi agreed to professionally
some months ago by Secretary Hay on
the part of the United States and British
representatives after the adjournment Of
the joint high commission.
The survey and demarcation of the line
leave nearly one-half of the Porcupine
gold mines in the British territory, and
i has been the general opinion for long
time that the mincs-in fact, the entire
Porcupine distict-were on the Ameri-
can Side. Much Of the Dalton toll road,
lending 70 Porcppine City, now lies with
in Canadian territory also that is, on
the Canadian side OF the iron monuments
set on the provisional lines.

suit Of so much Of the mining district be-
ing left on the British side that they
We're not long in addressing protest to
President Mckinley. Copies of the pro-
test have been sent to the chambers of
commerce of Seattle, Skaguay, San
Francisco and Portland with request
for cooperation.
The commission will be in the vicinity
Of Skaguay month delimiting the pro-
visional line on White pass and Chilkoot
pass.
The Porcupine placer mines, it is esti-
mated, will yield $250,000 this year.
Sluicing, hydrauicking and other kinds
of mining are carried on in the district
Other adyices brought from the north

A TRUE HEROINE.

| Miss Riki Wakayama is the name Of
a young girl of is years living in the
| village of TOtsuka, Japan, whose de-
voted conduct toward her parents has
just been officially rewarded by the
governor of TOkyo-fu handing her di-
plOma Of praise and a certain sum of
money. The story runs as follows:
In the days Of ner DabyhoOd ner fam
lily were living in fair way; indeed,
her father is a man of education, being
the holder of a decoration which was
given him after the civil war of %
years ago. But subsequently fortune
began to turn against them when they
moved to the place above named from
NIito City, where they had originally
lived. By the time Rikt had entered on
her sixth year the family had become
so reduced in their circumstances that
the father had to pull a jinrikisha to
earn them a living, and, to make things
worse, the mother became about the
same time a helpless invalid, having
contracted incurable rheumatism.
From that time onward for nine long
years Riki remained the ever constant
nurse and companion of her mother,
and little housekeeper and a kitchen
maid during her fathers absence, al
ways denying to herself, first. childish,
and then girlish, pastimes, both in
doors and out of doors, which. even in
the midst of utter poverty, are gener-
ally sought after by the young in the
growing period of life. There was a
de1icacy her mother always liked, and
she went many time several miles to
fetch it for her Her mothers pain in
creased, and she often sat up whole
nights, robbing herself Of needed sleep,
after a hard days work. Her mothers
smile was hers, and everything hers
was her mother's-her only wish being
that her mother might recover.
But heaven decreed that the mother
must not, and she died on Jan. II last.
Rikf's heart was broken, but she must
now live for her father, and she is said
to be working harder than ever at
home doing piecework to tighten the
burden of her sole remaining parent.
This is the story of this noble young
woman which reached the ears of the
authorities and brought her the de-
served honor and reward above alluded
to. It may be added that in the midst
of all her sorrow and trouble she had
had time to teach herself reading and
writing. Her mother, though an in
valid, was able to help her in this mat
ter, having had some education, like
her husband, who also assisted his
daughter at night.
