BOUNDARY MONUMENTS FOUND.
Alaska Prospectors Discover Them In
Location Mentioned by the Treaty.

Seattle. Wash, Oct. 29.-Advices
were received from Juneau, on the
steamer Dolphin, that the missing
Russian boundary monuments, which
have been so energstically searched
for by Lieutenant Emmons for the
last two seasons, had been discovered
by prospector of the Porcupine dis
trict.
Through his friendship with the
Chilkat Indians the prospector gained
information which gave him a clue to
the position of the first monument.
From this start he followed along and
discovered several more of the old
land marks, put up years ago by the
czar's followers. The line marked by
these monuments is about five miles
inland from Pleasant Camp, which is
seventeen miles from Klukwon. The
latter is five miles from tidewater on
the Chilkat river. This makes the
Russian survey line approximately
twenty.seven miles inland to the sum.
