Dawson. March 26. News of the freezing to death of John E. Meytyr in the koyukuk was received by mail yes terday in letter from Allan it. Joy, formerly of Dawson. Mr. Joy wrote from Coldfoot Feb. 10. He says:
 John B Meytyr, Frenchman, was frozen to death on the trail at 70 below zero He was buried here Sunday.
 "The KoyullulS river is so overilowed that nearly all travel is suspended, and we hear little from the operations on the creeks.
 The north fork country is for the most part shallow ground, and cannot be worked to advantage in the winter. But considerable prospecting is being done on several Mascot claims. Good pay is being found, and it is predicted that the greater part of the creek will be worked out the coming summer
 "Where the ground is deep there are several shafts in which no frozen ground is encountered. There are many claims that have taken out big dumps, and quite large wash-up is counted on, particularly on Gold and Vermont creeks, where the heaviest winter work is being done, and where every claim is on the paystreak and working a full crew.
 Hammond river seems to be spotted but some very rich ground is being worked there.

 Later in the day Mr. Cromwell. gen. eral counsel of the new Panama Canal Co.,, made the following statement:
 'It gives me satisfaction to confirm the fact that, after the fullest exchange of views, l have reached complete understanding with the attorney gen eral upon the points involved in the contract for the purchase by the United States of the Panama canal and proper ties. I have. therefore, today. under the full powers and discretion with which the company vested me, reached a satisfactory understanding with the government on all points, and have signed and delivered all documents which make that contract complete and binding upon the sovernmeht. and the canal company. This action absolutely assures to the United States the acqui- sition and completion of the Panama canal, as well as the control of the rail road. The rest is only matter of de- tail and time.
 "The only delay in the taking of actual possession by the United States arises from the necessary formal ratifi- cation of the treaty by the United States and Colombia: but in the mean time the Panamal Canal Co. will con- tinue the work of construction upon the isthmu, in accordance with the plans of Ithe isthmian canal commission and
