Boundary Lines.
The government is spending much
money at the present time in surveying
and marking various boundary lines to
accurately determine the boundaries of
various states and also the boundary
between our Alaskan possessions sid
those of Canada. Preparations for mark
ING the Alaskan boundary have been
nearly completed. and the engineers who
VIII form the joint survey party of Can
ada and the lulted States viii soon be
announced. The actual work of placing
the boundary monuments VIII ne CONF

that part of the boundary which is in
most urgent need of Immediate 0CTnar-
cation. Accordingly the surveyors viii
begin he the Chilcat region where there
IS considerable mining development and
where disputes and liuEduOn are Pretty

During this season the boundary line

During the coming season. Mr.. T. F.

survey and establish monuments on the
boundary line between Wyoming South
