seems 10 be cut out Of British COlum-

way near the pass over the mountains
TO the Klondike and Dawson and 1t
extends for more than 500 miles. It
consists of many large islands and 4
strip Of mainland about so miles wide
which runs from the Pacific ocean to
the crest Of the coast mountain range
the whole making a territory as big
as South Carolina.
This district is known as Southeast

own vegetation and its own peculiar
products and resources. It is covered
with green from one years end TO the
other and Il differs from the great in

was through inland waters and the
