WOULD PROLONG RIVER NAVIGATION BY YOEON IMPROVEMENT SCHEME
OUTLINED PLAN COMMENTARIES BUILDING BIG DAM AT MILES CANYON OR NEAR MARSH LAKE STORE WATER AND THUS LENGTHEN wHITEHORsI2DAwSoNNLAIo STEAMSHIP SERVICE THREE WEEKS

I when it does occur it is of short duration-too short to be much of factor in handling any great vol ume of tonnage.
 The reason why the river between Whitehorse and HOotalinQua is so much later than t..e main river is because of the large area of lakes at the head O. the river. These lakes act as a governor, and because of their great area he river is very slow in raising and equally slow in falling. Every spring when Lake LeBarge finally opens, the water at Whitehorse is very low, so low that boats can barely scrape out with no cargo on board. ana every fall when navigation closes the river at White horse has a fine stage of water. am- pie to permit of hOats and barges operating with full loads.
 The remedy proposed to cure eX- isting conditions is to erect a dam at a point about seven miles below Marsh Lake. The purpose of the dam will be to conserve tke water which now wastes away in tde .dts fall efter navigation closes and thru cu, tine winter, and hold his Wa. ter in storage until the spring when it can be released Statistics of storage areas and flow of water ne cessary to provide a good stage of water in the river at Whitehorse. show that about 4C days water can be stored in Lakes Marsh, Tagisn Taku Arm and branches. Mares Lake and Lake Bennett
 If this scheme cen be carried out successfully it is going to make a big difference to navigation prob lens on the YukoH river and pre- vent the costly and eNasperatiug de lays which now prevail at the open ing of each season of navigation. IL. is confidently expected that boats will be able to leave Whitehorse ap- pruximately from Nay 2Oth to Nay 18th with full loads, thus courdln atiug the period oi high water on the upper river w.sh the period of high water on ths Stewart river This year the Stewart river had passed it's flood period and was fall ing rapidly before the first boat left Whitehorse, and urless some means is found to remedy this condition it is going to be very difficult. if uot impossible. to Gurr>sh Mayo with adequate transpo: tation facilities necessary for a big mining camp.
 We have every reason to believe that Mir. BrydOne-Jack will make a favorable report on the feasibility Of the scheme proposed, and it is hop ed that work may De commenced in the near future. We understand the Yukon Council has endorsed the scheme and made recommendation to Ottawa that. the work be under taken.

Mir. E. E. Brydone-Jack, supervis- ing district engineer for Western Canada. recently spent nearly two weeks in the Uppe: Yukon country in the vicinity of Whitehorse, Car cross and Atlin. Investigating a scheme for the improvement of ravi- gation on the Yukon River and its tributaries.
 The officials of the British Yukon Navigation company (riyer division, White Pass & Yukon Route) had made certain representations 10 the Public Works Department at Ot- tawa. and MT. Erydone-Jack was sent up here by tts Department to investigate the conditions prevailing and the possibility of providing some remedy for the difficulties ex- isting. The season of navigation on the Yukon river Is, at best, very short. and t is made still shorter on account of the fact that even in the comparatively short distanct be- tween WhitehorSe and Dawson there is such q variation in the season between these two points that when the river at Dawson is wide open, with a good stage of water, Lake Le- Barge is still closed with ice. and there is not sufficient water in the river between Whitehorse and Upper LeBarge and between Lower Le- Barge and HoOtalinqua to permit of the operation of loaded boats and barges even if the lake was open.
 Statistics for the last 2l years show that navigation opens below Lake LeBarge approximately three weeks before through navigation opens out of Whitehorse. This loss of three weeks. however, does nO' tell the whole stovy, because even when the boats get out of White horse, somewhere between June lst and l4th. the best that can be done is to scrape out with an empty boat on account of the very low stage of water which always prevails between Whitehorse and Hootalinqua, and many years it is Iuly lst or later before boats can leave Whitehorse with anything approaching a full load.
 To sum the whole situation up in a few words-the uain river opens early with a good stage of water it is high water in the spring and low water in the fall; the river be- tween Whitehorse and HoOtalInQua opens late with a very low stage of water-it is low water in the spring and high water in the fall.
 The conditions as affecting navi- gatiOn to Dawson are even worse as regards navigation to Mayo, the new mining camp situated on the Stewart river. The Stewart is a very 'ear- ly" river, and breaks in May. It is in flood right after the breakup, but it falls more rapidly than the main Yukon, and some years by the middle of July the water is so low that only small shallow draft boats can navigate it at all, and even then with extreme difficulty. Some years the Stewart raises In September, If fall rains occur, but there is no cer- tainty regarding tLis and this fall raise cannot be relied on. Even
