Tba Work of delimiting the provisional boundary in the disputed Alaaka-Caua dian territory having been completed in that part crossing the Dal ton trail and touching the Porcupine district, the Americana In the district find that thev have lost large part of what they believed was rightfully American territory. The survey has been run and the monuments set within the last few weeks by O. H. Tittman, of Washington. D. C. and W. F. King, of Ottawa, and assistants, who have simply followed instructions as set forth in the modus vivendi agreed to proviaionally some months ago by 8eo reUry Hay. on the part of the United States, aud the liritiah representatives, after the adjournment of the joint high oommismon. The survey and demarkation of the line leaves nearly one-half of the Por cupine gold mines in the British terri tory, and it has been the general opin ion for a long time that the mines -m fact, the entire Porcunine district - was on the American side. Much of the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu pine city now lies within Canadian ter ritory also; that is, is on the Canadian side of the iron monuments set on the provisional lite. The American miners in the rormv pine having watched the development of the work of delimiting and marking the boundary, were bo aroused over the result of so much mining district being left on the Kritsb side that they were not Ion if in addressing a protest to President McKinley. Copies of the protest have been sent to the chambers of commerce of Seattle, Skagway, San Francisco and Portland, with a request for co-operation. The commission will be in the vlciu ity at Skagway a month, delimiting the provisional line on white 1 ass ana Chilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placer mines, it it estimated, will yield f -'50,-000 this year. Work of sluicing, by dranlicking and other kinds of mining is carried on in the district. i I later Mine Kxcltemeat. Jnneaa has a full fledged placer mine excitement, according to advices brought from the north by the steamer Rosalie. When the vessel sailed from the north July 18, a stampede was on to a new placer diggings on Glacier bay. about 150 miles distant. Some doubt existed as to the placers really being new discoveries. Not a few believe them to be the diggings found and oper ated many yean ago by the Russians. In any event the finds are moat promis ing. It is claimed for them that an experienced miner can make consider ably more than wages. Fplly 200 peo ple, it is estimated, bad gone from Ju neau alone to the scene of the new dis coveries. The bars in the mouth ol Glacier bay all are said to contain gold. Advleea From Noma. Advices from Nome received by the Alaska Commercial Company at Sau Fiancisco state that up to July 10 there had been 19 cases of smallpox in the camp, only one being reported ainct July S. St. Michael has established a strict quarantine against Nome. According to the records of the cus tom-bouse, 114 vessels have entered Nome and 13,437 passengers hare land ed, not including those who cam 3 down the Yukon river, nor those who Ian. led from vessels which did not report to the customs officers. It is estimated that from 6,000 to 10,000 persona will winter at Nome. Idle Mines Picking I'p. The Phoenix mine in Grrenn-ood Gulcb, one-half mile above the Golden Eagle, and opposite the Don Juan, near Suinpter, Or., is being operated by C. N. Chatham and William Sunders, who have a two years' lease from the own ers, C. M. Berry, D. L. Choate, L. M. Earnett and C. M. Collier. The 'nine has been idle for nearly fonr years, and the 6-stamp mill and concentrator put in by O. fi. Hardy are a wreck. The mill was run only a short time, owing to bad management, and, though the property could have been sold for f 75,- 000, it was allowed to stand idle, the owners failing to agree on the method of operating. There is several hundred feet of tunnels, but these will not be used, the new operators preferring to sink and follow the ore. The ore is ol two grades, one carrying black oxide of copper and the other running well in free gold. "Rattlesnake" Jones is the name of a Boise man who engages in capturing the reptiles and selling them to the Chinese. The Celestials take each rat tler and put it into a bottle cf whisky and let it stand for two years. What remains of the snake is then removed and the balance is let stand until it clarities, which process requires Ave years. The liquid is then a sovereign cure for rheumatism, says the lloine Statesman. The Chinese claim that it will care the most violent case. It takes seven years in all to make toe preparation ready for use. Northwest Notes.

The Huntington, Or., jail is empty , for the first time in months. It Is re ceiving a thorough cleaning. A couple of years ago two Olympla marsh farmers drove a few piles to pro tect a fish trap location. They were recently paid $100,000, this being the balance of $142,000, the price they asked for their fishing claim. KEYNOTE OF THE TRADE. the Isapravart Crap Caaalllans are th Oraat raatara. Breastreet a says: improved urop conditions furnish the keynote of the trade and price -movement. At a re mit at them nearly all staple agricul tural products ais lower in price, and at the same time a perceptible livening op of demand for fail delivery U noted in the West, Northwest and South The beginning of fall trade is conse quently more clearly visible in the sec tions mentioned, while at the Fast the markets ere slow to experience this improvement and are consequently rea sonably dull. Bank clearings aa yet fail to reflect any perceptible improve ment in distribution, and railway earn ings, though et Urge volume, are, ow ing to comparisons being made with exceptionally good results last year, showing less notable increases both in gross and net returns. Hog product have gone lower with corn, as has also wheat, In which con tinned liquidation has been noted, with the result ol inducing partial returns ol the export inquiry banished from the markets by the recent heavy rise. Iron and steel prices are evidently craping the bottom, tl reports irom leading centers of cost of raw material and wage are correct. Soft coal is going abroad too, a cargo leaving fur London shortly. Tin is cornered locally and higher on the week, while copper is nner. A a encouraging feature of the wool market is the rather better inquiry for raw wool at Boston, but manufacturing will not apparently do much until th light weight season opens. Wheat, including flour shipments. for the week, aggregate 8.029.881 bush els against 8,839,910 bushels last week. Business failures for the week nam ber 302 against 231 last week.

Han-later and Solicitor. Lawyers In Englaud are divided Into two great classes counsellors or bar rlsters, and attorneys or solicitors. The counsellors or barristers, as these terms Imply, confine themselves to the actual trial and argument of cases In open court, and to consultations with attor neys; or solicitors who represent the clients. It Is contrary to professional etiquette for a barrister to confer or consult directly with his client The attorneys, or solicitors, as tbey are all now atyled, see the client, take bis statement, gather the facts, and put It all down In wrltlug In what Is called the brief." The brief la then handed by the solicitor to the barrister, with bis retaining fee, and thereupon the barrister and solicitor confer; the bar rister gives his advice and opinion, and It the case goes to trial be does all the work In court, such as examining and cross-examining witnesses, and argu ing or summing up the rase before the court or jury. The solicitor does not speak In court at all. Clay Images Are Worshiped. The effete religious system and idol atrous practices of China represent an annual expenditure of $400,000,000. There are 4,000,000 deities, 300,000 tem ples. Some temples are served by a hundred priests. These men are Illiter ate, and often from the very scum of society. About 70,000 pigs, rabbits, sheep and deer, and 27,000 pieces of costly silk are annually offered at the sacrifices. They worship clay Images of men, dogs, turtles, snakes, lizards and In sects. The people live In dread of evil spirits, which are supposed to cause disease and calamity. They propitiate the evil spirits rather than pray to the good, having a belief In the cruelty aud beartlessncss of the gods. Oldest Manufacturing Industry. The oldest manufacturing Industry in Great Britain is that of flints and flint locks, -which has been carried on since the beginning of the fifteenth century, If not farther back still, at the Ling heath mines, Brandon, on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk. The flints ar all made by band, being placed on the operator's knee and chipped with a hammer to the proper shape. Ol course, a number of these flints an used for flre-maklng, being principally used In countries like Hpaln and Italy, where the duties on ordinary matches and wax matches are so high as to con vert them Into luxuries. On the Wane. Horse racing In Russia Is on the wane now that the reindeer has been introduced as the rival of the borso. The reindeer Is among the swiftest of quadrupeds, and can outstrip the swiftest of horses. It Is estimated that he could give the fleetest Derby win ner a start of half a mile and beat blm easily over tbe Derby race track. Snowstorm Started a Fire. A snowstorm started a fire on the premises of a farmer living at Helm terne, Belgium. He placed a quantity of quicklime near a shed on a farm and left It there all night. In the course of tbe night snow fell onto tbe lime and the heat thus developed became so great that it set the shed on fire, com pletely destroying It and Its contents.
