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.

existed as to the placers really being

them to be the diggings found and oper

The Phoenix mine in Grrenn-ood
Gulcb, one-half mile above the Golden

N. Chatham and William Sunders, who
have a two years' lease from the own

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

remains of the snake is then removed
and the balance is let stand until it

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.
