Skagway, Alaska, July SO. The Work of delimiting the provisional boundary in the disputed Alaska-Canadian territory having been completed In that part crossing the Daltoa trail and touching the Forcupiue district. the Americana in the district find that they have lost a 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. II. Tittmau, ot Washington, D. 0., and W. F. King, of Ottawa, and assistants, who have simply followed instructions as set forth in the modus viveudi agreed to provisionally some months ago by Sec retary Hay, on the part of the United states, and the British representatives, fter the adjournment of the joint high commission. The survey and demarkation ot 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 in fact, the entire Porcupine district- was on the American side. Mach ot the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu pine city now lies within Canadian ter ritory also; that is, is on the Canadian aide of the iron monuments set on the provisional line. The American miners in the rorcu- pine having watched the development of the work of delimiting and marking the boundary, were so aroused over the result of so much niiuiug district being left on the Briteli side that they were not long in addressing a protest to rresident Mckinley, Copies of the protest have been sent to the chambers of commerce ot Seattle, Skagway, Situ Francisco and Tortland, with a request for co-operation. The commission will be in the viciu- ity of Skagway a month, delimiting the provisional line on White Pass and Cbilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placer mines, it is estimated, will yield $2o0, 000 this year. Work of sluicing, hy draulicking and other kinds of mining is carried on in the district. riacor Mine Kicitenaent.

The 'nine ha been idle for nearly four years, and the 5-stamp mill and concentrator put in by O. B. Hardy are a wreck. The mill wss run only a short time, owing to bad management, and, though the property could have been sold for $75, 000, It was allowed to stand idle, the owner failing to agree on the method of operating. There is several hundred feet of tunnels, but these will not be used, the new operator preferring to ink and follow the ore.
