UNITED STATES WHAT TO DO " This river is navigable to Telegraph Creek, the water being from four to five feet deep. Then there is a stretch of country 145 miles long to Lake Tesâ€" lin, which presents no engineering difâ€" ficulties, and where a railroad can be constructed at moderate cost. That done, the water stretches emptying inâ€" to the Yukon, which are all navigable, could be utilized as far as Dawson City and to other portions of the Canâ€" adian territory. This route to the ]Yukon is less than one thousand miles ong. * i4 4s T e " Now, in regard to the construction of a railroad you may rest assured that there will be one within a very short time. The only delay now is due to the choice of a route. Three or four are under consideration. The most probable route is from Port Wrangle, on the Pacific Coast, to Stickine Rivâ€" er, a region which is open to the Briâ€" tish as well as to the people of the United States under the Washington treaty. ‘"The Canadian government, as well as English capitalists, is carefully conâ€" sidering the opening up of the counâ€" try, and within a very short time some action will be taken. An English exâ€" ploration companf'. with a very large capitalization, will be formed to conâ€" duct mining and possibly railroad opâ€" erations. 1 cannot at present tell you who is back of it, but I presume t{mt Lord Dufferin will be one of the chief men. He was formerly Governor Genâ€" eral of Canada and is well posted on the mining developments up to the present time. He is avery active man and whatever he takes hold of is sure to be carried through. " Few people have any concei))tion of the immense territory covered these gold bearing streams. The Yuion is only one of manf rivers. It is only two bhundred miles long, while the Lewes River, which is believed to be equally rich, is five or six hundred miles long, and there are numerous unâ€" expiored streams which will be develâ€" oped as rapidly as the facilities for reaching the country are furnished. _ * 1 suppose that there will be between five thousand and six thousand peoâ€" ple at Dawson City this winter. It will be very difficult, of course, to get any supplies up the Yukon to relieve the miners, but 1 understand the North mouleris and a host of others. American Trading and Transportation Company and other trading concerns will do their best to get goods through, at whatever cost. Supgliea have been accumulated at St. Michael for this purpose. 1 realize the difficulty of carrying out such a programme, but if there should be a crisis there will be nothing else to do. "I think that the coming bhardships at Dawson City have been greatly exâ€" aggerated," he replied, "although it is probable that they will have a tough enough time of it and may be on very short rations. Compared with Dawson City, however, the situation along the overiand route to the Yukon will proâ€" bably be terrible, for, in spite of re peated warnings, many went in late and they will not get much beyond the passes. Anticipating such an emâ€" ergency ,the Canadian government has a‘ready sent as many supplies as posâ€" sible to Lake Tagish, and they will be forwarded in either direction, as the demand requires. Police have been staâ€" tioned along the way for prompt comâ€" munication. PROBABLE RAILROAD ROUTES ed personages blushed like a school boy.

The Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Provinces of British Colâ€" umbia, while spending a month in England was besieged on all sides by capitalists and fortune hunters who were anxious to hear the details of the wonderful country.

He was found some time after, literally covered with blood, and hastily picked up and driven to Dr. Campbell‘s surgery. _ Everything posâ€" sible was done, but it was a difficult matter to staunch the flow of blood. Finally this was accomplished, but the oung man had lost so much blood that fie now lies between life and death, though the doctors bhope to pull him through. " Anotber route is from Revelstoke on the Canadian Pacific, north through Tete Jaune pass, thence to Francis Lake and to the Lewes River and the Yukon district. All of these latter routes, leading from Edmonton, and Revelstoke, would be 1,650 miles long, or perhaps less. As an exclusivéely ‘ Canadian route, if found feasible, the | Edmonton line would have the preferâ€" ‘ence, as supplies from eastern Canada would be saved a long haul. ; NO BOUNDARY DISPUTE. _ ‘‘As for fears that there may be ‘ disputes between the United States and Canada over the boundary, or over the mining regulations, I think there are no grounds for such fears. In my opinâ€" ion there will never be any discriminâ€" ation aizinst Americans. In fact, I , think the Canad‘an government sees ampur is to be buil‘t for it. The probâ€" abilities are that it will have a large quantity of its product ready for shipâ€" ment asgsoon asthe road is competed. It is proposed to rum trains over the road as soon as the construction reaches the foor of Kootenay lake, where transâ€" fers by steamers will be made for all lake g:inta.

McCuaig, engineer of the freight train, is injured, bis leg having been broken, apd Harry Kaâ€" vanagh, fireman on the freight, receivâ€" ed cuts about the head and body. The cause of the accident is not yet clear. Early in the morning a heavy freight started from Ottawa with instructions to cross the express at Stittsville. Unâ€" der ordinary conditions it shou‘ld have reached Stittsville in ample time to do so. It seems, however, that the grade going into Stittsville was too heavy for the freight. For some reason the enâ€" gine was unalle to haul the freight up the grade. There was A HEAVY FOG, and possibly the rails bad become slipâ€" pery. At wl events the conductor found that he would have todivide the freight to accomplish the grade. _ This was Four Men Lose Their Lives â€" The Toront Train Ran Into a Freight Near Ottawaâ€" Passengers Were Not Injurcd.
