NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Washington, D. .... Nov. 6.—The
surveyors who have just reached Wash-
ington from a survey of the boundary
line between Canada and the United
States, known as the Northwest bound-
ary, refuse to give the slightest con-
firmation to the glowing reports of
great gild finds of the British survey-
ors, who covered the territory with
them, end will try nothing more than
that.active mining operations are in
progress along this line.
It is known, however, that it was
the rapidly increasing discoveries of
precious minerals along this line that
prompted the state department to ex-
pedite the work of locating the bound-
ary.
Stories equal to the old KJondyke
tales are sent from Vancouver, B. C.,
by the British surveyors, but neither
Mr. Barnard. Mr. Sinclair, nor Dr.
Willis, the noted geologist, will say
anything about the discoveries until the
state department is ready to make the
matter public.
This line was established by a com-
mission in 1836, and while there is
no puestion of the correctness of the
location, generally speaking, the great
difficulties encountered in that early
day made it impossible to locate the
monuments close enough together to
be of value in some districts.
There are intervals of thirteen miles

At this point was found a monument
from which to take observation, and
then the party proceeded to another
disputed point at Wigwam Creek,
where the next monument was located.
Prom Wigwam Creek for a distance of
thirteen miles thc district had never
been surveyed. The line was located,
cut out, and iron posts put at intervals
of two or three miles along thc bound-

Thc history of the journey of this
