RETURN OF THE SURVEY PARI!
The topographic party of the U. S.
boundary survey returned last evening
and is at the l'ullen house. The party
is in charge of A. J.Oliver and consists,
beside him, of Messrs. F. S. Ryus, Wm.
I.heinkuh), Wra. Collins, Frank We!ls
a*'d C. T. Wells. The several parties
under the general charge of Mr. ltiggs
went through here, it will he remem
lercd, in the spring. Mr. Oliver's
party Is the llrst to arrive out. Mr.
Kigg's party is to bo expected in a
few days. The survey has covered
about a hundred miles beginning at
Sixty mile and traveling south. The
Itiggs party was compelled to come out
some time in advance of the pressure of
the weither by the pressure of hunger.
They had traveled far into the wilder
ness and reached Snag creetc, head
qunrters of the White river relying
upon a cache that had been arranged
to be loft at a certiin place. Arrived
at the appointed place, however, the
cache was uot to be found. The party
spent three days iu tho search but did
not locate it. Thoy were entirely with
out. provisions and had to hike for the
nearest camp, which took their still
several days. The horses of the several
parties are being wintered in the
Ivluane country and the party in
charge has not yet reached Whitehorse.
The disposition of the several parties
dining the summer, as related by Mr.
Oliver, is as follows: Mr. Riggs, in
general charge, was engaged in
running triangulation for the general
control of the whole work, and formed
the basis of all the others. Mr. Bald
win's party was engaged in setting
monuments from ten to thirty miles
apart o \ the line Following him came
a Canadian party cutting out the line so
indicated for a width of thirty feet,
clearing both brush and timber. Mr.
Oliver's party made a topographic map
of this line embracing a width of two
miles on each side.
The work on the south end of the line,
141st meridian, will require two more
seasons to complete. There will still
remain the long stretch from the Yu
kon straight away to the Arctic.
The Oliver party, when It approachrd
the Pullen house last evening caused
some alarm among the residents there,
the individuals being indistinguishable
from behind an ambush of whiskers.
The party had not taken the precaution
to place s safety razor in their outfit.
It is said the whiskers proved somewhat
of a hindraDce in the forest and may
have occasioncd some loss of time there.
Out here, however, the men have as
sumed an attitude of defiance of public
sontimcnt and a wager is on between
them that requires the purchase of a
real dinner for the bunch by him who
shall first thrust a clean face out
through the bush.
