WORK OE THE
SURVEYORS
The surveyors of the United States
aud Canadian governments have com
pleted the survey of the boundary
between the two countries from the
extreme southeastern end of Alaska
to Mt. St. Elias. It took over three
years to do this work. Stone monu
ments were set to mark the bound
ary and trees along the line were
cleared away. Maps and pictures
showing scenes along the boundary
will be displayed at the Alaska-Yu
kon-Pacific exposition In Seattle next
summer. The survey of the boundary
north of Mt. St. Ellas to the Arctic
ocean will be completed In about
two years more.
One of the Canadian surveyors
says that there are thirty miles of
the international boundary between
Alaska aud the Canadian territory
that will never be surveyed He
says that it is impossible. This thirty
miles of extra rough country he lo
cates iu the St. Elias range.
