George 11. Hull, Federal engineer,
and tils assistant, J. A. Miller, ar
rived on the Dawson Tuesday, to
< xauilne the Vukon river with a
view to dredging or other improve
ments, says tlia Dawton News. They
will take a launch roin Dawson to
White Horse, md make a close ex
amination of all barn and channels
on the way up. Tholr headquarters
.11 ?? at Prince Kupert. The engineers
came hero at th- Instance of Dr.
Alfred Thompson, M. I*. Their re
ports will be made to Ottawa, and
the future Improvements will depend
largely on tho character of the
same.
Messrs. Hull un Miller will go up
the river on the While I'ass launch
?>ll>p|ln, a fast new craft, now on the
way down stream, retain George
Uurros, pilot of the steamer Selkirk,'
tvlll accom|fauy tho visitors on the
launch, and point out all the troubh
aome bars and other points along ,h
rlverv needing attention. The bar
will be mapped and (be engineers
will forward copies of the maps to
Ottawa with their reports. Dr. A1
Fred Thompson has been taking a
Jeep Intorest in the mutter of gett In
:hc river lwprovod, and will luake
strong recommendations to Ottawa
Dawson, Messrs. Hull and Miller ha
he profitable experience of being
(tailed on two bars. Tho argument
11 favor of dcepor channels was Ir
-efutable. Had tho travelers been
lere a little later in tho season, or
luring the spring they might have
>oen on tho bars for -i mutter of
lays or even weeks, as has been
he experience of numarous Klou
llkers. Tho greatest Injury, how 'v
r, is suffered from -tho steamer !
leiug able to haul but little freight '
it seasons when the camp is much
it need of goods.
One suggested improvor.iont .or
ho river Is sotno schemo whereby
he water in Lnko Lollurgo and t'ie
riilrty-mlle and the Yukon proper
J. J. J. A A J. A ? ?
can bo ralsod. Years ago Racine,
of Whltehorse, suggested a darn u
the bond of Miles canyon, for im
pounding tlio water which ;;athcrs iu
l.uke Taglsh and tlio chain of water
ivays abovo the canyon. It 1b clalm
i ed now that tlio scheme 13 perfect
ly feasible, and that onco carrlcd In
to effect sufficient wator could be
Uold in reserve to ?reatly add to the
relume and depth of tho flow In the
Thirty mile for two woeks when
most needed. The conserved water
>-omlug ut tho right time, it Is said,
tilso would flush tho sands from the
1 head of LeUarge, help-lift and brea
the ice several days. If not ten
days or two weeks, earlier each
spring, flood the bars on tho Yukon
and thus help nnvlgntlon generally
Possibly 11 dredge will be built lo
' dredgo bars, and fill in draws. The
"hole matter will be Investigated
carefully by the engineers, and then
roported on to tho department.
I.lghts for certain points along tlioj ;
river also have been suggestod.
