MAY DIVIDE ALASKA. I .l:la.n tor a New ‘Terrltory‘ to Be Named Lincoln. San Francisco, 03.1., Oct. 15.—The - scheme to divide Alaska by setting apart the northwestern pirtion of it as the new Territory of Lincoln has taken definite shape. Senator Carter, of Mon- tana, and the North American Trans- portation and Trading Company are behind the plan, and Hi Gage, son of the Secretary of the Treasury, and an oflicer of the trading company, is to be a prominent?- candidate for Governor in case Congress sanctions‘ the crea- tion of the new Territory. The Territory of Lincoln will have as its southeastern boundary point Mount St. Elias. From that point the eastern boundary will run directly to the .l‘rctic, which ocean will form the nortl.e.n boundary. The western boundary will likely run down the coast line below St. Michael’s to the top of the divide between the Yukon, and continue to Kokyn River. The bound- ary of the south will follow the sixty- second parallel east to the Copper Riv- er, where it will cut down tojMount St. Elias. ‘ Should the division occur and the boundary lines mentioned prevail, Alas- ka proper would then include the Aleu- tian Islands, the coaling stations of Dutch Harbor and Unalaska and the balance of the Alaskan peninsula, the "island of Unza and its quartz mines, Kodiak Island, Kauai peninsula and the placer mines of Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound and the placer mines along the Copper River, the towns of Wrangle, Sitka, Juneau, Dyea, Skaguay and the passes on the overland route to Yukon. Within the new territory would be the rich placers of the Yukon as far as the boundary line. It would also include the numerous settlements and trading posts from St. Michael’s to Circle City, aggregating a population at present of over 3,000 whites and 8,000 natives. The town of Weare, situated on the, Yukon, about half way between Dawson City and St. Michael’s, has been chosen for the capital of the proposed territory. m~ _.... , m f Five Killed and Others Hurt.
