 the Porcupine to a point which was supposed to be within British jurisdiction 
 where he established Rampart House ; but in 1890 Mr. I. H. Turner of the United 
 States Coast Survey found it to be 20 miles with'n the lines of the United States 
 Consequently in 1891 the post was moved 20 miles further up the river to be 
 within British territory. 
 
 Extract from Assistant SurgconA. E. Wilis' Report for 1805. 
 
 't may be of interest to mention something concerning the climate, mode of 
 livmg of the people generally, and diseases met with. 
 
 The climate is wet. The rainfall last summer was heavy. Although there is 
 almost a continuous sun in summer time evaporation is very slow owing to the 
 thick moss which will not conduct the heat, in consequence the ground is always 
 swampy. It is only after several years of draining that ground will become 
 sufficiently dry to allow the frost to go out and then onlv for a few feet. During 
 the winter months the cold is intense with usually considerable wind. 
 
 A heavy mist arising from open places in the river settles down in the valley 
 in calm extreme weather. This dampness makes the cold to be felt much more 
 and is conducive to rheumatic pains, colds, etc. 
 
 Miners are a iry mixed class of people. They represent many nationalities 
 and come from all climates. Their lives are certainly not enviable The regula- 
 tion "miner's cabin" is 12 feet by 14 feet with walls 6 feet and gables 8 feet in 
 height. The roof is heavily earthed and the cabin is generally very warm. Two, 
 and sometimes three or four men will occupy a house of this size. The ventila- 
 tion is usually bad. Those miners who do not work their claims during the win- 
 ter confine themselves in these small huts most of the time. 
 
 Very often they become indolent and careless, only eating those things 
 which are most easily cooked or prepared. During the busy time in summer 
 when they are "shovelling in," they work hard and for long hours, sparing little 
 time for eating and much less for cooking.

 This manner of living is qnite common amongst beginners, and soon leads to 
 debility and sometimes to scurvy. Old miners have learned from experience to 
 value their health more than gold, and they therefore spare no expense in pro- 
 curing the best and most varied outfit of food that tan be obtained. 
 
 In a cold climate such as this, where it is impossible to get fresh vegetables 
 and fruits, it is most importan that the best substitutes for these should be pro- 
 vided. Nature helps to supply these wants by growing cranberries and other wild 
 fruits in abundance, but men in summer are usually too busy to avail themselves 
 of these. 
 
 The diseases met with in this country are dyspepsia, anitmia, scurvy caused 
 by improperly cooked food, sameness of diet, overwork, want of fresh vegetables, 
 overheated r.nd badly ventilated houses; rheumatism, pneumonia, bronchitis, 
 enteritis, cystitis and other acute diseases, from exposure to wet ami cold ; (lebil- 
 ity and chronic diseases, due to excesses. Venereal diseases are not uncommon. 
 One case of typhoid fever occurred in Forty Mile lasi fall probably due to drink- 
 ing water polluted with decayed vegetable matter. 
 
 In selecting men to relieve in this country I beg to submit a few remarks, 
 some of which will be of assistance to the medi.al examiners in making their 
 recommendations. 
 
 Men should be sober, strong and healtny. They should be practical men, 
 able to adapt themselves quickly to their surroundings. vSpecial care should be 
 taken to see that their lungs are sound, that they are free from rheumatism and 
 rheumatic tendency, and that their joints, especially knee joints are strong and 
 have never been weakened by injury, synovitis or other disease. It is also very 
 important to consider their temperaments. Men should be of cheerful, hopeful 
 dispositions and willing workers. Those of sullen, morose natures, although 
 they may be good workers, are very apt, as soon as the novelty of the country 
 wears off, to become dissatisfied, pessimistic and melancholy.
