 from Cape Prince of Wales east along the northern coast of Bering 

 Sea to Unalakleet, 350 miles; the second from Cape Prince of Wales 

 north along the Arctic Ocean to Point Barrow, 8.50 miles; the third 

 was from Unalakleet south along the east coast of Bering Sea to 

 Carmel on the Nushagak River, 300 miles; the fourth from Unalak- 

 leet eastward to Nulato in the Yukon Valley, 150 miles (this 

 line will be extended from Nulato up the river 705 miles to Fort 

 Yukon) ; the fifth from Kotzebue Sound eastward to Bettles on the 

 Koyukuk River, 400 miles; and the sixth from Quinhagak at the 

 mouth of the Kiiskokwim River eastward to Copper Center north of 

 Prince William Sound, between 400 and 500 rniles. These trunk

 and civilizing the native population and for the white men in the 

 development of the resources of the country.
