PANS CONTAINING OVER 8IX
DOLLARS FOUND ON OLD
ABANDONED CREEK.
Small Wood creek, which has had
so many ups and downs, seems to be
on the up grade again, for another
strike has been made there, accord
ing to information which has leaked
out, as news of strikes has a habit
of doing. And this despite the uBua]
care exercised by the discovers
who were desirous of picking up
some of (the neighboring ground that
had reverted to the government.
The late strike Is understood to
have been made on 7 below Small
wood, upon the ground of John
Kroskie, better known as Russian
John, where pans up to $16 have becl
taken out.,
The scene of the strike is on dry
ground, although from below on up
the valley the ground is wet while
in the lower part down at the deep
hole on 12 below, water bothers, the
operators of that claim having lost
their 282-foot Bhaft and drifts by a
flood of water after they wero tak
ing out the money.
Smallwood creek was at the height
of its prosperity in 11)07 and 1908,
but it did not live up to its promises
and after several outfits had gone
broke, most of the miners moved
away and tlie ci'Wk droppod from
sijiht. from a milling standpoint—

The circuit court has handed down
a decision in the Booth case, up
holding the contention of L. V. Ray,
Booth's attorney that a man can be
held to serve out a fine. The decis
ion of Judge Cushman, that he pay
a fine of 250 dollars is upheld and
Booth will surrender himself as soon
as the court convenes and serve his
time or pay his fine.
Booth was tried before Judge Cush
man for sellingg liquor without a li
cense and upon conviction was sen
tenced to pay a fine of 9250, and (the
costs, amounting to $850.05 were as
sessed against him. From this decis
ion an appeal was taken, the appel
ate court holding that a man cannot
be imprisoned for debt but that the
government must proceed to collect
jthe costs as for a civil debt.
