the men to go back into the coun
try when they have earned a grub
stake.
During the winter the party
split up and some of them put in
some time on the Yukon side of
the divide. That region appeared
to be absolutely barren. The same
might be said of the ground lying
toward the old digigngs from
Dome creek. From all appear
ances the gold in the neighbor
hoor or Dome is confined to a
comparatively small area. If pay
is developed it will be an easy
matter to lake in supplies, the
river being navigable for light
draffb oats on a good stage of
waler lo within a few miles of the
claims. A poling boat might be
run onto the lower claim upon
which work has been done. Tim
ber is rather scant on tin- upper
part *»f lIn' creek, hut is more
plentiful lower down.
.Other prospectors who have
worked on Dome during the win
ter are Ike Hill, F.li l.iuuimore,
John Kasalo, Krie Orn, Hans Hoy
and Kd. Davis. A few men are in
I here y«'t, but they will have to
eoine out during (lie summer.

COURT RENDERS DECISION
IN IBEX MINING 0A8E
( Continued from page i)
The court holds that the ex
penses incurred by Mr. Reese in
1911-12, when east, should be re
covered to the Ibex company, as
Ihe profit resulting from this trip
went to the Mayfield company.
The court orders that no ex
ecution issue on account of the
sum involved, $1,194, against
MacMillan or Weber, until execu
tions against Reese and the May
field have Decn returned unsatis
fied, the former being rather in
the attitude of sureties.
There will be no trust imposed
on (he Mayfield or stoek set aside
for the benefit of the Ibex stock
holders except as to this judg
ment for $1,194. There is no
evidence as far as this case goe",
that the Mayfield stock had more
value than that of the Ibex, but
the conduct of the parties to the
suit miffhl lead the court to be
lieve that I hey thought it had
gnsiler value. There is no offer
• •u the pari of the stockholders of
Ihe Ibex Company lo do eipiity;
thai is. lo" pay lo tin* directors of
Ihe Ibex, who acipiireil an interest
in the Mayfield. for Ihe slock
I liev have acquired in Ihe latter
company, in proportion to that
COst'.
Another reason why flit* court
does mil impose any I rust is that
tlir court concludes thai a Irus
must arise in some sense out of
a contract. Tin* conrl Tunis this
taking the money lo have been a
pure lorl. Then, a^ain, there arc
a larye number of stockholders in
I In' Ibex company flial are not
parlies |o this suit. The stock
holders of the Ihcx stiinpr assert
I lial I hey sue for the benefit of all
other stockholders of that com
pany, hut those stockholders who
are not in this suit may prefer
the return of the money to the
Ibex company, which had been di
verted, rather than stock or an
interest in stock in another
prospect of a problematical value.
The court concludes that the
money diverted is a more certain
measure of damages than the
slock in the undeveloped mine.
