I would not nave missed the Corona

It was truly tremendous—the most
colorful spectacle I have ever seen,

not say that England is definitely
prosperous, but there is the same air
of stability that we have always felt,
and everyone seems to be getting

peals. sitting in San Francisco, the
judgment of an Alaska district court1
in the Alaska gold mining deed case
was reversed. In this case W. E.
James and his wife, former owners
rl a gold placer claim on White Riv
er, contended they deeded away the
pr 'perty. which is in the Chisana
d strict, under an oral agreement
that the execution end delivery of
th- deed would wipe out a debt of
$5,150 owing to the Ch:*ir.a Cash
Store and the First National Bank
f Cordova, t ney alleged this oral
agreement was not included in the
deed and that the agreement was not
kept. James and his wife won the
case in the Alaska district court,

ground that it had been obtained by
fraud ob the part of O. A Nelson,
ne of the owners of the Chitina
Cash Store. The circuit court of ap
peals. in rendering its decision, re
versing the judgment of the Alaska
district court, said, “We do not con
cede that Nelson dealt unfairly with
nes.'’ In the course of the litiga
:.<>n the present operators of the
claim testified that so far they have
ken gold. worth ft*,000 out of the
property and that they have spent
$16,540 in operating it.
