QUESTIONS
OF CONFLICT
Important .* Yerdict Re
turned in Fairbanks,
Mining Case.
Nanana News,
The verdict returned by a jury in the
District Court, on Friday last, in favor
of‘William Grant, plaintiff, against W.
J. Campbell and J. L. Tobin, involved
possession of the placer claim known as
•» the Hill bench and the quart?, mining
claim known as the Hillside Ijode
claim, on the right limit of Friday
creek and the right limit of Moose
creek, and' lying down hill and in a
southerly direction from' the mouth of
Quigley’s tunnel on the'Red lop Lode
claim, in the Kantishna tniniog dis
trict. Alaska.
The trial started the morning of
February 1, and from the beginning
until the verdict was read, and eyen
after, attracted more attention from
mining men than any .cakSe in' the Dis
trict Court id the last-ten years.
Questions of conflict between the
rights of placer claimants and quartz
locators, which had never before arisen
tD'Alaska, were involved in this case.
The jury necessarily found, by the
verdict:
First. That plaintiff, Grant, owned
a valid placer mining claim at the time
the defendants entered upon the same,
without plaintiff’s consent.
Second. Defendants thereupon pros
pected therein bv sinking a shaft forty
feet, or more, in depth, and discover
ing therein a vein or lode of ore ;n
place, and located a quarts claim as the
Silver King lode claim.
Third. That the vein or lode thus
discovered bv defendants was thereto
fore unknown to exist within the boun
daries of plaintiff’s placer claim and
that, therefore, the defendants were
trespassers, and that they could not
acquire any rights or initiate any title
to their attempted Silver King Lode by
their acts in trespass, and that defend
ants’ lode claim was, therefore, void.
Fourth. That after said vein was
discovered and uncovered by defend
ants, such vein being then a known
vein, or a lode then known to exist,
plai ntiff made a quart/, location 1,500
feet along the vein as the Hillside Lode
mining claim, which quartz location of
plaintiff, as well as plaintiff’s placer
clai in, the jury found to bo valid, and
TO those who will be in need
of dental services, will say
it is my intention to return
North ob the hrst boat landing
at Bethel, early in July, and
I later will ivisit McGrath, Ta
cotna, Qphir, Flat and all other
places heretofore covered.
During ray stay on the Out
side it is my intention to lake
an up-to-date course in Optotn
etry, my purpose being to return
North prepared to test the eyes
of all those in need 'of this spe
cial attention, as well its to sup
ply accurate lenses and other
optical requiraments.

The Other Fellow’s Viewpoint.
“I ain’t gonna turn prohibitionist or
nothin’,” says the Old Soak, “but I’ll
say this—these days I don’t relish my
liquor none. I dunno whether I’m too
old or the hooch is too young. 1 always
did like my liquor to meet me half
way, but these days you ain’t more’n
made a home for a drink before it be
gins to benpeck you. ft moves in an’
starts to yank the furniture arouud
like a red-headed widow that’s aimin’
to show her third husband who’s boss
l live minutes after the weddin’ cere
ments has been uttered. I like to get
acquainted with my drinks more grad
ual. .But, nowadays, one rr'nnte you’re
.at) sober you hate yourself, an’ the next
I minute you’re so drunk you hate the
world. One of the greatest pleasi!res|I
useter have was hangin’ onto a bar an’
wonderin’ ii 1 was drunk yet. But
these times there a*n’t no opportunity
to speculate; you don’t wonder if you’re
drunk, you wooder if you’re gonna live.
Booze useter be a king, but nov* he’s
turned into ODe of these here radical
anarchists. I ain’t gonna quit, nor
nothing, but I’d like once more to riue
on top of a souze instead of being drug
for miles under the wheels. I don’t
know what kind of grief berries they
make it out of these days, but I know I
can’t find but two Kinds of liquor—one
kind ain’t right, au’ the oilier kind
ain’t liquor.”—Ex.

I Moneys Available for
Construction of Trails
Juneau.—The Secretary of Agricul
ture has approved the apportionment
of the balance of the recent Federal
road appropriation, giving Alaska
$50,222 from the forest development
fund, in addition to the $970,271 from
the forest highway fund alreaey al
loted.
It is expected that this additional
atoney will be used almost entirely for
trail-construction work to open up in
accessible areas to prospectors and
other fooest users. In addition to this
fund, the Forest Service will have
about $521).000 from other appropria
tions, making a total of approximately
$79*000 available for trail construction
within the national forest areas of
Southeastern Alaska during the next
two-year period.
I’ians for using this money are not
yet ready for announcement. A list of
projects has already been prepared,
j which will more than use up the entire
1 amount. It will be the object so far as
j possible to select projects which are of
the greatest value to prospectors and
other forest users in the development
of forest resources.
Thousands of Centenarians.
There are 4,267 people in the United
States who are over 100 years old, says
the Census Buaeau. About two-thirds
of them are women. The number
shows an increase of nearly 1,000 in the
last ten years. That seems to indicate
that the race is beginning to be longer
lived. Figures of insurance companies
also seem to bear out this theory.
