Guards With Guns Guard Gold
Dust In Nome Bank
Another incident of this contest
occurred in the Alaska Banking
and Safe Deposit Building. Some
time elapsed after the appoint
ment of McKenzie as receiver for
this property before the defend
ants learned what disposition was
! made of the gold dust taken from
the mines. John Brynteson, one
of the Pioneer Mining Company
officials, went to McKenzie and
asked the privilege of seeing the
dust that they might have evi
dence that it was within the jur
isdiction of the Court. McKenzie
took him to a vhult in the Alaska
Banking and Safe Deposit Com
! pany and showed him the dust,
j There was a large quantity of it
as the Receiver extracted from
’ the properties of the Pioneer Min
ing Company near $400,000 dur
! ing his management of these
I claims. When the dust had been
located a guard was placed over
it by the defendants. A soldier
was on duty at the bank all the
time, but the guards that were
placed over the dust by the de
J fendants were men with shotguns
and Winchester rifles in an up
j stairs room in a building on the
| opposite side of the street. They
had instructions to prevent any
] body whom they suspected of be
longing to the McKenzie clan
from taking pokes of gold dust
from the bank.
McKenzie Prevented From
Taking Gold From Bank
While this guard was over the
bank McKenzie and one of his
men went to the vault and took
out a poke. Several men repre
senting the defendants in these
cases were apprised of McKen
zie's action and immediately en
tered the bank building. McKen
zie was told that he could not
take the poke from the bank. He
became greatly excited so much
so that he was not lucid in his
remarks. He declared that he
was an American citizen and de
manded that the doors should be
opened, that he was restrained of
his liberty. The man that was
with him had the poke on his
shoulder. It proved to be dust
extracted by the receiver of the
Topkuk Claim. This did not in
terest the people who were en
deavoring to prevent them from
taking dust that might belong to
the Pioneer Mining Company or
the Wild Goose Mining and Trad
ing Company. However, McKen
zie did not take the dust out of
the bank on this occasion, and
fortunately this critical situation
was passed without injury to

Writ From Circuit Court of
Appeals Arrives Nome.
I This incident occurred just af
ter the arrival of the writ from
| the Circuit Court of Appeals, and
;the extraordinary tension was
1 due to the fact that the defend
ants believed that the Receiver
| was trying to take the gold dust
' outside the jurisdiction of the
| court. There were other inci
I dents in which there were situa
tions. C. D. Lane, the manager
of the Wild Goose Mining and
Trading Company, was construct
ing a narrow-guage railroad from
: Nome to Anvil Creek. He want
ed to take some tailings from a
mine which his company owned,
and which McKenzie was work
ing as Receiver, for use in ballast
ing the railroad. Meeting Mc
Kenzie on the street near the
! postoffice in Nome one day, he
told him what he desired to do.
McKenzie objected and Mr. Lane,
who is a plain-mannered man, in
language more forcible than or
nate, told the receiver what he
I thought of him. Friends of both
Mr. Lane and the receiver were
present, and if trouble had start
ed somebody would have hecn
seriously hurt.
Marshal Vawter Served Writ
On Judge Noyes
When it was evident that neith
er Judge Noyes nor Alexander
McKenzie intended to obey the
'
order of the appellate court, an
other long ocean voyage became
necessary. By this date the sea-.
son was growing late. The ap
plication for appeal, which was
denied by Judge Noyes,was made
August 15. It was September 14
when United States Marshal Vaw
ter served the writ of supersedeas
on Judge Noyes. On September
17, Judge Noyes had not made
any order in recognition of the
writ of the superior court. On
September 10 William H. Metson
and Judge C. S. Johnson offered
an affidavit to the court in which
it was deposed that the Receiver
had taken out of Discovery claim
on Anvil Creek the sum of $130,
000. Judge Noyes was hearing a
trial at the time. He permitted
the interruption by the attorneys
long enough to hear the affidavit,
and then directed the trial to pro
ceed, taking no further notice of
them.
