DOME CHEEK CASES SETTLED!
The fact the famous Dome creek oases
were tried before Judge Gunnison of
this district and that the lawyers on
both sides came all the way out from
Fairbanks last summer to argue points
before the coon in this city will give
additional interest here to the announce
ment that the case, so long and bitterly
fought in the courts has at last been
settled out of it. The Fairbanks Times,
In heavy black face type, three-column
measure, announces the settlement as
follows:
The so-called "Dome creek case,"
the source of more mischief and heavy
damage to the general interest of the
Tanana than any other factor is ended.
The great piece of news, vouchsafed
by all parties to both sides of the
famous litigation, comes as the result
of negotiations that were brought to an
end when Captain Barnette, et al on
the one side and Fernand de Journal,
et al, who had so bitterly fought him
in the couits. affiixed their name to an
agreement in *hich it is provided that
the claims of all are forever settled,
and that the owners stipulated by the
instrument shall remain in peaceful
and uncontested possession.
The ground involved is the famously
rich bench claims, 1 and 3 below in the
first tier on the right limit. Captain
Barnette, John L. McGinn, Mark Sulli
van, Henry Cook and Jack Ride^our
are the claimants to whom perfect title
ia given by the agreement. The terms
of settlement were $150,000 a substan
tial cash payment b?lng made upon tbe
signing of the agreement, with the re
mainder to be turned over at later
intervals.
Thus is drawn to a close the greatest
piece of mining litigation tbe north his
ever known, a law suit, that, having its
beginning in an insignificant contro
versy between Captain Barnette ant,
associates on the one side and th<
allled original locators of the ground
jumped in the association staking on
the other, grew and expanded until
every member of the Taoana Bar
association was involved, lined up on
one side or the other; an action thai
caased entirely new principles of law to
be worked out. The cou ilry's most sub
stantial mining and professional men
were first rent by the dispute; sooo the
whole Tanana was drawn into tbe
wrangle and a naturally peaceful
people was split into vindictive
factions, eternally at war. The case
brought into question the integrity of
the division's United States court and
even brought Washington into the
wrangle, for Judge Wickersham re
fused to sit in judgment because of the
aspersions and insinuations that were
common gossip, aod the department
had to send a judge from another divis
ion to bear the trial.
In a money sense the etTect of the
case was tremendous. It arrested de
velopment of the very heart of the Tan
ana's richest paystreak. One below
contains probably more than $1,000,000
worth of gold, and all other properties
involved are believed to be rich ss
well,
Worse than all the foregoing the
dispute had finally grown to the pro
portions of a life and death struggle:
one litigant, Jack Ridenour, having
been shot down by another during a
quarrel over the ground.
This summary of the vast significance
the settlement is to the Tanana is far
from complete, but even so it will serv

It 1* just aa well that Servla rernein- 1
bered the need of powder bi fore the
proclamation of war w?s Issued. Those
countries that go to battle thinking to
win by clamor have very surprising
things happen to them. Greece tried it
on wi?h Turkey some years ago, it will
be remembered, and found herself scat
tered over the entire neighborhood be
fore she woke up. They had powder,
but courage also is needed in battle and
brains. It is most wise to take an in

before throwing a castor In the ring.
If Harry Thaw goes back to the asy- j
lum for keeps in spite of his money it j
will be pretty good evideoce to the
world at larjie that he Is really insnne. !
And this will be something of a relief
to know as an extenuation for his deed.
Of course it is necessary to have
money to wio campaigns but it sounds
odd to hear Mr. dryan calling upon
the people to put up huadreds of thous
ands of dollars that he may be elected
president, don't it ?

Accompanied by Terrible Itching
A Complicated and Most Distress
ing Case? Well-known Remedies
Failed to Cure-Doctor Thought
an Operation Necessary? Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY
"I am now eighty years old and ono
morning, three years ago, I was taken
with a hard pain in my right Bide. In
two davs I had an attack of piles
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding.
The doctor gave me some medieino and
an ointment for them which helped mo
6ome but I had to keep using them all
the time. Then I changed to the P
remedy; but if 1 did not use it every
day. I would get worxo. Tho doctor
said the only help for me was to go to
a hospital and be operated on. At
this time, about a year ago, I wont to
using t he S remedies. I tried them
for four or five months but did not got
much help for my piles. During this
time sore-; would Co mo on a fleshy part
of my bodv. They bothered me all
the tune. I would get one healed and
another would come. These sores
changed to eczema, accompanied by
a terrible itching. It seemed as if I
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and the pile trotiblo
brought on an inflamed condition.
Then I got the Cutieura Remedies. I
washed the affected parts with Cutieura
Soap and warm water in the morning,
at noon, and at night, then used Cuti
eura Ointment on the irritated sur
faces and injected a quantity of Cuti
eura Ointment with a Cutieura Sup
pository Syringe. I also took Cuti
eura Resolvent Pills three times a day.
It took a month of this treatment to
get me in a fnirlv healthy state and
then 1 treated myself once a day for three
months and, after that, once or twice a
week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti
eura. The treatments I had tried took a
lot of money that I would have saved by
using Cutieura Remedies sooner, but
1 am wiser now. I am supplied with
0 full set of tho Cutieura Remedies and
would not feel safe without them.
