BOOMILEY
CASE SETTLED
FAIRBANKS. ? The famous Boone
Manlev case, involving a partition of
creek claims Nos. 4 and 5 below dis
covery. on Cleary creek, was settled
yesterday out of court. These are
known to be two of the richest placer
claims in the Tanana. being valued at
J 1,00.00. The pay streak on Cleary
creek is absolutely true and can be
figured upon as safely as if it was a
quartz ledge. The ground has been 1
litigation four years.
A peculiar feature of this litigation
is that both sides win by the fact
that the claims hav ebene tied up dur
ing this length of time. All the rest
of the claims on the creek have been
worked and the owners and laymen
have carried away fortunes. In the
mean time the cost of labor, of mach
inery and of supplies has decreased
appreciably, so that when the long
idle claims are opened the gold will
be extracted at a much lower coftt
and at a much greater profit to the
owners than had they started to open
up the ground in 1905. ?
Col. J. H. Conrad arrived in town
from Conrad yesterday and left on thq
Trlncess May. Col. Conrad is going
to New York on a business trip.

ma IS DESCRIBED BY
TOURIST IN EASTERN PAPER
Th? following article Is taken from
the Austin Vindicator of Austin, 111.,
and was written by Mrs. Howard A.
Maxwell, who, with her husband, was
a round trip tourist in Skagway about
six weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Max
well made tho trip on the Princess
Rpyal. The Austin paper is publish
ing an account of their Alaskan trip:
"After leaving Juneau and contln-1
ulng our course up th Leynn Canal,
we at last reached Skagwav, 'the|
Great gateway to the Yukon,' where
our boat remains all day, thus giving*
the passengers an opportunity of tak- ,
ing the White Pass & Yukon trip to
Lake Bennett.
"But I first wanted to find out
something about this thriving city, so
walking leisurely down the main
streets, stared with surprise and ad
miration at the fine cosmopolitan
stores and shops, the large and well
built hotels and fraternal halls, the
water works, electric lights and tele
phone system, cable and wireless
connections: thence over the rcsid
tnce streets, where we see beautiful
homes with well kept lawns and flow
er gardens, churches, schools and a
hospital, and to think that this city
never came into existence until 1S!?S.
"I called at the office of The Daily
Alaskan and had a most pleasant int
erview with Mr. Keller (formerly of
St. Paul).
"In speaking of the weather he in
formed me that 5 degrees below
zero Is the lowest that thermo
meter over Rets up there, the
Japan currcnt always having a
moderating effect upon the climate,
ami lu the summer months when It
has been as hot as 90 degrees above,
the south winds from the glaciers
are always cool, causing the climate
the year around to bo almost ideal.
As a fruit country it cannot be ox
celled. Hod, black and white cur
rants grow In abundance, making the
best kind of jelly; blue and luickle
and high bush cranberries grow wild
also, and the strawberries, raspber
ries and tho largo gooseberries have
been successfully cultivated. Veget
ables grow to au enormous size and
it Is a groat country for eclory. Wheat
cats and barley are always line, but
oj yet corn isn't as successful as
they'd like to have It.
"In the summer they have about
22 hours daylight. Around Christ
mas, of course, there is more dark
ness than daylight, but right after
Xew Years tho days lengthen very
rapidly. The rainfall is loss than In
any other 'portion of Southeastern Al
aska.
"I can't understand why it is called i
Skagway, for that means "the homoj
of the north wind," and I am quite I
certain tho north wind never bothertd
them very much theree.
"It appears to mo that Skagway has |
every facility and opportunity of be
coming the great summer resort of
the nortliwt*?t,"
