Treasury Department Powerless to Return
Money to Miners Without Special Legisla
tion?Must Apply to Congress
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan-1
Washington, Feb. 14? The treasury
department, finds, after legal inquiry,
that it cannot reimburse the miners j
who lost gold through the stealing ot
'jfeorge E. Adams, cashier of the United .
States assay office, without a special (
act of congress. It is believed here
that very few can be able to prove
their claims. Some, probably, could !
do "so according to those who have
ma" iged the whole affair for the trea3
ury department, to the satisfaction of
a congressional committee, but it is
thought it would be almost impossible
to do so through the court of claims.
The difficulties are illustrated io the
case of five miners from Ophir creek,
who claim a shortage of from 12 to 15
per cent, in their gold. It is pointed
out that there was no such per cent
age of shrinkage, and, the department
says,even should a shrinkage t p shown
it is by no means proof that Adams had
stolen the money.
