A. D. Thompson, a Nenana
druggist, and Leo Blistine,
trapper, were recently arrest
ed at Nenana on charges of
unlawfully selling and using
strychnine. Both pleaded guilty
before the commissioner at
Nenana and fines were impos
ed. Thompson sold the poison
in a bottle bearing ordinary
inscriptions, but inside the
wrappers were written in
structions to trappers telling
them how to use the drug for
poisoning fur-bearing animafs.
It is stated that the Kantishna.
once thickly populated by fur
bearing animals, is now almost
deserted, due largely to the use
of poison.

AFFIRMS DECISION IN •
FAVOR OF GRUBSTAKE3
The suprenje court of Idaho
recently affirmed a grubstake
agreement carried up from a
lower court of Butte county,
according to a Boise report.
A suit over a mining claim in
Butte county was decided in
favor of Roy Hawley and C. W.
McChesney against Daniel
Romney, E. B. King and D. V.
Archbold, by the state supreme
court. The plaintiffs asserted
they had a grub stake agree
ment with Romney, in return
for which they were each to
have one-third interest in the
claims he might locate. They
assarted they had visited the
gi ound and found he had stak
ed certain claims in his own
name. The lower court, after
■he parties to the agreement
had tried to confirm titles to
themselves as against each
other, decided in favor of the
grubstakers and this finding
the supreme court affirmed.
MINE DEVELOPERS
A NATIONAL ASSET
Mining can never be entirely
diverted of the speculative ele
ment. Metale values fluctuate
Ore bodies are exhausted or
overestimated. Metal recov
eries are dependent on human
ingenuity and watchfulness,
that may sometimes sleep on
the job. Enthusiasm may lead
;o extravagance or the ore may
eot justify big investments,
ays the Wallace (Id.) Press
rimes Mining Review.
But there is just about as
much of a gamble in farming
>r in business as there is in
ronest and scientific mining,
'fine developers are genera’ly
men of broad vision, energy
rnd initiative. They have left
heir mark on this country
Torn east to west.
The metal mining industry is
m asset to any state. Develop
ment of this natural resource
diould be carried on along
ntelligent and progressive
ines, with full encouragement
>y both state and national gov
ernments. Modern mining and
nilli.og methods are adding to
he opportunities for old and
:e\v developments in many
western states, with resulting
>cnefits to the country.
>n the next Arctic flighty That
\rrangement is said to be
neve reliable than three mot
