Decision in a
Mining Case in
Chisana District
The Juneau Dispatch of August 9
tates that Attorney O. A. Tucker, of
that city, has received a telegram j
from San Francisco stating that the
ppellate court had reversed the deci
sion of the district court in the case
of Sutherland vs. Purdy, and that the
| ground in dispute has been given to
the plaintiff.
This is a decision growing out of
the Shushanna strike, and involves
the title to ground on Big Eldorado
creek, claimed by both the plaintiff
and the original action by right of
discovery and location. The action
was filed in the district court of the
I Third division by O. A. Tucker, and
'was heard by Judge F. M. Brown, sit
ting at Cordova, about two years ago,
Attorneys T. J. Donohue and E. E.
Ritchie superseding Mr. Tucker as at
torney for the plaintiff, Sutherland
jin the trial of the case. In this case
! the decision was rendered in favor of
the defendant, and an appeal was tak
en to the higher court by the attor
neys for the plaintiff.
The legal points involved were sev
eral, the most important, perhaps, be
ing the interpretation of that section
'of the mining law requiring a person
making location by power of attor
ney to record such power of attorney
j within the division in which the lo
cation was to be made, as a prerequi
(site to making the location. It was
brought out in the testimony that the
'claim in dispute was located by
George L. Gates on July 6, 1913, un
der an alleged power of attorney giv
en him by F. W. Purdy. The records
of the Shushanna recording precinct
Iwere introduced in evidence in this
' . , , . , , ... i
case and showed that on July 39, 1913
some instrument from F. W. I’urdy to
G. L. Gates, sworn to before' R. Mc
Donald of Fortymile, May 31, 1913,
was filed for record at the request of
W. E. McKinney. It was alleged that
this was a power of attorney, but the
1 records did not show the instrument
in full. This power of attorney was
not produced at the trial, it being al
leged that the instrument had been
| lost while the parties were coming
out from Dawson to attend the trial.
The locat on notice placed by
Gates on the claim in dispute was al- j
so misleading, inasmuch as it was
placed on the upper end of the claim
and read 1,300 feet up-stream, thus
leaving the ground in dispute not
covered. It was alleged by the de
fense that the notice had been moved
from the lowar end of the claim to
the upper by someone after the claim
had beed located.
The plaintiff in the ca.se located the
; ground on August 80, 1013. He al
leged that when he went on the
ground the notice was on the upper
end of the claim, claiming up-stream
and that he considered the ground
jopen to location..
In the trial of the case the plaintiff
'set out that Gates had failed to com
ply with the law in not recording the
power of attorney prior to the loca
tion of the claims required by law
and also that no power of attorney
had been shown to exist. Several
J other points of law were involved in
the case.
•; The lower court returned a verdict
I in favor of the defendant. The at
torneys entered a number of excep
tions and the jury, and to the refu
| sal of the court to incorporate in his
| charge several paragraphs submitted
by the attorneys and an appeal was
taken to the appellate court.
| The decision of the higher court, if
the telegraphic report be correct, com
pletely reverses the findings of the
district court, and placed an entirely
different construction upon tlie pro
visions of the mining law. As this
was only one of a number of similar
cases tried at the same time, where a
dispute had arisen over ground in the
Shushanna located under similar cir
cumstances and afterward re-located
by others for alleged irregularities in
j the location of the claim, and it is said
that one or more of the cases are
j still pending in the appelate court.
Some of the ground in dispute is
very rich, and has been tied up for
] the past two years pending a decision
by the court.
The Valdez attorneys for the appel
lant, T. J. Donohoe and E. E. Ritchie
j have received no notice yet of a de
i cision in the case.

Epidemic of
Bad Boys As
Result ofi War
LONDON, August 12.—(By Mail)
Sngland is being swept by an epidem
' c of bad boys.
Ever since the war began thousands
1 if homes have been left in charge of
mothers who had depended on their j
men to discipline the youngsters. Un- 1
restrained, now that their fathers arc
at the front, the fatherless generation
is runing the gamut of mischief and i
petty crime.
American mothers left in the same
predicament at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war will under
stand how sorely tried are the Eng
lishwomen in attempting to keep theii
sons in the paths of righteousness.
The situation is aggravated because ;!
the war has given rise to impetuous ;
actions and words on the part of the 1:
youngsters, who daily read and hearji
|of carnage and passion in the war!;
zones. • * S
In appealing for funds for a home |
for boys today, the Bishop of Man- i
: Chester declared that “anyone who has \
seen a mother trying to manage a ■
boy between the ages of 14 and 16 |
knows she has her hands full. Her i
control is an appeal to the boy’s af- j
fection and it is very difficult for her ,
to enforce the needed appeal to the
boy’s sense of duty.”
Hundreds of boys have been ar
rested for petty offenses, who are too
i young to join the colors and too old
to put up with feminine discipline.
■ Juvenile homes are rapidly filling
up with boys who have been declared
incorrigible after numerous appear
ances in court. The London papers
carry advertisements offering counsel
and help to mothers whose sons have
become unruly. The private services
of men who have had had wide expe
rience in handling boys are offered.
Records show that the majority of
these bad boys come from war wid
ows’ homes.
