SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.—
The federal circuit court of appeals
has decided that the failure to record
power of attorney in Alaska invali
dates title to mining claim.
The particular case was a mining
claim in the Shushanna or Chisana
district, at the head of White river,
in which Dan Sutherland is given title
to the claim by the decision of the
court.
The claim was filed on by Suther
land after it had been located by G.
L. Gates who located it by power of
attorney from F. W. Purdy, and the
power of attorney was not recorded.

Novel Method of
There is one man out on the main
line of the government railroad who
, should have no trouble making plenty
| of money from his potato crop. He
has planted his rows of the starchy
vegetable on the side of a very steep
hill, through which the railroad had
to make a cut. The hill is so steep
i that all he has to do to market his
crop is to build a spur along the bot
tom of the hill, run on his cars, lay
some grating from the side of the
cars to the hillside several feet away,
and loosen several potatoes at the top
of the hill. These potatoes would
quickly gather momentum and start
a young land and potato slide. When
this mass of earth and potatoes reach
ed the grating, the earth, being very
soft and fine, would drop through, -
while the potatoes would scoot across '
and drop into the freight car. Alas
ka, the land of plenty, will soon come
into its own.
FAIRBANKS TEAM
WINS FROM NENANA
NENANA, Alaska, Aug. 1.—The i
I first game of baseball ever played in !
this new railroad town was played j
last Sunday when the Fairbanks team I
won, 3-2. A big excursion was run i

It is estimated that at least $5,000 1 I
| changed hands on the game, for both 1
, teams had plenty of backing. The
| Fairbanks sports were jubilant when
! their team won and they were not a
bit backward about telling who they
were and where they hailed from.
