NOME MINING
MENCHARGED
WITH FRAUD
— ;
The following particulars in refer- j
ence to the arrest of two prominent !
Nome mining men on the charge of
fraud is taken from the Seattle Post
Intelligencer:
“Accompanied only by their attor
ney, W. A. Gilmore, widely known here
and Alaska, and former mayor of the
city of Nome, Jacob Berger and Oscar
W. Ashby, accused by E. C. Backus,
a Minneapolis lumberman, of fraud in
connection with a sale of mining
claims in the Nome country, left here
yesterday for the East to face charges j
against them. Lawyer Gilmore, in a
statement just before the party left,
announced that “there was not a scin
tilla of fact or evidence which would
stand in court to substantiate the
claim of Backus that he had been |
wronged,” and that immediately after |
the party arrived in the Minnesota i
city steps would be taken to bring an <
action for heavy damages against
Backus.
“ ‘There are eight patented claims t
and thirty-six miles of ditch, besides r
four miles of siphon pipe sold to the r
company in which Backus invested his
money,’ said Mr. Gilmore, ‘and the
ground has been proved for years as
rich in gold. The improvements, in j
other words, what is well known to .
Alaskans of the Seward peninsula as j
.the Topkuk ditch, cost Mr. Ashby :
$150,000 in gold coin. Backus, who
obtained trie indictment ot Berger and ]
Ashby by testimony which we will
prove to be false, went into the trade
with his eyes open. He sent experts 1
to the ground and they reported it 1
to be all and more than Berger, acting 1
for himself and Ashby, represented
it. His (Backus’) own people went ,
to the mines to superintend the opera
tions. Every detail of the organiza
tion of the present company, which
owes a large sum secured by mort
gage to Ashby, was handled by Backus
and his agents.
“ 'The original transactions date
back to 1917. Ashby’s mortgage to se
cure his preferred claim has become
overdue. The first year of mining
operations proved bad because of lack j ■
of water, which is no uncommon mat
ter in any placer mining camp. Ashby
had actually paid out $25,000 to a bank
in Nome to clear up claims against the
property before Backus could go
ahead and organize the company in
whose name the property is now held.
“ ‘Both Berger and Ashby have been
known for years to Alaskans as men
of the highest integrity. They treated
Backus openly and fairly in every de
tail. Berger took a 40 per cent in
terest in the mining company, which *
owes money to Ashby. He was to get
$5,000 a year for his services as super
intendent. He has never received a
cent.
“It was because Ashby was on the
point of foreclosing his mortgage that <
Backus brought this utterly unfound
ed action, culminating in the indict
ment. Everyone who knows Berger
and Ashby have complete faith in
their innocence of any crime.”
CHILE AND CUBA ARE
LOYAL TO AMERICA
ROME, June 6 (by mail).—Testify
ing to the esteem of Chile for the <
United States, the Chilean ambassador
to Italy, Signor Enrique Villegas, re
mained in the United States embassy
during the Fiume demonstrations here
in order to assure Thomas Nelson
Page, the American ambassador, that <
Chile wanted to show her staunch loy
alty to America.
The American embassy had been
guarded during the demonstrations by
500 Italian troops, so that access to
the building was extremely difficult. <
Signor Villegas succeeded in gaining
admission past the military guard and
assured the American ambassador of
his country’s and his personal friend
ship for America.
Next day the Cuban minister. Signor
Antonio Martin Rivero, called at the i
embassy to pay his respects and to
state that he had been prevented from
visiting the American ambassador
while the demonstrations were in
progress;
