News : FAIRBANKS : Notes
Peter Steil, Correspondent
the verdict returned by a jury in
; the District Court, on Friday last,
in favor of William Grant, plaintiff,
and against W. J. Campbell and J.
i L. Tobin, involved possession of the
| placer claim known as the Hill Bench
and the quartz mining claim known
as the Hillside Lode Claim, on t'n?
’ left limit of Friday Creek and the
1 rifrnt limit of Moose Creek, and ly
ing down hill and in a southerly
direction from the mouth of Quig
ley’s tunnel on the Red Top Lode
Mining Claim, in the Kantishr.a Min
ing District, Alaska.
The trial started the morning of
February 1, and from the beginning
until the verdict was read, and even
after, attracted more attention from
mining men than any case in the
District Court in the last ten years.
Questions of conflict between the
rights of placer claimants and quartz
locators, which had never before
arisen in Alaska, were involved in
this case.
The jury necessarily found, by the
verdict: 1st—That plaintiff. Grant,
owned a valid placer mining claim
at the time the defendants entered
upon the same, without plaintiff's
consent.
2nd—Defendants thereupon pros
pected therein by sinking a shaft
forty feet, or more, in depth, and
discovering therein a vein or lode
of ore in place, and located a quart'
claim as the Silver King Lode Claim.
! 3rd—That the vein or lode thus
i discovered by defendants was there
; tofore unknown to exist within the
boundaries of plaintiff"s placer claim
and that, therefore, the defendants
were trespassers, and that they
could not acquire any rights or
; initiate any title to tfieir attempted
Silver King Lode by their acts in
trespass, and that defendants’ lode
j claim was. therefore, void.
I 4th—That after said vein was dis
j covered and uncovered by defena
I ants, such vein being then a known
1 vein, or a lode then known to ex
; ist. plaintiff made a quartz location
j 1,500 feet along the vein as the
Hillside Lode Mining Claim, which
quartz location of plaintiff, as well
as plaictifTs placer claim, the jury
| found to be valid, and that the plain
tiff was, therefore, entitled to the
! possession of both placer and quartz
. for
! Morton E. Stevens conducted the
! case as plaintiff's attorney, and R.
j F. Roth represented the defendants.
The jury trying the case was com
i posed of James McIntosh, G. M.
! Crites, C. T. Hinckley. H W. At
; wood. J. C. Nail. John Howie,
i Archie McIntyre Henry Loer, Jay
