SUIT IS FILED
TO RECOVER ON
$112,158 NOTE
Juneau Empire.—A suit for $13 2,
158.67, together with interest at six
per cent on that amount since June
1, 1917, has been filed in the local
Federal District Court against the
Kensington Mining Company, by H.
L. Faulkner, attorney for H. Lons
dale, plaintiff. The defendant com
pany is the owner of a group of
claims in the Berners Bay district.
The complaint alleges that the
company, which was engaged in ex
tensive development work on its
property in 1917, w*as furnished
various sums of money by Col. D. C.
Jackling, Hayden & Stone, B. L.
Thane, and others, in 1917 and
gave as security a promissory note
which forms the basis of the present
suit. Letters from officers of the
company are quoted to the effect
that no payments were ever made
on the indebtedness and that the
concern is without funds at this
time.
The Kensington mine adjoins the
famous Comet property and its own
ers, in developing it, planned to
work it through the tunnel on the
latter group. Owing to advanced
costs of materials, labor, etc., dur
ing the war period, it was unable
to complete its program and since
the war it has been unable to fin
ance a renewal of its program.

REGULATIONS
ON FISH TRAP
LIGHTS REC’D
FISH TRAP LIGHTS DECLARED
PRIVATE AID TO NAVIGATION;
PENALTY THEREOF FIXED.
A copy of the circular recently sent
to all Alaska fish trap operation of
whom the United States Engineer offi
cer at Juneau, has any record of, was
received by the Gateway from James
G. Steese, district engineer. The circu
lar points out that fish trap lights have
now been classed as private aids to
navigation and as such fall within th*‘
same provisions of law as government
aids to navigation which provide a
very serious penalty for interference.
Conditions under which fish trip per
mitsc are granted provide: That fish
ing structures and appliance in naviga
ble waters of the United States shall
be lighted for the safety of navigation,
as follows:
“The lights shall be displayed be
tween sunset and sunrise. They shall
be placed at each end of the structure
excepting where the inner end termin
ates in such situation that there is no
practicable navigation between it and
the highwater line of the adjacent
coast, in which case no inner light
shall be displayed. The outer light
shall be white and the inner light
shall be red.
When several structures or appli
ances are placed on one line with no
navigable passage between them, they
will be considered, for lighting purpos
es as one structure.
mat mere snau oe insiaiieu ana
maintained on the weir, trap, or pound,
by and at the expense of the permittee,
such additional lights and signals as
may be prescribed by Bureau of
Lighthouses, Dept, of Commerce, and
that provision shall be made by the
watchman or otherwise for proper at
tendance or lights and signals, so that
they will at all times be in effective
condition.
The size, capacity, and manner of
maintenance of the lights is specified
in the War Department permit author
izing the erection of the structure or
appliance.
The above requirements are in ac
cordance with formal agreement be
tween the Departments of Commerce
and War and application to the U. S.
Lighthouse service for further author
ity for the maintenance of such lights
is unnecessary.
This office has been advised that
such lights required to be maintained
on fish trap structures are frequently
destroyed or removed by malicious
persons and that prosecution for theft
or malicious destruction of private
property has not been effective to stop
the practice.
You are therefore advised that these
lights have now been declared by the
Department of Commerce to be pri
vate aids to navigation and as such
fall within the provisions of Section 6
of the act of Congress approved May
14, 1908, authorizing additional aids to
navigation in the Lighthouse Service
which provides that: It shall be un
lawful for any person to obstruct or
interfere with any aid to navigation
established or maintained in the Light
house Service under the Commissioner
of Lighthouses, or to anchor any ves
sel in any of the navigable waters of
the United States so as to obstruct or
intei'fere with range lights maintained
therein, and any person violating the
provisions of this section shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
be subject to a fine not exceeding the
sum of $500 for each offense, and each
day during which such violation shall
continue shall be considered as a new
offense.
Pursuant to section 8 ot tne Act oi
Congress approved March 3,'1915, au
thorizing aids to navigation and other
works in the Lighthouse Service, pri
vate aids lawfully maintained are en
titled to the same protection against
interference or obstruction as is af
forded by the above law to Govern
ment aids.
If such interference or obstruction
aecur, a prompt report containing all
the evidence available should be made
to the Commissioner of Lighthouses
through the superintendent of light
houses of the district in which the
aids are situated.
