EXCITEMENT AT JUNEAU


PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. %
The steamer Alki, which arrived from
Alaska to-day, brought news of considera-
BILE excitement at Juneau as a result OF a
decision by the government that will re-
suit in the loss of a great many homes
ard considerable property in the best part
of the city. The decision referred TO Is one
that has just been rendered by Secretary
of The Interior Francis, and it gives TO
Mrs. Goldstein a little over twenty acres of
land in the town of Juneau, on which her
husband filed in her name as mining
claim The decision returned by Secretary
Francis ends the matter in which, at one
time or another, a good portion of the cit
izens of Juneau felt personally interested.
In 1856 Rufus Goldstein. citizen of Ju-
neau which was then not much of a town.
filed mineral claim in what was after
wards the best property in the place Not
much was thought Of the matter at that
time. 1t was not until two years later. in
1883. that the public knew of the fact that
a part of the town site was being claimed
for mineral purposes The citizens finally
decided to call public meeting to discuss
up over the matter that Ii was seriously
proposed to either hang Goldstein or throw
| him in the bay on the ground that he was
/ a public enemy. The case was finally taken
into the General Land Office under the IT,
tie of Goldstein VS.. the Town Site OF Ju-
neau. and il was there decided in favor
of the town site. 1t was then carried to
the Supreme Court, and that body at once
referred il TO the Interior Department
which has now decided that the claim OF
Goldstein is valid and must be sustained
1t is said that at present prices for prop
