Capt. Abercromhie says that from HIS
observation of the Yukon country he be-
lieyes that the best OF the gold diggings
viii be found on the American side. He
has no hesitancy in saying that the half

OF the country. Gold is not the only
metal that abounds. Ha has seen frozen
in the ice huge masses of copper In the
native state.
In conclusion he said that from what he
had learned from the North American
Transportation and Trading Conpany's
Chicago office in the last few days there
was another whirl Of excitement in store
upon the arrival AT Seattle OF the next
boat from the north. According TO his
a2vice5 this boat will bring more gold
than did the Portland and news of the
wealth of the Ci0ndyke that will literally
set the country on fire.

the Clondyke was not known to be bed
of glittering gold.
Kelly was anxious TO return to the
gold fields. but desired to raise money in
order to leave his family in comfortable
circumstances. He met Ron Crawford
and proposed TO sell him a half interest
in his claims for sieea. Crawford hustl-
ed around. mortgaged his property. dis
posed Of his jewelry, and by taking some
friends in witt, him got enough money to
pay Kelly the 81. 90. Crawford went to
the Ciondyke last spring and 10 his dis
may found that young Kelly. not know
ing what his father had done, had sold
the Bonanza claim to an English syndi-
cate for $1,000.
When the elder Kelly found out what
had taken place he said that Crawford
had made his purchase In good faith and
that his rights must be protected. The
affair was referred to the gold commits
sioner. who decided that Crawford and
his associates Were to have half of the
claim. but that they must pay To the
English syndicate $3.50 out OF the first
cleanup, while the kellys should re-
turn 20 the English syndicate 5000 or
half the original purchase price paid by
them 20 young Kelly.
This decision was accepted by all par
ties without q murmur, and that is how
a targle was settled In a day that would
have been a source Of endless litigation
in the United States.
Miners say that Crawfords claim Is
worth between sio1 coo and $780, 90.

The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1897-09-17

Many persons will recall the
drowning of John q. Kraft, a
German, at Sycamore Dale, in
the summer Of 1895. His widow
recently presented his will, which
leaves to her an estate inherited
fromh his father, payable 80 years
from the date Of the will, which
makes it run out in 1902. The
money is invested in Germany,
and the letter being written en-
tirely in the German language,
the dismay Of our honorable
county G. urt when asked to pro-
bate 1t, can easily be imagined.
But with the assistance of the
genial clother, Mamie Nusbaum,
the will was finally translated
and probated Wednesday.
