he himself collapsed against a fence

to the dog thief, that at last he had

HE'S A GREAT MAN.
The Gold Commissioner of the I<Ion.
dixie WicIds Mighty Power.

dixie Wieids Mighty Power.
In the rush of news about the won
derful gold discoveries in the Klondike
there has been mention made once in
awhile about the gold commissioner"
but as yet the public is not aware how
important parsonage he is. 1t is indeed
hard matter for people in the United
States to think of disputes involving
large wealth being settled promptly,
and that settlement putting an end to
all quibbling. According to reports
from the Klondike the gold commits
sioner yields power that is fairly as
tonishing. in that he listens to cases
involving ownership to gold claims and
renders his decisions promptly. If there
has not been some big mistake in reports
his decision is final, and the adjustment
that he announces becomes the law that
all interested parties must abide by.
A case in direct line is that of Ron
Crawford. formerly clerk of the mu-
nicipal court in this city. A year ago
Michael Kelly, well-known Seattle p-
oneer, went to the Klondike with his
son. Father and son located several
claims on different creeks, with the I'M
Outstanding that they would share the
proceeds equally. The elder Kelly de-
cided to return to Seattle last spring
and left his son on the claim last To-
Gated. 1t was what is now known as
No. so, below Discovery. on Bonanza
creek. At that time the Klondike was
not known to be a 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 comfort
able circumstances. He met Ron
Crawford and proposed to sell him a
half interest in his claims for 81 900.
Crawford hustled around, morteaged
his property, disposed of his jewelry
and by taking some friends in with him
got enough money to pay Kelly the
$1,000. Crawford went to the Klon-
dixie last spring, and to his dismay
found that young Kelly. not knowing
what his father had done, had sold the
Bonanza claim to an English syndicate
for $4,000.
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
commissioner, who decided that Craw-
ford and his associates were to have
half of the claim. but that they must
pay to the English syndicate $1,000 out
of the first cleanup, while the Kellys
should return to the English syndicate
$1,000, or half the original purchase
price paid by them to young Kelly.
This decision was accepted by all par
ties without murmur, and that is how
n tangle was settled in day that would
have been source of endless litigation
in the United States.
Miners say that Crawford's claim is
worth between 100000 and $500, oo0.-
