NEW PHASE OF CASE
AGAINST ARTHUR E.
IRONMONGER SOL.A.
Klondfke Promoter Has Secured
Possession Of Disputed Prop
erty. and Wil sae for DAM
ages for False imprisonment.

The rather sensational case OF Arthur E.
Ironmonger Sofa, an English promoter OF
Dawson mining enterprises. who was ar
rested in the Klondiks last summer charg-
ed with a felony. has assumed a new phase
that has again brought it before the popn-
lar mind in the greatest mining camp on
the Yukon. Sofa, after being confined IN
the jail at Dawson for period OF twelve
days. was released and is now on his way
to England, there TO bring a damage suit
against the men who caused his arrest.
The story Of Sofas trouble with an En-
giish syndicate Of mining investors recalls
the era OF speculation and gambling in
mining options which began in the late
summer and early fail Of 1887 and which
ragged with unequaied viruIence for several
months Sofa was a promoter. and said to
be a very shrewd one. He left Dawson in
the spring Of this year with an option for
the purchase OF claim No. s2 below dis
covery on Bonanza creek. 1t is said that
he placed his claim in London, the pur-
chasers. an English syndicate represented
by A. T.. MeFariane, agreeing to buy II OF
him for $4,000. OF this amount. it IS said,
$1,000 was placed on deposit In bank In
escrow pending the final transfer.
When Sofa returned TO Dawson last
summer TO complete the transaction he
