nine miners from nearly every mining
district in Alaska, and among the crowd,

trade of the miners had their goods

NORTHERN PACIFIC'S
GENERAL CREDITORS
In Addition to Owning the Road, a
Vast Sum Is Found to Be
Due Them,

MILWAUKEE, Sept. Especial Mas
ter Cary has filed decision in the United
States Court of great Importance to the
general creditors of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company. Master Cary finds
that there is due the Creditors Company,
although 1t has succeeded in acquiring
the entire property of the Northern Pa
cifie, the enormous sum of $50, 1872 ,6S1 73,
With interest from September 1. This may
be added to a further sum which will
become due January /, 1902, amounting to
$499, Ut.
The only tangible assets of the North
ern Pacific Company that remain are the
lands east of the Missouri River in North
Dakota and Minnesota. There are nearly
four million acres, but there is a great
deal of litigation to be settled first with
reference to taxes that have not been
paid and the holders of tax certificates
to settle with. These lands are in the
possession of Receivers Bigelow and Nc
Henry and are valued at not more than
$4,000, 900.
The decision, if upheld, will give the
company about 80 per cent of the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the lands, with 10
per cent to the other general creditors
