railroad corporations. 1t

railroad corporations. 1t is evil
dent that this important tax law, SO
full of consequence to the State,
made a great impression on the
United States Supreme court, and
it is practically impossible to give a
synopsis of the decision, from the
fact that although it was unanimous
on the question of reversal the
court was greatly divided upon the
grounds offered for reaching this
conclusion. The majority opinion
is written by Justice Brewer, and
is concurred in by Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Shiras and
Peckham. Justice Brown also con-
ours upon grounds not stated, and
this makes majority of the court.
On the other hand Justice White
delivered strong opinion concur
ring in the judgment OF reversal
for various reasons stated, and in
his opinion he is supported by Jus
tees Harlan, Gray and McKenna.
The opinion of the court by JUS
tice Brewer concludesin the follow
ing language:
I'VE are of the opinion that there
was valid contract made with
these companies in respect to the
taxation of these lands, contract
which it was. beyond the State to
impair. That this subsequent leg
islation does impair that contract
cannot therefore be sustained. The
Judgment Of the Supreme Court of
Minnesota is reversed as to the
lands belonging to the Great North
ern railroad company: AND the case
is remanded for further proceed
ings not inconsistent with this opin-
ion. .
The decision affects railroad
land in Redwood county very little.
Auditor Tompkins stated last Thurs
day that there was only one or two
quarter sections in the county be-
longing to the railroad companies,
the remainder having been sold I'M
der contract, or absolute deeds
given, placing the lands under the
general tax laws.

Contest Over Motion for Non
 Suit Won By Plaintiff.
POINT WAS A CLOSE ONE
Nearly All Day Consumed by the Legal Arguments of Counsel Question as to Recording Mining Claims.

The trial of the Jack Wade cases yesterday developed into legal battle, and the victory was with the plaintiff. Nearly all day was consumed in argu- ments by counsel over motion of de- fendants for preemptory instructions to the jury to find for the defendants. The motion was filed at once after the plaintiff had introduced all his testi> mony, which was during the morning session.
 The point relied upon by the defend ants for non-suit was that the plain tiff had pleaded that mining district had been formed in the Jack Wade creek district. The rules and regula- tions provided that claim had to be recorded within thirty days after it's location. After showing this the plain. tiff failed to prove that the claim in con- troversy had been recorded, which de- fendants maintained was fatal defect.
 In ruling, Judge Brown admitted that the question was close one though he denied the motion and per mitted the plaintiff to amend his plead ings by striking out all reference to the recording district.
 The motion was argued by R. w Jennings and Judge Delaney for tn, defendants and by Judge Allen and J G. Price for the plaintiff. The defend ants will introduce testimony today.
 A stipulation was entered into b, both parties yesterday in the contro versy between the Washington & Alas ka S s. Co. and F. B. Romo, gar nishee, to sell the coal and hay whicf had been garnished, the proceeds to bt deposited in court and paid out in ac. cordan with the termination of tht suit

RESERVED CLAIMS
 OPENED ID LOCATION Royalty on KlOndike Gold
 Rescinded.
DAWSON TO HAVE MINT
Judge Dugas Is Returning From
 Ottawa With This Good News for the Miners of the Klondike--Some ofthe Reserved Claims Are Rich.

Private advices from Ottawa are to the effect that Judge Dugas will return to Dawson. and that he will be here in few days. Also that he will be able to author itatlvely declare to the people of Dawson when he arrives there that much desirable legislation has been obtained in Ottawa with the view of bettering conditions in the Klondke.
 One of these is that all the claims reserv- ed by the government are to be thrown open for location. That such reserves should be made subject to the will or whm of the minister of the interior did seem to | be public outrage and there has been a great outcrv made in regard to if. But when the DAILY ALASKAN bearing this exclusive news arrives in Dawson there is l not likely to be any general stampede 10 old creeks, for several reasons. For in stance, one of the greatest stampedes Daw- son had was to Swede creek, one Of the tributaries of the Yukon only nine miles from Dawson. It was staked from source to uiOutiis Dut HUI q SftikiG uidl Oiu HIS as sessment work on it and of course it re- verted to the crown.
 There are other grounds that are in similar condition. There are also suppos- edlv rich dlggings that are in government reserve, but for these there are plenty of government friends. And it must be re- membered that there are only four or five really rich creeks in the Klondike, and that the ground on all these was staked before the law as to government reserve came into effect
 Still Dawson people will be glad that the obnoxious law is done away with and Judge Dugas will further have the pleas ure of informing them that the obnoxious royalty is thing of the past. In connec- ton with the resembling of this law, of course, will be the establishing of an assay office, and while the government will make some profit out of this. it will be con yenence that all the miners will hail with | gladness.
 There i, general election on in Canada, and the "outs" were making good part of their thunder out of the outrages perpe- trated upon the people of the Yukon; the ''ins" have stolen their thunder by making these generous concessions.
