ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Trouble Over the Organization of n
Nome Gold Mining Concern.

William E Ryan, OF this cI;y, formerly
OF Rochester, y. Y, has returned from a
trip Of five weeks TO the metropolis. where,
in conjunction with William C HaIght OF
New York, he has instituted suit in the
Supreme Court of the State against George
N Wright and the Nome Gold Mining and
Transportation Company Of Nome, Alaska
Mr. Wright is postmaster al Nome Messrs.
Ryan and Haight are mining experts and
promoters. Five hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars is the amount for which they
have entered suit. for professional serY-
ices under contract, in placing six beach
claims and thirty sundry placer claims at
Nome.
Mr. Ryan states that on December I6,
1899. Mr. Wright entered into contract with
himself and Mr.. Haight, at the Imperial
Hotel, New York City, agreeing to give
them one-third of the proceeds accruing
to him from the organization of the CON
pany If they would promote the enter
prise. In the interests Of the scheme, Nj.
Ryan says that they approached broke-,
George Crawford, OF New York, who intro
duced them to a Mr.. Soloman, and through
the latter gentleman. FTent B. LoTing was
induced to advance 5000 900 for OTganiZa-
tion purposes. The company has since been
incorporated under the laws OF New Jer-
sey. with a capital stock of IS, 600 600, by
F. B. LOring. George Crawford. and H. B.
| Thurber. all of New York City. Among
those now interested in the enterprise Mr.
I Ryan states, are former State Senator We'd
der. OF New York; Colonel Dick, Colonel
Shoemaker, of the Revenue Cutter Service;
Representative Cushman. Colonel Ballinger
and others of prominence.
Mr.. Ryan states that through Ills efforts
the proposition was considered by William
A. Clark and John D. Rockefeller. Mr.
Wright. he claims, has failed TO keep his
agreement in any respect. Suit was filed on
May 10 and the answer was re-
turned on the 25th. No date has been set
for the trial. Messrs- Ryan and Haight
| have engaged as counsel J. Hamilton Lewis
of Seattle. Wash; Clifford H. Gest, and
Peter B. Vermilya. of New York. Opposed
TO them are former Judge Noah Davis ana
Mr.. Nash. Machinery valued at $40, 600 has
| been sent to Nome, and it is expected that
this will be attached by the cOmplainants.
