BIG FIGHT FOR
THE NOME GOLD
Lively Time Promised in the
Nome Country on Account
of Litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, October 2.-Deputy
United States Marshals Shelley Monck-
ton and George II. Burnham left this city
last night for Seattle They are to sail
from that point on Thursday charged
with an important mission at Cape Nome
An order made in this city yesterday by
the Circuit Court of Appeals directs the
Marshals TO arrest Alexander Mckenzie
the receiver in number Of Nome mining
cases. They are also to enforce an order
Of the court which has been disobeyed by
Mckenzie and also by Arthur II. Noyes,
the United States Judge for the District
of Alaska.
In the Court of Appeals yesterday a di-
rect charge was made that Judge Noyes
and Mckenzie were principals in GRIM
inal conspiracy through which citizens
Rad been deprived of mining properties
valued at many thousands of dollars.
The charge came from attorneys repre-
senting the Wild Goose Mining and Trad
ing Company. Charles ID. Lane and other
parties 10 litigation said TO involve prac-
tically every mining claim of large value
in the Nome country.
The charges against Judge Noyes were
first made of record in the Circuit Court
of Appeals some weeks ago. 1t was then
shown that Mckenzie, through the kind
ness OF the Judge. had been placed in pos
session of many thousands of dollars OF
property upon the mere fling of bond
for 5000. The right of Judge Noyes Il
appoint Mckenzie was challenged. Upor
the filing of proper bonds Judge Morrow
granted writ of supersedeas. which an
nuiled the appointment of the reeeive
and directed both Judge Noyes and Nc
Kenzie Immediately TO restore the proper

IMPORTANT.

ALMOST EVERY ONE HAS SOME
thing of value; such as papers, jewelry,
money, keepsakes, ETC., which they are
very anxious to keep safe. At home,
at a hotel or boarding house, there is
always danger of loss from fire, bur-
glary or some one.s carelessness.
WHY NOT MAKE SURE THAT
your valuables are in perfect safety.
FOR A SMALL CHARGE YOU CAN
rent one of our SAFE DEPOSIT BOX
ES. You have your own key, and no
one but yourself (unless you give writ
ten instructions to admit some partic-
ular person) can open your box. Your
box Will be in solid steel vault, the
