starts From Furnace
The fire started in the school build
ing. The ianitor started fire in the
furnace early in the morning and
went home TO breakfast. Soon after
ward the structure was found to be
ablaze. The department YVES practi-
cally helpless on account of the fact
that the water mains have not been
extended to that part of the city. and
their efforts were confined entirely to
saving the surrounding dwellings. a
number of the latter took fire, but all
with the exception of Blackman's,
which was rear the burning building
were saved by the use of buckets and
the chemical engine.
Accom- modated 244 Pupils.
The school was an old 2-story frame
affair, originally known as the Stew
artville school. As the need for room
grew it had received additions until it
accom- modated PA pupils. taught by
eight teachers.
The loss on the dwelling will not
exceed 81. SEQ. The school was in-

Ninety Days in Which to Record.


 IL is also urged with much force that Marple's loeat on became void aud the ground open for relocation on August 3rd. for the failvre of Marple to record his notice within thirty days. The rule adopted prior to June 6, 1900. by the miners in the Golden Gate mining district provided :.
 :'All loea,ors must file for record notices of location on or before 30 days from the date of location. Failure to comply with this rule forfeits all rights to the claims located and such claims are open to relocatiCn."
 Twenty-seven days before Marp'e made his location, however the Alaska code came into effect. Section 10 of the political code contains this prUvis- ion:
 Notices of location of mining claims shal be filed fer record within ninety days from the date of the discovery or he claim described in the notice, and all instruments shall be recorded in the recording district in which the prop erty or subject matter affected by the instrument is situated. and where the property OF subject matter is not Situa. led in any established recording district the instrument affecting the same sha be recorded in the office of the clerk of tEe division of the court having super vision over the recording division in which the property or the subject matter Is situated
 On July 27th Marble offered his notice of location at the Clerks offire in Non Q for record: he was informed that he had nineiy days to record it. and it was then refused because the clerk had no books for the purpose at that time. He did not offer it for record. or cause It to be recorded by the mln- ing recorder in the Golden GaIe min ing district within thirty days. On the 24th day of August he caused it to be recorded in Port Clarence recording district, and on September 2Sth, a duly appointed commissioner and recorder having then been appointed in an for KougarOk recording district. he caused it to be recorded there. It is agreed that his claim was within the KOusar0k district, and hat his nOti,e was lecor- ded therein within nine'y days from the date Of his location. On August 3rd. however. Martin had located the same claim, and OF that date caused his notice of location to be recorded in the office of the recorder for the Gold en Gate mining district. The defen- dants urge that by his failure to re- cord Marple'S claim was forfeited. and that the Martin location is valid and entitled them to the possession of the claim.

As To Miners Rules.

Section l6, of the political code. reit- crates the general provisions of the law that the miners in district neeting. cannot enact and enforce rule in con- ii ct with the laws of the Upited States, and the provision in Section l5, pro viding that the no ices of location shall be filed for record within ninety days, if in conflict with the miners rule de- pended on by the defendants. must be held to repeal it. Within ninety days.' means that it >hall be d, re mot beyond ninety days from date of discovery.

the stalking is alsoa sufficient marking of the btundaries, and the original location of Marp'e valid and effectual to reserve the property as mine.
 The conclusions reached as to the Marble notice of lrcation are applic- able to that by Cooper. His notice contains the name of the locator, the date of the location. and the cain is described as. ''Number Four teD on Lulu creek. tributary of Iron Creek" The finding is that he .et his stakes. and that they were sutiicieE! to mark the boundaries of the claim SO that they could be readily traced. His st ake- and his location according to the well, recognized system by numbering the base line, are sufficient and his notice of location and marking of boundaries are sustained,

FOrfeitures Are OdiOus.

And 8 compliance with the act at any time before the last day has expired is within the statute. It is answered, by the defendants. while it is true that Congress has given ninety days within which to do the recording. that min CTS rule may limit the time-it may shorten the period. though it canno extend it beyCndI the 20 days. It is a sound princip @ of equity and good ronscit nee that fOrfeitures are deemed Odious, and courts will not resolve a d"nbt either of law or fact. in favor of q forfeiture of pr rperty rights once fully and fairly vested. The inteMion of the law to forfeit the estate must\ Joe so clear as ,O leave the court no ro0p for other action, before it will ter thu decree. Equity often interferes to relieve against fOrfeitures, but never to dive>t estates ny enforcing them.
 Bul l think a fair construction of the act of June 6. 1909, places this ella $ of cases upon even frmer hasis. This act was in effect wheniMarple made his localion. and it gave him the right to file his notice for record at any tine within ninety days, Or as was said, he might file it safely at any time mot beyond" ninety days from his da'e of discov' ry. The provision in he act o: June 6Lh is in direct conflict with the Golden Gate miners rule; it is upon the same subject matter and is the ex- pression of the supreme legislative will. There are no exceptions, reset vations or saving clauses in the act. is quite clear 10 my mind, too, that tH provision giving ninety days with which to record such notices IS reasol able and necessary in this country great distances. bad trails and rigorol climate, and that any miners rule regulation. even if permissible und{ any canon of construction; would unreasonable and destructive of III very rights which the cct of Cong.cI souA ht 70 protect, and would fpr lh4 rea,tn If none other, be void and of Il effect
