DAMl GREEK CLAIM
The Tactics Pursued By Commits SiOner Cochran, of .kOugarOk, in Relation to No. Dahl Creek High-Handed Proceedings.

No. Dahl creek is rich. That k one reason why it is in litigation. and l perhaps it is also the reason why one set of laymen hI.ve tnen prevented | from working, wh4c the other set backed it is alleged by Commissioner Cochran. of kouYarok district. are per mitted to continue work sand extract gold as they please.
 On August l2 four men cleaned up 42 ounces of gold on the claim: on tn" 18th they cleaned up j2 ounce, in To hours. No. is pronounced the banner claim of the creek. Originally it wa, staked by "Check ers' Macadams. who sold it to Count Podhorski and.N. r. Brander. But "CheckerS, it seems, had a part ner whom, in the sale. he overlooked. This was C. F. Schneider, w4ee had stalk ed Macadams.
 The history of the present trouble dales from last fall. when J.,I. Walsh, who hatd been on Dahl'creek and pros rcctet the ground, got d lay'from Mac adams Later W. r. Code got lay from I'Odhorski and Brander, who had purchased from Mawdalns. Walsh and code combined forces. put in camp and supplies at q cost of S4OG0. This was last March. In the meantime Schneider. who claimed d half interest with Macadams. had let a lay to J. r. Drake. Drake arrived on the claim so it is alleged, and threw off Code and Walsh outfit. but Walsh made camp again and prepared to go to work. taken before Commissioner Cochran at Mary'S Igloo. He refused to give bail and after six day, detention he was re- leased. Code and Walsh went back to | the claim and proceeded to open it up, and just as they had completed ''etrip- ping" portion of the claiah, Drake commcnced running ditch through Code and Walsh $ dam. Walsh stopped the work and he was arrested on a charge of rioting and taken to Mary's Igloo. Bonds were offered but refused and Walsh was brought to Nome where he was again released on bonds.
 While Walsh wa, in Nome an arm istice was effected and both parties went to work in conjunction and cleaned up 5000 Nos. , and 9 on Quartz in which Schneider also claims an interest. were being worked jointly by the laymen, but not get an accounting and Code told | Drake the armistice was off. Then ac- cording to Codes story comes another phase. He alleges that Shel Daniels, his foreman on No. 1 Dahl, betrayed | him: that he left the best part of the ground untouched, merely skimmin@ the surface and he had reason 10 believe thatlDaniels Was in collision with Cocl:- ran, the commissioner. Code discharg- ed Daniels, the specific reason being, SC he alleges. that Daniels tried to get the employees of the claim.to make clean up at midnight while he slept. Then, Code alleges. Cochran, Drake and Dan
