A BIG SUIT
Wants an Interest in
 Klondike Mines.
William Zahn Claims to Have Been a Partner of the WOrden
 Brothers, of Dawson.

Dawson, Aug. S.-The biggest suit ever begun in the Yukon was filed in the territorial court this morning, in which William Zahn seeks a third of the interests of Charles w. WOrden and the estate of GaSgie Worden, his brother.
 Zahn came into the country in 1896 from Petaluma, California, with the Worden brothers. The Worden boys .staked claims Nos p and 26 Eldorado. and became two of the wealthiest miners of tho Klendike, and are now. reputed to have taken ont perhaps million dollars, while the claims are still heavy producers. ..-Zahn alleges that he and the W0rden brothers made 2n agreement at Petaluma before coming to the Yukon that they should all share alike in whatever they should acquire in min ing. and on this contention he bases a claim for third of the entire, output of the, two famous Eldorado claims, as we'll .as a third interest in each
 Caggie WorGen died about about year ago. Charles Worden is still in camp. and is reported to have made heavy investments outside, particularly in Seattle.

DEXTER
 IS LIVELY Many Claims Are Being
 Worked. WATER FROM DlTCN The MiGCene Ditch COmpanyS New Ditch Is a Great
 Success.
WATER FROM DiTCH

Dexter creek is livelier. perhaps, than ever before in its history. Water from the Miocenc Company's ditch was turned on Tuesday, and yesterday and Thtn ,dGy tht creek was alive with men. The rain of Thursday also ma terially aided the work of the miners.
 The ditch is an assured success There were leaks in several places, but this, of course, was expected. and the work of repairing where needed was promptly begun. In day or two the ditch will be in tirst-cla~s condition, and little or no water will escape.
 A number of the claims are working day and night shifts, this being true of J. A. Dufresne's claim. No. 10, and Leo Loewenher&' No. 9, No. [, and Sulli- van X Wilkens' clailn. at the head of Grass gulch, and a number of others.
 The completion of this ditch means q largely increased output of gold from Dexter creek this year Ever since the creek was first opened work has been prosecuted spasmodically only, owing to the absence of water. A heavy rain of several days duration lasted, as d rule, but q brief time after rain had ceased falling.
 The Mioccne Company's ditch, it is stated, has cost nearly @3c0, GOO to con struct. The work has been pushed steadily since its inception.
