 During the year the exploration and development work amounted to 9,3T2 it., including 2,733 it. of drifts, 4l5 it.. of cross-cuts, 4,O5I it. of raises, 1,2S1 it.. of intermediate drifts, 759 it. of stations and I33 feet of shaft sinking. The total amount is the largest since the mine was opened. Compared with the pre- ceding year, the increase was chiefly in raises. Some features of the work were a raise connecting the bottom of No. 1 open pit with the 22O-ft level, doing away with tramming on the11o-tt.; a raise from No. 1 west drift of the 33O it. level to connect with the No. , west drift of the 22O-ft. level, for conveying ore to the 33).tt.: the connecting of No. 1 east drift with No. ? east drift on the GOO-ft. level so that the mechanical haulage system can be used to better advantage, and the connecting of the main east drift on the 750-ft level with the bottom of the Alaska United shaft on the 7OO-ft. claim, furnishing excel lent ventilation for the level.

DECISION

Chief Justice Stiness today handed
down the opinion of the appellate division
of the supreme conrt in the case of Ed

Auslan. ct al. Complainant is assignee of
a mortgage made by three Of the children
of the late John McAuslan.
These children set up that there were
no funds applicable TO any payment to
the complainant because the income of
the John McAuslan estate was not made
payable to the children but the trustees
stood charged simply with the payment
of the distribution OF two-thirds OF the
income OF said esteate for the support.
education and advancement OF the chill
dren OF John McAuslan. That Is that the
respondents had no vested rights in the
income.
The court does not agree with that
claim and holds that all the children by
John McAuslan's will have an absolute
and vested right TO their share OF the in
come and that upon the death OF the
widow each child takes his full share OF
the estate These sons interested In this
case therefore the court says took vested
Equitable estates for the life OF their
mother. Such estates are assignable and
hence the assignee can maintain the
present case.
The court holds the respondents as
trustees 80 far as the estate exceeds the
debts whether the creditors OF the tes-
tator are barred because they did not sue
the executors within the time prescribed
by statute" the court says, II cannot
decide in this case as the creditors are
not parties to IL.
The opinion concludes: Although the
complainant says In his brief that the
claims Of creditors are barred we under
stand him 10 mean simply that they are
barred against tie respondents In their
capacity as executors and not as trustees
thus claiming that the whole estate Is
before the court for an accounting and
settlement. II we rightly interpret tho
complainant's position he IL entitled &c
