A WELCOME MINING DECISION

The best thing that has happened for the mining industry of Alaska is the recent decision of Judge Wickersham to the effect that there can be no valid location made of placer claim until after gold had been actually discovered upon it; that discovery must proceed location. This decision, in effect de- clares void the countless locations made by powers of attorney and by the shiftless adventurers who have planted location stakes all over each new dis trict, without ever having prospected a single claim of the many they have 10
 cated. Such locations have tied up some of the best districts in Alaska and prevented their development. The law has limited each prospector to one claim in district, but permits of To- cations being made by powers of attor- ney. Armed with dozens of powers of attorney, often signed by people who have never visited Alaska and never intend to do so, professional locators have been enabled to cover the whole country with fictitious claims, and the bone-fde prospector, who might have developed claim, is ex- cluded from the district, save when he happens to be first on the ground.
 The decision of Judge Wickersham seems to be sound law. There is an un- broken series of decisions by the fed

eral courts, followed in the great maj ority of states by the state courts, to the effect that location of lode claim, in advance of the discovery of the lode on the claim, is absolutely void; that discovery must in every instance pre- cede location, in order to give a valid claim. It is true that in this state, par ticularly, this rule of law has been dis regarded, and that following the dis covery of one good ledge the surround ing country for miles has often been located, without the faintest attempt to discover whether within the limits of the claims so staked off there is any indication of a mineral bearing lode. All of the claims so located are, as matter of fact, void and any one can enter upon such claim, not being worked, prospect it, and if he discovers ledge, can make location which will give him a possessory right to the property, without regard to the original attemptat location.
 The decision of Judge Wickersham may, however, result in some trouble. The knowledge that the original loca- tions of claims upon which no pros pecting has ever been done are void will doubtless prompt large amount of relocating of such claims by parties who will take the trouble to comply with the law; who will prospect to the extent at least of discovering colors before proceeding to stake out and To- cate. There may be instances in which the original locators will attempt to hold by force, aud conflicts will doubt less arise over the matter.
 If there is a healthy sentiment among the miners in each district, this trouble will be short-lived. The relocator Is not under the head of the "jumper" who takes advantage of technicallty to secure valuable property on which another man has expended time and money. The relocator should have the sympathy of the real miners, because through him and others of his kind the locating by powers of attorney and the attempt to tie up whole districts by speculators will come to naught.-P.-l
 The Yukon Valley News, published at Rampant tells the following: Last week on Little Minook the dogs around the cabin kept up such a racket that Jack Miles couldn't sleep. He turned over in bed and rebuked them in the most forcible language he could com mand; but it was no use-the intoler- able bow-wow went on. Finally he got out of bed and crept cautiously to the door, with billet of stovewood in hand, intending to lambast the first dog he could see. He threw the door open and jumped outside, and Instant ly found himself confronted by big bear, who was feasting off pile of stale biscuits not yard away. At first Miles was too much fustered to at tempt to move, and he and the bear stood looking at each other in silence, Presently the bear reached out toward Jack for another biscuit and, shrieking "G'way from here ye son-of-agun" the man fell backwards into the cabin and shut and barricaded the door. At 2:3O in the morning he peered out and saw the bear curled up asleep in the sun shine few yards away; but when the m orning was we'll advanced he looked again and the unwelcome visitor was gone. Mir. Miles had no gun.
