A great mining suit has been filed in
the District Court at Nome, in which
the Pure Gold" faction of the Bessie
mining claim and the recovery of $780,

are at stake.
The suit is brought by the scandia
company against Messrs. Greenberg,
Foster, Denhart, Nixon. Bard and
Boucher by the Scandal Mining Syndi-
cate. The plaintiffs allege that the
ground was staked out by John Lutsch-

ISSUES ARE INVOLVED.
Issues of great interest to mining

legal proceedings before the Superior
Court in Shasta County. The Redding
Courier Free Press epitonizes the facts
as follows:

goes up the Nile and stops off at the
right spots can do a clean job of sight

Assouan requires the greater part of
a lifetime Those travellers who have
money to burn and are content to set

Incidence charter the private daha-

dahabeah he tears up the calendar
and lets his watch run down. Those
who have more money and are in
hurry use the private steam dahabeahs.
A majority of travellers go by pas
senger boats. The tourist steamers de-
vote three weeks to a loafing voyage
up to Assouan and back, with daily
excursions to the graveyards and
ruins. The express steamers, carrying
freight and native passengers, take less
time for the round trip, as they skip
some of the less interesting antiquities.
We took an express steamer, thereby
missing some of the tombs and tenn
pies, but still getting enough of them

the river, the mud bank and the grow

fair understanding of the architectural
splendor of those ancient sepulchres.
Travelling on the Nile has two re-
liable features to commend 1t. The
weather is always fair and the native
population constantly enlivens the pic

with sails and every inch along the
