actions. Although badly frozen in both hands and feet he insisted on helping and seeing that the last of his unfortunate charges had left the wreck.
 All~the provisions being lost the unfortunate men were in danger of starvation as there was practically nothing to eat for the 32 men who belonged to the station, some having also come by the ill-fated vessel. These had landed on her arrival. The accommodations were also far from sufficient for such number of men, so temporary structures had to be made.
 Starvation staring all in the face, Fred dersen, with mate named Gus Hendrickson, decided to start for Unga island ill a dory, and leaving the unfortunate camp February 6 they arrived at Sand Point, distance of some 150 miles, February II and informed Mir. Grosvold, who has d large merchandise store at that place, of all that had occurred.
 Mir. GrOsvold immediately got his schooner, tho Edna Watts," into commission and started out for the relief of the sufferers with a supply of provisions but as yet he has not re- turned with any news
 Fred Andersen, who is now fishing for the Seattle & Alaska Goldfish Com pany on Unga island, says the burden of their sufferings snd privations was doubled on seeing, the steamship Dora" pass by in sight both going and coming on her January trip. They were unable to attract the steamers attention by signals at hand.
 The unfortunates who lost their lives were given as decent burial as the place and circumstances would permit.
 Andersen says that when he left the mate of the John F. Miller was very badly frozen and there being no medical aid to be had he would not be surprised to hear of his death.

CHANGES LAW OF
 PLACER MINING
Continued from page 1

covery and work are inconsequential.
 In the case at bar both men claim to have located the ground on May 25 of the same year. The evidence ap- peared to show that White, the de- fendant, located earlier in the day. It was conceded that White began work June 8 following, and Johnson, the plaintiff, June II. Johnson struck bedrock first.
 Judge Wickersham instructed the Jury to return q verdict for White. His statement of the law gave it as it has almost uniformly been under- stood by miners and authorities on mining law. In part he said:
 "I am inclined to think that the rule is, that where the miner goes on piece of ground and stakes it off and begins to sink a hole, begins actual work of sinking shaft for the purpose of making a discovery, that nobody can come on the ground thereafter while he is in actual pos session (though he may be temporar- fly absent) and initiate any rights upon his claim and by means of better facilities than he may have or may acquire, sink a hole quicker to bed rock than he is able to do it and make the first discovery and get his land away from him.
 "Bccause, if that were true, no miner in this community would ever be safe in doing any work on his claim. He would not be protected in any way by the law. He might locate claim and begin work on it, and some man or combination of men who could get larger machinery could overcome him by means of their better machinery and applian- ces for digging holes, could beat him to bedrock. They could take his claim away from him if that were the rule. It dosen't seem to me that this is the rule. The rule ought to be and l think it is, that miner who goes upon piece of ground and goes to work as miner and commences to comply with the mining law by labor ing, digging holes for the purpose of making discovery of gold, ought to be protected by the mining laws.

 Though 1t was still very stormy weather those ashore decided to take the risk of trying to save the ship wrecked crew as something had to be quickly done, tho weather being below zero and the breakers con stantly washing over tho wreck. At the risk of their lives they went out to the wreck in dories and first took those who were still alive, some 12 men, who had alroady been badly frozen; then they got bodies of the unfortunate men whom death had relieved of their gufforings, ten in all.
 Some of the corpses were frozen fast to whatever the mon had hold of and had to be forced loose.

tcrcst in all the projects brought forth through the ingenious mind of Henry D. Reynolds; and when the president of the company comes out in circu- far letter over his signature and makes mention of all these different concerns and of the debts due and owing to them, including the dcpositors in the Reynolds bank, and seems to be fully informed upon the financial status of all, it is such an admission on the part of this officer that the court can do no other than to say that Reynolds and all these companies arc identical, and appear thus far to be liable for all the debts contracted; that they are not individual, separate and dis tinct concerns, but acted only under different names.

Question of Receiver.

'"Thcsc is objection to receiver, which, under other circumstances, is well founded; that it is, in measure, an expensive procedure, and as much as l dislike to create this expense, which to some may seem unnecessary, l believe that the income from this property should be so conscrvcdEtha at the creditors shall all have the benefit of what property there is for their just and valid claims.
 ''It has been shown here that Rev. holds, or these companies, or either of them; have stood silently by and let judgment go against them and at tachment follow. It is also true, in the face of this, that the Reynolds Alaska Development Company says {: We are not bankrupt and I am not adjudging it to be bankrupt. They say, We have $G5, ,OOO in cash, million dollars worth of assets, and are in the market for $500, ,OOO worth of bOndS.'
The Alaska prospector., 1908-03-19
Points Way Out.

'Thc sum total of tho indebtedness of these creditors, who have brought suit here, will not aggregate $24, ,0OO, and it strikes mo very forcibly that if this were true, as to the financial standing of these concerns, this suit would not be pending, but these credi- tors would have their money paid in full. I believe that it is for the best interest of all concerned that recei- yer be appointed, and will appoint as such receiver, Mir. F.. E. Ritchie, fixing his powers and the amount of his bond in an order to be drawn.
 "As far as interfering with the ad- vancement of the community is con- cernod, that is not for the court to pass upon; nor is the court presumed to listen to public sentiment. The question here is Should q receiver be appointed, and have these credit ors q right to such an action of the court. 1 believe it will be for the best interest of not only these oredi- tors, but for tho community in gener- al for every man who has put labor and capital into theso concerns; that all of thom.bo placed in the charge of soDIe person and handled in such q manner that the creditors may be paid. If there is good faith back of the assertion of these concerns as to their solvency, I have no doubt but they will come forward and assist the Court in untangling tho affairs, which seem to have gotten SO badly tangled through gross mismanagemont."

TRADE OUTLOOK
IS VERY Good
]. A. PHILLIPS RETURNS FROM
FIVE WEEKS TRIP IN
EASTERN CITIES.

]. A. Phillips, of the Phillips Big
Store reached home Friday after a
five weeks buying trip in eastern
cities. During his absence Mr..
Phillips visited New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Cleveland. He has
great faith in the season just ap.
preaching and says he has purchased
twice as many suits as last season.
In speaking Of business conditions
Mr.. Phillips said that the general out
look in the west is better than In the
east. The east depends great deal
on the west for its business.
The Sheath Gown.
II find radical change in styles of
ladies SUITS" said Mr.. Phillips In
speaking Of the fall styles, particular
" the greater length of the jackets
which range from 33 to 4S inches. It
is probable that the SO inch jacket
will be the favorite style. Green, navy
blue and copenhagen are the prevail
ing shades.
II notedl that the much talked of
sheath skirt had made it's appearance
in the east. Not the Partisan model,
but an Americanized edition" of the
skirt, the sheath being faced with
taffeta or some other similar goods,
is becoming very popular.
in millinery, hats will be somewhat
heavier and more profusely trimmed
than last season.
