CASS CO. man IN
INTERESTING CASE
ANDREW JENSEN OF BUFFALO IS
CALLED UPON TO TELL OF THE
FIRST CLAIMS LAID IN ALASKA
WHEN GOLD WAS DISCOVERED
IN FAR NORTH.

AS result or his invasion OF the
Alaskan gold field in 1899 where he
laid out a valuable claim. Andrew Jen-
sen, a well known man living at Buff
falo in this county, has been called
upon TO furnish testimony in one Of
the most important cases that ever
came before the attention Of the courts
Of Alaska.
The case is Pioneer Mining Co. VS..
the Pacific Coal q Transportation Co..
and has to do with certain boundaries
of claims laid out years ago. Mr..
Jensen offered his testimony by de-
position yesterday before e. G. Gearey,
jr., clerk of the county court.
In 1899 Jensen went to Alaska and
was on the ground when the gold dis
covery became known. He staked out
a claim which adjoined the same one
as that of Linderberg, the Dane who
discovered the Alaskan gold. Later
he sold his claim to party and the
man who purchased 1t sold 1t to the
Pioneer Mining Co.
While in Alaska Jensen assisted a
friend in locating a claim and the
claim of the friend afterwards became
the property OF the Pacific Coal &
Mining Co.
Both claims later developed to be
abundant in ore and the claim Of Jen-
sen was especially rich. The owners
of the two claims have gotten into a
dispute relative to the boundary lines
between their property
Jensen's deposition told how he had
located his claim and where, accord
ing to the plan drawn and sent here.
he had set out his stakes. He also
gave in his deposition some informa-
ton regarding which claim in his
opinion, was prior.
The testimony Of the Cass county
man is thought to have a most inn
portant bearing in the case. which
i will be tried in the Alaskan courts.
Jensen was an intimate friend OF
I.inderberg, the first person to find
/ gold In Alaska and the two men lived
side by side. Linderberg went to the
far north for the government for the
purpose Of securing RENDERS and
while there he discovered the gold.
He is now the president OF the
Pioneer Mining Co.
