History and Side Llshts.


 The land involved in this suit has been the subject of much litigation the first suit having been brought in 1896 by Wm. Borbridge against the Treadwell people to restrain the lat ter from dumping waste formed by the construction of the Ready Bullion mill on the property claimed by Bor bridge at that time known as the Waterwitch claim. The next suit was brought in the district court in 1901 by the Treadwell people who sought to prevent Borbridge from sinking a shaft on the waterwitch alleging that the water of the channel was admitted to the underground working of the Ready Bullion mine by the blasting shaft. A restraining order was grant ed in the last named case. In 1907 the attorneys of the Cincinnati-Alas' ka Mining Company ct al made ad' verse application for patent and the TreadweI Company filed an adverse claim in the district court This ad' verse claim was dismissed by stipula' tion on the part of the parties at suit.
 In 1909 the entry of the applicants was allowed. The hearing now be- fore the local land office Is the re suit of the protests filed by the Tread we'll people at the time that they filed their adverse claims. In the interim the case has been before the commits sloner of the general land offc.
 Among the well known people of Ju neau who have been interested in the land in contest at one time or another are the following: John Rosewall Antonio Marks, now living in Tread well, Joe McCombs, now living in Te nakeee: John Prior, now deceased Tom Smith, of Juneau; Samuel Stra ter. Captain John H. Mccormack John Johnston, William Bunge, VII liam Borbridge C"Cordwood Jim died June 19O9), William steinbeck H. I. Cleiver, Milo Kelly, John Curry J. B. Martin, besides small army O attorneys.
 Tho interest in the case lies in tho fact that the applicants have succeed ed in alleging a location of a shoe string tract of ground upon the ape' of the ledge or vein between tho Treadwell properties located by tho Treadwell people as near the shore a. they could get, and the line of ordi nary high tide. If the applicants ar' able to prove title to the land the! claim, they allege that they have owe two thousand feet of the Treadwel vein dipping out under Gastinea' channel, which is estimated to con tain untold millions of gold values.
 There have been exciting event connected with this contest. One nigh Earl Hunter, now postmaster of Ju neau but then a launch pilot wit Billy Dickinson, took a party owe consisting of J. B. Denny J.

 The woman is somewhat vain and proud of her looks and when she was taken to the photograph gallery to have her picture taken she said 1t was shame that she did not have her party dress with her, for, as she put 1t, "in my evening gown I cer- talnly look stunning" She said that she was writing a novel which would contain the story of her life and that her picture woGld appear in the novel in Indian costume.
 Nothing is too good for Mrs. Wiley and before she was in jail two hours arrangements had been made with one of the hotels to furnish her three meals day, and her cell at the jail was made as comfortable as possible. She said that 1t was all over between herself and H. E. Whaley, the Virgin ian who was arrested with her.
 "T decline to pay for Whaley's meals" she advised the jailer And, after thinking the matter over, think that liver and beans is about his cal. ibre."
 While not admitting that she stole the horse from G. Money for which she was arrested, she says that she has some recollection of taking a horseback ride on a strange horse about the time the Money horse dis appeared. According to the evidence secured by Deputy Sheriff Fowler, she crossed the Grand River with the Money horse on the night that it dis appeared.
 She was attired in full hunting and camping costume, and to the ferry. man who asked her if she was going camping she replied that she might spend the night on horseback and if she got tired she would sleep on a slicker that she was wearing.
 Her Life In the Open.
 The horse was located in the pos session of full.blood in Cherokee County, who stated that he had bought it from Della Wiley. The woman, it is understood, has spent the past two months fishing and camping near the Illinois River, and on her return to Wagoner she was ar. rested.
 When asked to talk about her life Mrs. Wiley said: Whats the use? I'm the one that is living it. I like to ride and shoot and fish and sleep out of doors, and when it comes to breaking ponies or roping wild steer I will take off my hat to none of the boys in this country"
 It is said in Wagoner that she is a wonderful rife shot, and that when 1t comes to riding she outclasses any other woman in Northern Oklahoma. She is at home in the saddle and spends most of her time in the open.

Last Saturday U. S, Registrar Walker and Receiver Boyle rendered their decision in the celebrated case entitled "Tho Treadwell Go. vs. Gin clnnati-Alaska Co.,, ct al," involving title to strip of land along the beach extending from a short distance south of the Ready Bullion mill to the Mexican bunllhouses, claimed by the Treadwell people under patents issued to them in 1890 for the Gold en Chariot lode claim and in 1891 for the Omega lode claim and Omega mill site; and, claimed by the Gin cinnati-AlasRa Mining Company upon mineral locations for the Ready Bull lion, No. 8, and Ready Bullion, No. 4, lode claims, for which they have ap- piled for patents in the Juneau land office.
 The Golden Chariot claim was To. cated in 1881 by Antone Marks ct al and the Omega lode and the Omega mill site was located by John Tread well in 1883 and 1884. The Ready Bullion No. 8 and the Ready Bullion No. were located in 1901 by Wm. Borbrldge, known as "Cordwood Jim" and Samuel Strater. The same ground was formerly located and abandoned by Borbridge and John Mccormack.
 The application of the Cincinnati Company was protested by the Tread well Company on the ground that the line of the land patented to the Tread well Company embraced all of the upland lying above the line of ordi nary high tide and that the land claimed by the Cincinnati-Alaska Com. pany is embraced within their pat ents or else lies below the line Of ordinary high water The Treadwell people protest that the land claimed by the Cincinnati.Alaska Company Is not mineral land and that the Gin cinnati.Alaska Company have not done sufficient development work to comply with the requirements of law.
 The Cincinnati-Alaska Mining Com pany ct al denies each and every pro- test
 The Treadwell people claim that mining claim could be meandered and that their side lines along the shore being meander lines, were not the boundary line but only the line to mark the sinuosities of the shore, which is the true boundary line The Cincinnati-Alaska people claimed the line of the shore, the line of ordinary high tide, to be the common with the lines of the Treadwell claims. and all legged that the Treadwen ledge extends the entire length of their claims, about 2,OOO feet.

tide and in length defendent upon the distance of the line of ordinary high tide from the discovery shaft, the ledge having a dip into the chan. mel.
 If the commissioner of the general land office finds that the line of ordi. nary high tide is as determined by the Treadwel people, the Cincinnati- Alaska people will have if the findings of the local land office are upheld, a ledge extending about six feet, or the distance across the discovery shaft.
 The position of the true line of or dinary high tide was not determined in the case. This would seem to be sufficient cause to continue the lid- gation.
 This question of establishing a deh- nite rule for determining ordinary high tide will be one of the intricate problems for the commissioner of the general land office to decide should the case be carried to him as 1t un. doubtedly will,
 Another fine point is whether or not the apex rule is to prevail on mineral lands bordering on tidal wa ters. According to the decision just granted a mineral claimant is enti- tied to only that part of the mineral bearing lode lying downward or yer tically within the side lines of the ground located. The rule of the apex permits a location to follow the lead outside his surface location.
 Granting that the decision given is wrong in that 1t is in conflict with the apex law, what will be the result of a conflict between the rule of the apex and the statutes govern ing tidal waters and shores? The de- cision leaves much to be desired in formulating a rule or law governing mining properties bordering on tidal waters.

The Decision.

nc CGSlSlSIs
 The local land office holds that a mining claim cannot under the stat utes be meandered; that a mineral claimant is restricted to the area within his side lines, projected verti- cally downward. and that any land be- tween the Treadwell side lines and the line of ordinary high tide, is sub- ject to location; that the line of or dinary high tide as marked on the ground by the applicants is not the line as defined in the various decis- ions under the statutes and under the common law; that applicants have therefore, no survey that can be made basis for patent proceedings and moreover, that the ledge located by them does not extend along he length of their two claims, but only across either end of the two claims and under the channel below the beach, where its value is an indeter' minate quantity; that that portion of the ledge on the Ready Bullion No 8, is not available to applicants for location purposes for the reason that the Ready Bullion No. claim at this point is entirely below the line of or dinary high tide.
 The decision finds that the improve ments sought to be applied for pat ent purposes, are not sufficient in val ue except as to Ready Bullion No 4. and that no improvements on that latter claim, because of the strike of the ledge and the distance to the ore bodyon the Ready Bullion No. from the development shaft on the Ready Bullion No. 4 can be applied for the development of the Ready Bullion No, 8.

A very important factor in the ques-
