JUNEAU MAN SECURES
 GOOD CHISANA CLAIM

F. O'Neil Tennessee Kid), who left Juneau early last spring was one of the first of the Whitehorse crowd, although he was not able to get away from Whitehorse until three weeks after the first stampeders left, to reach the Chisana diggings Mir. O'Neil re- gently came out from the Chisana and is now in Juneau. Mir. O'Neil is very enthusiastic about the Chisana. He arrived there too late to get a loca- ton on the creek claims close to dis covery, but secured what he consid- CTS just as good or better, a fine bench claim on Gold hill lying between the streams carrying the good pay.
 Mir O'Neil exhibited a small nugget weighing perhaps a pennyweigh which he says he obtained from his bench claim at a depth of four feet. He did not reach bedrock. The ground he says is frozen and the hills are great deposits of ouriferous gravels. MT. O. Neil was formerly connected with the Copper River and oNrthwestern rail road, but came to Juneau last April

COURT MUST DECIDE
 QUESTION OF ART

What is a work of art? This is problem that is confronting J. B. Mar shall. This morning a complaint was sworn to and a warrant issued for the arrest of William A. D. Stuart du- Graye on the charge of obtaining mon- ey under false pTetenses. It is al legged by the complaining witness, NJ. l.. Baker, a well known Seattle in- surance man, that he purchased for $17 from the defendant what the lat ter represented to be an oil painting done by his own hand but that in fact it is an ordinary printed chromo stretched over canvass, touched up and vanished to look like a real paint ing
 The defendant says that it is a real painting and that he did it himself while a resident of Sunrise. Alaska; and that the paper was pasted on the canvas before he commenced to i'm press his inspiration in colors.
 Judge Marshall evidently thinks there is altogether too much art con nected with the case for 2ne unac- quainted with pigments and their eff fleets for he is seeking expert testi- mony. The alleged painting is about two feet square and represents a scene in an artists studio.
 The case will come on for a hear ing tomorrow William A. D. Stuart duGraye is at liberty on $4OO bond.
