Dawson Sept. 25-Alleging that they are entitled to an interest in the rich claims To- cated in the Chisana by Billy James and his associates, Hugh Bradley and Henry Dubois, local hotel men, have started suit against William James, Matilda Wales and William Johnson. The two plaintiffs claim that they were partners with Johnson in the grubstake agreement which he entered into with James four years ago, but that they have failed to receive their interests in the property and gold secured by James and Nelson. They state further that John son is the only one of the three grubstakers who has received share of the property that the discovery was made year ago, and that neither of them was told of 1t until others were given tips and were thus enabled to secure claims adjoining and near the original discovery.
 The plaintiffs allege that there gre l4 claims in which they are entitled to an in terest
 An injunction has been granted restrain ing James and his associates from dispos- ing of any of the ground until Tuesday, when the formal application to make the injunction permanent will be heard.

 Fletcher T. Hanshaw, who arrived here a few days ago from the new diggings claims to hold an option on all of the ground owned by James and his associates The price which he has agreed to pay for the ground is s5OO,0OO, but the amount covers considerable property which is not involved in the action.

GEORGE CARMACK'S STORY OF
 KLONDIKE'S DISCOVERY RETOLD

pector. Bob Henderson The latter had
 been finding encouraging ''dirt." Carmack
 proposed that he remain and do little
 prospecting. Henderson, grutf Scotch
 man, assented, but told Carmack them
 damn Siwashes will have to get out they cant stake in these diggings."
 Carmack's loyalty to his copper -hued friends caused him to make a stand in their behalf. There was row. and Carmack,
 with the Indians, left the creek. On their return they came upon the promising look ing val ey of Bonanza creek, few miles above the mouth of the klondike. Carmack decided to prospect and told the Indians to keep lookout for bedrock exposures
 Down along the COS designations of
 claims later staked On the creek we picked up few colors," Carmack told his hearers,
 but they diGn't run very high. We didn't find enough to get excited about and as we 1 were pretty shy of grub we decided to go on up to the moose pasture Ga district finally to become known as the golden heart
 of the klondike) and kill some meat We
 got bear and were coming back down
 Bonanza when we again began watching out for prospects.
 Charlie took pan at one point and found little gold. 1 went over to look at it and began examining the ground there-'
 abouts. picked up pretty good-slzed flake of gold on slab of bedrock. It was stained and of such unexpectedly large size that doubted it was gold. 1 bit 1t and saw 1 then that 1t was the real thing. Then i turned the rock over and what l saw
 knocked the breath out of me. The ground
 under it was speckled with gold-looked like 1t was shot full
 That was my find the first Klondike 1 discovery, and I squared of some corner
 posts and staked it as Discovery claim" i Carmack then told of his rush back to
 Forty-m for provisions. He an dthe h.
 dans had stopped only long enough to pan
 about quarter of an ounce of dust. They were NltuUul lODll to iooe a HtSN | and had no money whatever. Forty mllers
 were dubious of the story Carmack told 1 and gave little heed to his extravagant
 offers for a stove and supplies. Finally, however he convinced a few. They out
 fitted him and accompanied him back to the scene of his strike, and thus began the
 great stampede, the event that suddenly
 made the inconspicuous little seaport of Seattle blossom into a great city and cleo trihed the world.
 Many of the old-timers present told per
 scnal experiences almost as interesting as
 Carmack's, making the gathering one of
 the most interesting ever held in the North
 west. Those present were: George w. Car
 mack, George Butler, George P Snow, J.
 c. Nelson, R. H. Mason, Peter Bauman, B.
 Klepser B. R. Campbell, A. H. Winter John P. Bassett, Charles Goodenough, H.

Iditarod pioneer., 1913-10-25

The story of Carmacks discovery of gold in the klondike is thus told by E. S. Bunch i'll the Seattle Times:
 How the richest gold strike of American history was made because preJudlced pros pector had objected to the presence of two redskin companions of George Carmack was the wonder -story-one that never grows old even to those who know its drift with which the discovered of the klondlke at banquet in his honor held spellbound a group of his Northland associates of two decades past,
 The occasion was an observance of Dis coyery day. the anniversary of the first gold strike in the klondike, made by Carmack, August r, 1896, participated in by mem bers of Seattle Lodge of the Yukon Order of Pioneers Ca1mack who now lives in Seattle was guest ot honor.
 The gathering which was held at the Rathskeller was one unique III many re spects Not only were present more than q score of the best known personages of the most spectacular gold rush of the century, but. as well in the center of the group sat the most important figure of all the stam- pedes history-the man who started 1t.
 Carmack, who. like most men of the great open places and frontier, is reserved and yields us treasures of personal reminiscence reluctantly, unexpectedly yielded to re quest made that he devote his part of the speechmaking to detailed first hand story of the great strike Old-timer- like, once he had agreed to the proposition, he undertook to make the narrative complete work, be- ginning with his boyhood days
 The veteran prospector went into the North in youths search of adventure more than with any purpose of mining and for i, tune hunting, when he first sailed up the southeastern coast quarter of a century ago. In 1889 he became established in hunting, fishing, trapping and prospecting about the Southwest. In the several years following his migrations led him towards the interior, but seldom more than week journey He had heard vague reports of mining activities 600 CT 800 miles back from the coast, of the diggings at Circle and Forty mile, and had been lured through wanderlust by the tempting sweep of the mighty Yukon when he had happened upon its headwaters.
 He knew he could launch canoe upon the swift current and keep going for hun dreds of miles, always penetrating new and little explored regions. Forty-mile was on the way. Finally, with friends he had made among the natives he pulled up stakes and became voyageur. He landed in Forty mile and joined the little handful of white people settled there Gold was the talk everywhere, and the fever soon had him as a new victim.
 One of his earliest big hikes out of Forty mile took Carmack up to the mouth of river the Indian pronounced Throndak the klondike-for there it had been planned to make big catch of fish with which in Forty mile a grubstake could be obtained. Fishing proved to be poor, how ever, and Carmack gave up. With "Daw- son Charlie 'and "Skookum Jim," his two Indian companions, he went back inland a few miles and there on what now is known as Gold Run creek, found veteran pros
