The Copper Canyon

judge Iarrin4tOns decisions, while
not all in the favor OF the claimants
to the placer ground, gave them
enough to satisfy them and preVe1t
an appeal from their side. The Glass

standing the fact that they were Civ
en- practically all they could expect
from the testimony Of their Wit

case. That is very much to be re-
GREETED, as it Will delay The working

But there is reason to doubt
Whcther they viii gain anything by
appealing and L strong possibility Of
their losing out in the end.

The miners of the Koyukuk be- lieve they are entitled to better roads and have. circulated a petition throughout that district asking Con, gress that the sum of $75,000 be ap- propriated for that purpose. Com petent engineers have passed over the proposed road from Wiseman the Koyukuk town, to Tonana on the Yukon river, distance of 13s miles The present route over which the mail travels is about 3S0 miles rand consumes from 12 days to two weeks in making the trip. The Koyukuk placers are declared tc have produced more gold for the amount of money expended than any other camp in the north. The quartz outlook of the district is also very promising but is being retarded from development through lack of trans Dortation. It is estimated that about 65 per cent of the output of the district is paid to the trans portation companies. Engineers have declared that should the appropria- ton of $75,000 be made that would be sufficient to build road which would enable the delivery of freight for less than half the rates now charged. Miner.
