ADAMS VS. GOLD COMPANY
 DECIDED FOR DEFENDANT

Attorney E. M Stanton received on Thursday last 8 telegraphic message from the clerk of the district court st Fairbanks announcing that the case of Adams vs. the Yukon Gold Company ct al had been de- cided by Judge Bunnell in favor of the de- fendants.
 This was what was known as the Pros pector case, and involved title to the Ana conda Fraction, which was located on ground said to be in excess of the legal area com prised in the Prospector Association claim The case was tried in Iditarod in 1914 by Judge Fuller and decision was rendered on technicality, the merits of the case not being passed upon. This decision was never signed by the judge, and the case was retried at the last Iditarod term, and addi ona evidence and argument was submitted at the Ruby term.
 The suit involved some fine points of min ing law, and it would not be surprising if it were taken to higher court.
