above discovery, on said Willow creek, under lease from Robert E. Barr
 Later plaintiff became informed of the value of the claims and states that they are worth Sl00000 and that Barr and Wasky have taken more than $S0,000 from said claims. Plaintiff thereafter demanded resti- tuition of the property from Edwards, claim ing he fraudulently withheld it.
 Signed Receipt in Full
 In August, 1916, the complaint states, Roy F. Fuller recorder of Wade Hamp- ton precinct, delivered to plaintiff $500 in gold dust, and informed him that it was from Edwards, and that Fuller required him to sign receipt therefor Plaintiff did not know the contents of the paper, but has since learned that it was a receipt in full of all demands against Edwards
 Plaintiff states that he has never intended to convey or relinquish any of his mining interests, and that the various papers and instruments signed by him have been so signed while suffering from mental inca pacity and weakness and that he never realized their import. Edwards has ire quently suggested that plaintiff go Outside, and the gold dust received from him through Fuller was evidently intended to induce him to leave, he alleges.
 The defendants Frank H. Wasky R. NJ. SENSATIONAL
 Palmer E. M Wasky, Gus Heyne and Gus Lysel have or claim to have interests in the mining property in question by reason of deeds or other instruments executed by and between said defendants and Edwards. Plaintiff alleges that these interests, if any, are inferior to his title and that each and all of the said defendants knew Of plaintiff 8 mental weakness and incapacity before they acquired title.
 Demands of Plaintiff
 Plaintiff prays judgment against the said defendants: CD That the deeds of convey ance purporting to convey to Edwards ths interests of plaintiff in said mining claims be declared null and void, and that plaintiff be declared the lawful owner; (2) that Ed wards be required to reconvey to plaintiff all of the said mining property, and if there should not be sufficient standing in his name, then the other defendants be required to convey sufficient to make up the undivided one half interest (3) that Edwards be re- uuired to render an accounting of all gold or gold dust received by him out of said mining claims by reason of the deeds in question, either as royalties or in any other manner, and that he be required to deposit in the registry of the court the net amount so received by him, to abide the issue of this action; (4l that the defendants and each of them be restrained from dlsposlng of the said interests pending the determl- nation of this suit; (5) for costs and dis bursements, and (6) for such other relief as the court may deem just and equitable

ACTIVITY AT TOLOVANA
(Nenana News, Feb. l0)

Arrivals from the Tolovana country are authority for the statement that consider able prospecting is in progress this winter on Brooks creek, stream of considerable size about eighteen miles back of West Fork. There are four outfits on the creek now, and several recent stakers are thinking seri- ously of sinking holes before the water runs Although the creek was staked from end to end year or more ago, very little work was done until the present winter, and no one has yet reached bedrock.
 J. E. Moody, the pioneer sawmill man of the Tolovana, has boiler on Brooks now, and is down eighty feet Bob Mann also has ground on the creek and is preparing to sink as soon as he can get boiler.
 About fifteen plsnts are working on Llv- engood, the chief producer of the Tolovana camp. Gus Peterson is only working one boiler at present his operations being con fined chiefly to the Sunny Bench.
 Galbreath, Sampson & Kelly are taking out dump on their ground on upper Liv- engood, and expect to have their ground worked out this winter.
 Charles Lind is sinking a working shaft on the bench back of the town of Liven- good. In the first attempt to reach bedrock he lost his drill and was compelled to sink shaft eighty feet deep to recover the string of tools.
 Charles Joynt, former manager of the Panama Valley railroad, has accepted posi- ton as general manager of the sawmill and tram at West Fork. There Is a possibility that the tram will be extended to Terminal before the water runs
 Nels Gantz and wife have opened a lodg ing house at Livengood, in the building which was formerly occupied as hospital by Dr. Evans.
 The Pauls have added 8 second story to their building and are doing a nice busi- ness.
 Alabam is freighting this winter, and like all other freighters operating between Tolovena and Fairbanks this winter, is us ing the new Happy trail. It is stated that there is not enough travel over the Olnes trail this winter to keep it open.
 There is little prospecting on Mike Hess creek but that section of the district has ceased to interest the majority of the people in the camp.

Kansas so respected her memory that they were about to build a memorial to her, she was encouraged and permitted us to take her picture. We were there on the birthday of the mayor of Roosevelt, which is the other name for Mile 231a. As we went away she said "Al says he is going to celebrate tonight" and then, with twinkle in her eye, she turned to me and said "but he won't, even if he is mayor"
 "Mrs Dabney is providing those men with a clean place in which to sleep and plenty of good clean food, and she demands that they obey the government rules, and that they do not do things which make her work harder and cause her extra trouble There is no greater evidence of the respect in which the men of Alaska hold good women than the way the men st Mile 23E submit to the laws administration at the hands of Mrs Dabney.'"

Placer Claims Located on Townsite of Cinema


 There is much excitement in Cinema over the discovery of coarse gold, made by Dick Stein as he was sinking well in his back yard, says the Fairbanks News-Mlner Of February B. The we'll was sunk forty-two feet and although not to bedrock, coarse gold was found This discovery, added to the fact that some of his chickens, which were matched and lived in the same yard, when killed were found to have picked up gold nuggets convinces the owner that hls prospect will turn out we'll, and with this encouragement he has started to sink new shaft to bedrock, and already is down eight feet. As prospectors in the early days of Chena found some good prospects, and, believing that the gold comes from the same hill that furnished the fortunes of Ester creek, ld-timers are interested greatly, and are anxiously watching developments Many are stalking claims in the town of Cinema, as the exact status of the property IS not known, many contending that the original town lot stakers have no more rights there. Today a number of old-timers rushed to Cinema from Ester and from Fairbanks, and at last reports about everything in sight had been staked

Deeds Remaining Interest
 Plaintiff further alleges that "at the time of his signing said deed he was not allowed to handle the same, and says there was no delivery of the deed but that the defendant obtained the same from the acknowledging officer named in the instrument
 Thereafter plaintiff was continually inn portuned to sell his remaining interests, and finally as he alleges, he was induced to exc cute further deed to Edwards of all his remaining mining interests received from Barr. He says that he was totally ignorant of their value, while Edwards was familiar with them and knew they were exceedingly valuable. Defendant 'knew that he wa; taking an unjust and fraudulent advantage of the plaintiff by reason of his menta weakness and incapacity to resist. Plaintiff says he received no consideration for exc cutting the last-named deed.
 Recorder Was Interested Party
 It is further alleged that the defendant received the deed above referred to from the acknowledging officer, who was also commissioner and recorder of said precinct and it was thereafter recorded by said Ed wards or the recorder, and "the said re corder and notary, Frank B.

taurant at Nenana, called the chief execu- tive very vile name at the same time re- marking that someone ought "to get him. First Class Sergeant Chester B. Mulkin, op, orator in charge of the telegraph office at the new railroad town, immediately stepped up and with one blow to the jaw knocked him from the chair in which he was sit, ting, and followed this up with more pun ishment. He then made the slanderer kneel on the floor of the restaurant and, before the crowd of diners, apologize to the Presl- dent and all present for making such re mark. After receiving the beating the man was in such nervous state that he could not collect his thoughts sufficiently to word the apology, so Sergeant Mulkin dictated it, making the man repeat 1t after hlm as he worded it. The sergeant then warned the man that he would do we'll not to re- peat any such utterances ln the future, or he would put him where he belonged As q result of the action of Sergeant Mulkln a greater care is being exercised by those inclined to make remarks bordering on the treasonous, says the Fairbanks News Miner, which reports the story, and also, as 8 result of the fracas, Sergeant Mullkin has become quite the hero of Nenana.
