WINS MINE; PROPERTY
 AT CHlCACOFF

JUNEAU, Nov. 22. A writ of certiorari directed to the United States district court of Juneau has been denied by the United States cir cult court of appeals in the case of John Tupella vs. the Chichagoff Min ing Company, Tupella thereby win ming his battle for approximately ST. 000,00 and the return of his pro- perty from the company, valued at $500,000.
 Tuppela alleged a conspiracy to defraud him of his half interest of four claims owned by himself and the Chicagoff Mining Company, by confining him to the insane asylum and a fictitious sale of his holding to the mining company.
 The case was bitterly fought from the U. $. district court at Juneau to the U. s. circuit court of appeals at San Francisco, resulting in the dPPoilltE toulL utClSlOn, reversing the decision of Judge Robert w. Jennings of the local U. s. district court.
 It was tried before Judge Jennings last fall, the trial ending Dec. 1. Judge Jennings took the case under advisement and on Feb. F rendered decision ill favor of the Chichagoff Mining Company on every fact of law.
 The case was at once appealed by States circuit court of appeals at San Francisco. It was argued before that Tuppela, and Ey Judge Ellis of Ia coma, Wash, and II. l.. Faulkner for court of appeals reversed the case on every question of fact and law, and ordered judgment to be entered for Tuppela and on August ? granted an injunction against the company do- ing any further mining on the claims in controversy until it should ac- count to and pay Tuppela for the ore it had take out.
 The company next petitioned the supreme court at Washington for a writ of certiorari to reverse the judgment of the circuit court of ap- peals and affirm the judgment of Judge Jennings. This petition was submitted on October 25, and was de- cided two weeks later Thus Tup- pela wins out in the higher court of the land, and nothing remains to be done except for the company to ac- cept and pay over his part of the ore extracted which is between $12,- 800 and $15,OO0 and make arrange ments with Tuppela to work the bal ance of the ore. and pay him for his part.

 VEINS CONTEST

KETCHIKAN, Nov. 22-Word has been received from Washington that Secretary of the Interior Payne has rendered a decision in the adverse claim of Taylor Althouse against E. A. Heath, whereby the later is up- held in his rights to the homestead which he claims When the case was first heard in the land office at Juneau a decision was rendered against Heath, owing to an error in the proof of publication of his final notice. The case was then appealed to the commissioner of the land of flee who reversed the register and found for MT. Heath. The final ap- peal was taken to the secretary of the interior and he upheld the con- missioner.
 The land in question is the Heath homestead to the north of town comprising about 200 acres on which MT. Heath has been living for about F years or more

Aboard the freighter Ketchikan was machinery weighing approxi- mately five tons cinsigned to the Kasaan Gold Mining Co., Included in The machinery was a new boiler, pumps and dynamos.
 Being afraid that the present ma chinery will be insufficient in freez- ing weather, the new boiler and pumps will be installed at once Other parts were received which will increase the capacity of the stamp mill. With these additions, M. M. Reese, mill manager, expects to work the mine all winter.
 Immediately upon the arrival of the big freiShter, the machinery was loaded upon a sCoW and lowed to the company's mine at Harris creek, kasaan bay.

 One of the oldtime gas boats of this vicinity is about to be con- Verted into a steamer. This is the Teddy, d fifty-footer, the pioneer mail-carrier of the ketchikan region
 The change is to be made in order to cut down operating expenses, Captain Lane, her owner announces. In his opinion expenses will be cut to minimum, as he will cut his own fuel-wool. The engine, which many years ago was on the gas | screw Leba, will take up no more | engineroom space and will develop about the same horse power. A small shingle mill is to be in stalled at the M. F. Lane homestead on Moria sound. The winter will be employed by MT. Lane and his sons in setting up the machinery which is i due to arrive on an early boat from the south The Teddy will be used to operate between town and the mill during the winter.
 Instead of having dancing at the Hippodrome, roller skating will be the attraction for the present.

Any one will cOncede it's good style and other good points, especially when the embroidered motifs on the short coat are under consideration.
