The settlement of the Daily Alaska case by a~degree of the district court, which not only confirms the ownership of the Daly- Alaska company but also forever enjoins the Caldwell interestssand assigns from fur ther attacks on the title based on the same contentious, is a matter of more than average importance to the district In that it is a drastic blow at the tendency to institute litigati"n based on filmsy contentious ot law and fact that will not stano the test of the courts when br,4ght to issue.
 Legal actions beclouding the titles of mining properties are to be deplored at all times be- cause of the harmful effects OH development. Needless to say the effects are doubly harmful when such litigation is unwar- ranted by the true facts invol- we'd. Time has long demon strated that those interested m mining development hesitate to interest themselves in district where litigation has developed to an appreciable extent, par ticularly when it is shown that interruptions or unjustifiable contentious, are frequently the basis of action. All too often is it the case that litigants in mining cases have not a leg to stand on when it comes to plac- ing their alleged cause of com plaint before the stern eyes of justice and it is an undeniable fact that capital fights shy of the district where such tenden- cy develops.

al district than is provided by the Dunwell discovery, not alone bec&uca t will add an other producing mine but also for the reason that it discounts in most decisive manner the ill advised assumptions of cer- tain experts, who in the past condemned not only the Pre- mier but every other property in the district on the score of alleged lack of permanency.
 It matters not that the opin- ions of these learned gentle men were based upon no more than superficial studies of the geology and minerology of the district or that they have been disproved in practically every instance where development has progressed beyond the elc- mentary prospecting stage; the evil effects of their gross, even tho unwilling, misrepre- sentations continue to hinder. and delay development. Tie Premier, the Indian, the Rivec- side and now the Dunwell have demonstrated the error of thelr views but, like all evil tales, they persist and will continue to create distrust in the minds of investors until such time :.s they are conclusiveIy dis proven by developments ilce that in the Dunwell. Thou sands of dollars and tons of
 printers ink would scarcely restore the loss of confidence
 created by the unwarrahted
 declarations that the local min- eralized zones were blanket" or shallow in character and
 would decrease in size, if not in value, as depth was attained. The false impression created
 ny e""h utterauces can be ef- factiveIy dissipated in only one
 way-by demonstrating, as the
 Dunwell is doing, that the ore
 bodies of the district do so
 down and that they increase rather than diminish, both in extent and in values carried, as
 depth is attained. This has
 been the case in practically
 every instance where enough
 development work has been
 done to really demonstrate
 what is in the ground.
