MINERS LIEN LAW
AS TO DREDGES!
Judge Tucker, in the District court
this morning in an able and well-con
sidered opinion, held that the act of the
legislature of the Territory of Alaska
creating a Hen on dredges for labor
performed upon a mining claim wai In
valid. The act of Congress granting to
Alaska, a Territorial form of govern
ment and creating a legislature for the
Territory provides that no act of the
legislature shall embrace more than
one subject which subject shall be
expressed in the title of tbo act. The
title to the lien act in question states
that it Is "an Act to create lions upon
mining in favor of laborers, etc.” In
ths body of the act it is ptovided that
laborers shall have a lien upon dredges
and other structures for labor per
formed upon the mine. The Court!
holds that a dredge and a mine are
two different subjects, and that
dredges not lining expressed in the
title to the lien act of the legislature
is as to such dredge inoperative and
void.
