More Bering River Coal Claimants
Refused Patent Because of
Alleged Irregularities.
» V C. , >
Tin* Juneau land nfliee lias ad
versed another bunch of coal
claims in the Bering River lields.
’ The group contains fourteen
claims in what is known as the
» ilai/lline group of coal claims.
Eight locators arc residents
of Anna, Illinois, and all of lhem
except Oscar Gasper, are sons
and daughters of Benjamin llart
iine; Gasper being? a son-in-law.
of Benjamin f. Bartilne. The
fourteen claims involved are
iouth of the Marlin river iila
cier and bomule/l'on flic south by
the HiiiU-Hafriinan i>r Lifipy
Davis group Of claims adn i»n the
West by the Chezum group and
on the east by'the Green-Young
grmih'.
Ill September. 1910, file Harl
Iine Alaska Coal company, as
signee' of the locator under var
ious dales, filed application and
proofs in support thereof under
the act of May 28, 1908, for the
group of fourteen claims contain
ing an area of 2,289.85 4 acres.
The government tiled charges
consisting of three counts: the
first I wo charging fraud in mak
ing lln* locations, and liic laller
charging that the defenilcnl did
not open lip or develop a coal
110111* within the meaning of the
law.
The opinion just rendered liy
the Juneau land olliee goes deep
ly into the matter of depositions
as evidence and says that in ease
there is not a preponderance or
evidence to support charges one
and two and it is recommended
that these charges he dismissed.
Continuing the opinion takes
up charge,three and gives an ex
haustive resume of the develop
ment work that appears to have
been done and in the end sus
tains Ihe government charge that
a coal mine had not heeiii devel
oped and opened up.
Testimony develops that the
claims in <|uestion have been
twice bonded once for 8.‘t0.000
wherein 81,500 was paid on the
transaction tint no more, anil for
875.000 wherein 87.500 was paid
lint no more.
