To The Public.
On my return ’from a business
trip down the Sound I saw in your
valuable paper an •item in which it
stated that a party- grubstaked by
•me had (jumped the'claiuis of Clias.
TSandberg and others on (Knight1*
island and I would like to rstiite
the facts about this. I grub-staked
•Billy Jiogan and Hack Whaling
this spring to go to Madson island
to prospect. They got out in quite
a storm and it was reported for
several davs that they were lost.
Evidently they went badk to
Knights island and commenssd
prospecting and struck what is
considered one of the best pros
pects there. (Unfortunately Mr.
Hogan was blown up and was laid
up for quite a while in the hospital
at Ellamar. In the meantime Mr.
Whaling continued prospecting
and put some stakes on the prop
erty mentioned. This came to in-V
knowledge and I told Mr. Whaling
that this •property was not open
for location. He assured me that
he understood that it was open for
location and had put stakes on
same but after I notified him he
did not record it. I asked him to
throw off the stakes and he said I?
lie got down there he would but *fi
not, to tell the parties who owned
it to -off the stakes. Se
when Mr. Sandberg and Simpson
returned to town I math’ it m-v
bus’mese to-state She -facts to them
