Allows Defendants in Caohe Creek
Case to Continue Mining
With Restrictions.
Judge Overfield in the district
Court yesterday afternoon modi
fied the restraining ordef pie-’
vjousiy granted at the. suit of the
Cache Greek Mining company
against Henry Bahrenburg and
Louis Bub,-.to prevent defendants
from sluicing through ground in
dispute between the-parties. :
The modified order allows the
.defendants to continue sluicing
into Dollar creek, hut restrains
them from depositing tailings in
substantial quantity-on the dis
puted claim, which is just below
where the defendants are working
on a gulch. The scene of the ac
tion is In the Yentna district.
'Dollar creek is a tributary of
Cache creek, and the plaintiff
company owns property on both
creeks. The defendants own
claims above the big company on
Dollar creek, and have re-located
the company’s upper claim on the
theory that the company failed to
do assessment work on it for sev
eral years. It is the alleged dump
ing by defendants on this claim
that gave rise to the action, which
also involves the ownership of the
daim.
t’he case will be tried on the
merits next fall at Seward. Mean
time the defendants can continue
work without, difficulty,..as..they
say most of their tailings was
down the creek, anyway.
