school lands were not favorably acted
upon by the board. Circuit Judge
Boise issued an alternative writ of
mandamus requiring the member of
the board to appear in court on Sept. 2
and show cause why the applications
of the plaintiffs should not be granted
M. L. Chamberlain, clerk of the
board, says the suits pending have been
brought to compel It to cancel certiU
cats urjon which there exists a delin
quency in the payments at the close of
the second year following their execu
tion. He says thia i in violation of
the established rule of the beard to
notify purchasers of delinquencies that
may exist in their payments at tne
close of the second year, and giving an
extension of thirty days in which to
pay the same without costs being
added. The board does not cancel cer
tificates and resell any land until
three years after the original purchase.
The real question that is involved in
these suits is the right of the land
board to establish its own mica for the
administration of its business. One
case, involving this question is now be
fore the supreme court, aud there are
a half dozen other cases in the prelim

Alaska Falling Off.
The gold output of Alaska in 1901
was $1,000,000 less tban tne year, pre
ceding, due largely to the decrease in
the output from the Nome field. Not
only was the Nome season exceptionally
short, but apprehensive uncertainty
was universally feit on account of the
immense amount of litigation that
followed the advent of the judiciary in
the summer of 1900. Many rich claims
were. not worked at all, and others but
slightly. Rulings of Judge Wicker-
sham, who arrived in September, to
the effect that original holders of min
ing ground would be permitted to
work their claims, and that "jumpers
would receive no consideration, restored
confidence and gave back to the rightful
owners possession of many good prop
erties. But relief came too late to
have any appreciable eflect opon the
output for the season.

mines, assay offices, refineries and
smelters received $17,752,463 in Klon
dike gold, besides much silver.
