Private advices from Washington, D. (j Port Townsend, convey the information that the town of Juneau, Alaska, is owned by one man, the title being earned by an early mineral location. Eight years of litigation, during the process of which one of the principals had a narrow escape from being lynched by a mob has just been terminated, and the man who almost lost his life because he upheld hh rights is now the owner of the greater part of the nourishing town of Juneau, Alaska. His claim as approved by the United States Land Office gives him title to all the business and a greater part of the residence portion of the growing settlement. It was in 1886, after several others had filed and abandoned, that A. A. Goldstein, apromin-en- t merchant, located on a mineral claim which included nearly the whole of the present site of Juneau. More than the necessary amount of assessment work was done to secure the patent, and when two years later a regular application for a patent was made the citizens awoke to the importance of the matter and began a concerted movement to kill it. a mass meeting was held, attended by 300 citizens of Juneau. Goldstein was brought by force before this meeting, In November, 1883, where a demand that he abandon the claim was made. This he refused to do, but agreed, in event of securing a patent, to deed, free of charge, to actual occupants, all property improved or held by them. The offer was with threats that if Goldstein did not at once abandon the claim and give up his papers he would be lynched. To save his life Goldstein agreed and did turn over the official documents, demanding only to know who received them. United States Commissioner (now marshal) Willsans and W. F.Reid were appointed a committee to accept them, and since that time all efforts to find the documents have failed. Goldstiens assertion that he would secure justice if possible was met by threats against his life, but he hired an attorney and prepare! for the struggle. The citizens elected a trustee and applied for a townsite patent. To the grancase was ting of this Goldstein objected. The heard before the local land office at Sitka and was da-din- ed decided against Goldstein.
