District Court, D. Alaska September 7, 1945, No. 5233 (Koprivica v. Sather)

PRATT, District Judge.

The question here raised is whether or not the owner of a placer mining claim in Alaska can resume work thereon aftér failing to perform the annual assessment work required by law and thereby thwart a relocator who has initiated his rights after such resumption and completion of $100 worth of work per single claim.
