It has | been the subject of a hotly contested and significant lawsuit since that time. The claim of aboriginal rights was originally presented by the 23 claim- ants but this was denied by the U S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year cn the appeal of a government de- murrer to that body. Ten days ago, when the case re-opened here, an- other attempt was made to insert the akoriginal claims tut these were dropped on orders received by Paul from the Indian chief counsel in Washington, D. C., James E. Curry The higher court had ruled that the 25 persons were entitled to com- pensary rights if they could prove ingdlividual continual use ana cupancy since 1884. - oc- WEATHER REPORT SATHER BUREAU ng 7:20 am Juneau— Maximum, 36; min 31 At Airport— Minimum, 30 WEATHER FORECAS1 (Juneau and Vieinity) Considerable :loudiness to- night becoming partly cloudy Friday.
