Iditarod Mining Rulings Settle Timber Trespass and Foreclosure
Judge Bunnell determines in the WoR Day et al case that a valid mining discovery exists within the Broken Snowshoe Association placer claim and restrains timber trespass with nominal damages. In Baker v Marvel Creek, foreclosure of a $3,061.20 note secures labor and creditor rights amid corporate emergency and director actions. The court also limits attorneys fees in Wibberine v Byers, ruling commissioners lack power to tax such costs unless statutes allow.
