Higher Court Restores Tupela’s Mining Interest on Chichagof Island
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court and ruled for John Tupela of Juneau in his suit against the Chichagof Mining Company. It orders an accounting of ore taken from the Over the Hill claim, potentially exceeding $1,000,000, and restores Tupela to his undivided half in several mining claims on Chichagof Island. The case, filed in 1919, alleges a conspiracy to defraud while Tupela was confined in an insane asylum and centers on ownership in the Over the Hill claim and related lodes near King Bay.
