BLM Is Seeking
Holders Of Early
Mineral Claims
The District Manager of the Bu
reau of Land Management, Richard
L. Quintus, has announced the bu
reau. is seeking holders of mining
claims in the Chatanika River
Kokomo Creek area.
This area includes the drainages
of Poker, Pilot, Captain, Alder, Rus
ty Gold and Kokomo Creeks. A
search o£ )h£,‘J1 i^ec„shows
that Imany* jalpcer mining claims
werif reWraWtQJr fife*drain
ages^etween 1901 and 1941.
Many of these locations predate
the discovery claim of Felix Pedro
located July 25, 1902. The lack of
recent recordings of affidavits of
annual labor and field examination
indicates these is no longer any
mining interest in the area.
Quintus stated this search is part
of the process of defining the lands
which may be transferred to the
State of Alaska under the provisions
of the Statehood Act. Therefore,
Quintus has asked that anyone hav
ing an interest in any mining claims
in the above described area contact
the Bureau of Land Management.

City Council Kayos School ;
District's Request At Meet
By a vote of three to two the Fairbanks City Council refused
to pay the Fairbanks Public School District $1,078,000 as its
share of the 1962-1963 School Budget.
The action followed several conferences and discussions with
members of the School Board.
Councilwoman Sylvia Ringstad displayed shock when she
discovered that some of the Council were willing to pass a reso
iution establishing the City s share*
without even seeing a copy of the !
amended City budget.
“That’s absolute downright indif
ference,” she exclaimed. She then
called down Councilman Red Bouch
er, who wanted to accept the reso
lution and pay the School District
the $1,078,000.
Makes Accusation
She accused him of breaking his
campaign promises and then stated
that perhaps people who were will
ing to dispense such a large amount
of money without even seeing the
amended budget shouldn't even be
on the Council.
Boucher defended his stand, stat
ing that he had spent a great deal !
of time studying the problem be- I
fore he made his decision. He went
on to state that he felt education
was one of the most vital needs of
the community, and that the educa
tion budget should not be trimmed.
Following a question by the Coun
cil. Acting City Manager Robert
Crow stated that the School Budget
request would mean a tax levy of
14.06 mills.
Higher Taxes
Councilwoman Ringstad pointed
out that the tax levy this year would
be considerably larger than last
year's.
Councilman Boucher pointed out
that last year the City used surplus
to pay part of the City budget,
thereby lowering the tax levy.
Following more discussion the
Council voted down resolution 242.
which would have fixed the City's
share of the School Budget at
$1,078,000.
In his remarks at the end of the
meeting, Mayor Joseph Ribar stated
that it was his observation that
whenever the school budget had
been cut in the past, it was done by
cutting the education programs,
never by firing custodians or “put
ting assistant principals to work "
