ASSOCIATION CLAIM DESCRIBED
QUALIFICATIONS OF LOCATOR:
Any citizen of the United Statee, or a person who has declared
his intention to become such may make a valid location of unap
propriated mineral lands in Alaska. A woman, a minor, and a
corporation under certain circumstances), if citizens, may make
valid locations. A citizen of Canada has no greater rights in Alaska,
to locate mining claims, than any other alien.
PREREQUISITE TO VALID MINING LOCATION:
Discovery of valuable placer minerals or discovery of valuable
mineral bearing rock in place must precede a valid placer or lode
location and without a discovery, no valid location can be made.
The inception of your title dates from discovery, not from the date
you place your stakes.
A placer discovery may be described as a discovery of placer
minerals sufficient to induce a reasonably prudent person in ex
pending further labor or money in its development and exploration.
A lode discovery must be a discovery of mineral bearing rock
in place as distinguished from mineralized float or slide.
MARKING BOUNDARIES (PLACER CLAIMS):
A post not less than three feet high and four inches in diameter
should be placed at each corner and angle of the location. These
posts should be numbered consecutively from the Number One post
(initial post) and on each post should be marked the name of the
claim, name or names of locators and date of location. A location
notice should be written on or attached to the initial post showing
(a) Date of Discovery (b) Date of Location (c) Name of Claim (d)
Name or names of locators (e) description of the claim with refer
ence to some natural monument or object sufficient to identify it.
Where timber is not available for posts the comers and angles
should be marked by piles of stone with the same markings.
Boundary lines between posts should be clearly marked on the
surface of the ground so that they may be easily traced. Boundary
lines between posts are presumed to be straight lines even though
the surface markings between posts may vary somewhat from a
straight line which is always the shortest distance between two
posts.
MARKING BOUNDARIES (LODE CLAIMS):
The initial post with location notice thereon must be placed
at or near the place of discovery. End stakes should be placed
in the middle of the vein and at the four corners of the claim.
Your three stakes should be in line, end lines should be parallel to
each other, and should be, as nearly as possible, at right angles
to the course of the vein. You are allowed to locate 1500 feet
along the course of the vein and 300 feet on each side of the center
line thereof. Boundaries should be clearly marked as in placer
locations.
RECORDING.
All placer and lode claims should be recorded in the office of
the recorder of the mining district wherein such locations are made
within 90 days after the date of location.
SIZE OF PLACER LOCATIONS,
Single placer claims shall not exceed 20 acres and shall not
exceed 1,320 feet in length (1,320 x 660).

Political Chiefs
Have Much To
Do In Campaign
By Byron Price
(Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington)
Every campaign development
emphasizes more clearly the
great importance of the roles
which are being played in 1936
politics by Democratic Chairman
James A. Farley and Republican
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton.
These two roles are as differ
erent are are the two men to
whom they have been assigned.
Yet each in its own way carries
responsibilities that ordinarily do
not attach to party chairmanship
and which can easily be tremen
dous factors in the result of the
election.
Always, a Presidential cam
pagin has two parts. One is the
public part—the “front” the
speechmaking and the ballyhoo,
and the delineation of party pol
icy. The other is the submerged
part—the butiness of organiza
tion down in the wards and pre
cincts, the collection of campaign
funds and their expenditure, the
assembling and instruction of
party workers.
Very often in the past the Pres
idential nominee has provided
the “front”, determining polic
ies and taking the cheers and the
publicity while the National
Chairman has done the real work
of practical organization. Some
times the nominee has taken care
of both duties, and the chairman
has been a mere figurehead. Nei
ther of these rules seems to apply
fully this year.
Roosevelt Takes Lead
On the Democratic side, it is
quite plain that many party
workers will look to President
Roosevelt not only to take the
lead in actual campaigning, but
to indicate in all important mat
ters what the practical tactics of
the campaign are to be.
It would be too sweeping a
statement, however, to say that
Mr. Roosevelt will be looked to as
his own campaign manager. Such
a statement would overlook the
great responsibility he places on
Farley for carrying into effect
the detail of party work in spec
ific situations.
In no sense is Farley regarded
as a figurehead by those who
know him and have seen him in
action. He relies on his chief for
the selection of objectives; but
once the goal is pointed out, he
uses his own methods to attain
the desired end. And in this, the
President has given him wide
latitude.
Nor is there any doubt that in
the realm of political detail, Far
ley has established a formidable
reputation among politicians. The
results of his foresight and his in
tensive private effort were app
arent at the Philadelphia con
vention when such powerful fact
ors as the Tammany organization
n New York and the Hague or
ganization in New Jersey which
lad opposed the original Roose
velt nomination bitterly, voted
lolidly for the renomination.
Many think important States
nay swing in November on Far
ey’s ability to keep these and
imilar big-city machines com
iletely in line for the ticket.
Landon Best as Organizer
Among the Republicans the sit
lation is quite different. It ap
>ears that instead of figuring
hiefly as a “front” for the cam
)aign, Governor Landon will
ake a decisive part in the inten
ive work of party organization, j
vhile Chairman Hamilton, instead

Standard Oil SERVICE helped many a
Nome “Stampeder” reach “pay dirt”
back in the roaring days of 1900.
Then the cry was for gasoline to pump
water and pump it fast for the sluice
boxes that were filling “pokes” with
gold. And Standard Oil Service met the
emergency. In 1900 the second Standard
Oil supply station in Alaska was estab
lished at Nome (the first having been
built two years before at Skagway).
Today, Standard Oil Company of Cal
ifornia maintains 25 sub-stations and
commission stations to serve Alaska
better.

of devoting all of his time and at
tention to organization, probably
will make more speeches than the
nominee.
For Landon is not regarded
even by his warmest friends as
the sort of candidate who dis
plays his best qualities on the
stump. On the contrary, his poli
tical reputation in Kansas was
established by his ability at par
ty conciliation and unifide or
ganization, first as the Republi
can State Chairman, lator as Gov
ernor.
Conversely Hamilton, is recog
nized as a vigorous campaigner
I
and his inexperience as an organ
izer led to much private objec
tion from some of the oldline
leaders when he first was mention
; ed for the chairmanship. That he
will be an important part of the
“front” of the Republican cam
paign is generally conceded,
whatever part he may play other
wise.
By and large it is difficult to
recall a year when such heavy
responsibilities rested on the two
chairmen. Or when the two
chairmen each in his own way,
went more vigorous to work to
discharge those responsibilities.
Industry Uses
Moderniz. tred.
Boost Business
The extent to which the manu
facturing industry has availed it
self of the Class A provisions of
the Modernization Credit Pla of
the Federal Housing Administra
tion, loans of more than from
$2,000 and up to $50,000 is of in
terest at this time as a year has
passed since this part of the am
ended National Housing Act be
»an to function.
At the outset, it is well to re
mind industry once more that the
Housing Administration itself
ends no money. All the loans
nade under the modernization
Credit Plan are extended by
canks building and loan associa
tions, and other private finan
cial institutions. The Housing
Administration insures these in
ititutions against loss up to 10
percent of their total moderniza
tion loans.
On May 28 1935, the amend
ment was passed which raised the
limit for an insurable loan on
certain classes of buildings such
!as apartment or multiple family 1
houses, hotels, office or other com
! mercial buildings orphanages
1 schools colleges or manufactur
ing and industrial plants. The
proceeds of the loans to these .
classes can be used for the pur
chase and installation of eligible
equipment and machinery, as
well as for repairs, alterations
and improvements to the struct
ures.
By July 1 1935, the rules and
regulations governing this portion
of the Act were put into opera
tion by the Federal Housing Ad- -
ministration and loans were made
immediately thereafter. Since that.'
time and up to June 1st 1936 the
Housing Administration reports
the insurance of $30,804,377 of ■
loans under the $50,000 provision
of the Modernization Credit Plan.
