Change Is Urged
Annual Mining
Assessment Work
Present Law on Yearly Work Re
quirement Is Characterized
Obsolete and Inappropriate
By N. H. Castle
With particular reference to the
recent polemical and disputateous
controversy over the merits and de
merits of the Federal enactment
whereby Alaska was excepted from
a general law exempting owners of
mining claims from the assessment
work requirement for the current
year, I am prompted to suggest,
with appropriate diffidence and sub
ject to correction, that the present
system is utterly lacking in logic or
common sense, is obsolete, inappro
priate to existing conditions and
provocative of wholesale falsification
and actual perjury, of expensive and
usually fruitless prosecutions and
avails not in the slightest degree to
accomplish its original purpose to
wit:
To prospecting, development and
operation of the mining resources
which constitute so vital a portion
of the Nation's wealth. ,
For Holding of Property
Necessarily I refer to that class of
so-called assessment work that is
done merely for the purpose of
holding the property, usually for
speculation purposes.
The class of work referred to has,
in fact, a deleterious effect, in that
it operates to prevent honest, effi
cient and ambitious miners and pro
spectors who are sheered off of re
presented ground upon which they
would be willing and even eager tr
take a chance.
That the system in vogue tends tc
prevent rather than encourage, de
velopment, permits the acquisitior
and retention for long periods, oi
vast areas of mineralized grount
|and retards progress, can hardly he
controverted, hence, as some method
should be devised to avoid this con
dition and bring about a more logi
cal and sensible status of affairs,
I tentatively tender and invite crit
icism of, the following suggestions,
Payment of Fixed Sum
1 The annual payment of a fix
ed sum per acre of located unpatent
ed mining ground; the amount so
realized to be placed in a fund to
be used exclusively for such purpos
es as might be indicated for the im
provement and betterment of the in
dustry, such as roads, ditches, wat
er courses etc. etc.
2 In the event the owner of un
patented mineral land shail elect in
lieu of payment, in whole or in
part, of the amount chargeable ag
ainst his acreage, and shall, prior
to a fixed date, make affidavit to
that effect, he shall lie required to
do sufficient labor at a fixed per
diem, to take up such unpaid bal
ance due, such labor to be perform
ed under appropriate direction and
supervision, in connection with the
improvement or development of the
particular area wherein his proper
ty is located.
No Amount Suggested
I have intentionally refrained
from any suggestion as to the am
ount per acre to be charged or the
compensation to be credited to those
who prefer to work out their obli
gation, as such would be purely in
cidental features of the general
scheme.
I am also fully cogninant. of the
fact that the details of the foregoing
proposition would require to be
worked out to a practical solution
and believe that, apart from assist
ing in solving the annual unemploy
ment problem, the proposed revolu
tionary method would ultimately in
ure to the advantage of both indiv
idual and corporate proprietors who
are legitimately interested in the de
velopment of the nation’s mineral
resources rather than in the mere
exploitation thereof and for specu
lative purposes.
