MOJAVE STRIKE EXAMPLE TO ALASKA
Spirited Alaskans will find inspiration in the new gold
silver strike in the Mojave area.
Pacific Coast papers are ringing with news of the most
sensational strike in hard rock since the days of Goldfields
and Tonopah.
Mining engineers from all over the continent, prospec
tors and many who know nothing of the game have flocked
into the region by thousands.
There—in the state which was the scene of the great
California placer gold strike—what may prove the biggest
find of the kind yet, has just been made, nearly a century
after California first became a mining sensation. And yet
some will say all chances for new finds are past in the min
ing areas of Amercia, Alaska included.
The old story has gone the rounds that young men no
longer know the game and will not take the chance nor take
to the game Yet this new strike—only 80 miles from Los
Angeles, was made by a man only 32 years of age, a recent
college student. And the property he found and opened
by intelligent application has lain there dormant for ages,
almost in the outskirts of a city of nearly two million popu
lation. .And his discovery is reputed now to have changed
hands for $3,500,000.
Uncle Sam himself is turning prospector—and for the
first time is backing the American mining industry with a
modern mining organization. Millions are to be advanced
under the new deal to aid mining. Loans are to be made to
mining concerns. Prospectors also are to be assisted.
Alaskans should not fail to get in line for their share—
and every young man with an ounce of ambition and oldsters
still blessed with health and activity will find a great incen
tive in California’s new strike.
Alaska is not yet scratched and millions will be made
out of her latent minerals not yet discovered. Who will get
them. Not the man who won’t try, not the man who won’t
take a chance, not the man so lacking in resource as to say
he can’t find a way.
Nome should recognize opportunity and not have to look
back regretfully at the things that could have been done.
A Chamber of Commerce constitutes the machinery
through which a large and powerful influence is wielded to
wards the promotion and industrial advancement for a city.

A self-explanatory letter to Nome
Daily Nugget, written at Washing
i ton, December 20, by Delegate A.J.
Dimond, was received in the last
mail, reading as follows:,
“Herewith enclosed is copy of Pub
j lie No. 260—73rd Congress, relating
to small homesteads or homesites
and providing for survey thereof
without expense to the applicants
This Act was passed in its present
form and with limitation of resi
dence requirements to five months
each year, at my insistence and over
considerable opposition. This Act
is of importance to many people of
Alaska, both in the interior and on
the coast, for many settlers who
have their homes on small tracts
would be entitled to survey and
patent under this Act at very slight
expense. Heretofore the applicant
was obliged to pay the cost of sur-:
vey himself and this cost was, in
many cases, prohibitive
"It has come to my attention that
i very few pepole in Alaska know
anything about this amendment to i
the law and therefore I request that
you publish the Act in full in your
paper at some convenient time tor
the information of the public.”
j
The Act in full as passed and ap
proved, follows:
ACT IN FULL
(H. R. 7306)
An Act to amend Section 10 of the
Act entitled, “An Act extending
the homestead laws and providing
for right-of-way for railroads in
the District of Alaska, and for ot
her purposes^1 approved May 14,
1898, as amended:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
| House of Representatives of the Un
ited States of America in Congress
assembled, That the first paragraph
of Sec. 10 of the Act entitled “An
Act extending the homestead laws
and providing for right-of-way for
railroads in the Distriqf of Alaska,
and for other purposes,” approved
May 14, 1898, as amended (USC,
title 48, Secs. 461, 462, 463, 464, anl
465; USC, Supp. VI, title 48, Sec.
461), is amended by inserting after
the first proviso in such paragraph
as amended, the following:
“Provided further, That any citi
zen of the United States, after occu
pying land of the character describ
ed as a homestead or headquarters,
in a habitable house, not, less than
five months each year for three yrs„
may purchase such tract, not exceed
ing five acres, in a reasonable com
pact form, without any showing as
to his employment or business, upon
payment of $2.50 per aore, under
rules and regulations to be prescrib-1
ed by the Secretary of the Interior, |
and in such cases surveys may be
made without expense to the appli
cants in like manner as the survey
of settlement claims under the Act
of June 28, 1918 (40 Stat. 632), as
amended by section 1 of the Act of
April 13, 1926 (44 Stat. 243): And
provided further, That the mini
mum payment for any such tract
shall be 10, and no person shall be
permitted to purchase more than
one tract upon a showing of good:
faith and necessity to the Secretary1
of the Interior. Approved, May 26,
1934 , -r.
