OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
Washington, D. C., June 29
The bill to permit mining with
in the Glacier Bay National Mon
ument was enacted into Public
Law No. 750,by the 74th Congress
on June 22, when it was signed
by the President.
The Act provides: “That in the
area within the Glacier Bay Na
tional Monument in Alaska, or as
it may hereafter be extended, all
mineral deposits of the classes
and kinds now subject to loca
tion, entry, and patent under the
mining laws of the United States
shall be, exclusive of the land
containing them, subject to dis
posal under such law, with right
of occupation and use of so much
of the surface of the land as may
be required for all purposes rea
sonably incident to the mining or
removal of the minerals and un
der such general regulations as
may be prescribed by the Secre
tary of the Interior.”
Increasing evidence of valuable
mineral deposits within the boun
daries of the Monument induced
Delegate Dimond to undertake
removal of the prohibition again
st mining entries being made
there, as contained in the Execu
tive Order establishing the Mon
ument in 1925. His efforts were
first d'recterl towards having the
original Order modified to permit
mining in this area on the same
basis as on public lands, and as
is allowed in the Mount McKin
ley National Park, through a fur
ther Executive Order or Presi
dential Proclamation. When this
could not be arranged, a bill was
drafted and introduced in the
House on January 3, 1936, the
opening date of the second ses
sion, which would apply the gen
eral mining laws of the United
States to lands within the Monu
ment. However, when the bill
was reported by the House Com- i
mittee on Public Lands the text j
was amended to permit location
I and occupation of entries under ’
regulations prescribed by the Sec ,
retary of the Interior as noted j
above. An identical bill was in
troduced in the Senate by Sena
tor Schwellenbach of Washing- j
ton, at the Delegate's request and
was passed on June 18.
The regulations of the Secre
tary of the Interior affecting min
eral locations in the area have
not yet been announced, but it is
believed that they will be liberal
enough to permit mining develop
ment and still preserve the natu-j
ral character of the monument.
It is reported that arrangements
have been made by interestd per
sons to finance mining explora
tion and development on an ex- 1
tensive scale during the present1
summer, which may result in con
siderable employment at once.
The bill to extend and increase
agricultural experiment station
work and extension service work
in Alaska was approved by the
President on June 20. This Act,
which was sponsored by Dele-.
gate Dimond, authorizes the ap
propriation of $7,500 beginning j
with the fiscal year 1937, and an-;j
nual increases until 1947 when

ment of this measure extends to

Ketcham Act.
The Alaska section led all the
States in the huge parade held in
Washington on June 27 in cele
bration of the nomination of
Franklin D. Roosevelt for his 2nd
term as President.
The Parade consisted of enthu
siastic delegations from each of
he States and Territories carry
ing the State flags and banners
proclaiming confidence in the Pre
sident. Precedence in the pro
.-ession was determined accord
ng to the alphabetical order of
he States in order to avoid pos
iible claim of partiality in allot
ment of positions. However, the
propriety of placing Alaska in
front of Alabama was unanim
ously agreed to in recognition of
the fact that in 1932 the Alaska
delegates to the National Con
vention were the first to pledge
the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt.
The Alaska section, consisting
of about 25 residents of the Ter
ritory who are now living in
Washington, was led on the left
and right by two native Alaskans
carrying the Stars and Stripes
and the Territorial flag. Albert
Brown of Hydaberg, and Bennie
Pikutark of Nome, filled these*
two prominent positions.

dent on June 20.
