New Game Law
Regulation Books
Ready This Month
A number or signiricant chang
es in the Alaska Game Law regu
lations were announced this week
by Secretary of the Interior
Douglas McKay. The 1954-55 rules
become effective on July 1.
As the result of requests from
sportsmen the regulations for the
first time permit moose hunting
with bow and arrow in the Anch
orage area.
The new regulations permit the
taking of mature caribou of either
sex in areas open to hunting. The
taking of female caribou and
fawns was prohibited in some
areas last year.
To simplify their use, rules
have been revised to include tab
les setting forth season and bag
limits for specific areas. Five days
have been added to the gunning
season for moose east of 141 de
grees W. Longitude in southeast
ern Alaska. In the Kenai Penin
sula area, 22 days have been ad
ded. The season in part of the
Alaska Peninsula area has been
reduced from 20 days to 16. A
10-day season has been approved
for the taking of caribou on a
part of the Alaska Peninsula
where the hunting of these ani
mals was previously not permit
ted.
The taking of elk, which was
formerly allowed under a limit
ed number of permits, will not
be continued.
Twelve days have been added
to the season for mountain goats,
except in southeastern Alaska
where the season will remain un
changed. There will be separate
opening dates for mountain sheep
hunting in the areas north and
south of the Yukon River. The
season will be lengthened by 15
and 10 days, respectively. The
season for brown and grizzly
bear on Kodiak Island has been
shortened by 35 days. A redefin
ition of open areas for hunting
other species of bears will give
additional protection to the glac
ier (blue) bear.
Printed copies of the regula
tions, as amended, will be avail
able this month at the regional
office of Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice in Juneau, or from loeal en
forcement officers throughout the
Territory.
1700 Acres of Land
Restored In
Matanuska Coal Fields
Governor B. Frank Heintzle
man announced this week that
Secretary of the Interior has
signed a public land order restor
ing 1700 acres of land in the Ma
tanuska coal field to develop
ment under the Alaska Coal Leas
ing Act of October 20, 1914. This
order will permit the expansion
of coal miring operations in the
area. During the withdrawal only
one coal mine was available to
supply the needs of the entire
Anchorge area. The original re
servations which included coal
leasing blocks number seven and
number 12 were made in 1917.
Governor Heintzleman pointed
.■out that revocation of these Al
aska land withdrawals follows
the Interior department’s policy
of restoring lands to their bes1
use just as rapidly as possible.
