HOLDERS OF EARLY
MINE CLAIMS SOUGHT
The Fairbanks District Man
ager of the Bureau of Land
Management, Richard L. Quin
tus, has announced the Bureau
is seeking holders of mining
claims in the Chatanika River
Kokomo Creek area. This area
includes the drainage of Poker,
Pilot, Captain, Alder, Rusty
Gold and Kokomo creeks.
A search of the mining rec
ords shows that many placer
mining claims were recorded
for the above drainages be
tween 1901 and 1941. Many of
these locations predate the dis
covery claim of Felix Pedro lo
cated July 25, 1902. The lack
of fecent recordings of affida
vits of annual labor and field
examination indicates there is
no longer any mining interest
in the area.
Mr. Quintus stated this
search is part of the process of
defining the lands which may
be transferred to the State of
Alaska under the provisions of
the Statehood Act. Therefore.
Quintus has asked that anyone
having an interest in any min
ing claims in the above describ
ed area contact the Bureau of
Land Management, 516 Second
Ave., Fairbanks.

□ True □ False
The Fable
One-fourth of the nation's leading citizens think rural electric
systems, financed by Rural Electrification Administration
loans, pay no taxes. This erroneous impression was revealed
in a recent national public opinion survey.
The Facts
America's rural electric systems, owned by the people they
serve, pay local, state, and federal taxes running into millions
of dollars annually. Many rural electrics are the biggest tax
payers in their counties.
Rural electrics, operating on a cost basis to bring member
consumers electricity, generally pay the same taxes as any
other business. They do not pay Federal income tax because
they do not make a profit. Monthly electric bills pay op
erating expenses, depreciation, and interest and principal
payments on REA loans. Any over-payments are returned
to members.
