PROPOSED L\W ON
ASSESS VI ENT WO RK
We are indebted t<» Mr. Vic
tor .J ulien, of the F* r*«md divis
ion for one of the most import- j
ant Memo] ials th»t \us pas?f*di
by the last bath.) session of the
Alaska. Territorial legislature
by this time his probably bee>
]>resented to tl,e Presideni by
D debate Sutherland, wnich is as
follows:
To amend the minima laws i
of tho United States as to permit
owners of claims to pay an an
nual fee of S100. if they so de
sire. in lieu of assessment work ,
valued at that amount, to the
clerk of the district court of
their division, the clerk to tor
ward sums so paid to the divis-,
iotral ro id fund of the division
to be applied to road and work j
on bridges and trails.”
Alaska being strictly a min-!
ing territory one can readily
see how quickly the funds would
accumulate for such a neces-j
sary cause, nine men out of ten
would certainly prefer to pay j
the cash if they knew that their
money would be used for road
building in the section they are
interested in: that is men who!
are holding only a few claims
would.
The ones who buy a few dol
Isrs worth of grub and put in
their time doing five thousanr
dollars worth of assessment
work would naturally prefer!
the old way. We know the old !
way —in manv cases— does not J
prospect the gioin d, the new
way for that matter does nor |
either, but eventually, if this
Memorial is confirmed by con
gress, one w:ll have a- decent
trail to pack supplies to his prop
erty, which is more than one
has now.
With a live committee to solic
it subscriptions and the ever
ready generosity of the town
folks. Mel artl y will celebrate
Independence Day as usual. This
means a big day for everybody
McCarthy citizens are going
to give the visitors the best time
they ever had.
