DANGEROUS PROJECT
In hit recommendation for cp
ordination of bureaus in Alaska
and suggestions offered for benefit*
ing the Territory, Judge Schofield
of Nome reeommends that annual
assessment work be abolished and
a fee of $20 annually be substitut
ed for each claim. This system
I carries with it dangers that should
| be considered before any change is
made in the assessment laws. Un
der the fee system it will be possi
ble for non-residents to bold min
ing ground while waiting for those
developing.in the vicinity to deter
mine its value. Again large areas
may thus be. tied up and held in
definitely without development.
One of the chief sources of revenue
of many prospectors is the perfor
mance of annual assessment work
for ethers. This assessment work
not only serves to provide revenue
but it opens up the country. While
a few prospectors may find it - a
hardship to go out to their claims
and do assessment work, the real
miner uses this method to develop
a mine. Under a sort of a miners'
code the instances where a pros
pector is deprived of his claim by
jumping on technicalities are rare.
Not only does the annual assess
ment work help the genuine pros
pector and miner, but it stands in
the way of the elaim hog.
There is enough mining ground
held by the pencil in Alaska. What
fs wanted are more stringent rules
governing digging and fewer relax
ations of the present regulations.—
Anchorage Times.
Great care should be exercised
by the legislature in the matter of
creating new Territorial offices, as,
considering the fact that there is
only a population of thirty thous
and white residents in the Terri
tory, it must be admitted that it is
very much over-officered at pres
ent. Instead of creating new high
salaried positions, a number al
ready in existence should be elimi
nated as excess baggage. In fact,
the fewer laws passed at the ap
proaching legislature the better it
will be for the Territory, as there
ard already many "dead ones” on
the statutes. Until full Territorial
government is accorded us, mod
eration should be the watchword
especially in the matter of law
making.—Stroller’s Weekly.
