THE ALASKA MINING LAW
Being extracts from “Alaska Mining Law.” by Hon. Henry
Roden, of Juneau. Reprinted by courtesy of the Author.
Fourth Installment
From these provisions it may
be concluded that any lands in
the possession and use of any
Indian at the time of the
passage of the latter act (June
Gth, 1900) are withdrawn
from entry as mining locat
ions. Whether or not the same
nile applies to lands taken up
by Indians since that time
has never been decided, but it
probably does not, provided
entry can be made without
disturbing the possession of
the Indian. It must be at all
times remembered that it is a
general and cardinal principle
of the law that no entry, can
be made upon land for any
purpose which involves a tres
pass or a breach of the peace.
Undoubtedly, where a pros
pector can enter any land in
the actual use and occupation
of an Indian, (except on an
Indian Reservation) with the
Indian’s consent, express or
implied, that is, if a peaceable
entry can be made, and he
then discovers any valuable
minerals within its confines,
he can make a valid mining
location, subject, of course, to
the Indian’s right to control
his possession of the surface
and enjoy the same. In pass
ing, it may be stated that an
Indian has a right to sell and
dispose of any rights he may
have in any particular tract of
land, but care must be exer
cised that the transaction is
made in good faith and there
must be no over-reaching on
the part of persons dealing
with the Native. The Indian
should be made to fully un
derstand the transaction and
a fair and adequate compen
sation should be paid him for
whatever rights he may trans
fer.

naval reserves are completely
withdrawn from entry and
any mining location made
within any of them is void.
The same may be said about
| lands set aside for missions.
I The lands embraced within
the National Forest Reserves
in Alaska are open for explor
ation, and mining locations
may be made within their
boundaries as though no re
serve had been declared. A
mining location made within
1 the Forest Reserve, however,
until patent has been issued
for the same, is more or less
''subject to the inspection of
I the Forest Officers, and if in
! their opinion the land is not
strictly mineral in character,
| they may object to the issu
ance of a patent, and since
they are, practically speaking,
in role charge of the timtaer
in the Forest Reserve, includ
ing the timber on a mining lo
cation made therein, they may
j exercise, through this means,
| considerable influence upon
j the prospector and miner.
However, it has uniformly
been found that the Fores!
Officers are at all times not
only willing but anxious to as
sist prospectors in the Re
! serves and it is not likely that
from this source any obstacle:
will ever be placed in the
path of the miner.
I Under the act of June 25th.
1910, “An Act to authorize
i the President of the United
! States to make withdrawals
of public lands in certain
cases” (36 S. L. 847; F. S. A.
11912 Sup. 321) lands suitable
| for power sites and other pur
poses have been withdrawn
bv Presidential proclamation
but the act especially provides
that such lands shall at all
i times be open to exploration
discovery, occupation and pur
chase under the mining laws
! of the United States “so far as
the same apply to minerals
other than coal, oil, gas 01
i phosphates.” This act was
j amended by the act of Aug
' ust 24th, 1912, (37 S. L. 497;
' F. S. A. 1914 Sup. 341) and
I under it prospecting on these
: reserved areas is prohibited ex
11 cept for “metalifferous min
• j er.ws”
1 Under the act of Congress ol
| March 4th, 1915, provision is
r made that sections sixteen and
j thirty six in each Township
Jin Alaska sh;*ll re reserved

the common schools in the
i Territory.

further upon these proposec
reservations for the reasor

I
a mining location has in fact
been made upon suCIi lands in
good faith, the locator will
i -infer no loss.
'■'here i > n v .al impression
abroad in the Territory that
die government reserves a
jtrip sixty feet wide along the
navigable waters of the Terri
tory, to be used as a roadway
which cannot be taken up by
any one. Such impression is
erroneous.
Until ( recently (June 5th,
1920) a strip eighty rods (one
quarter mile) in length had to
be left between- any two non
mineral locations which bord
ered on navigable water and
\ the sixty foot roadway reser
vation applied only to such
i eighty-rod strip which re
mained unappropriated. Un
der the act of June 5th, 1920,
no such strip need be left be
tween non-mineral locations
on lands within forest re
serves and on lands outside
of forest reserves the Secre
tar y of the Interior may waive
this provision. Mining locat
ions bordering on navigable
waters -as we . shall hereafter
oee, may be made down - to
the line of mean or ordinary
high watejr and the sixty-foot
road reservation never did
apply to mineral locations.
The acquisition of tide lands
inder the mining laws has
become quite an important
question in several sections of
the Territory, notably along
.ue xsenng oea arm ooum
western _ and Southeastern
Alaska. It is.a.settled princir ,.
; >f the law that no title car. be
required to lands belpw th
the line of ordinary or mean
high tide or below the ordi
nary high water mark on nav
igable rivers. It follows that
mining locations made below
ordinary high water mark or
. below mean high tide along •
! the seashore are void, at least
so far as the government is
(Concerned. When the beach
; at Nome attracted many min
j r s who were anxious to ex
! tra£t the gold found in the al-.
| luvial deposits below ordinary
1 mean high tide, Congress saw,
fit to pass a special act on
j June 6th, 1900, applicable
' only to the shores of Bering
j Sea and under this act it is
j provided that as long as there
|s no interference with free,
i navigation the lands lying be
' twt|an mean high and low
I tide may be mined for gold
and other precious minerals
under reasonable rules and
: rgulations made and adopted
by the local miners dealing
j with the temporary posession
| and mining of such lands
] There is a further provision
under which lands found be
low low tide may be mined
under such rules and regulat
ions as the Secretary of War
may prescribe. At Nome the
rule was that a miner was al
lowed to hold as much ground
as he could reasonably work
during an ordinary shift. A
miner would place his rocker
and- begin shoveling in what
dirt was within his reach.
While it is true that these
provisions apply to Bering
Sea only, there can be no
question that such course may
be followed by miners in other
sections of the Territory find
ing valuable deposits under
, conditions, similar to those
, which prevailed on Seward
l; Pfeninsula.
, It is clear then that lands
K down, to ordinary high wat?i?
or mean high tide _ may bo
