Washington News Letter
By Will A. Steel
-x
On June 1 the Senate passed
House Joint Resolution 341,
which will have the effect of ex
empting the locators of mining
claims from the necessity of do
ing assessment work for the
year ending June 30, 1932. This
affects Alaska, where there have
been divergent opinions on the
wisdom of the measure. In urg
ing the passage of the Resolu
tion Senator Walsh, of Montana,
said: “Under the law $100 worth
of work must be done on each
claim each year. The year ends
on June 30. By reason of the
distressed condition many locat
ors have found it impossible to
do the work this year. If the
legislation is not passed, they
must do the work within the cur- I
rent month.” The Resolution!
then passed without any opposi-1
tion, having previously passed
the House, and is as follows:
Resolved, etc., That the pro
vision of section 2324 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United
States which requires on each
mining claim located, and until
a patent has been issued there
for, not less than $100 worth of
labor to be performed, or im
provements aggregating such
amount to be made each year,
be, and the same is hereby, sus
pended as to all mining claims
in the United States, including
Alaska, during the fiscal year
from July 1, 1931, to July 1, 1932.
The nomination of Charles A.
Sheldon as Postmaster at Seward
for another term of four years
was confirmed by the Senate on
June 1.

mended to Speaker Garner for
inclusion in his bill, by the vari
ous Committee Chairmen. As a
* result the bill as introduced in
| the House contains the following
jinteresting items: Construction
of a postoffice building at An
chorage, to cost $425,000, and a
post office and court house at
Ketchikan, to cost $400,000; im
provement of rivers and harbors
jand other waterways, Dry Pass
jin southeastern Alaska, $79,000;
‘Kodiak harbor, $77,000; Nome
j harbor, $253,000; Sitka harbor,
•$65,500; Tolovana river, north of
Fairbanks, $40,000; Wrangell
harbor, $56,000; Wrangell Nar
rows, $142,000; all making a
| total of $1,539,500. The total
j amount to be appropriated by
the bill is two billion and one
hundred million dollars.
The Interior Department re
ceived unanimous consent to
take up Senate bill 4525 out of
order. It provides for the trans
fer of the duties of the Board of
Road Commissioners in the Ter
ritory of Alaska from the War
Department to the Department
of Interior. The bill was then con
sidered by the Senate and wasj
passed without an opposing vote, i
In his statement Senator Howell j
said: “The reason why I make j
this request is that the select j
committee appointed by the
Senate to investigate the Alas
kan Railroad came to the con
clusion that it was wise to trans
fer the trails in Alaska from the
War Department to the Interior
Department. It presented the
matter to the War Department,
the Interior Department, and the
President, and the three agreed
that this transfer should be
made. We are anxious to have it
made, because the travel for the
coming summer will soon begin.”
The bill, or rather a similar
one, has been favorably report
ed in the House and is now on
the calendar, but the Senate bill
will be substituted and Repre
sentative Taylor expresses the
opinion that it will be passed
and become a law before Con
gress adjourns.
Three of Delegate Wicker
sham’s bills that have passed the
House have been favorably re
ported by Senator Bingham as
Chairman of the Committee on
Territories and the bills are now
on the Senate calendar, with the
expectation that they will pass
before Congress adjourns. These
bills concern bond issues in the j
towns of Juneau and Petersburg'
and provide that the War De- j
partment shall submit estimates
to Congress for the maintenance
of the government wharf at
Juneau.

cial requirements of the work in

A correspondent in one of the
Washington newspapers declares
that “Something must be done to
save the bears of Alaska before
it is too late.” He further adds
that “The grizzly bears of Alaska
ere threatened with extermina
tion. There'are a few thcussand
grizzly bears left on the islands
of Admiralty, Baranof, Chicha
gof, and Kodiak, but what is
needed to protect them is a bear
sanctuary.”

Arthur B. Harris engaged in
fishing in Alaska for several
years past but a couple of
months ago left Warm Springs
Bay and went to Puget Sound.
He found it almost impossible to
get employment there and with
three or four other Alaskans
joined an Oregon contingent of
Veterans and came on to Wash
ington in the hope that they
might impress upon the Con
gress the necessity of paying the
Soldier bonus or making some
Giher provision for the unem
ployed.

Ralph Boyer, chairman of the

see if an arrangement could not
be made to secure some repre
sentation from Alaska at the
first annual convention of High
School Students, to be held in
Washington, June 22, 23, and 24.
He was advised to take the mat

vited to stop over in Washington
and attend the Students con
vention.

A manuscript report on the
geology and mineral resources
of the Moose Pass-Hope district
by Ralph Tuck, has been com
pleted and issued by the U. S.
Geological Survey. The Moose
Pass-Hope district lies in the
Chugach Mountains, in the
northern part of the Kenai Pen
insula, directly adjacent to the
Aiaska Railroad and to Turna
gain Arm. More than 60 miles of
well-constructed roads within
the district make it one of the
most accessible mining areas in
the railroad belt. The topo
graphy is typical of the Chugach
Mountains, the altitude ranging
from sea level to more than 5,
000 feet. Vegetation is heavy
along the streams, and the tim
ber line is around 2,000 feet
above sea level.
