AFTER WOOD - CUTTERS
U. S. Land Officials Collect Thousands
From Commercial Companies For
Wood Burned by Yukon Steamers
The Skagway wood choppers and
others who have been cutting tim
ber on the public lan'.s in this vi
cinity during the last year have
deposited certified checks with P.
M. Mullen, receiver of public
moneys at the Juneau land office.
Their checks are accompanied by
affidavits as to the amount of tim
ber cut. The sum tendered in set
tlement is at the rate of 25 cents a
cord.
This will not settle the matter
until it shall have been passed upon
by the department at Washington.
Mr. Mullen will probably recom
mend the acceptance of the tenders
iu full settlement of all the govern
ment claims. He is confident the
woodmen of Skagway have made a
fair and honorable statement of the
amount of timber they have cut
and that the amount they offer is a
fair sum.
Hereafter. a person desiring to
cut timber on the public lands will
be required to first make applica
tion to purchase the timber upon a
piece of land which he must defi
nitely describe. If the timber on
the land shall be determined to be
worth not exceeding $100, it may
be sold by the receiver at private
sale. If, on the other hand, it shall
be determined to be of a greater
value than $100, it will be sold at
public auction ' to the highest
bidder.
Mr. Mullen recently received
checks aggregating nearly $14,000
from Leon Sloss, of the Northern
Commercial company, and Mike
Cudahy, of the North American
Trading and Transportation com
pany, in settlement of incursions
upon the government timber along
the Yukon river.—Alaskan.
