son an I Albert K mg i ' the Ruby
1\], bn Co had quit duieing and
were' i 'i;. ’. t •! a mad for their
dragline ov t-v tailing piles.
It had been a month since they
put the Inst of the dirt through.
Kangas was operating .1 dozer
when he spotted the top side of
one of the largest gold nuggets
ft-and in recent years.
The nugget weighs 4b ounces
and at the mint price would be
worth about SI.500.
But this is n ' ordinary maggot.
It lias no quartz visible to the
naked eye. It is virtually all gold.
Richardson is asking S4.000 for
th.t nugget, a png bum price, and
he \vH probably get it.
Richardson and Kangas are
milling on Long Creek. 28 miles
<a.' of Ruby 0:1 the Ruby-Poor
man road.
Since this nugget is so big that
it went through the sluice boxes
with the rock, they are wondering
how many nc-rg sue', nuggets are
out there in the tailing piles.

Thomas - hai ;? Vasin
Xu fives Are Neglected
"Except a Elcmion Time”
SITKA .1’ Low ('ll Thomas Jr.,
lepublicau eanukiatc for toe US.
House of Representatives, said to
day that except at election time,
A i.-ka's natives have been the
“victims of studied neglect."
Thomas, speaking before the
Alaska Native Brotherhood and
Sisterhood Convention, said his
Nov. 6 general election opponent,
Rep. Ralph Rivers, has done noth
ing to help the state’s native citi
zens obtain clear title to their
lands.
-The most pressing problem
involving native land rights is
determination of the nature and’
extent of aboriginal native inter- 1
ests in the lands,” Thomas said.
■•The courts have consistently j
refused to recognize that Alaskan '•
natives have any property rights
in the lands occupied by them
unless and until Congress express
ly confers such property rights on
the natives.”
Thomas said that, if elected, he
would immediately introduce legis
lation in Congress to create an
Alaska Native Claims Commission
to cope with the problem of abori
ginal land rights.
Thomas also pledged to intro
duce legislation to permit the
leasing of lands withdrawn from
native use or for use by the Bu
reau of Indian Affairs, with all
revenues to be used for the bene
fit of the natives.
He said programs for public
works would be scrutinized to in
sure that a fair proportion of such
works goes to the native villages
for needed local improvements.
