RELINQUISHED HOMESTEAD IS
MINERS’ HEADQUARTERS.
The soldiers' additional homestead
which M. A. Green relinquished was
for a track of land at the junction of
Stillwater creek and Bering river in
the Katalla coal fields. This tract
was used extensively by the early
prospectors in the coal fields, who
made it their headquarters, it being
located at the head of navigation on
Bering river.
The application was contested by
the government in the Juneau office
because it, with an adjacent tract
claimed by the same party, had a
shore line of more than 160 rods. Un
der the Alaskan law but 160 rods ot
shore line being allowed along the
shore of any navigable waters. The
defence asserted that neither Bering
river nor Stillwater creek were navi
gable, and the officers of the Juneat
office held that these creek* were not
navigable, but were reversed by the
commissioner of the general land of
fice. An appeal was then taken to
the secretary of the interior from the
decision of the commissioner, hut
later the application was withdrawn
