SUTHERLAND AND ASSESSMENT’
WORK IN ALASKA
In explanation of his attitude in
opposition to the further extension
of time for the performanse of an
nual labor on mining claims in
Alaska. Delegate Dan Sutherland
recently addressed the following let-,
ter to William A. Sulzer, of New
York:
“Inasmuch as members of the
committee on mines and mining
have called my attention to tele
grams received from Alaskan
claim owners in New York setting
forth that I was misrepresenting
the sentiment of Alaska and the
people of Alaska in my attitude of
opposition to suspension of assess
ment work in the territory. I feel
that I must state to you briefly
just why I have taken the position
I have in regard to the bureau bill.
“In 1920 over 90 per cent of
Alaskan claim owners had perform
ed their annual labor before they'
were aware of the passage of the
act providing for suspension until t
July 1, 1921. which was signed by i
the President late in December.
“I believe I am safe in saying
that practically all of those who did
not perform their annual labor on
claim; in Alaska in 1920 intended
to abandon their claims rather than
perform the annual labor.
■'I maintain that it is not fair to
the Alaskan prospector who per
formed his annual labor in good
faith that those who had abandoned
their claims should have them ex
empted from assessment work by an
act of Congress. In other words, if
I did not perform my annual assess
ment work on a claim in Alaska, this
proposed act, the Bursum bill, would
peimit me to hold my claim just ■
the <ame a; my neighbor who per
foimed his annual labor in person or
expended SI0O for that purpose.
"I have no doubt there are a
great many Alaskan claim owners
who would like to hold their property
without the performance of annual
labor, but the Alaskan prospector, 1
without knowledge of any pending
legislation in Congress, went ahead
and did his annual work, and it is i
not fair to him to pass a law for the
relief of his thriftless neighbor. |
“I address this letter to you for i
the reason that in one of your tele- |
grams you set forth that my ‘friends :
would be mortified at my attitude.’ j
And I want to say to you that I
have given this matter very careful
study and that from the viewpoint
of a practical prospector and miner;
and if some of my friends are to be
mortified at my action. I feel that
those of my friends who are practi- ;
cal prospectors will commend my
action."
Miss Muriel Russell, who has been
visiting in the Canyon district dur
ing the past several days, started;
home today.
William Rodigkeit, proprietor of
the Tavern Cafe, went to Fairbanks I
on Sunday, on a business visit.
E. P. Allard went to Fairbanks
