DELEGATE ASKS LOCATORS
TO MARK OIL CLAIMS WEL1
The mail arriving from the Out
side yesterday brought the follow
ing circular letter from Delegat
Sutherland, addressed “To the lo
cators of oil claims in the Cold Ba;
and other districts of Alaska t
whom permits have been granted”
“I desire to call your attention t
the terms under which these per
mits have been issued by the Gen
eral Land Office and to urge upoi
yon tlhe necessity of complying wit!
the conditional provision container
in Section 7 1-2 of the permit, to
wit:
“ ‘This permit is granted upon th
express condition that the permitte
will adjust any conflict with an
prior applicant within six month
from date hereof.’
“Under the conditions that pro
vailed in locating areas, it has bee
impossible for the Department t
prepare accurate maps thereof. Th
requirement of the leasing law wa
for the placing of one stake onl
in locating an area and consequent
ly it is more than probable that
survey would demonstrate that man
of these claims overlap, and thi
would apply particularly to the Wes
field of the Cold Bay district wher
most of the locations were made.
“In issuing these conditional pei
mits it is the purpose of the Ger
eral Land Office to facilitate a:i
encourage prospecting, and the o
prospector should appreciate this ur
usual procedure in ihis interest t
the extent of co-operating'with th
Department by establishing th
boundary lines of his claims withi
the period of time provided for i
the above-quoted Section 7 1-2.
“Any prospector is aware of th
fact that the only sure way of fixin
the boundary lines of a claim is b
the establishment of corner post
or mounds, and that any claim tha
is worth locating is worth locatin
well, with a view to preventin,
future litigation.
“We assume that the locating o
Cold Bay was done in a manner us
ual with prospectors and that group
of two, three or four men wer
present at the locating of severe
claims and that some one membe
of the group is capable of actin;
for the other members in fixing th
boundary lines of the severe
claims, and I therefore respectful!
suggest that if it is not convenien
for all locators to go to the field
within iihe time specified in the per
mit, it would be well to select om
who is familiar with the location
and give him the authority to go b
the field and act for others as wel
as himself in placing comer mound
and establishing the lines.
“A Department Surveyor is goinj
to the Cold Bay district this sum
mer who will make a sort of skele
ton survey of the district, but thi
survey will 'have no connection wit'
your claims except insofar as i
may establish a few base lines. Sec
tion 7 1-2 does not imply that a sur
vey of your claims is required, bu
simply that all conflicts be adjuste:
within the six months and all con
flicts will be permanently settlec
I when comer mounds are established j
I by common consent of all interested !
! locators.
“It is believed to be a certainty
> that at least one drill will operate
. at Cold Bay this summer; boundary
r-! lines can be easily adjusted without
>: dispute prior to discovery of oil, as
. a few acres more or less are not
> considered of great value to an
. area, but in the event of a good
_ | discovery of oil before all lines are
j established the history of mining
i camps will surely be repeated in al
j most endless litigation, while clouded
. titles will hamper business transac
tions.
;: “I make the request herein ex
,1 pressed for a two-fold purpose, first,
1
)
i i
that each and every prospector who
has gone into these remote places
to locate areas of oil ldnd may have \
clear and undisputed title to his
areas in the event of an oil strike;
and, second, that the General Land
Office may be relieved of much labor
