There has been some question
regarding the rights of prospec
tors in McKinley National Park
Ernest Walker Sawyer took it up
with the land commissioner and
Directeor Albright of the national
park service. He writes the Seward
Gateway enclosing replies which
confirms the impression of many
prospectors that they have a right
to go into the park and make find
ings under the laws as is. Here
are some of the answers on the

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. SAW
YER
Reference is made to your me*
morandum of October 22, 1930, re
garding mineral prospecting in
tftie Moiunt McKinley National
Park.
The National Park was created
by the act of February 26, 1917
(39 Stat. 938). Section 4 of the
act provided:
“Nothing in this Act shall in any
way modify or effect (sic) the
mineral lands laws now applicable
to the lands in the said park.”
Accordingly, prospecting for all
minerals except those the dispo
sition is governed by the Federal
leasing laws is permissible in the
Park, by reason of the statuary
provision but not excepting the
Alaska coal leasing law.
The leasing act of February 25.
1920 (41 Stat. 437) excludes (Sec
tionl) national parks from its op
eration.
The amendatory acts to the act
of February 26, 1917, and those of
January 30, 1922 (40 Stat.359), and
of May 21, 1928 (45 Stat 022)
neither of which have any rele
vancy.
In the first session of the pre
sent Congress, a bill (S. 196) was
introduced, providing in effect for,
among other things, the elimina
tion of Section 4 of the Act of
February 26, 1917. As passed by the
Senate the bill provides that the
Secretary shall have authority to
prescribe regulations for the sur
face use of mineral locations al
ready made, or that may hereafter
be made, in the Park. This bill is
now pending before the House
Committee on Public Lands.

Acting Commissioner.

Referring to attached, it is true
that prospecting is permited in
Mount McKinley National Park. I
don’t think there is any doubt in
the minds of Alaskans that this
is so. I don’t see how there could
be because they have been pros- j
pecting right along.
However, the following provision
to control prospecting all over the |
park was drafted and this has!
passed the Senate:
“Sec. 2. That hereafter the Sec
retary of Interior shall have au
thority to prescribe regulations for
the surface use of any mineral
laind locations already made or
that may hereafter be made with
in the boundaries of Mount Mc
Kinley National Park, in the Ter
ritory of Alaska, and he may re
quire registration of all prospec
tors and miners who 'enter the
park: PROVIDED, That no resi
dent of the United States applic
able to Alaska shall be denied en
trance to the park for the pur
pose of prospecting or mining.”
This provision is contained in
the Senate Bill, No. 198, which
passed the Senate on May 7, 1930.
I think this bill will go through in
the coming session of Congress

Director.
