ASSESSMENT WORK IN ALASKA
(The Alaska Weekly)
Recently “Mining Truth” ran an
editorial dealing with requirements j
as to mine assessment work. Maurice
T>. Leehey, well known Seattle attor
ney and recognized authority on Alas
kan mining and mining law, wrote
Mining Truth pointing out the dif
terference between requirements in
Alaska and in the States, The let
ter was published and we are repro
ducing it herewith.
“The editorial entitled ‘Mine As
sessment Work’ in your issue of the
16th is concise and correct as the
amendment applies in the States, but
might mislead some of those inter
ested in Alaska where a different
rule obtains in two important par
ticulars.
“In Alaska the annual assessment
work must be completed by noon of
July first.
“Further, the failure to fully com
plete such assessment work in Alas
ka, before the end of the fiscal year
for which the work is intended abso
lutely forfeits the location and ren
ders it void. Such a failure in the
States merely renders the claim sub
ject to forfeiture; that is, the ground
may be located by another qualified
locator. But in the States an owner
who failed to do the assessment work
on such mining claim may still hold
it by resuming work if he does so be
fore anybody else has made a new
locaton on the ground. In other
words, such a failure in the States
merely makes the claim subject to
forfeiture while the failure in Alaska
actually forfeits and terminates all
rights of the locator. An Alaskan
location cannot be held after such
failure by resuming work or by con
tinuing work started before the end
of the assessment year and not com
pleted in time. The Alaska locator
loses his claim even if no location
is attempted by anybody else. The
only way such a locator in Alaska
can hold such ground is by a new
location and in Alaska a forfeiting
claim owner cannot make a new
location of the same ground until
another year has passed. See Act of
Congress of March 2, 1907 (35 Stats.
L. 1243). Thatcher vs. Brown, 190
Feb. 708 and 711, 111 C. C. A. 436.”
This is all too true. Nothing is
free in Alaska from conflicting gov
ernmental handicap. The miner and
prospector in Alaska must conform
to both Territorial and Federal law
covering locations and . assessment
work and in many instances as cited
by Mr. Leehey the two are entirely
different.
AS YOU WERE
School has started in Seward anil
the little dears are just as smart and
cute as thdty were at the beginning
of last term. The teacher in history
asked one of the lads to state the
amount spent for education in any
one year in this country. After hesi
tating a while, he wrote:
“In 1400, nothing.”
DIED
Margaret Muggins, a native child
of ten years, while running races at
Tenakee, fell dead. The attendant
physician ascribed heart failure as
the cause of death.
