Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lodp,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.

PLATFORM OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY OF ALASKA
The Platform of the Democratic Party of Alaska, adopted at the
Territorial Convention held at Seward on Jan. 18, 1936, is the plat
form on which every Democratic candidate runs for Territorial
office until the next Territorial convention to be held early in 1940.
It consists of 21 planks which we herewith publish in numeri
cal order as space permits:
(Continued from Last Issue)
of the mining industry is essen
tial to the development of the
Territory, and we favor the en
actm.nt of laws fer the encour
agement of prospecting, and the
continuation of financial assist
ance to the Alaska offices of the
U. S. Bureau of Mines.
9. We believe the prosperity
10. We urge that the net rev
enue accruing to the United Sta
tes from the seal fisheries of Al
aska should be covered into the
Territorial treasury by suitable
! legislation by Congress to that
end.
11. We recommend and sup
; port the liberlization of the laws
with respect to the ownership,
operation and development of
the coal and oil lands in Alaska,
in such manner that the title
thereto may ultimately vest in
the locator or claimant, with
such restrivtive regulations only
as will effectively prevent mon
opoly.
12. In the name of humanity
we urge that the Federal govern
ment carry out its responsibility
. for the care and medical relief of
! the Indians and Eskimos of Al
! aska. We endorse the hospital
; building program of the Alaska
I (Division of the Office of Indian
Affairs and pledge our party to
; work for its accomplishment.
, We demand that the Office of
Indian Affairs give to the Terri
tory of Alaska the same recogni
tion and treatment in defraying
costs for the education of Indians
: and Eskimos that it does to the
States for similar expenditures.
'I 13. We endorse the action of
i ■ ■—■ ■■
the Federal Government in es
tablishing the Matanuska coloni
zation project, and urge that in
any extensions of the plan into
other districts or in adding mem
bers to the Palmer colony, that j
first consideration be given to
bona fide residents of the Terri
tory.
14. We believe that adequate ap
propriations should be made to
properly maintain the necessary
agricultural experiment stations
and technical service required to
insure that the farming popula
tion of the Territory shall re
ceive the benefit of modern agri
cultural advances.
15. Communication and trans
portation are dominant factors in
the development of Alaska, and
recognizing that commercial avi
ation can contribute immeasura
bly to these facilities, we recom
mend that the Federal Govern
ment and the Territory give ev
ery possible assistance to aerial
transportation by adopting a
policy whereby each section of
Alaska will receive aid accord
ing to its needs, and that avia
tion receive its proportion of
Territorial support in keeping
with its importance as a factor
in developing the resources of
the Territory.
We recommend the immediate
establishment of an air mail
route from the States to .Alaska,
and the revision of the present
star routes whereby the larger
centers and communities will be
served by airulane, and inter
mediate points by suitable means
of transportation.
(Continued in Next Issue)

is dedicated to the principle of representative self gov
ernment, and that its political creed makes it the true
