Pioneers Ask More Pension
.. —
ANCHORAGE — The Grand
Igloo convention of the Pioneers
of Alaska, held recently, adopted
a resolution requesting the terri
torial legislature to liberalize
the pension law to provide $60 a
month for aged men and women
in Alaska and eliminate the pau
per’s clause from the applicants
for penson.
Currently, pensions range from
$20 to $30 a month, depending
on the needs of the individual.
Applicants must swear they are
paupers.
The Pioneers said the proposed
new law would relieve conges
tion at the Pioneers’ Home at Sii
ka and permit the aged to main
tain the American standard oi
living.
Two Kinds of Claims
_ It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
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 plaoer and
a lode slalm.
