I:
Although there has been little said
about It in the outside press or pe
riodcals congress has under consider
ation at the present time a new min
ing law, which will make some radical
changes and which will alter mining
conditions everywhere in the coun
try. In Alaska the changes will not
be so radical as in the rest of the
country, but they will affect never
theless all placer and quartz miners
and prospectors. In a recent mail
from the states, John A. Clark, the
attorney, received a copy of the pro
posed act of congress and explained
today the changes to a representative
of the News-Miner. The most impor
tant change, so far as Alaska is con
cerned, is the manner in which claims
may be staked and final location made
on them.
Placer Staking.
Under the old law, a man staking
a claim was compelled to make a dis
covery of mineral before he could per
fect his location. Very often this lead
to litigation, as many claims have been
overlapped by other stakers before a |
discovery could be made. A recent
case in Fairbanks, in which some of
these features were at issue was that
of Williams vs. Fleischman.
Now, under the proposed law, when
a man makes his first staking of a
claim, he ha's exclusive right to it for
a year, in order to make his discovery
and perfect the location. The law
provides that he shall commence his
exploration work not later than CO
days after first staking it. Should
the stnker suspend work for more
than 90 days, within the first year,
without first having completed his lo
cation, he forfeits his right to the
, property.
If, at the expiration of one year, the
staker has not located mineral, and
wishes still to continue his explora
tion work, he must take the matter
into court and introduce evidence to
show cause why he should be permit
ted to continue with the work. The
court may then, if he sees fit, grant
the extension.
In the quartz mining, practically the
same rules apply, only that the ex
ploration work must start within 30
days after the first slaking.
Holding Claims.
The law provides further that no
man may hold more than one unpat
tented claim at any time in any place
in the United States, except in Alas
ka. In the territory the terms of the
Wickersham law are used, which does
not limit the number a man may hold.
Bill Before Committee.
The bill providing for these changes
is now before the house committee
and, according to the reports sent out
by it, it is likely that it will be re
ported favorably.
Bills, somewhat similar, have been
before congress at almost every ses
sion, but each time they were side
tracked iind it is possible that this
one will not get through, although its
chances for passage seem good at
present.- -News Miner.

CORRESPONDENTS CLAIM
DISPATCHES ALTERED
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The
claims of American newspapers and
magazine correspondents in Germany
that dispatches to their journals are
repeatedly altered and mutilated by
the British cencors will be the object
of an official inquiry.
The correspondents assert in a joint
protest received at the state depart
ment recently that the altering and
censoring of telegrams has been so
consistently carried on that they are
compelled to believe that the British
make a regular practice of censoring
or altering anything objectionable
contained in dispatches emanating
from Germany,
The state department today for
warded the protest of the Berlin cor
respondents to Ambassador Page at
London with the request that he call
the matter to the attention of the
British authorities.
