Secretary of the Interior Ickes
while making a talk at Anchor
age on his recent trip to Alaska,
told this one—which has Sour
dough hanging to it:
He said, I know I have talked
too long, but in closing I want to
tell a story. Dr. Gr.uening told
us this story this afternoon, may
be you have heard it before.
According to Dr. Gruening, an
Alaskan died and went to hea
ven. St. Peter told him heaven
was getting too crowded and
j there wasn’t room for many
| more Alaskans. The Alaskan
Sourdough told St. Peter that he
'knew how to solve that problem
1 —simply sart a rumor that gold
i had been found down below. So
St. Peter started the .rumor and
there was a great exodus for the
1 lower regions.
Pretty soon the Alaskan was
! the only one left with St. Peter.
! He came to the gatekeeper and
said he was sorry but he would
have to leave.
“Why?” said St. Peter. “There
is plenty of room here now.”
“I know,” replied the Alaskan
Sourdough, “but there may be
something to those rumors.”
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 placer and
a lode claim.
