, Mining Bulletin Airs
Views on Claim Staking
I (From the Territorial Department
of Mines Bulletin for December)
The Claim Slaking Question
In answer to our request of last
month for opinions on whether the
two-per-month placer claim stak
ing law should be repealed, we
received only three letters. These
■were all in favor of repealing the
law so that placer claims could
be staked at the same rate as lode
claims. We assume that none of
our readers are seriously against
the proposal, for the strong ob
jectors to a proposal are the ones
usually heard from first and
most.
One of our correspondents went
on to say: “We recognize the evil
attendant upon staking claims
simply to block out competition,
and we think that, for both lode
and placer claims, the man who
makes the discovery should be giv
en a reasonable time to expand his
discovery, but not to merely hold
for an unlimited period of time,
claims which he has no intention
of developing.” He then goes on
to suggest that an equitable meas
ure for safeguarding every one’s
rights would be to require that as
sessment work be performed on
each and every claim to be held,
and not just on a few claims for
the whole group as it is now. There
is food for thought in the idea.
The U.S.G.S. has published two
new reports on the area 55 miles
long by 5 to 12 miles wide which
extends along the Nenana River
and Alaska Railroad across the
Alaska Range.
