SnsRise^. June 10th.—There is
considerable feeling here on ac
count of th« records being taken
away from this district wit lion t
any official notice whatever. As
no one has been officially advised
as to where the records have been
taken one is at a loss to know
where to send, his instruments for
record.
It is not known whether the
same were removed by order of
Judge Wickersham, or if Commis
sioner Hildreth removed them on
his own responsibility.
However, the mining interests
ef Sunrise, Hope and the upper
part of Cook Inlet, are not only
seriously injured thereby but the
tsvic interests as well.
The people in this district cannot
nnderstand why the same were re
moved, and believe that a gross in
justice has been done this section.
The records were in all probability
taken to Seward, where Commis
sioner Hildreth now has his office,
and it is believed that the influence
of i he Alaska Central railway of
ficials was brought to bear in hav
ing the commissioner and recordei
removed from Sunrise to Seward.
Ob account of this the interests
here are seriously injured at-times,
earing to the mail facilities it would
be impossible to obtain a copy of
a record, an abstract, or the record
of any instrument in any shorter
time than five or six weeks.
This district is now without
any records whatsoever to con
sult, which is also a hardship; as
any one familiar at all with min
ing is aware that the records are
being constantly looked at for in
formation regarding transfers, loca
tions, &c.
This se:tion has more actual
placer and hydraulic mines in op
eration, and more money invested
in machinery, &c., than any other
piace on the coast north of Juneau
south of Nome, and to deprive it 6f
a recorder is unjust.
The largest hydraulic plants ever
brought to this section of the coun
try are operated by Mr. S. W. Wi
bie, of Six Mile and Canyon creeks.
JameB Gird wood, of the Crow Creek
Alaska G. M. Co., of Crow Creek,
ibe Crow Creek Consolidated M.Co.
besides numerous smaller ones, and
■'so the properties of Mr. Jas. Buz
sard in the Hope district, as well
as many others.
One cannot understand why the
records were removed. Surely if a
commissioner and recorder were
needed at Seward, the Cook Inlet
precinct is of such large area that
it could have been divided, say
somewhere commencing at Kenai
amd running east taxing in all of
tb» water shed above that point,
and allowed the records to remain
•t »unnse. it is believed that a
according office was established
here about one year ago by and
through a petition sent to Judge
Wickersham from this place, and
then only to be favored for little
•eer a year. It is to be hoped that
Judge Wickersham will see the ne
cessity of a commissioner and re
corder for this section, and to make
an order to that effect, so that the
lecords will again be at Sunrise,
where some of them have been lor
the past ten years.
