ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ASSESSMENT FOR EACH TWENTY
ACRES
Ikiit r Times. Sir; Since the passage of the mining law by the Alaska legisia
litre it has been asserted by interested parties that that part of the law which requires
>100 worth of work for every 20 acres or fraction thereof in association claims (after
December 31, 1914) is void, because the territorial legislature exceeded its authority and
because the law is retroactive. . .
In order to clear up these disputed points I wrote Mr. Curtis II. Lindley, author o.
•'Lindley on Mines,” acknowledged to be our greatest authority on mining law. I for
warded him a copy of the new law and pointed out the questions at issue, lie answered
“San Francisco, Oct. 25. 1913.
“!. F. Zimmerman. Esq.. Fairbanks, Alaska. .
i>ear Sir; Your favor of September Ft raise, rnr'' v— y ’"^resting prob
lcms. 1 know of no authority bearing directly on the proposition of the validity of a
legislative enactment requiring association placer claims already located at the date of
the'act to be represented by $100 worth of labor for each twenty acres of area. There
is no question as to the desirability of such legislation in Alaska, and this fact will doubt
less influence the court in passing on this question to uphold the constitutionality of the
act if it cim see its way clear to do so.
"There is l.ttie question in my mind but that congress would have power to enact
such legislation, even to applv retroactively, and in the absence of such action by con
gress. why may not the legislatures of the states and territories impose such conditions?
also inclosing a memorandum of extracts from the federal statutes which
mav aid you in arriving at a conclusion.
• •Very sincerely yours. CURTIS II. LINDLEY."
The extracts from the federal statutes referred to above are as folbws:
Section 2322. U. S. Uev Stats.: “State, territorial and local regulations not in
conflict with the laws of the United States governing their possessory titb" are expressly
recognized. , . ....... ,
Section 2324, U. S. Rev. St at., provides that “the miners of each distirct may make
regulations not in conflict with the laws of the United States or the laws of the state
or territory in which the district is situated, governing the local,oni manner of recording,
and amount of work necessary to hold possession of a mining claim, subject to the fol
lowing requirements:
"On e:ich claim located after the 10th day of May, 1S<2, and until a patent niL?
been issued therefor, not less than one hundred dollars’ worth of labor sha.l be per
formed or improvements made during each year.
The clear inference from the foregoing language of the federal statutes is that the
states and territories may legislate on the subject of assessment work, provided that the
amount of work required shall not he less than $100.
Section 2324. U. S. Rev. Stat., goes on to prescribe that “on all claims ljcateu
prior to the 10th day of May. 1572. $10 worth of labor shall he performed, etc.,
for each 100 feet in length along the vein.’’
This is clearly retroactive as affecting mining locations made under the mining act
of 1506. which did not prescribe the amount of annual labor necessary to hold a claim.
Mr. Lindley also inclosed some proof sheets of the third edition of “Lindley on
Mines.” which is now in press. Those inclosed contain some discussion of the subject of
annual labor which is very pertinent at this time. Commenting on the annual require
ments, he says:
“There is probably no single provision of the law which is evaded to a greater ex
tent than this one. While, of course, there are many exceptions, the average locator
exhausts his ingenuity in attempting to avoid this plain and wholesome requirement. Ihe
courts are disposed to deal with these dr.me-' in the 1 :v? with much more 1--niencj than
these tribunals, are odious, and ni many cas.es the reluctance with which they ne
they deserve. The statute is too frequently applied on sentimental lines. Forfeitures, say
force the law encourages, rather than deters, the systematic evasn n of it.
“The statute is extremely liberal as to the time in which the spin’tied amount of
work shall be performed. To illustrate: A location made on January 1, 189*. may. in
the absence of state laws or local rules requiring development work to be performed as
an act of location, be held without a stroke of labor until December 31, 1898, and in no
gree. tend ot promote the general objet and intent of the mining statutes the develop
the rule would not only command more respect for the law, but would, in a great de
gree. tend to promote the general object and intent of the mining statutes the develop
ment of the mining resources of the country.
“As was said by the supreme court of the United States, speaking through Justice
Miller:
“ 'Clearly, the purpose was * * to require every person who asserted an ex
elusive right to his discovery or claim to expend something of labor nr value upon it as
evidence of his good faith, and to show that he was not acting on the principle of the
dog in the manger.’
“A? it was in the days when mining privileges upon the public domain were gov
erned by local rules, so it is now the invariable rule that the locator’s only rignt to pos
session depends upon the performance annually of the specified labor. Ihe grant flow
ing from a perfected valid location is only protected from liability to forfeiture by ‘rep
resentation" ‘ J- F. ZIMMERMAN.
The above appears in the Fairbanks Weekly Times of November
31, 1913, with the following editorial reference made to it:
That such an authority as Mr. Lindley has been prevailed upon to pass on the
point, so soon after the question has arisen, and before harm has been occasioned by a
wrong construction of the law, or its legality, is matter for congratulation, and the
thanks of mining men are due to Mr. Zimmerman for the intelligent interest and activity
he has displayed in endeavoring to have b moot question of much importance settled as
conclusively as possible without resort to the courts.
It is a matter or extreme regret that the editor or the limes does
not read more carefully and comment more correctly.
The careful reader will note that not only does Mr. Lindley not
settle anything, but he does not even give any opinion. By inference
he does say that he thinks that the legislatures of states and territories
might impose such conditions, 1. e., require one hundred dollars’ worth
of work for each twenty acres.
There is nothing to indicate that Mr Lindley had before him the
organic act creating the present territorial government, and nothing
to indicate that he had ever seen it; but to the contrary, it would seem
that he had nothinig but the one session law which attempts to cover
this point.
1 here is no question but that Mr. Lindley is one or the highest min
ing law authorities in the United States, and most lawyers concede him
the highest place, and few if any will question the correctness of .his
statement that “there is little question in my mind but that congress
would have power to enact such legislation, even to apply retroactively,
and in the absence of such action by congress, why may not the legis
latures of the states and territories impose such conditions?” But some
lawyers would promptly answer that as to Alaska, the reason why its
legislatute could not impose such conditions was because such action
was positively prohibited by the very (organic) act which created the
legislature itself.
The organic act says: “The legislative power of the Territory
shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation not inconsistent with
the constitution and laws of the United States, but no law shall be
passed interfering with the primary disposal of the soil.”
When the supreme court of the United States shall have told us
just what is here meant by the words, “interfering with the primary
disposal of the soil,” then this “moot question of much importance will

be settled as conclusively as possible." Until then the question is a !
moot one indeed.
THAT PANHANDLE TRANSFER
_ j
It was not to be thought for a moment that the good people of j
Southeastern Alaska, or the “Panhandle," would quietly submit to
having their district and citizenship transferred to the domination ol
the British crown without at least a murmur of protest, and the Juneau
Empire, in dignified manner, rises to remark:
“Every now and then some wiseacre in congress rises up and
attempts to dispose of the Alaska panhandle, or Southeastern Alaska.
Several months ago a representative from Texas expressed the opin
ion that it should be presented to Canada as an act of amity and good
will, and in order to give that countrty a port at Skagway which would
enable Canada to have free and uninterrupted access to the Yukon.
Now comes a Maryland congressman who would empower the Pres dent
{ to negotiate with Canada for the cession to that country of Southeast
! ern Alaska, reciting as a reason that the ‘strip was created in response
to conditions which long ago ceased to exist, and which hamper de
velopment of the adjoining lands and constantly give rise to irritation
between the two countries.’
“We do not know where the Maryland man got his information as
to the reason for the ‘creation of the panhandle.’ He must have him
self created that peculiar item of knowledge, since thj panhandle was
a part of Alaska while the territory belonged to Russia. As for the
alleged ‘irritation’ that he refers to, it might be pertinent to ask as to
the source from whence came that luminous idea? Why irritation?
The Alaska panhandle was neither wrested nor stolen from Great Brit
ain, so why should the fact that it belongs to the United States irritate
Canada, or Maryland? The statement is preposterous, viewed from
i any standpoint. No doubt Canada would not object to the gift, but
there is nothing of record to show that the gift has been requested.
Furthermore, the Marylander ought to understaar.d that this is a mat
ter upon which the people of Alaska are entitled to be heard, and
there never has been a desire expressed or implied on the part of
Alaska to be annexed to Canada or any other country.
“However, Mr. Smith of Maryland—that is his name—expresses
. the belief of the average Eastern member of congress as to Alaska.
| Not knowing anything about the territory, and caring less, the mat
i ter of ‘sloughing off’ one of the very richest sections of Alaska to
! another counttry is a trifling matter However, there is smaii need to
j take Mr. Smith and his resolution seriously. The Alaska panhandle
will not be detached.”
In wishing its readers a “Happy New Year," coupled with pros
. perity. The Pioneer calls attention to the fact that this district offers
j perhaps greater opportunities for such happiness and prosperity than
j any portion of Uncle Sam’s domain. With vigorous operations in the
surrounding district revealing new sources of wealth continually, and
with older properties preparing for work during the coming season,
insuring lucrative employment for many men, with indications pointing
| to a new era of railroad building and operation in the Territory, and
the further opening up of its wonderful natural resources, there is everv
: reason to predict future prosperity. This, with a healthful and mod
j erate climate such as ours, breeds optimism as to the future in store for
Iditarod and the whole Territory.
The status of the Alaska railroad legislation seems to be that the
Houston bill can be passed by the house at any time that its sponsors
i seem inclined to push it. The rub will come in the senate, where the
conservative representatives of “big business” look with suspicion on
anything which smacks of government ownership. With the adminis
I tration and the lower house heartily in favor of the measure, it would
I appear that pressure will ultimately be brought to bear upon the upper;
house that will insure the inauguration of railroad building in Alaska i
i m the near future.
RUBY’S GOLD OUTPUT
.
' Already a number of papers throughout
the Territory are giving the figures of the
Ruby clean-up during the past season at
$70,000. And this is all because of the
manner in which several Fairbanks papers
tabulated the clean-up of that district, giv
ing Ruby credit for the amount stated, that
being the amount of Ruby gold which found
its way to Fairbanks in a small way in
commercial transactions and otherwise. Of
course, this all helped to increase the fig
ures of the gold production of Tanana dis
trict, but the way in which it was tabulated
has done a gross injustice to Ruby. One
I of the papers was even kind enough to say
i that the figures mentioned, of course, did
not represent the “entire clean-up of Ruby,"
intimating that it might be perhaps a few
thousand dollars greater than the sum
named.
However, for the benefit of those out
side of Ruby uninformed as to the actual
figures, we will again make statement that
the clean-up for the Ruby district during
the past season aggregated over one-half
million dollars. This was all Ruby gold—
none of it came from Iditarod. from the
Koyukuk or from Fairbanks.
And, in speaking of clean-ups, the saner 1
I
tion is ventured at this time that the clean
up of the Ruby district during the next
season will be somewhat of a surprise to
outsiders—the figures may even cause the
Fairbanks papers to take notice.
Operations now under way and those in 1
contemplation indicate that work through
out the district will be on a most enlarged
scale. Work is progressing on many new
creeks, which may now’ be reckoned as
producers, and these, together with the new
finds being regularly made, will add greatly
in coming outputs. Despite the handicaps
of the past year, this district made a most
excellent showing, but conservative mining
men are of opinion that the output of the
Ruby district for the coming year w'ill ‘
treble that of the past year. And, what is
more, they assert that the development of
this district has just commenced, and that
future w'ork will show' that as a successful
mining section it will stand second to none
in Alaska.—Ruby Record-Citizen.

Chairman Houston of the house commit
tee on territories recently said to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Fairbanks
News Miner: "I am disposed to await the
action of the senate on the Alaska railroad
bill before getting busy in the house. With
us in the house it will be no trouble at all
senate I
committed to the welfare of the measure, j
the fate of the bdl will be assured and its
passage made certain. But, providing the
senate sets aside the Alaska measure 1 will
ask the house to act upon the Alaska ruil
road bill as we have framed it. and to acl j
at once, as has been agreed upon. 1 hope j
to see the bill a law early in the coming j
year, that the President may begin then
to carry out the provisions of the bill in the
coming spring, that long-suffering Alaska
may be at last intelligently and materially
relieved from its many oppressions.”
In the window of a jewelry store at Fair !
banks one of the largest nuggets found in j
the district during the past season has been j
on exhibition. It is the property of Peter i
Fesh, who, with several companions, arrived
in that city recently from a summer’s min- |
ing in the Kantishna country. The nug- !
get is smooth ami well worn, being some- j
thing in the way of heart-shaped. It weighs ,
44'S ounces and is worth at the commer
cial valuation of >IG per ounce something j
over $700. However, it is probable that the i
nugget will assay even more than that, as ’
.he Kantishna god 1 usually runs higher in
valuation. It was only by accident that
the nugget was ever discovered. Mr. Lesh
ami partners were mining this summer by.
the open cut method on No. S Glen gulch,
and one day while one of the men was work
ing in the tailings he happened to notice a 1
shiny substance at the end of the sluice ;
boxes, where the water and tailings come
out. Upon making examination, the chunk
of gold was found, as well as another, al
though considerably smaller one. The nug
get is stated to have come from the ground
which produced a $1,000 chunk several
years ago. All the gold from there is more
* r less coarse.

For his heroism in saving the live? of
two drowning men at Tanana on July d,
1913. Henry Rowbottoin of the signal corps,
now located at the Fairbanks wireless sta
tion. has received a certificate of merit from
President Wilson. The certificate was given
to the young man upon recommendation of
the commending officer at Fort Gibbon. In
addition to the honor attached to receiving
the certificate, the recipient will receive $2
per month extra pay as long as he is in the
service of the government.
Captain NeiLson of the. schooner T C
Hill, who has just arrived in San Francisco
from Alaska, claims that there is a large
deposit of high grade anthracite coal in j
the Cook inlet country, which is of better
quality and more accessible than either ,
the Bering river or Matanuska coal. Capt.
Neibon says that the coal is located on
the Knik river, within easy reach of deep
water, the location of the deposit being
ideal both for mining and shipping. The
captain says he visited the coal field him
self and sampled some of the coal, which
he found to be of excellent quality.
In the office of the municipal clerk at
Fairbanks on November JO Miss Lillian Hill
registered for the coming municipal elec- !
tion, and thereby gained the distinction of
being the first woman in Fairbanks to en
roll under the new territorial law. which
extends the elective franchise to the fair
sex. Miss Hill is. so far as known, the
first woman in the Territory to take ad
vantage of the equal suffrage law.
When tl'.e big plant of the Alaska Gas
tiueau syndicate at Juneau is ready to be
gin operations, power for the machinery will
be furnished by coal mined in Alaska. Ar ,
rangements have been completed by the j
company for the regular shipment of coal
from the Whorf mine at Port Graham, i
which is rapidly assuming proportions as a j
producer. The Whorf company has en j
tered into a conrtact with the Alaska-Gas- !
tineau syndicate to supply 18,000 tons < i ’
coal annually, delivered at Juneau. Whorf, |
owner of the coal mine, gave out the par ;
ticulars of the contract in Seattle recently,
lie states that he will begin shipping coal
to Juneau in February next, and he hopes
soon to be able to supply other demands
for coal along the Alaska coasr. Whor!
w:* .-' granted a pate a to his claims some
tin’ ago, and since then has been act'xely
engaged in developing the property.
In order to impress upon President Wil
son the agricultural possibilities of the Tan
ana valley, Harry Hanford, an energetic
farmer of Fairbanks, sent five pounds of
native potatoes to President Wilson for his
Christmas dinner. To assure himself that
they will not be received by some person
in Washington who will convert them to
his own use, the farmer sent them to Dele
gate Wickersham with a request that he
deliver them to the White House.
Colonel C. McClure of the Thirtieth in
fantry passed away at Fort William H. Sew
ard, which is located near Haines Mission,
on November 23. Colonel McClure was
commanding officer of the Thirtieth infan
try, which is now stationed in Alaska, hav
ing risen to his rank after serving his coun
try for 38 years. Born in Illinois on Sept.
28, 1856, he was educated at homo, and at
the age of 21 was admitted to the military'
academy at West Point. Receiving hi*
commission as second lieutenant four years
later, he served and gradually rose in rank
until he reached his colonelcy. During the
Spanish-American war he served as captain,
and after the close of the war he was ap
pointed major of the Fourteenth infantry.
After lying in a helpless ami destitute
condition for a month, George Cowan, a
trapper and prospector of the lower Yukon, :
vas landed in safety at Nulato by Deputy
Marshal Berg and placed in the government
hospital under the care of Dr Brown, says
the Fairbanks Timse of November 24. Lust
Tuesday the Holy Cross mail carrier report
ed to the federal officials at Nulato that he
had found Cowan 50 miles below Kaltag,
with a broken leg and in a helpless condi
tion. The deputy marshal immediately
wired to Fairbanks for instructions, and by
order of Judge Fuller, started out to n~
•ust the injured man. Although Cowna is
in a weak and exhausted state, it is ex
pected that he will recover.
