ME TO MINING
CLAIMS DENIED
Department of Interior Has Sustain
ed the Ruling of Juneau Land
Office In Valdez Case.
The Secretary of the Interior has
sustained the officers of the Juueau
land office In their decision involv
ing the application of Mrs. Ida May
F. lies of Valdez, fOr a patent to the
Huckleberry and Soloman Falls pla
cer Claims, and the Ida May lode
claim, situated on Soloman river.
The Juneau land office rejected the
application as to all three claims be
cause a valid discovery had not been
made and also that five hundred dol
lars worth of improvements had not
been placed on the Huckleberry and
Solomon Falls placer claims as re
quired by law.
A fourth charge had , been made
that the land had been taken up for
water power site purposes. The Ju
neau officers had no decision as to
the latter point. The Interior de
partment has returned the papers in
the case to Juneau and Mrs. lies will
be allowed to make a new application
if she so desires.
The land involved carries the pow
er plants of both the lies. Electric
Power coihpany the Alaska Water,
Light, & Telephone company. The
only title to the land now is that of
possession under squatter’s rights.
NOT REQUIRED
Collector of Revenue Williams Ruled
that Marriage Certificates Do
Not Require Stamps.
No war revenue stamps are re
quired to be affixed to marriage cer
tificates and those who feared that
they might not be legally married
are assured that they are not likely
to be troubled by Uncle Sam. The
story that revenue stamps must be
affixed to marriage certificates in or
der to make them legal was first pub
lished iq, the Ep worth Herald, and
was copied by newspapers through
out the country.
According to a ruling of the Sec
retary of Alaska no revenue stamp
is required on a marriage certificate.
This ruling was secured last June
from Collector of Internal Revenue
Williams of Tacoma. He stated that
certificates did not require any reve
nue stamp, but if a certificate was
issued at the request of either of the
contracting parties for their own pri
vate use, this would require a ten
cent stamp. There has been no
cfiange in this ruling so far as
known.
