SEWAKP, \L\sk\. SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1915.
The text of the new mining law carries with its reading a most favorabli
impression. If the law is passed as it appears in the printed copy the ter
ritorial legislators deserve the greatest credit for producing a bill which in
the simplest way possible eliminates all the objectionable or nearly all the
objectionable, clauses contained in the hill passed bv the first legislature.
The old system has been reverted to in the matter of staking placer ground.
It will not be necessary for a poor prospector in future to perform a lot of
work before locating ground and the power of attorney curse is apparently
lifted by limiting the number of claims that can be staked and by compelling
the recording of powers of attorney, before the claims are staked under such
power, in the recording district in which the claims are to be located. The
bill may be described as short and sweet and if the bill as passed is really
what it looks to be the members of the legislature deserve the thanks of
every miner in Alaska, and of every other man for the matter of that.
“Seward the beautiful" ought to be made a most useful phrase just now
when thousands of people are beginning to come out from the east and visit
San Francisco and other western places while they are cut off from travel
in Europe. Is there not some way bv which the loveliness of this district can
he brought home to the minds of the countless tourists who are now seeking
new avenues of escape from the great eastern cities?
With Commissioner Riggs and the superintendant of construction going
to Fairbanks it looks very much as though the work of construction will also
begin at the end of the line this year. This will certainly he a godsend to the
interior. It shows that the government is not by any means going to con
fine operations to Ship, or Woodrow, creek this year and that we may look
forward to work right here at Seward also. If Chairman Wes makes his
headquarters at Seward as has been stated we may expect the lion's share
of the good resulting from actual construction work.
