AMENDMENT TO
ALASKA MINING
LAW IS PROPOSED
CASH PAYMENT OR EQUIVALENT
LABOR FAVORED IN LIEU OF
ASSESSMENT
Tfce House of Representatives has
favorably reported a bill amending
the Federal statute covering assess
ment work in the Territory by giving
owners of placer mining claims option
on three (methods of doing such as
sessment. A copy of the measure has
been received by C. H. Flory, ex-offi
cio Commissioner in Alaska for the
Department of Agriculture, at Juneau.
Originally, as introduced, the bill
covered all claims, both placer and
lode. The Committee on Mines and
Mining reported it favorably with lode
mines eliminated from the provisions.
It is provided that claim owners may,
in lieu of doing the work, pay $100
into the "Alaska Fund” or do $100
worth of road work under the direc
tion of the Alaska Road Commission.
May Pay Cash
The text of the bill said: "Section 1
of ‘An act to amend the laws govern
ing labor or improvements upon min
ing claims in Alaska,’ approved March
2, 1907, be, and it hereby is, amended
thereto the following proviso:
“Provided, that in lieu of the labor
or improvements to be made during
each year under existing laws on or
for the benefit of placer mining claims
in Alaska, the owner therof may, if
he so elects, pay the amount of said
assessment work into the ‘Alaska
Fund,’ created by Section 1 of ‘an act
to provide for the construction and
maintenance of roads, the establish
ment and maintenance of schools, and
the care and support of insane per
sons in the Territory of Alaska, and
for other purposes,’ approved January
27, 1905, and amended May 14, 1906.
“Provided further, that all such mo
neys so paid shall be available for the
construction and maintenance of roads
bridges and trails within the Terri
tory of Alaska under the same con
ditions as the portion of the ‘Alaska
i
Fund’ now authorized by law for that
purpose;
"Provided further, that all such mo
nies collected in any mining and re
I cording precinct shall, so far as prac
ticable, considering natural topogra
phic features, be expended within the
limits of said mining and recording
precinct;
Do Road Work
"Provided further, that in lieu of
paying the amount of said assessment
work into the ‘Alaska Fund,’ the own
er may, if he so elects, perform, un
d^r the direction of the Board of Road
Commissioners for Alaska, an equival
ent amount of labor upon a regularly
laid out 'route in his mining and re
cording precinct.”
The owner of the claims so repre
sented can then file with the record
er receipts showing the payment of
cash or equivalent labor instead of
the usual affivdavit of performance
of assessment work upon the claims.
