APRIL FOOLS DAY
April Fools Day. 1933, should go down in history as
a paradox—the greatest aggregation of fools the nation
has ever assembled and the greatest disillusionment o
the idea that honor and statesmanship had been eradi
cated from the body politic. #

up the empty purse and placing sometning substantial;

IN PLICER MOTES
mm MINING LOWS
Among the bills introduced by
Delegate Dimond is House Resolu
tion 3843, “To repeal an Act of
Congress entitled ‘An act to modify
and amend the mining laws in
their application to the Territory of
Alaska, and for other purposes,’
approved August 1, 1912.”
“Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con
gress assembled, that the Act of
Congress entitled ‘an Act to modify
and amend the mining laws in
their application to the Territory
of Alaska, and for other purposes’
(37 Stat. L. 242-243), approved Au
gust 1, 1912, be, and the same is
hereby repealed.
“That the general mining laws
of the United States so far as they
are applicable to placer mining
claims are hereby extended to and
declared to be in full force and ef
fect in the Territory of Alaska:
Provided that nothing herein shall
be held to change or affect the
rights acquired by locators or
owners of placer mining claims
heretofore located in said Terri
tory under the act herein re-;
pealed.” j
The l$w sought to be repealed
ncludes Secs. 129a to 130. The
:orce of the statute lies in Sec. 129a
vhich says:
“That no association placer min- :
ng claim shall hereafter be locat
ed in Alaska in excess of 40 acres,
ind on every placer mining claim 1
hereafter located in Alaska, and
antil a patent has been issued
herefor, not less than $100 worth ■
if labor shall be performed or im- ;
orovements made during each
^ear, including the year of loca
don^for each and every 20 acres
ir excess fraction thereof.”
Since the repealing resolution is
lot followed by one reinstating the
>ld-time system of what is known
is “association locations,” i. e., 150;;
icres by one individual or associa- (
ion of individuals, it would leave
Uaska practically without any '
jlacer mining statutes, since the J
itatute referred to (that of August ‘
., 1912) is contained in the U. S. :
’ode as well as that of Alaska,
ind there are no acts in conflict
vith it.
A search of the statutes fails to
eveal any mining laws relating to
Uaska which would serve as a
Tuide to the locator if this repeal
ng resolution is adopted by Con
gress.
The resolution offered by Dele
gate Dimond is in line with the ac
ion of the last session of the Leg
slature, which repealed the Law
Df August 1, 1912, and is merely
confirmatory of this action.
Considerable conffusion has been
created by this legislation in that
places miners have been operating
jnder the August 1, 1912 law.
In all likelihood the present ses
;ion of the Legislature contemplat
iion of the Legislature con tern
alates the enactment of a new j
placer law,but to date no infor-j

If Congress should repeal the
law as asked in Mr. Dimond’s
resolution and the Teritorial Leg
islature failed to have a statute to
take its place, the entire question
of placer rights would fall back
under the United States statutes
of 1870 which have been held to be
sound law where no amenda
tory acts have been passed affecting
it. This law permits the staking
of as many claims as one desires
without any restrictions, and the
performance of the usual $100
worth of assessment work on each
20-acre claim annually.

NOT THROUGH
FLORENCE, Ariz., April 1, —
Steadfast in loyalty, the Reverend
ind Mrs. Harvey K. McKinnell of
Darlington, Ind., today persisted
in the hope that their daughter,
Winnie Ruth Judd, would yet es
cape the noose.
“We’re not through fighting.
Four friends are still with you.
and they will fight harder than
ever. I have always thought, Ruth,
that you will never hang, and I
still believe it,” the aged minister
;o!d Mrs. Judd, his daughter.
“It does'nt seem possible, but if
that, is God’s will, it will have to
be,” the minister faltered.

Sunday Dinner menu at Cameron’s
Cafe.
