RESOLVED THAT ALI. COAL AND
OIL LEASING LAWS; PLACER
GROUND ACT, REPEALED
Heartily endorsing the resolution
forwarded to them by the Cordova
Chamber of Commf.ce, the local
civic organization at its recent reg
ular weekly meeting, are solidly be
hind the following resoultion which
favors the leasing laws on coal anc.
oil land and the placer law act be

i
RESOLUTION
i Adopted by the Cordova. A’aska,!
i Chamber of Commerce at its regu
,lar meeting, December 7, 1923.
I Whereas—The population of the
Territory of Alaska, has steadily de
lined in numbers for the past 15
years and is continuing so to de
cline; and,
Whereas—with the decrease in;
nopulation the material welfare of j
the inhabitants of the Territory
has seen a corresponding decline
land,
i Whereas—it is the belief of the c
Cordova, Alaska Chamber of Com- |r
merce that the loss of population is j
!due in a great measure to the re-j
istrictions placed on the disposal of :
oil lands, and placer ground thru j
l Executive Order of November 3,
11910, by which all lands containing
petroleum in the Territory of Alas- 1
ka were withdrawn from entry; the
i subsequent Act of February 25, 1020,
(41 Stat. 437). known as the miner- j
al leasing Act; the Act of October
120, 1914, (38 Stat. 741); the Act of
March 4, 1921, (41 Stat. 1383); and
'the Ac+ of March 8, 1922, (41 Stat.
415), by which last three named j
laws the coal lands of Alaska were
Dlacpd under a leasing system, and
thru the Act of August 1, 1912, (37
Stat. 242), by which association
placer claims were abolished and
prospectors were limited in the
amount of ground which could be
staked each month; and
Wreheas—the effect of the with
drawal of the oil lands, and the
i passage of the leasing acts as to oil
;and coal lands, has been to drive
; capital out of the Territory of Alas
ka for the reason that men and
corporations desiring to develop
such properties refuse to do so un
less title can be obtained; and
Whereas—prospectors for placer
ground have disappeared from the
hills by reason of the Act of 1912. as
i there is not sufficient incentive lo
;warrant prospecting; and
Whereas—it is the belief of the
members of this Chamber of Com
merce that the repeal of the laws
i above named, and of the lav/s and
regulations amendatory thereto,
would be followed by an immediate ,
resumption of activity in mining,
prospecting, and exploration for oil;
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved—that it is for the great
est good of the Territory of Alaska,
|and it is absolutely necessary to its:
development, that all leasing laws
relating to oil or coal lands, and the ;
Acts of Congress of 1912 relating to
placer ground, be repealed, and that
I the Territory of Alaska be again
placed under the former laws relat
ing to the acquisition of Public
Lands, for mining use under which
| the western part of the United |
States has been developed and;
(made populous and prosperous.
