land, and is published for the infor
mation of those interested in public
lands in Alaska:
Washington. October 15, 1923.
Registers and Receivers,
r. S. Land Offices in Alaska.
Owing to the difficulties encoun
tered in the adjustment of conflict
ing claims for oil prospecting per
mits under the leasing Act of Feb
ruary 25. 1920 (41 Stat.. 437 ». for
unsurveyed lands in Alaska. Sec.
4(d) of the regulations of March 11.
1920 (47 L. D. 437). Circular No.
672 and Sec. 2(c) of Circular No.
8 4 5. approved August 12. 1922 ( 49
L. D., 24 7). are modified to make
the following requirementss:
Where Permits Have not Issued.
1. All applicants must here
after describe lands with reference
to true cardinal directions and in
cases where applications have here
tofore been made and can be con
formed to such directions without
prejudice to valid intervening claims
said applications must be amended
to conform to true cardinal direc
2. In order to permit adjust
ment of eonflicts the claims of all
conflicting applicants must be iden
tified with reference to some com
mon monument which can be defin
itely ascertained and located upon
the records and plats of this office.
These conflicting claimss fall
into two general classes: (a) Those
involving lands located in the vicin
ity of the public land surveys; (b)
those i-nvolving lands which are re
moved from such surveys.
The following regulations are
prescribed for the designation of
these lands in applications for pros
pecting permits:
(a) In all cases where cir
cumstances permit, applications for
permits for unsurveyed lands must
describe the lands applied for by
metes and bounds connecting such
descriptions with courses and dis
tances to some monument of an ap
proved public land survey.
The point of reference util
ized may be the initial monument
erected by another applicant who
has described such monument by
courses and distances with reference
to a public survey monument, pro
vided the location of said monument
has been definitely established with
reference to the public land survey.
In such cases. however, the location
of the adopted monument, with re
spect to such public land survey
monument, must be staled, or the
field notes or calculations by which
the location of the applicant’s ini
tial monument with reference to the
public survey monument was obtain
ed. must be furnished.
(b) In cases where there
are no available public land survey
monuments the applicant for permit
must describe the land by metes and
bounds designating the location of
his initial monument by courses and
distances, with reference to such
permanent monuments as will en
able this office to identify its loca
tion from its records and maps. A
plat or chart illustrating the loca
tion of said monument will aid in a
determination of its location.
3. An applicant for permit
must state, under oath, whether his
application is for lands de-scribed in
any prior application, or in any not
he posted on the ground, within six
mouths prior to the da to of filing his
application.
any prior conflicting claims for per
subsequent claim must describe the
land desired with reference to the
When' Permits Have Issued.
4. Numerous permits have
been issued for unsurveyed lands in
•rases where th»- Department could
j not determine whether conflicting
claims existed, or the extent of ap
i parent conflicts, upon the following
•‘This permit is granted up.m
th-' expr**«s condition that the per
i mittee will adjust any conflict with
! any prior applicant within six
i months from date hereof.”
| In numerous instances where
conflicts have apparently existed the
I permittees have failed t-- comply
! with this condition. Any extension
; os' time for beginning or completing
j drilling operations, granted pur.su
|unt to the Act of January 11. 1922
| (42 Stat.. 8441. does not extend the
I time for complyance with the fore
; going conditi-m and these permits
are subject to cancellation for de
; fault in this respect.
5. All permittees who have re
ceived permits upon the foregoing
conditions and are in default must,
within ninety days from receipt of
notice, submit:
(a) Their affidavits that
there are no conflicting claims ini
tiated simultaneously with, or prior
to. their initiation to a claim to a
permit, and where this office has
stated that such conflicts apparently
existed, they must furnish amended
descriptions locating the claim with
reference to the initial monuments
of the prior claimants, clearly indi
cating that such conflicts do not ex
<bl Their affidavits show
ing an adjustment of these conflicts
or such effort as was made to pro
cure one. which must be accompani
ed with such amended descriptions
with reference ro the initial monu
ments of the prior conflicting claim
ants as will enable this office to
make such final adjudication of
rights as the facts may warrant.
(o) Tn the case of conflict
ing claims simultaneously initiated
the claimants must furnish a de
scription with reference to a public
survey monument if possible, but if
no such monument is available the
1 parties must furnish amended des
criptions with reference to such a
! common monument.
| 6. Failure or the permittee to
comply with the requirements of the
| preceding section shall constitute
' proper grounds for cancellation of
their permits without further notice
from this office.
7. You will examine all appll
! cations for prospecting permits and
| require compliance with sections 1
land 2 hereof, within ninety days
| from notice, in cases where such ap
plications do -not comply therewith.
; transmitting said applications in due
course with a report a« to the action
taken. These regulations will be
given the widest publicity possible
without cost to the Government.
Very respectfully.
