COL REEL
GETS TITLE TO
JUNEAU — Wreathed in smiles
were the faces of Clyde B. Walker
and F. A. Boyle, register and receiv
er respectively of the Juneau division
of the general land office, when they
were informed that the honorable sec
retary of the interior, in reviewing
the decision of the honorable com
mission of the general land office,
which decision refersed the decision
given by Messrs. Walker and Boyle
holding that Capt. Harry E. Revcll
was entitled to receive a patent to at
least 35 acres of the 320 he claimed
as a homestead, situate adjacent to
the town of Seward.
Capt. Harry E. Revell, the first set
tler on Resurrection bay, and well
known in Alaska, took up a home
stead of 320 acres in the year 1903.
Subsequently, he applied for patent
thereto. Objection was made to his
entry, fraud being alleged.
The local land officials heard the
case and while they were satisfied that
the allegation of fraud probably had
some merit, it was their opinion that
it applied, if at all, to only 285 acres
of the tract, leaving 35 acres which
Revell should receive title to and so
held.
The decision of the Juneau land of
fice was reviewed by the commis
sioner of the general land office at
Washington, by whom the ruling of
the local land office was reversed,
the commissioner holding that if
fraud entered into the transaction it
would be applicate to the entire tract
and that the applicant should not re
ceive title to any portion thereof.
From this decision of the commis
sioner the matter was carried to the
secretary of the interior, and in his
review of the case he overruled the
opinion of the Commissioner and sus
tained the decision of the Juneau land
office. And while the matter was
pending before the secretary of the
interior a further showing was al
lowed to be made by the applicant,
which resulted in Revelle being
awarded a patent to the entire home
stead of 320 acres.
The decision of the secretary of the
interior in reversing the ruling of
the commissioner of the general land
office and sustaining the holding of
the Juneau land office was very grat
ifying to the local officials and, of
course, doubly so to the old-time and
highly respected settler, Harry E.
Revel 1.

Alaska holds more promise for the
future than any mining country in
the world, according to George Ar
rons, general manager of the Fair
banks Gold Mining company, who
has just returned from the north.
He is en route to his home in Lon
don and is at the New Washington,
says the Seattle Times.
“I have been in the mining game
since my youth,” said Arrons yes
terday, “and I have operated in Aus
tralia, South Africa, Russia and Al
aska. I know of no country richer
in mineral wealth than the Alaskan
territory.
“Probably the best thing that has
ever happened to the country was
the prohibition measure just passed
by the people there.
“The annual appropriation of $500,
000 for road building is in no way
sufficient for the needs of our coun
try. The government engineers in
charge of this work are competent
and they certainly give the north
the worth of a half million, but as
1 said, it is not enough.”
Arrons is a director in the com
pany which he represents and has
been spending his summers on the
property near Fairbanks for the la--t
five years. He will leave Sunday
for New York and later will sail for
Liverpool.
