Provisions Under Which Townsires
May be ACQUIRED

May be Acquired.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Acting Secre-
tary Chandler to-day approved the in
structions for securing land in Alaska
for townsite, manufacturing and trading
purposes. The instructions are based on
an Act entitled IAN Act to repeal the
timber culture laws, and for other pur-
poses," which was approved March 3,
1891.
According to the instructions. one or
more parties as corporation may secure
land in Alaska for the purpose desiu-
mated for townsite purposes. The party
or parties securing the land must pay all
expenses connected with the survey and
81 % per acre, which goes to the Govern
ment. II the land is TO be used for trad
ing or manufacturing purposes, 81 so per
acre must be paid
Owing to the great distance from here
to Alaska, and the time involved in cor
reSpondence, the United States Marshal
is given unusual power in order to facili-
tate business. He is made Surveyor
General eX-officio, and is empowered to
receive applications for lands, which are
sent to the department here, and when
acted upon they are returned. If re-
ceived 1avorably by the Land Office, the
Marshal receives from applicants the
money necessary to cover the expense of
the survey. He then appoints sur
veyor, who is placed under $1,000 bonds
The land is then surveyed, plot made
and the records sent to the Land Office
AS soon as the work is completed and the
price paid TO the Marshal, the parties gain
possession, and are not delayed by wait
ing for departmental approval.
BY this plan land can be secured within
four weeks after the application is made.
In no case, however, will any party or
association be able to get possession of
over 640 acres.
The following reservation is made:
"None of the provisions of the 1ast two
proceeding sections of this Act shall be SO
construed as to warrant the sale of any
lands not belonging to the United States
which shall contain coal or precious
metals, or any townsite, or which shall
be occupied by the United States for pub
lie purposes, or which shall be reserved
for such purposes, or to which the natives
of Alaska have prior rights by virtue OF
actual occupation, or which shall be Sc
leeted by the United States Commissioners
of Fish and Fisheries on the Islands of
Kodiak and Afognak for purposes of
establishing fish-culture stations; and all
tracts of land not exceeding $40 acres in
any one tract now occupied as missionary
stations in said District of Alaska are
hereby excepted from operation of the
last three preceding sections of this Act.
No portion of the Pribyloff groups, or,
seal islands of Alaska, shall he subject to
sale under this Act, and the United States
reserves and there shall be reserved in alb
patents issued under the provisions of,
the last two preceding sections the right
of the United States to regulate the taking
of salmon and to do all things necessary
TO protect and prevent the destruction on
salmon in all waters of lands granted,
freQuented by salmon"
