SURVEYS NOT SATISFACTORY.
Complsfnt of the Condition of Affairs
I'm Alaska.

The Alaska surveys are in an unsatis-
factory condition. The act Of March 8, 1891,
contained regulations for allowing entries
OF land In Alaska for town site trading
and manufacturing purposes, and these
were accordingly furnished to the United
States marshal. ex-ofiicio surveyor general
of the territory, for his guidance i'm properly
executing the surveys coming within the
scope of the act.
The ex-officio surveyor general has trans
mitted to the general land office seventy
three returns of surveys, including two
townships. Much delay in the examination
ana disposal of these surveys has resulted
from the failure of the marshal to comply
with the regulations and by his approval
OF defective returns made by deputy sur
veyorS
Some of these irregularities were of n
serious nature and many of them required
that the field notes and plats should be
returned for emendation. instructions have
on several occasions been sent to the ex-
officio surveyor general pointing out irregl-
larltleS and attempts made to enlighten
MIN as to the requirements of the gem
eral land office. II is thought by Commits
sloner l.amoreaux that better results will
be obtained in the future. The marshal
