Especially When Valuable Mineral
and Other Deposits Are Discovered.
A POTENT FACTOR In DISPUTED TITLES
Part Played by the Woodmen's
Lore Of Saps and Notches.
THE AGE OF TR e E S

Written for The Evening Star.
host Of big lawsuits, involving the
ownership of large tracts of land under
laid with coal, gas, oil and valuable min
erals, worth millions upon millions Of dol
lars, are now pending before the courts in
many states of the Union, and the most
potent agency that will be employed for
their equitable determination Is one of ma
lures curious little secrets, which is I'M
folded by the modest forestry lore OF 'saps"
and "notches." When lands that have lain
une laimed or neglected and undeveloped are
discovered to be rich in salable deposits of
any kind there is always a great scramble
on the part of wide-awake prospectors-
first, to find out who owns them, or if any
body does, and then to get them.
This has been particularly the case Of
late witt oil and gas lands and with iron
and other mineral properties In Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana. Maryland and the
Virginias, and also in Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama. as well the far western
states. The principal resource in deternin-
ing their ownership is the record Of old
surveys. In contests where vast interests
are at stake, however. these old surveys
frequently prove unsatisfactory and incon-
elusive in the face of Ingenious paper claims
and counter-elaims, and in all such exigen-
cies the one thing that plays the deciding
part Is the lore of "saps'' and "notches,"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-10-27

and with the utmost nicely the precise
number of years that have elapsed since
the scar was inflicted. Hence, by running
back that number of years from the date
of the examination, one can tx beyond per-
adventure the very year, and. in fact. the
season Of the year, in which the notch was
cut.
The practical value of this is readily ap-
parent. On agricultural mineral and tim
Der lands trees are employed almost ex-
ciusively In fixing boundary lines and cor
ners and 1t Is on this account that a knowl-
edge OF surveyors woodcraft ia calculating
time and dates by "saps'' and "notches''
has become so invaluable in determining
the history OF disputed surveys. Trees have
been awaited of In this country to mark the
metes and bounds of land from aboriginal
times. and indeed trees in connection with
stone heaps, mounds and other artificial
monuments, have always constituted the
chief landmarks of every country in every
age.
Everybody who has ever read the deed of
a farm, or other tract of land outside n
city, viii remember that the measures and
distances are described something after this
fashion,: So many rods or perches north to
an oak; thence so many perches west to a
hickory; thence to a beech, walnut, ash
or pine. and 50 on. Corners. when marked
by trees. are usually indicated by three
small notches cut into the sides of the tree
In the directions in which the lines diverge.
Trees standing exactly on these lines. called
'line trees" are marked either with two
notches on each side In the direction of the
line. or with two notches and a blaze" be-
tween them-the "blaze" being simply q
chip cut out Of the bark, extending to the
edge Of the fresh wood. Trees standing
close to the Line. say within a couple of feet
of Ii. but not on 1T, are marked on each
side by a blaze to signify their approx
mate neighborhood to the line and are
known as sight trees"

river, Forty Mile creek, Porcupine river
and the frozen ocean. The Canadians, I'M
der Prof. King, chief astronomer for the
dominion's interior department will here
after make their surveys undisturbed by
representatives of the United States. When
the line Is finally fixed permanent monu-
ments will be erected at its intersections
with all the leading streams, inlets, thor
oughfares and trails, so that neither coun-
try need be excused for trespassing on the
others ground.
During the next session Of Congress, ac-
cording TO late reports from those best
versed in territorial legislation, a move
will be made by number of Alaskan en-
thusiaSts to establish a regular territorial
FORM OF government in Alaska, and to give
her delegate in Congress. Although she
has been under the chaperonage Of the
stars and stripes for going on thirty years
she has yet the same district government
erected in the first years of our ownership.
This consists of a governor and a district
court, governing according to the laws used
in Oregon before that state was admitted.
Cold and Patriotism.
These steps win. Of course make Alaska
a general topic Of conversation during the
next year. in which time more must be
known Of our frozen possessions than ever
before. AS compared with the condition of
affairs found during his visit two years ago,
Mr.. McGrath reports great Improvement in
every region which he has recently seen
and of which he heard accounts. What
points to the greatest future progress, he
says, IS the fact that this spring, for the
first time, the miners on their pilgrimages
to the great gold regions of the interior
brought their wives along which means
that they have come to stay and Improve
the country. The face Of a white woman
was never seen, except along the coast, I'M
til 1887, when Dutch girl fioated down
the Yukon on raft. in pursuit of a man.
In 1891 but $50 miners went into the gold
regions on Forty Mile creek but this year
there were fully ten times that number
The whole of this middle region, he reports
Is fast becoming recognized as a safe Edo
RADIO for speculation, there being scarcely
a stream flowing through 1t in which the
miners cannot find the color" He has
seen men seventy years old washing gold
along Forty Mile creek, and in evidence of
their success he heard this summer that
one newcomer had already cleared $4,000
while another found a single lump worth
500.
Alaska, however, I'm his opinion. Is much
the victim of false report. He recently read
O statement that atoms importance
was so little felt I'm the territory that the
natives were still more loyal to the name Of
the car than to their own flag. On the
other hand he has been among the natives
several times on the Fourth of July which
was celebrated by the Indians and all with
equally as much patriotism as he has ever
seen here. The Juneau Indians on this oc-
casion paint themselves in their loudest
colors and make the day hideous with their
songs and dances. Fireworks. however,
have never reached this part of the coun-
try, except in the line of gun cartridges.
