ALASKA LAND LAWS
ALL MISUNDERSTANDING SET AT
REST BY AN OFFICIAL
DECLARATION.
ALL DUE TO GOLD BOOM.
RAIN OF INQUIRIES POURED IN ON
THE INTERIOR DEPART
MENT.
COMMISSIONER Hermann EXPLAINS
Mineral Claims May BE Taken Up,
but the General Land Laws Are
Not Effective.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-The misun-
derstandings and contentious regarding
the laws that are applicable to Alaska,
50 far as land claims are concerned,
were set at rest today by a statement
made by Commissioner Hermann, Of
the general land office. Many inquiries
on this question have come to the in
terror department and numerous ap-
plicatiOnS have been made for copies
OF the public land laws which, however,
do not apply to Alaska. All this is
due to the gold boom. Commissioner
Hermann says there is no longer any
question about the laws which extend
over Alaska and these are applicable:
The mineral laws of the United States
The tOwnSite laws, which provide for the
incorporation of townships and the acquire
ment of title thereto from the United States
government to townSite trustees.
The law providing for trade and manufac-
lures, giving each qualified person 100 acres
OF land in a square and compact form.
The coal land regulations are distinct
from the mineral regulations or laws,
and the jurisdiction OF neither coal laws
nor public land laws extends to Alaska,
the territory being expressly excluded
by the laws themselves from their
operation. The act approved May IL,
1884, providing for civil government or
Alaska, has this language as to mines
and mining privileges:
The laws of the United States relating to
mining claims and rights incidental thereto
shall. on and after the passage OF TINS act,
be in full force and effect in said district OF
Alaska subject to such regulations as may
be made by the secretary Of the interior ana
approved by the president and parties VINO
have located mines or mining privileges there
on. under the United States laws applicable to
the public domain, have occupied or improved
or exercised acts of ownership over such
claims shall not be disturbed therein but
shall be allowed to perfect title by payments
provided for.
There is still more general authority.
Without the special authority, the act
of July IA. 1866, says:
All valuable mineral deposits in lands be-
longing ia the United States both surveyed
and unsurveyed are hereby declared to be
free and open to exploration and purchase.
and lands in which these are found to occu-
patton and purchase by citizens of the United
intention to become such, under the rules
prescribed by law, and according to local Gus
toms or rules of miners in the several mining
districts. so far the same are applicable
and not inconsistent with the laws of the
United States.
The patenting of mineral lands in
Alaska is not a new thing, for that
work has been going on as the cases
have come in from time to time since
1884.

Making a Hit.

The manager of a theatrical company in
Chicago, who has evidently heard of this
town and read of the adventures of vari-
Gus combinations visiting us, writes to in
quire just what sort of play will take best
with our people. We take pleasure in an
swering him that be will DO sure to make
a hit and a barrel of money with 1.-The
Merchant of Venice It must not be put
on as in the east, however Venice and
the merchant will be all o. K. for about
ten minutes. Then there should be five
minutes of clog dancing and singing. Aft
er that more Venice. Then a fight with
Indians or the rescue of a beautiful maid
en- from bloody pirate. Don't stick too
close to Venice. Our people want a mix
ture. There will be no objection to ring
ing in a scene from "JTncle Toms Cabin"
in one of the acts, nor the gravedigging
scene in Hamlet in another, but there
must be a dance or an abduction between
them. Such managers as have taken our
fatherly advice regarding this matter have
pleased our people and gone away with
hat full of money, while those who havo
been stiff necked have left town on foot or
died of starvation in the woods.

In returning from Red Earth valley the
other afternoon we were stopped at Buck
shot creek by an ugly faced critter who
commanded US to she'll out. As he had
the drop on us, we handed over our per-
sonal effects with promptness and dispatch.
He was about to ride away when we pro-
posed a game of poker, and the idea struck
him favorably. The two of US sat down
on the grass and started in, and at the end
of 40 minutes we had won back our valu
ables and had him dead broke. On the last
. hand out we held only pair of kings, and
we knew from the run Of the cards that
he had a full house with ace high, and yet
we bluffed him out of his horse and guns.
He was a mean looking cuss, and he had
no scruples about robbing us, but he was
man of his word. He made no kick
about being cleaned out, and there was
something like tear in his eye as he asked
us if we knew where he could strike job
at a dollar day. We don't see how he
can get another start in the highway rob-
berry business this fall, and we have con-
siderable hopes that being cleaned out will
lead to his reformation and salvation.
