Douglas Island news., 1903-03-25

The treasury department has decided to forbid officers of the revenue cutter service to trade with natives and other persons. at places visited by vessels of the service. The order will apply par ticularly, of course, to officers on the Alaska station, where it has been GUS tomary since the establishment of the service for officers to carry small stock of trade goods on hoard ship for the purpose of exchanging them with the Indians and Esquimos for furs and other articles. Complaints have been made to the treasury department that this privilege has been abused, many officers having traded with natives as commercial proposition, disposing of the furs and other articles at great profit after returning to the United States. The complaints have been made almost invariably by whalers cruising in the Arctic and by fur dealers in Seattle, San Francisco and other cities.

Tanana Good.
Dawson Free Lance.

Dawson Free Lance.
 Thus far the many stories which have reached Dawson concerning the Tanana country are unit in asserting that ln- dications of great wealth are general. Not one contradictory report has yet reached Dawson. Letters from reliable prospectors have been received and without exception they agree that at last vast gold bearing district has been discovered in Alaska.
 The reports confirmed by many let ters agree that thus far five good sized creeks. are known to be gold bearing; that the pay streak begins at depth of eight feet from the surface, the pay streak, extending down another eight feet and that it is an average width of POO feet; that on the five creeks not a blank has yet been struck; that the pay goes all the way from 10 to 9 cents to the pan, the gold being very fine.
 During the past two weeks from 400 to 600 people have started to the new district from Dawson, and should re- ports not vary the exodus during the month+of March will be very large. All who have thus far gone have taken sub stantial outfits, but not all of them sufficient to last until navigation opens.
 While reports all agree that the Tan ana is a very rich country, there is a great variance of opinion as to the route which should be taken to reach there. Merchants and business men of both Eagle and Circle advise against the route up the Fortymile river and United States army officials agree with them. Notwithstanding these cautious, however, the majority have taken the Fortymile route, aud gentleman who came out that way from Panama, ar rivinga few days ago, declares it to be as fine winter trail as he ever travelled. He met John Bonnifield and Frank Chambers on his way out and they were within l3 miles of their destination. Bonnifield and Chambers were the first to start from Dawson and on portion of the Fortymile route they broke their own trail.
 From the news at hand there can be but cue opinion formed or conclusion reached and that is that Tanana is the greatest discovery iu the Yukon basin since the fame of the Klondike was heralded to the four corners of the earth.

The Alaska homestead act, signed by the president just before adjournment of congress, provides that 'every per son qualified to mako a homestead entry of public lands of the United States, who has settled upon, or who shall hereafter settle upon public lands in Alaska, whether surveyed or unsur- veyed, with the intention of claiming the same under the homestead law, shall be entitled to enter a maximum of 320 acres, if unsdrveyed. Land that is settled upon must be located in rec tangular form, not more than one mile long, and located by north and south lines run according to true meridian locations to be marked by corner mon. uments, and the description of the land thus located shall be filed in the record ing district in which it is situated with in 90 days. If the public surveys are not extended over land located after five years, patent is to issue upon proof of citizenship, residence, i'm provements and cultivation, as requir- ed under the several homestead laws, no fees to be paid except the ordinary office fees for registers and receivers. No title is to be obtained under this law to mineral or coal lands. The right of bomesteaders to transfer any part of the homestead is limited to five acres for church, cemetery or school purposes and 100 feet on each side of the center line for right of way for "a railroad. All contracts made by the settler prior to the receipt of the pat ent from the government for convey ances of land homesteaded by him ex- cept for the purposes named are declar- ed null and void."
 The act further provides for the To- cation by lawful script in Alaska, ex, cept that issued as indemnity, for land grants outside the territory, with the proviso that no more than 160 acres shall be entered in any single body by such script in lieu of selection or sol diers' addition homestead. The act further provides that no location of script selection or right along any navi- gable or other waters shall be made within 80 rods of any other location.
 There is nothing in the act to be con- strued as to authorizing enteries to be made or title to be acquired to the shore of any navigable waters in the territory. Homesteaders are allowed communication privilege for 160 acres, one-half the maximum homestead, upon payment of s1.25 per acre there for after IA months residence and i'm proyement and cultivation.
 All entries and locations are subject to the rules and regulations prescribed.
