say is poor transportation facilities.
Great obligation rests on the United
roads for the relief of the miners
there. The action of the Canadian
government in the region of the

the most important of which is that
a certain amount of assessment work
be required on each mining claim

ommends an increase yearly of the
amount of assessment work required
and that no person be allowed TO
hold more than one mining claim on
the same creek except by purchase.
The report recommends that an ad

for. and says that it is the general
opinion of all classes that Alaska
is a territory and should have a del
egate to congress, but no recommen

that the whites in Alaska do not
