The following letter has been re. ceived by Clerk Day. of the local land oflf1ice. from Commissioner Den nett, in reply to a query sent by him as to whether or not the order holding up patents for homesteads and mineral lands in Alaska. until they could be classified by the Unit ed States geological survey. applied to Fairbanks The letter. it will be seen. indicates that there will be no delay in regard To the Fairbanks patents applied for, for the reason that Fairbanks quadrangle has al ready been classified
 "Departmen Of the Interior. General
 Land Office. Washington. June 2o. Register and Receiver, Fairbanks, Al
 aska
 Sirs - Referring to your telegram of June lC. 1911. as follows:
 Local papers say Chief Chris jensen Seattle reports homestead and mineral patents delayed for geologi- cal survey to classify lands. That will absolutely stop business here. Is It tollttt IldS all DiDhS uudu- ransle been claSSited?'
 l have to advise you that owing to the recent withdrawals in Alaska of public lands, known to contain deposits of oil and coal. il is ne cesSary To have an investigation made in connection with az ricultural and mineral entries prior to withdrawals for the purpose of determining wheth- CT the lands embraced therein are actually valuable fer coal or oil. In each case the director of the United States geological survey is called up on to furnish such data as is shown by the records of his office relative to this matter, and if his reports show that the land involved is not in fact valuable for the deposits of coal or petroleum contained therein, the case is Clearlisted.
 l will state for your information that the geological survey advises that while the information obtained through investigation in connection with the Fairbanks quadrangle has not been published. said bureau is in q position 1p immediately report on all cases involving lands in said quadrangle. It is thought, therefore that there will be no material delay in the adjudication of cases on ac- count of the necessity of obtaining information as to the coal and pe troleum deposits.
 Very respectfully.

 Commissioner

RIFLES ID ARRIVE
 BY AUC. 1

From correspondence which has been received by officers of the Tan ana Rifle club it appears altogether likely that the rifles ordered from the government arsenal Outside will arrive here by the first of the month at the latest, and in that case the regular shoots will be commenced in a very few days later.
 It is planned to hold clearing bee on the range next Sunday, the members to meet at the office of St George & Cathcart at 10 a. m, from which point they will proceed in body to the range and conduct an onslaught on the brush on the range. It is believed that if most of the members turn out the greater part of the work of clearing can be finished during the course of the morning. The range has already been surveyed and marked out as far back as the 6O0-yard mound and it is pronounced by all who have seen it to be a very satisfactory site. As soon as the brushing is done the target pit and mounds will be con- stlucted, the work being rushed as it is desired that there shall be no delay in getting down to practice as soon as the rifles arrive.

 My Dear Sir - am in receipt uf your letter of May G. enclosing 4 copy of resolution passed by the town council urging Govern r Clark tJ accept the site and erect the detention hospital for the iu- sane in the town uf Fairbanks. I'm media'ely upon receipt of your l,t- ter wrote the attorncy-general sending him a copy of the resolution and urging him to give the matter attention. l had formerly talked with him pers pnally about it when l received a letter from Judge Over field about Ihe matter am just in receipt of a letter from th. artor- ney-general. q copy of which l send you herewith He sent me q copy Of his letter to the secretary of the interior and l send you a copy of that letter also. The attainey-ge neral expressed the opinion to me that there was no legal obstacle To carry ing out the purpose of the act l. is almost an everyday occurrence. ill the administrati. n of the telegraph service as well as in the department of justice. for the president to re serve It or lois in some town in Alaska 10 which the individual claimant has abandoned his squat ter right, for government purposes. II has been done iG every town in Alaska. including Fairbanks, and was expected 'u be done in the matter 0i the location of the detention hospital. IL would have been considered silly for the United States to appropriate money out of it's treasury to buy it's own land ill Alaska for United States hospital Nobody but Governor Clark and Mr John Rustgard would have ever thought of such a foolish proposition. and they would not have thought of il except for the fact that they wished to make the law a failure suggest that Governor Clark. Judge Ovcrfield and Marshal Love ought 10 meet ill Fairbanks and attend to this matter. When will Judge Overfield be in the ldifarod? If there is any other effort made to prevent the fair and prompt enforce ment of this law l wish you would notify me by telegraph However, | shall probably leave for Fairbanks in about ten days.

 AS these letters apparently cleared the way for the early construction Of the hospital committee of the council was appointed to wait on Marshal Love to get his approval of the site on CuShman street. This site Marshal Love had at first ap- proved, in conjunction with Judge Overfield, but he later withdrew his approval, when wired by the attor- ney-general, and asserted that he preferred to have the hospital built on the site of the Fairbanks bank building, in proximity to the jail. In case this site could not be purchased, he said, he would approve of the Cushman street site. As it is quite certain that before an appropria tion could be made by congress for the purchase of the bank site it would be too late to build the hOSpi tai this year the councilmen hoped 10 be able to prevail Cn the marshal 10 give his approval to thO Cush man street site, so that the building could be progressed with at once and the inhumane treatment of the insane patients put stop to as
