In the Fairbanks district the great bulk of locations nowadays are the embryo hard rock mines as distin- guished from the locations of the earlier years of the camp, when everything was placer and the quartz stalker crank and a curiosity. The records of the Fairbanks Abstract company, which have beer brought up to date, show that 2,000 quartz locations have been made since the first one in 1903, and that 3 or 4 quartz claims are located now to every placer location, showing how the mining activity of the camp is changing.

A. H. Wheatley, one of the off, cers of the Alaska Northern Railway Company, is here from Seward and will appear before the grand jury in connection with an alleged infrac- tion of the license law by his com pany. The original company, the Alaska Central, was granted immuni- ty for period of five years, by special act of Congress, from the fed eral tax of s100 per mile per annum on its system, and the wharfage tax of ten cents per ton. The Alaska Northern Railway company, success sor in interest to the Alaska Central Railway company, goes on the theory that this immunity extends to it. On the other hand, the govern ment allges that the special act of congress had to do with the Alaska Central Railway company alone; that the Alaska Northern Railway com pany can claim no immunity under it, and that the latter company has failed and refused to pay the license tax on the road and the wharf.
 If the contention of the govern ment is correct, the Alaska Northern would be indebted to the govern ment for three years license on 72 miles of operated railroad, which with interest amunts to about s24,- 900. MT. Wheatley hopes to satisfy the grand jury that there was no in- tentional violation of the law by any of the officers of the company, and that they are not subject to the tax.
