LEGIsIATURE MUST IN-

The March bulletin Of the AmeH- can Mining congress has this to say on the Alaska situation:
 The bin referred Co iu the last Bulletin, providing for appeals form the decision of the Interior Depart mcnt to the courts upon an appli- cations for patent, under locations rr.C Go 1906. met the favorable consideration of the committees Of both the Senate and the House, but failed with the ending of the Sixty-second Congress. At this time 1t is understood that the 8, cclaI session of the Sixty-third Congress win give It's whole attcu- tion to the various tariff bills and it is not probable that the Alaskan question win receive legislative consideration. It is hoped that the new territorial legislature of Alas ku. now in session at Juneau, will remove the doubt as to what teder- al legislation is needed for Alaska, by officially determining this ques- uon, and that the National Cong ress will accept the policy thus out lined as being representative Of the wishes Of the majority Of Alaskans. Most Of the failures Of the past can be directly credited to disagree mnt on the part Of those repres- entiug Alaska as to what legisla- ton would be most desirable.
