CASEY -SHATTUCK
 ADDITIONS TITLE

To Whom It May COncern:-
 The Casey-Shattuck addition to the town of Juneau is platted upon the pat ents issued for the Shattuck-Farnum Placer, known as U. $. Survey. No. 5SO except small portion of Blocks 223 220 and 221 in the Casey-Shattuck plat which are based upon a deed from the Alaska Electric Light x Power com paGy for that portion of U. s. patent ed ground known as Lot II of Survcey No. 574. All of this property has been patented for a number of years
 Inquiry has been made of me as to whether the ground embraced in the Shattuck-Farnum entry 5S0 is subject any attack whatever and have care fully examined the same. feel no hesitancy in expressing the opinion that the title is a fee simple title and is unimpeachable.
 Section 124, Compiled Laws of the Territory of Alaska of 1913, being a transcript of the Act of Congress of March 3, 1891, provides as follows:
 Suits to vacate and annul patents hereafter issued shall only be brought within six years after the date of the issuance of such patents"
 By this Act the Government of the United States bound itself not to at- tack any patent nor to permit any at tack to be made upon a United States patent except within years after its issuance. The Shattuck-Farnum patent was signed by the President on the 30th day of June, 1904, and nine years have elapsed since the issuance of the same.
 For the reasons above stated, l am of the opinion that the title to said property acquired from the Govern ment of the United States is perfect.
