THE ALASKA MINING LAW
LNalleZ PrnsnectOrl

Much interest has been aroused by Judge Browns decision in the Callaghan- Thompson case. declaring a claim forfeited because of failure to file an affidavit of labor not later than March 31 of the fol lowing year. The decision was based on the act of the territorial legislature of 1913. The provision reads as follows:
 Such affidavit shall be filed with the precinct recorder not more than ninety days after thp close Of the calendar year in Whictl the work was done or improvements made. Upon failure to comply with all of the pro visions of this section such claim shall be come forfeited and open to location by oth CTS as if no location had been made"
 Judge Brown said he was reluctant to de clare a forfeiture but the law was i'm perative His only alternative was to de clare the law invalid This he was still assume that the legislators had acted know ngly, although the next legislature had re pealed the law.
 The judge might have added that the legislature that enacted this drastic for feiture provision was composed chiefly of miners It all goes to shcw that when iegls lators tinker an existing law because it is defective they should be very careful not to prescribe remedy that is worse than the dlsease The object of the drastic for feiture provision in question was to wipe out the evil of permitting men to hold nu merous claims without showing good faith n doing the annual assessment work. Re Nuiring the filing of the affidavit subjected a claimant to the risk of incurrng the pen alty of perjury, and the law doubtless ha. the effect of minimizing the "hcgglng' oI mining ground without doing real assess ment work But the forfeiture clause waa so stringent a remedy that tie legislature of 1915 repealed 1t.
 When legislative act comes before a court the judge has no choice but to up held it, though he may himself think it sn unwise or unjust law, or else declare it in valid because beyond the powers of the legislature to enact And every time he does the latter critics and professional kick CTS howl that he is usurplng legislative powers.
