THE ALASKA PIONEER

CBy Mrs. Esther BIrdsall Darling) Some time when the North has it's Epics, and its hidden pages un- fold Records Of Argonauts seeking, ever, their Pieces of Gold, Theren be tales of adventure and daring, tales full Of struggle and strife, That break through the crust of the surface-that deal with the bed rock of life. And these stories will rank with the greatest; for, waiting that magi- cal pen, Is an Empire of untold riches-de- veloped by unknown men; Men who are unsung Heroes, who have hewn and have blazed a trail That Death no longer may claim full toll when the luckless, faltering, fail. There are men who have shot the Rapids and have sealed the mountain peak; Cut inch by inch through an icy pass to give Of their strength to the weak; Who have staggered with heat in summer, who have frozen in winters snow; Who have faced the menace Of breast high drift and Of trcacherous overflow. Who have driven their foot-sore hus- kies, patient yet wild-wolf wise, Straight to the end Of the trackless waste where a haven of safety lies. And of such are the true Alaskans- the men who have fared them forth To make a state of a Wilderness-to conquer the untrod North. And the women who strove beside them. beside them may ever claim A place on the Roll of Honor, in Alas ka's Hall of Fame. And l think when the trail is ending for each weary Pioneer His Hardships will count as Virtues when he crosses the Last From tier.

CLAIM SHAKERS
 CAN NOT RECORD
Placer Ground on Cinema Creek Be- heved to be Rich, is Reserved
 for Townsite Purposes

According Go a statement by a local land office official. mining claims cannot be located at Cinema, Che scene or the latest reported strike. He stated that this tract of ground had been withdrawn from entry and reserved for townsltc purposes. The records of the local land office show that the executive order for this was signed on June 23, 1914, and, ace cording Co him. the town has never surrendered it's grant and been re- opened for entry or location. Sey- eral people who desired to locate claims at Cinema have been informed Co this effect by him.
 What course those stalking could take and be sure of their rights he could not say. In the meantime tho stalking has continued, until it is re- ported that practically everything in sight has been staked. Many old timers from the surrounding coun- try have hiked for the new strike and it is thought possible that good pay may yet be uncovered
 Already men have been in town seeking prospecting boilers and other supplies. and it Is believed that a large number of outfits will at once begin operations. IT the strike pans out it is sure Co mean considerable revenues for not only Fairbanks, but also for the entire district.-Fair- banks Citizen.

ALL BOUND UP
 IN RED TAPE
Alaska Homesteaders in Interior Ex- perience Difficulty in Securing
 Land Titles

According Co representative of the land office, many ranchers in the vicinity of Fairbanks, by me- glcctiug thc provisions Of the home stead laws, will be unable Co acquire titles Co their claims when they at- tempt Co prove up on them. lt was stated that this can be avoided if the claimants get busy and make the necessary Improvements and per form che necessary labor in the time which they have remaining. The biggest part of Che claims are made Of homcstcads of 32O acres, and if these revert back Co the government for rcstakiug such claims will be made into two homcstcads, as under Che new law only lGO acres can be secured.
 In addition Co being required to Hive on the claim a specified length Of time each calendar year, during the first two years one-sixteonth Of tho claim must be put under culti- yation. After the second year. one eighth of the entire claim must be cultivated during the remaining years. As five years are allowed In which to prove up for title, it was stated that probably an Of the claimants have sufficient time to get in the necessary amount Of work should they desire Co do SO.
 In view of the fact that many new settlers are expected to come into the country in the near future and that they will obviously be on the lookout for land nearest already settled communities. those home steads which have been disallowed on account of noncompliance with the laws will naturally be the first ones Co be settled on.
 The land office representatives state that that it is not their inten- tion Co be unfair nor to work a hard ship on anyone, but they have no choice in the matter but to report the facts in each ease, and in case of noncompliance of homestead laws the claimant will certainly not be able to get his tule.-Fairbanks Citizen.
