WHAT CAN GIVE:

WHAT CAN GIVE?
And God so loved the world He gave
His child His only son, to save
My child from life until that time,
Some day. we meet in life sublime.
God gave His all exquisitely
In agony of love that we
Might live again with those we love,
In newer sweeter, life above
My mother gave to me her heart,
That tenderness might neer depart.
That l might see with vision clear
The beauty all around me here
That in my child's heart l might see
Reflected there a love for me;
My mothers love, His mothers too,
His own-Love's Trinity anew.
My child gave me his spirit fair,
His faith his trust; what treasures rare,
That naught could daunt IN the strife,
Nor evil smirch my soul through life.
Unquestioning he gave to me
His love, his a-God grant that he
May find his spirit fair,
And lovely in his fathers care.
give to you-what can I give,
What other than this life live?
A spirit clean and unafraid,
To Him who that clean spirit made.
An understanding heart that knows
Lifes joys, better knows life's
A love so great, so sweet and fine,
No child for love, need ever pine

CHRISTMAS CARD
Every heart must know its sorrow; every life must
face night
When the weary eyes are blinded with their longing
for the light;
But some little song will blossom in the heart that
still can trust,
Knowing how the rain is coaxng bloom and beauty
from the dust;
For the sunshine still will flicker where the dark
est shadows lie,
And thorns be all forgotten in the by and by
Every heart that is not darkened by its doubling hears

THE ALASKA MINING: LAW
Being extracts from Alaska Mining Law" by Hon. Henry Roden Reprinted by courtesy of the Author
 Fourth Tnstaliment

From these provisions it may be concluded that any lands in the possession and use of any Indian at the time of the passage of the latter act (June 9th, 1900) are withdrawn from entry as mining locat- ions. Whether or not the same rule applies to lands taken up by Indians since that time Fhas never been decided, but it probably does not, provided entry can be made without disturbing the possession of | the Indian. It must be at all times remembered that it is a general and cardinal principle of the law that no entry, can be made upon land for any purpose which involves a tres pass or a breach of the peace. Undoubtedly, where a pros Ipector can enter any land in the actual use and occupation of an Indian, (except on an Indian Reservation) with the ! Indians consent, express or implied, that is, if a peaceable entry can be made, and he then discovers any valuable minerals within it's confines, he can make a valid mining location, subject, of course, to the Indians right to control his possession of the surface and enjoy the same. In pass ing, it may be stated that an Indian has a right to sell and dispose of any rights he may have in any particular tract of land, but care must be exer- cised that the transaction is made in good faith and there must be no over-reaching on the part of persons dealing with the Native. The Indian should be made to fully un. derstand the transaction and fair and adequate compen' sation should be paid him fol whatever rights he may trans
 fer.

naval reserves are completely withdrawn from entry and any mining location made within any of them is void. The same may be said about lands set aside for missions.
 The lands embraced within the National Forest Reserves in Alaska are open for explOr- ation, and mining locations may be made within their boundaries as though no re- serve had been declared. A mining location made within the Forest Reserve, however, until patent has been issued for the same, is more or less Subject to the inspection of the Forest Officers, and if in their opinion the land is not strictly mineral in character, they may object to the issu- ance of a patent, and since they are, practically speaking. in sole charge of the timber in the Forest Reserve, .includ- ing the timber on a mining To- cation made therein, they may exercise, through this means, considerable influence upor the prospector and miner. However, it has uniformly been found that the Forest Officers are at all times moi only willing but anxious to as sist prospectors in the Re- serves and it is not likely that from this source any obstacles will ever be placed in the path of the miner.
 Under the act of June 25th, 1910, "An Act to authorize the President of. the United States to make withdrawals of public lands in certain cases" (36 s. L. 847; F. S. A. 1912 Sup. 321) lands suitable for power sites and other pur- poses have been withdrawn by Presidential proclamation but the act especially provides that such lands shall at all times be open to exploration discovery, occupation and pur- chase. under the mining laws of the United States "so far as the same apply to minerals other than coal, oil, gas or phosphates." This act was amended by the act of Aug. ust 24th, 1912, (37 s. L. 497 1 F. s. A. 1914 Sup. 341) and under it prospecting on these reserved areas is prohibited ex cept for "metalifferous min era;s."
 Under the act of Congress o: March 4th, 1915, provision i' : made that sections sixteen ant thirty six in each Township lin Alaska sh;N re reserved from sale for t',e support: 0. the common schools in thu Territory.
