Gen. Davidson Urges
Land Law Changes
I
Surveyor General Charles E. David
son thinks that the law as construed
by the Commissioner of the General
Land Office that reserves for the Fed
eral govern meat an 80-rod strip of land I
between all homestead or other entries
along the shores of navigable waters
is retarding the development of Alas
ka. He thinks homesteads and min
eral claims should be exempt from the
application of the law, and that the
government should provide for ease
ments for roads of all kinds, water
pipes and power lines across all such
lands held by the government.
While Gen. Davidson believes the
construction of the law by the De
partment is the correct one. he thinks
Congress intended that it should apply
only to the classes of applications spe
cifically mentioned, as locations by I
laud scripts, locations under the trad
ing and manufacturing sites law, and
those for wharves and landings, etc.
He contends, further, that under the
law as it is, companies owning the
property on each side of the govern
ment tracts use the latter when need
ed to the exclusion of other people.
In a letter to the Secretary of the
Intrior. through the Commissioner of
the General Land Office. Gen. David
son sets forth his reasons for believ-;
ing that the law should be changed.
After setting forth the law and the
manner in which it operates. Gen. Da
vidson says:
"It is not thought that Congress in
tended that a reserve space should be
required between homestead claims
abutting on shores of navigable wa
ter. and I respectfully request that
such requirement be cancelled in the
regulations, because it is not in har
mony with good policy, is of no bene
fit, and largely prevents the settle
ment in the Territory of the most de
sirable and substantial class of citi
zens.
?"* 1 U CA.,?Kaoc? !
.M'iinv till tilt* lauu til ovuiutuoi- I
crn and Southwestern Alaska, availa-,
ble for agriculture of any sort, is
along the shores of navigable streams,
inlets, gulfs, bays, or seashore. This
largely is the case in the interior of
the Territory, as the most desirable
agricultural lands in that section
front on the banks of navigable
streams.
"Prospective settlers, otherwise fa-!
vorably disposed for making their
homes, hesitate about isolating them
selves in the way that results from
such condition. It militates against
neighborhood gatherings and is a bar
rier to schools and churches.
"Imagine, if you can. the develop
ment of the territories lying along the
banks of the Mississippi, the Sacra
mento. and Columbia rivers, the At
lantic*and Pacific oceans which wash
the shores of the United States, de
veloping as they have, under similar
restrictions as have been placed upon
this much stricken land by Congress.
"We. too, have great rivers flanked
on either shore by rich and fertile
lands. The valleys of the Yukon. Tan
ana and Kuskokwim rivers, as well as
other large valleys, and the thousands
of miles of Pacific shore, will some
day help to feed the many hungry
mouths of our people, if Congress will
allow this vast Territory to progress,
as have the other great States and
Territories of our Union.
"The most deplorable of all is the
requirement oi reserve spaces between
mineral surveys abutting on navigable
water. This will call a halt, in a
very marked degree, to the develop
ment of the mineral resources of Alas
ka. The exploitation of its minerals
is the principal Industry of the Terri
tory. It is the treasure trove of the
United States; and any Impediment
placed in the way of the output from
it* vaults, is a national wrong.
"Alaska Is In a class by itself in
regard to its lodes and placer claims.
Generally speaking, the lodes are
composed of enormous, deposits of very
low-grade ore. the average value of
which, in most places along the coast,
does not exceed two dollars per ton.
In order to make the reduction of this
ore yield a profit, very large and ex
pensive plants must be Installed and
a very great tonnage mined; and any
obstruction placed in the way of min
ing and transporting such tonnage to

in that country."

COLD SNAP CAUSES
SHORTAGE OF POWER ?
?-??
The present cold snap has shortened 1
up the available water power consld- 1
erable, and has caused in some in- !
stances temporary cessation of devel- '
opment work. Yesterday at the Per- 1
severance a mine crew numbering 35 (
was temporarily laid off, because '
of a lack of power to run a sufficient
number of drills. However, the rock
work at Sheep creek where the exca
vation is being made for the big I
mills is almost finished and this pow- I
er will then be transmitted to Perse- 1
verance and the crews brought to their <
full capacity again. The rock work at !
Sheep creek employs 15 machine drills
and a great number of lights. It is
expected now that the excavation at
Sheep creek will be finished by Feb- I
ruary 15. 1
