DAVIDSON URGES LAND LAW CHANGES | (Continued from Page 1.) the reduction mlllB la n very serious handicap. The ore to be milled must be brought to the shores of deep wa ter, and It Is necessary that every fa cility for minimizing freight charges in doing so be provided, and that enormous plants bo established for. treating the ore. and without sufficient water fronts no company could oper ate at all. "A mlllslte claim on which It Is necessary to establish these plants is limited to live acres, and If a re serve space of a fourth mile In oxtcnt Is required between them, the compan ies reducing these low-grade ores, (and they are the prevailing kind) would have to abandon their enterprises; for adequate plants could not be providod upon such limited area. "Along nearly all the coast line of Alaska the mountains come down al most to the waters, leaving only nar row strips available for installing plants of the sort required. "Furthermore, it is not Infrequent ly the case that gold aud other min eral-bearing lodes are approximately parallel to and near the shore of the line of navigable water, and the inter pretation of the law above meutioned results in cutting the lode luto parts at Intervals of every half mile of me ander measurement. This presents an almost intolerable condition to claim ants of such lodes. Generally the de velopment of these lodes requires a very large outlay of capital to place them on a paying basis, and in most cases funds must be borrowed' to do so. Capitall is timid and, unless a clear title to the claim for a great length can be shown, it will not be forthcoming, nor under such condi tions can such claims be sold, only at a nominal price to those who could develop them. Now It will be seen that the conditions above recited have a very detrimental bearing upon the development of the mineral resources of this country, and should not be al lowed to exblt. . "In view of the conditions as set forth in this communication, 1 most respectfully and earnestly urge that j a more liberal policy be adopted for j the disposal of the public lands in Al- j aska. ( "It has been shown that the reserve i spaces along the shores of navigable I water have largely failed to fulfill the | purpose for which they were de- i signed, and in several ways militate J against the proper development of i the country. I therefore most re spectfully advocate that the land laws of Alaska be so amended as to relieve this Territory of such servitude. "As a substitute for the reserve spaces along shore fronts, it is rec ommended that easements be provid- | ed for over all classes of claims in ( Alaska, both along the waterfront and us far back therefrom as conditions may require. ' "It is true that the Act of Congress ' provided for a public roadway 60 feet * wide ulong and parallel to the shore line of navigable water. The act no doubt Intended that the roadway should be continuous and unbroken, but it was so worded that the courts hold that the road reservation refers only to the re- j served strips between claims along j the shore. The decisions render this ] feature of the Act not only usless, but ? absurd. Such a roadway would be of no advantage, whatever, to the public; ' and it is recommended that the clause 1 defining this easement either be so 1 amended as to apply to all lauds along ' navigable waters, or annulled alto gether. "The easements provided for should Include wagon roads, railroads, both steam and electric, telegraph, tele phone and electric power lines, flumes, - plpo lines, tunnels, ditches, etc. These easements should also provide for the crossing over or under other previous s rights of way, for any purpose, but in such manner as not to obstruct or in- * terfere with the proper operation of 1 such intercepted rights of way. c "This, it is considered, would give the general public free access to the shores of navigable waters, would not ( interfere with tho operation of any enterprise, would prevent many law suits over disputed right of way, and would be more beneficial both to the Government and the public, than is i possible under existing conditions. c "So far as wharfage rates are con- ? cerncd, these would be kept within v reason by competition, or the regula tion of them could be placed directly i under the supervision of the Secretary j of Commerce."
