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." I

There is at thq present time no sub

it is so felt here in Seattle, the entre
