Land Purchases Made in U. S. Tracts
Here May be Completed
Now
Purchasers of lots within the Fed
eral and ClitT additions here who have
not paid their full purchase price on
lots obtained at the land sales Septem
ber 11 and 21, 1916, are advised by
the land and industrial department
that their final payments are due at
the land office at Juneau within one
year of the date of purchase. The
date of purchase appears upon exe
cuted copies of the applications which
were returned to purchasers, but per
sons who cannot find the date upon
which their payment is due are advised
to send their money in so it will arrive
within one year of the sales date.
In the Anchorage and Matanuska
townsites, one-third the amount bid
for any lot is paid at the sale and
the remainder of the purchase price
divided into five equal installments,
payable annually. These payments,
made on the anniversary of the date
of the sale, must be made to the re
ceiver, U. S. Land Office, at Juneau.
Lots sold at Nenana are paid for
in a similar manner, with deferred
payments made likewise. Nenana is
situated in the Fairbanks land dis
trict, however, and payments are made
to the land office receiver at Fairbanks
instead of at Juneau.

MINING NOTES
The Mathison mining company at
Hope is working two shifts this sea
son and good clean-ups are reported.
Plenty of rain in that section has pro
vided sufficient water to work the
ground on a more extensive scale than
for several seasons.
The combined output of the Braden
and Kennecott mines in June was 10,
850.000 pounds of copper, against 13,
598.000 in May, 12,282,000 in April,
11.018.000 in March, 10,540,000 in Feb
ruary and 11,878,000 in January. It is
stated that the falling off in produc
tion was due to labor troubles.
The Nome Nugget states that
Frank Shaw and Charles Carlson
have begun a cut on Rock creek and
have set up their boxes to sluice tung
sten for shipment to the Outside.
