ON RESERVE
Mineral Locations Can be Made

"Mineral claims may lie locat
ed ami limber culling permits
may lie issued on Alaska reserve
number one, Alaska."
Tbe forejroiuK is an official an
nnimceiiieiil from the U. S. land
department al Washington. I), fl.,
in response In a teller of impiiry
sent by A. J. Jaffa, special ajrenl
of tbe land department, now in
Seward. Since Mr. Jaffa's arrival
bvri\ several days uk<>i be lias
Jieeu plied with queries as to the
status of (bis reserve. For the
information of persons concerned
be wrote tbe department.
Alaska reserve number one was
made by executive order Decem
ber r>, 11)11, under tbe act au
tbori/in^r tbe president lo with
draw certain lands for certain
purposes. While, not officially sn
stated, il is generally understood
that this withdrawal was made
in connection with the plan of .1
government-owned ruilroud sys
tem from Seward to the Yukon
river and the establishment of a
naval base on Resurrection bay.
The limits of the reserve, which
follow, would indicate that it was
for no other purpose:
"H<>KinninK at the northern
iiMist point of Day harbor, ITTence
running due norlh to the south
erly line of said CJiugach nation
al forest to a point which is duo
north from the northernmost
point of Aialik hay; thence due
.south to said northernmost point
of Aialik bay, Illying sound, Res
urrection bay and Day harbor to
the point or place of beginning,
together with all islands within
the limits of Resurrection bay,
(living sound, Aialik bay ami Day
harbor."
The statement from the land
department clears away much
doubt and uncertainty which has
hitherto prevailed. Especially
important is the announcement
that mineral claims may be lo
cated. As to timber cutting the
status is unchanged from the
regulations effective before the
reserve was made. The usual
stumpage tax of 25 cents per
coI'd on wood for fuel purposes
maintains, and the tax on piling
or timber for lumber purpose*
remains as before.
The reserve, however, prevents
th<> location of homestead en*
tries within its borders.

Tiberg was arrested in a Seal
lie hotel in September, 1010 by
Deputy Marshal Warren, on a
charge of having robbed the Pio
neer Mining company of Nome of
JjM -4,000 in gold dust. The details
of the alleged robbery lis they
were set forth in the complaint
combined to make one of I he most
unusual charges ever presented
in the northern territory.
Al I lie time of Tiberg's arrest,
he agreed lo waive extradition,
after #r»,3tf0 in currency and a
check for *11,000 had been found !
on his person and claimed as lhe|
prollls of the alleged theft. When i
the vessel came lo sail, however,
lie refused to go; and navigation
closed before extradition papers
could be completed.
In the meantime Tiberg bad ap
pealed first lo Judge Ronald and
later lo Judge C. II. llanford for
a writ nf habeas corpus, both ap
peals being denied. When the ex
tradition papers from Governor
W. K. Clark of Alaska finally ar
rived I hey were found by Judge
llanford to lie faulty, and he an
nulled llicm: but issued a bench
warrant in order lo hold Tiberg
until new papers could arrive.
Tiberg appealed lo the circuit .
