AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF THE SITUATION
The Nome Nugget of Oct. 14th,
just to hand, iu speaking editor
ially of the effects of the great
storoi which occurred there on Oct.
Oth, which wiped out a section of
the town on the water front and
did an immense amount of damage
to property, thus optimistically
sizes up the situation.
"Things are looking up. After all
we are not in such a bad fix. All
over the world people are having a
harder time than we are hero in
Nome. We are better off than the
people iu the towns of Mexico who
are Jailv being massacred and rob
bed. We are better off than the peo
ple in the new republic of China,
who are cuttlug each others throats
and blowing each other u,i We are
better off than the people in Ire
land where a great strike Is putting
the fear of starvation and riot in
to the hearts of the workers We
are far, far better off, and were bet
ter off even in the midst of the
great storm, than the people who
were aboard of the Volturna when
she was burned at sea, and who
had their choice of death by drown
ing or being incinerated by the de
vouring flames We are lots better
off than lots of people in lots of
places"

GOLD MINE DEVELOPMENT
Three quartz gold mines—The
Gold Bullion Alaska Free Gold
and Gold Quartz—were operated in
the Willow Creok district of Alaska
in 1912, according to the report of
the U. S. Geological Survey on Al
askan mineral resources. Each of
these properties is equipped with a
small mill whkh operated during
the summer sf.ison crushing iu all
about 3,000 tons of ore and pro
ducing gold to the valuo of about
$100,000. Thu properties have thus
far been operated only on a small
scale, chiefly owing to lack of rail
roads and the high cost of trans
portation. In this connection per
haps the most important event of
the year in 'hu Willow Creek dis
trict was the completion Of a wagon
road up the Little Susitna render
ing the eastern part of the district
accesible. Plans are now being
made looking to larger development
by continuing certain properties and
developing hydroelectric power on
the Little Susltna. Several discov
eries of gold bearing quartz are said
to have been made in 1912.—Mining

ENLARGED HOMESTEAD LAW;
METHODS OF PROCEDURE
The 320-acre homestead law, or as
it is often called, the enlarged home
stead law, has made possible the en
try of many million acres of dry
land in. the Western States in tracts
double the size allowed under the
original homestead law. Only land
which has beeu "designated" by the
Secretary of the Interior as "non
irrigible" can be entered under this
act. More than 200,000,000 acres
have been thus designated, but pe
titions and sworn statements request
ing further aesiguations are con
stantly being received.
In an interview just given out,
Secretary Lano calls attention to the
fact that there appears to be consid
erable misunderstanding amoug weat>
ern homesteaders as to the proced
ure necessary iu order that enlarged
homestead designations may be
made. The Stcretary states that
the simplest and most direct action
by the settler is required and that
It is whollv unnecessary for him to
incur the chargos now made by at
torneys who draw up formal peti
tions that are in fact no more ef
fective than tne homesteaders own
letter would !-e On this account a
brief statement of the essential
facts relative to the enlarged home
stead law is timely.
The first enlarged homestead act
was approved Feb. 19, 1909, and
as later amended provides that in
the States of Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming an
person who is 'iualified to make en
try under the homestead laws may
enter as much as 320 acres of pub
lic laud which is in a reasonably
compact body and is non-mineral,
irrigable, unreserved, and unappro
priated and docs not contain mer
chantable timbir. Before 6uch en
try can be made, however, the land
must be designated by the Secretary
] of the Interior as not being, in his
| opinion, susceptible of successful
irrigation at a reasonable cost from
