I.jist Spike Driven
At tile moment when the last
s.iilco is driven to hold the last rail
which shall permit uninterrupted
railroad communication for the
i coast of Alaska to the interior, the
j world will ilo well to pause for a
moment and take note of the fact.
With the last stroke of the hammer
new history will have begun and a
potential empire will have been
added to the world's possessions. »
Alaska is not going to forget its
dog sledges and its steamboats; the
winter mushing, and the long, pleas
ant boat rides of summer, but the
railroad, so far as human iutelli
bence now comprehends, is the great
empire builder. Continuous com
munication without more than tem
porary bowing to tho exigencies of
the weather is the vital factor in de
velopment and Alaska waits on tho
railroad as on a herald of good
tidings to all men.
When the mountain barrier is
pierced with the means of contin
uous communication, commercial
life, social life, economic life, will
be vivified and will flow through the
great areas back of the coast range.
No man saw, even as in a glass
darkly, and no man could have fore
seen all the eventualities of any one ]
of the successive additions to the |
developed areas of the United States, j
So no one can foretell what good ,
to the world is pressing up to the j
moment of the completion of this i
thread of steel on which all Alaska j
is concentrating in this present J
spring.
Hack of Mountains.
Now what is it that lies hack or j
these mountains? What are the pos
sibilities that await communication
and transportaton and that enthuse
even the occasional and casual vis
itor? In a word, what one feels is
the thrill of the stored-up wealth |
•of all the ages of the world. Not I
mere miner*! wealth, but the stored- i
up wealth of materials of life more |
abundant, the reservoir of food. |
the untouched granary that 11 ay
bring plenty where ihera Is starva- j
tion. contentment where there is de
structive agitation.
There has been deposited in the
interior of Alaska a line agricul- j
tural soil of a vast urea which only |
awaits transportation of the prod-j
hits to add inateriallv to the food
supply of the world. Tl,'! same j
process which laid dow:t tho placer J
gold laid down the soil which wilj |
grow wheat for iho world for ages.
The wheat that is espaifally suited
to Alaska growing has r.lready been
developed. It i> li.fd wheat with
a small grain and avenges H bush
els to the acre, all extensive yield
considering the size of the grain. It
has been intensified to 2$ oushels
to the acre. The season will mature
a crop in about a month's less tlire
than in lower altitudes, cwlng to
the longer daylight, miming to 2 4
hours of sunshine in Midsummer.
The official estimate oJ the agri
cultural land in the 'lauaiwi vallev
is that it amounts 10 a thousand
square miles, and there has been |
an estimate, not officially vouched
for. that 111 all of Alaska there is ;
a hundred times as much, that is,
the total agricultural lind of Alas
ka is estimated to be 100,000 square
miles.

Locator s.
SHOt'Ll) PERFECT CLAIMS
Delegate Dan Sutherland Says
:
Locators should {Establish Their
Boundary Lines Before Litiga
tion Follows Oil Strike.
. . Delegate Dan A. Sutherland has j
issued a warning to Alaska oil land |
claimants to perfect locations by j
marking boundaries to eliminate lit
igation when oil is found in the Alas- j
ka oil fields. His circular letter, i
addressed to claimants, reads as fol- j
lows:
I desire to call your attention to
the terms under which these permits
have been issued by the general
land office and to urge upon you the
necessity of complying with the con
ditional provision contained in sec
tion 7% of the permit, to-wit:
"This permit is granted upon the
express condition that the permittee
will adjust any conflict with any
prior applicant within (six) months
from date hereof."
I'lider the conditions that pre
vailed in locating areas, it has been
impossible for the department to
prepare accurate maps thereof. The
requirement of the leasing law was
for the placing of one stake only
in locating an area and consequently
it i3 more than probable that a sur
vey would demonstrate that many
of these claims overlap, and this
would apply particularly to the west
field of the Cold bay district where
most of the locutions were made.
In issuing these conditional per
mits it is the purpose of the general
land office to facilitate and encour
age prospecting, and the oil pros
pector should appreciate this unusual
procedure in his interest to the ex-'
tent of co-operating with the depart
ment by establishing the boundary
lines of his claim within the period
of time provided for in the above
quoted section No.'TMi
Any prospector is aware of the
Tart that the only sure way of fixing
the boundary lines of a claim is by
lite establishment of corner posts or
mounds, and that any claim that is
worth locating well, with a view to
preventing future litigation.
We assume that the locating at
Cold bay was dono tn the manner
usual with prospectors and that
groups of two, three or four men
were present at the locating of sev
eral claims and that some one mem
ben of the group is capable of acting
for the other members in fixing the
boundary lines of the several claims,
and 1 therefore respectfully suggest
that if it is not convenient for all
locators to go to the fields within
the time specified in the permit, it
would be well to select one who is
familiar with the locations and give
him the authority to go to the fleld
and act for others as well as him
self in placing corner mounds and
establishing the lines.
A departmental surveyor is going
to the Cold bay district this summer
who will make a sort of skeleton sur
vey of the district, but this survey
Will have 110 connection with your
claims except insofar as it may es
tablish a few base lines. Section
7does not imply that a survey of
your claims is required, but simply
that all conflicts be adjusted within
the six months and all conflicts will
be permanently settled when corner
mounds are established by common
consent of all interested locators.
It is believed to be a certainty
that at least one drill will operate at
Cold bay this summer; boundary
lines can be easily adjusted without
dispute prior to discovery of oil,
as a few acres more or less are not
considered of great value to an area
but in the event of a good discovery
of oil before all lines are established
the history of mining camps will
surely be repeaded in almost endless
litigation, while clouded titles will
hamper business transactions.
I make the request herein ex
pressed for a two-fold purpose, first,
that each and every prospector who
lias gotie into these remote places
to locate areas of oil land may have
clear and undisputed title to his
areas in the event of an oil strike;
and. second, that the general land
office may be relieved of much labor
and trouble in the adjustment of
titles in the event of transfers being
made. •
