Saj's Mining Records Endangered—■
Clifton W. Hudson, mining re
corder at Liveng-wd,. the progressive
and busy mining camp which ha=
produced some sis million dollars in
go d, and is expecting the installa
tion this season of the first of a - iie-ii
I
I
> of dredges that may more than
I double the output, is in hearty ac
ford with the recommendations re
cently made in the News-Miner that
vaults or safes be provided. by the
Territory for protection .of mining-,
records. In a letter to the News
Miner recently, Mr. Hudson -says.
“One thing which is of gr^stt im_-'
porta nee to Alaska as a whole which
I was mentioned in your. . paper, save
, t'rce ago, and which I Tear win be
lost sir ht of in t ei. scramble
I rth r legislation, is tfif securing at
fireproof satjsr fer the records
of ali Ret or dng Eistiicl. in
Alaska. „ Tnis could be done by the
Territorial Legislature at a small
cost when com pat ed to the cost and
lortt in ea.h case .ha; the reco ds
have bets burned, and there are a
number of them throughout.the Ter
ritory. Such safes or vaults would
be of benefit to every prospector or
property owner in the Teiritory. I
would like to see the News-Mine and
Fairbanks C. C. get behind a bill to
provide funds for this, purpose and
. see that the funds are made avail
able at once."
