trict (hero lvavo been patented 1,294
mining Claims, with 1,000 in the An
chorage district, 864 of which are
located east rtf Soward and were thus
capable of being patented more
rfheaply here than at Anchorage, in
the local district at the present time
there ure 94 applications for patents
to mining claims pendling as com
pared to 15 in the Anchorage dis
trict, and two important hearings on
disputed claims ipending in this dis
trict and none at Anchorage.
Business arising from the staking
of ail cllalms at Yakataga, Katalla
apd on the Alaska Peninsula is more
nearly naturally tributary to Juneau
than Anchorage, strill Mr. Faulkner.
Most of the business being done In
th's connate Ion is with non-residents
who find Juneau more conveniently
located than Anchorage, which Is off
the main line of travel.
Lots of Land Surveys
There Is no gTcttt rush of home
steaders to districts along the Alaska
Railroad which demand.? l.ntned.a.e

added. Ho prt.n.ed out that (surveys
j some elgilu or nine year? old cover
628.600 acres Ot land in tha Alt
chc.'uge district. Since that tune
156 homesteads have been patented,
216 o.'hor ajplic .ons for hrtma- .ea J.:
were cancelled, the applicants vacat
ing the land. There are on file 157
; (applications pending of which nutn
1 ber 14 have been cancelled. Thus

j lies been taken up or applied for
I there. Withdrawal* from entry to

ment in the Anchorage district sev
eral hundred thousand acres of laud

Robertson Supports Position
The position taken by Mr. Faulk
ner was supported by R. K. Robert
son. “We do not argue that An
ehorage doe? not need a land office,
but that the local land 'office should
not be removed in order that it
might be given one," he said. The
order elf transfer, he added, “is a
forerunner of attempt's to move other
offices, possibly the Capitol, and is a
mot serio-us mat ter."
J. A. Hef.lenLh.il said the import
ance of the question “is apparent tc
everyone.” He reviewed the data
presented by' Mr. Faulkner ansi em
phasized the importance to the min
ing industry of retaining the local
land rtdflce. He ofifered for adoption
a telegram prepared by the commit
tee rtf Which he is a member. At the
suggestion of G. F. Forrest, in this
telegram Was included the relative
distance botiween Juneau and Anchor
age. and Fairbanks and Anchorage,
! and the tawt that between the latter
two towns telephone communication
,s available. The telegram as amend
ed was adopted by a unanimous vote.
Urges Facts eB Presented
K. Valentino declared that ithe solu
tion of tlhe problem would be found
