Discussing Alaskan matters he con
tinued: ;
"These Alaskan coal lands and
claims, at their market value, are
withdrawn from entry, awaiting clas
sification, and all the unentered or
nnlocated- coal land In Alaska are
standing under an absolute withdraw
al act of 1906, and not a patent has
ever been lsued to an acre of, coal
land In Alaska. In fact, nearly all
the coal lands that have been pat
ented have been obtained not as coal
land but under the guise of some oth
er form of entry, as agricultural, tim
ber and stone, etc. No man, or set 6f
men can comply with the present
laws, and finance a mine on the pub
lic domain cf 640 acres of land ex
cept under extremely favorable cir
cumstances. The absurdity of the
law has, In Itself, lnvitedvfrauds arid
Indirect methods of evading Its con
ditions. "It Is likewise Impracticable to se
cure oil or gas lands or phosphate
lands under the general mining laws,
and In all these cases there Is no
power of control or ability In the de
partment to prevent monopoly In the
sale of the deposits when the title
Is 'once secured thereto. Awaiting
remedial legislation from . congress,
all known areas of public lands con
taining these deposits are under tem
porary withdrawals from private en
try, and It Is hoped congress will fur
nish the Interior department the niec
essary machinery to safely and prop
erly guard the public Interests in
their ultimate disposition."
