COMPLIMENT TO THE l’l()\ EERS' HOME Without exception the Territorial Legislators whe visited the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka over the last weel end were loud in their praise of the institution and it management. They reported finding everything ir tip-top condition and pioneers living at the Hom« perfectly happy and contented. It is a remarkabl and pleasing commenta remarkable in that ou of from 150 to 180 men there would not be some com plaint, and pleasing to taxpayers and other resident: of the Territory that public money has beer. and i being so ably expended to bring peace and happines: to those old-timers who came north in the early days and made possible, through their persistent efforts, the Alaska of today. The comment of the lawmakers, some of whow had never seen the institution before, lends weigh pecting for the kinds of mineral now subject to location under the United States mining laws, and, upon discovery of any such mineral, locations may be made in accordance with the provisions of the mining laws and regulations thereuhder. Such locations, duly made, will carry all the rights and incidents of mining locations, except that they will give to the locator no title to the land within their boun- daries or claim thereto except the right to occupy and use so much of the surface of the land as required for all purposes reasonably necessary to mine and remove the minerals, such occupation and use to be under general regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior The owner of a mining such timber within the boundaries of his claim as is necessary for mining purposes. Prospec- tors may cut timber for their necessary mining and domestic uses only with the permission of the custodian of the monument or his rep- resentative who will designate the timber to be cut. All slash, brush or debris resulting from the cutting of timber upon mining claims or by prospectors shall be disposed of by the claimant or prospector in such manner and at such time as may be designated by the Nation- al Park Service officer in charge so as to pre- vent the creation of infestation by timber- destroying insects. Prospectors or miners shall not open or con- struct roads or vehicle trails without first OL‘- taining a pe it from the Director of the tional Park Service. Applications for suc permits may be made through the officer in charge of the monument upon submitting a map or sketch showing the location of the mining property to be served and the location of the proposed road or vehicle trail.

Occupation and use of the surface of an un- patented mining claim is restricted by the general law to such as is reasonably incident to the exploration, development and extrac- tion of the minerals in the claim. According- ly, any locator or patentee of a mining claim located under this act will be entitled to such right. Upon written permission of the Di- rector of the National Park Service or his rep- resentative, the surface of such claim may be used for other specified purposes, the use to be on such conditions and for such period as may be prescribed when permission is granted. Prospectors and miners shall at all times conform to any rules now prescribed or which may be made applicable by the Director of the ational Park Service to the national monu- to the statement of Superintendent Eiler Hansen in hi biennial report to the Legislators: “Two years of oc cupation of the present Home has demonstrated tha with very few exceptions it is admirably adapted t the purpose for which it was designed.” There appears to be no doubt remaining the the Pioneers' Home fills the program that the Ter ritory originally intended to carry out. Its construc tion, management and occupation has been free o bickering, misunderstandings and politics. Commen of members of the 13th Territorial Legislature, man: of them pioneers themselves, is fitting tribute to ¢ laudable undertaking, well conceived and efficientl; carried forward Some of the report of Superintendent Hansen i enlightening in this connection, reflecting the ,resen conditions and the future needs: “It has been pleasi to determine that the cos of operation in this new modern structure is no excessive. The average per diem cost for the bienniun to the Territory of Alaska of $1.02 is the lowest or record. With regard to future costs it should be ex plained that repairs to buildings, replacement o equipment and higher prices for food are factor: that will increase the expense of operation. “The Home was designed to house 176 men. In 1936 there were frequent periods when more thar 180 residents were cared for. The reason for making the attic habitable is to relieve overcrowding of the other floors. To promote the welfare and happines: of the Pioneers’ I recommend that 180 be fixed a: the maximum number of occupants. “Some interesting statistics have been worked ou’ to the effect that the average age of the resident: has gradually increased. The average age now is 73. The average period of occupancy is two year: and eight months. Your attention is called to the fact that the receipts for the past biennium hav( been double that of any previous similar period This has been mainly due to the persistent prose- cution of claims for subsistence against the estatc of deceased pioneers. “I renew the recommendation I made in my las report that the Territory construct a mausoleum or a unit basis for burial of deceased pioneers. If thi: is not done the next Legislature will have to pro- vide funds for another burial ground. There are now 559 pioneers buried in three cemeteries at Sitka. I is doubtful if any more suitable burial ground can br found near Sitka. The greater initial cost of mau soleum crypts will be more than offset by the cos of clearing and preparing burial grourd and its per petual upkeep. “During the biennium there were 321 person he Home; 188 re admitted; 32 wer were adjudged insane and com rningside; 115 died, and 171 are r ome at the close of this rcpo. disc mitted arged to M ree dents of the CLACIER P*V RPRCULATIONS scued tl 1 should | go.ng in ed States of Ameri- That in the area nal Monument in after be extended, all and kinds now and patent under mini ited States shall be, exclusive of tl i aining them, subject to disposal under such laws, with right of occu- pation and use of so much of the surface of the land as may sired for all purposes reasonably incident to the mining or removal of the minerals and under such general regu- Jations as may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior.” Under this act, the lands in the Glacier Bay | National Monument, reserved by proclamation | of Pebruary 26, 1925 (43 Stat. 1988). or as it may be extended hereafter, are open to pros- ca in C with Alaska mi. subject ment Attention is called to the park regulation for the protection of wild life which provides: “The national monument is a sanctua for wild life of every sort, and all hunting, or the killing, wounding, frightening, capturing or attempting to capture at any time of any wild bird or animal, except dangerous animals when it is necessary to prevent them from destroying human lives or inflicting personal injury, is prohibited. rearms, traps, seines, and nets are pro- hibited within the boundaries of the monu- ment, except upon written permission of the custodian or his representative.” The right of occupation and use of the sur- face of the land embraced in the boundari of a location, entry or patent,pursuant to this act will terminate when the minerals are mined out or the claim is abandoned. Any owner of an unpatented location who fails to perform annual assessment work on his claim for any assessment period will be assumed to have abandoned his claim, and his right of occupa- tion and use of the surface of the claim con- sidered at an end. Applications for patents and final certifi- cates issued thereon for mining claims in this monument should be noted “Glacier Bay Na- tional Monument Lands,” and all patents is- sued for claims under the act will convey title to the minerals only, and contain appropriate reference to the act and these regulations.
