Precicely What Attorney Curiy wants for his Alaska Indian clients in settlement of their claims is difs ficult to determine, but it is mode than a little. It is clear, for instance, [ he wishes the claims ed by estaklizhment of resery ns. Agd it further appears that he wishes these reservations, particularly ia the potential pulp mill areas of Southeast Alaska, to include the more valuable stands of timber and, in addition, the waters that are most frequented by valuable coms mercial species of fish. It is in connection with these de- sired fishing reservations for 'ex- clusive use by the Indians that Curty finds the greatest fauit with the Bartlett Indian Claims bill.
