AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN ALASKA. 



31 



The Federal homestead laws extend to Alaska, excepting that, in- 

 stead of 160 acres, 320 may be filed upon. Very little of the available 

 land has been surveyed, but that work is row in progress. One may 

 locate on unsurveyed land, file a claim, and establish lines by metes 

 and bounds, but he can not secure a title until a survey has been 

 made by an authorized surveyor and the survey approved. If the 

 survey is made in advance of that made by the Government, it is done 

 at the expense of the homesteaders, and that is heavy.
