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 now 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.
