NEW MINING LAW HAS
MANY ADDED FEATURES
Jl’NEAR, March ill.- A mining bill
designed to remedy many of the inhib
iting features of the Roden law, now in
effect throughout the territory has been
introduced by Representative Oetchell,
acting for the committee on Mining un
der whose direction the new bill was
drafted. In general effect the new bill
is substantially the same as the old
law known as the Wiekershnm law
with some added features which are
intended to modif.s the severe restric
tions without destroying the good fea
tures of that measure. In addition to
repealing the Roden law the new bill
limits all claims located under its pro
visions to a maximum length of thir
teen hundred and twenty feet and also
makes oomplsory the tiling of proof of
bur. What is probably the most pro
minent feature is the provision requir
ing the performance of assessment
work during the year of location. The
section defining the limitations of as
sessments provides that surveys shall
count as assessments work during the
year in which such survey is made. The
new measure also allows the location
of one fraction by power of attorney
in addition to the location of full claims,
