Numerous inquiries have been
made of late respecting the exact
provisions of the new law, en

Territorial Legislature, govern
ing the size of association claims
and use of the power of attorney
in locating placer claims. The
new act, known as chapter 77 in

was approved by the governor.
Any stakings before that date are
governed by the old law.
The new law, to apply on and
after June 9, is brief. The full

No Suspension of
Assessment Work
WASHINGTON. May 11, (JP) —
A bill to suspend assessment
work against unpatented mining
claims for the current fiscal year
was disapproved by the Senate
Mining Committee who advised
the Seriate, if mineral activity is
to continue in the west, Congress
should forwith abandon its prac
tice of exempting holders of
such claims from the require
ment of annual assessment work.
Similar legislation has been en
acted each year since 1932 when
Congress in recognition of de
pressed conditions first exempted
prospectors in the United States
and Alaska.
