while the tractor is backing up. On each forward trip
the teeth float on top of the ground. They are com
pletely automatic in operation—there are no controls
and. when desired, they can be locked up out of the way.

ASSESSMENT WORK
The mining assessment work
year would extend from October 1
of one year to October 1 of the
next through legislation reported
to the Senate recently by the Sen
ate Interior and Insular Affairs
Committee.
The legislation, sponsored by
Sen. Murray of Montana, would
also extend the assessment year
in Alaska and the continental Uni
ted States until October of this
year.
Under present law, the work on
all unpatented mining claims ^s
required to be performed between
July 1 of one year and July 1 of
the next. In other words, if the
legislation should be enacted into
law, those persons who failed to
perform their assessment work
for the year ending July 1, 1953,
would have three more months
until October 1 to meet the re
quirements.
