NO ASSESSMENT |
FOR TWO YEARS
The following telegram from
Delegate Sulzer to the Iditarod
Commercial Club will undoubt
edly have a tendency to clarify
matters regarding annual assess
ment work on mining claims:
Washington, D.C., Oct. 1,1917.
—Iditarod Commercial Club, Idit
arod, Alaska: Congress today ap j
proved the passage of a bill i
which exempts every owner of
lode or placer claims in Alaska
or elsewhere from performing as
sessment work during the years
1817 and 1918, after a reconsider
ation of the report of several
days ago of the conference com
mittee of the house and senate
It was decided to make a simple
out and .out exemption without
any restrictions that may exist.
The claim owner must file a
statement with the recorder of
the district in which the claim is
located, that he holds the claim,
and this! notice is to be tiled by
December 31 of the year for
which exemption is desired. Oil
claims are not included in the ex
emption because of the desire of
members of congress to hasten
oil development- Please give this
law the widest publicity among
miners and prospectors.
Chas. A. Sulzer,
Delegate from Alaska*

James Hardaway and George Turner,
the Holikachuk traders, reached Idit
arod last Monday with a string of
seventy dogs that spent the sntmner
at their canine boarding school.
Judging from the dogs’ vocal efforts
during the time spent here, the whole
outfit evidently ranked high in the
musical courses of that summer resort.
A very pleasant but by no means a
largely-attended meeting of the
Pioneers was held in A. B. hall last
Wednesday evening. The next meet
ing will be at Flat on the night of
November 21, when the igloo will en
joy the big smoker that is being
arranged for.
Joe Konechney, one of the camp's old
reliable standbys, was a visitor in Idit
arod last Tuesday from Flat creek, re
turning home in the evening.

Dr. Reed lias completely remodeled
