“The resolution of Congress suspends the annual la
bor law on mining claims in Alaska as well as elsewhere.
All that is necessary to hold a claim is to file notice of ap
plication before January 1, 1918.
“GEORGE B. GRIGSBY,
“Attorney-General of Alaska.",
'
There is a difference of opinion regarding the sus-j
pension of the annual assessment work on mining claims i
and the above is the opinion of the Attorney-General ol1
Alaska, which should be accepted.
James Wickersham, in a statement to The Gateway,
contained in a letter, has the following to say regarding
the joint resolution which passed the last session of Con
gress:
“The Act of Congress suspends (or repeals) Section j
2324 of the U. S. Rev. Stat., 1878, requiring assessment |
work on mining claims for the years 1917 and 1918, but itj
DOES NOT suspend or repeal Section 3, of the Act of the
Legislature of Alaska of 1915, which requires such assess-1
ment work to be done in Alaska.”
In order that an opinion might be secured, The Gate-j
way asked Attorney-General Grigsby for his version of
the Act of Congress, and that printed above was his state
ment.
The Gateway has received the full text of the Act,
which is as follows:
(Public Resolution—No. 12—65th Congress.)
(S. J. Res. 78)
Joint Resolution to suspend the requirements of annual
assessment work on mining claims during the years
nineteen hundred and seventeen and nineteen hun
dred and eighteen.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
