ain’s war debt payment due the

INTENTION Sm
USSESSMEHT ME
MOST BE FILED JULY I
All persons desirous of taking
advantage of the law susnending
annual assessment work for the
year 1933-34, must, on or before the
first day of July next, file notice
with the United States Commis
sioner stating that it is his or their
intention to retain the property
held by them.
United States Commissioner Har
wood has stressed this requirement
to clarify the confusion attendent
upon suspension of annual assess
ment work.
Contrary to popular belief, the
placer laws with relation to num
ber of claims allowable in any cal
endar month, and those allowable
under power of attorney, remain
unchanged. That is, a staker may
stake and record two claims for
himself and in his name and two
under powers of attorney executed
prior to the staking and for two
distinct persons.
Thus a staker may acquire for
himself and two powers of attorney
four claims in each calendar
month.
The act recently passed by the
Legislature repealing the laws of
1912 is still in the hands of the
Delegate to Congress awaiting ac
tion by Congress. To date no word
has been received of action upon
this law.
To date no copy of the repealing
has been received, and it is not
generally known what substitute
has been offered for the act of
1912.
The new mining law passed by
the last Legislature merely difines
certain actions with respect to the
manner of staking claims. Includ
ed in these is the requirement, that,
in addition to the four monuments
on lode claims, there must be two
end centers, and where there is
timber the lines shall be blazed.
It also requires that where their
are partners or joint owners, if one
his share of assessment work, the
fails to contribute to or perform
one who performs these require
ments shall notify him by .writing
or publishing notice in a news
paper once a week for 90 days. In
the event of failure to assume or
perform his part of the assessment
work, the one thus defaulting shall
surrender all right to interest in
the claim.

FLINT, Mich., June 13, —Balfe

WILL BE PROSECUTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13,—
Attorney General Cummings said
that 95 gold hoarders with gold
holdings estimated at $660,601 will
be prosecuted. “I have,” Mr. Cum
mings said, ‘‘no patience with peo
ple who follow a course which in
war-time would class them as
slackers.’’
PUmiL PAYMENT
PROBABLY BF ACCEPTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13,—
Administration officials said a for
mal war debt offer is expected to
day from Great Britain which will
probably take the form of partial
payment of the $75,949,000 due on
1 June 15.
Although President Roosevelt has
maintained complete silence re
garding his attitude on war debts,
there was a well-founded belief

NO NEEO FOR MAPS
IN A1ASKA: MATIERN
FAMILIAR TERRITORY
NEW YORK, June 13,—Jimmy
Mattern will certainly be delighted
when he reaches Alaska from Si
beria, said Jack Clark, the Texan’s
representative.
“With all of his hard luck none
of us have had a day’s rest since
he started. But once he reaches
Alaska the remainder of the jour*
ney will be simple.
“Mattern is well acquainted
with Alaska; his maps show a doz
en landing fields at places not
marked on regular maps. He even
knows of beaches where forced
.landings can be made safely. Jim
mie told me that after he gets to
Alaska he could throw his maps
away and come the rest of the
way with only mountains and riv
ers for guides.”
Clark doubted Mattern’s ability
to make 150 miles an hour because
of headwinds along the route*.
