SUSPENDING ASSESSMENT WORK
The suggestion by the Senate mining committee that
assessment work be suspended this year for the purpose
of relieving distress is like closing down the factory to
save the employer from paying wages.
Doubtless there are many cases where prospesctors
might be relieved of a burden thru this suspension, but it
would have an opposite effect on unemployment when it
is considered that more absentee claim holders would be
involved.
Instead of suspension of assessment work it would
appear more logical to demand and encourage its perform
ance and thus give many idle men an opportunity to earn
a few dollars while at the same time press forward de
velopment.
It is difficult to differentiate between individual
claims, held by prospectors and groups held by corpora
tions, etc. Under the suspension rule these latter could
suspend operations where all Work was being done on a
group thru a distinctive working.
Any step looking to the retarding of mining work
would have a detrimental effect in Alaska. If nothing
else, it would enable parties to hold large areas of ground
without an attempt to develop it and thus deprive others
of a chance to acquire a holding. It is known that this
system is in vogue in many regions, where a man would
be better off with one claim and developing that than
holding the country in the hopes that someone would buy
him out.

“TOO MUCH WEIGHT
FOH me; says enis
Culmination of a boxing match
was near on the eve of Memorial
Day when Steve “Tomcat” Cotick,
i prize fisticuffer from the U. S. S.
Discoverer, was challenged by
Enis Nikeroff, Seward middle
weight flash in the pan.
In the absence of Joe “Muscle
bound” Quinn, Harry Hazelton
acted as the “Tomcat’s” manager.
Comparison of the two contenders
for Resurrection Bay honors on
the Fourth of July revealed ine
qualities, however.
The “Tomcat” tipped the scales
at 150 pounds flat and Nikeroff at
120, bedside.
“The ‘Tomcat’ is no match for
i me.” said Enis, “but I shall try to
find a challenger for him.”

COAST LINE CHANGES j.
Territory now being surveyed by
the U. S. C. and G. S. S. Discoverer
on Afognak and Shuyak Islands is
reported to have a coast line mark
edly different than the charts now
available indicate. A number of
sizeable bays have been found j
which are not shown at all, and j
the shore line in general is much I
more broken than present maps j
show.
Mrs. R. J. Sipe and Mrs. George
A. Nelson, wives of Lieutenants Sipe
and Nelson, of the U. S. S. Discover
er, which is now to the Westward,
were departures on that craft Tues
day to spend the next several weeks
to the Westward.
The Arnott murder case at An
chorage went to the jury Tuesday
afternoon at 3:15 and at 10:30 last
evening had not yet returned a i
verdict.
IS BETTER NOW
Mrs. Robert W. Manthey, whose j
back was thought to be seriously j
injured Sunday evening in a se- j
vere fall, is today resting more;
easily in her home. The fall caused
a form of concussion of the spine
and temporary paralysis of the
limbs which was remedied after a
1 few hours rest and treatment under
the doctor’s care. I
