NOME'S APPEAL TO
WASHINGTON GET RESULTS
In last weeks Nugget the informa
tion was given the public that the
Victoria would make a July sailing
from Seattle, leaying that port for
Nome on or about July 5th* Fol
lowing on the heels of an announce
ment that there would be no July
sailing the Nome public no doubt
wondered why the change in plrfns.
The reason is this.
At a meeting held by the Chamber
of Commerce. Agent Carroll stated
that the dismantling of Fort St.
Michael was to be conducted under
goverment supervision and that the
tonnage destined "for the outside
would be carried by Army transports
thus reducing the tonnage available
for private carriers. If this ton
nage could be turned over .to his
company the added freight would
make profitable the July sailing.
The Chamber of Commerce at
Once telegraphed D< legate Suther
land and thru his intervention the
government was prevailed upon to
change its transport plans and”turn
over the freight to the Alaska 8team
ship Company. This done Home is
now assured a July sailing of the
Victoria.

COMPLETION OF A8SB8HMENT
WORK AND RECORDING
OF AFFIDAVITS
Twelve o’clock noon today. July
let, 1922. terminates the period ot
time in which assessment work on
mining claim* is to be completed
for the year 1922.
The Territorial law making obli
gatory the filing of affidavits of as
sessment work has been abolished
by the Appellate Court, which held
that claim owners must perform the
annual labor on their claims but
that recording of the work is not an
obligation carrying with it a forfei
ture clause.
However an appreciable advan
tage lies with the claim owner whe
records his performance of annua
labor. In case of protest or re
staking of property on the assump
tion of non performance of laboi
the owner who has recorded his
labor can force the other party tc
prove non performance of work. II
no record of labor is filed the charge
of non performance must be prove*
by the owner of the claim. I-r
other words no record filed for per
foimance of labor places the burder
of proof upon your shoulders, whert
ns. if your record is filed the oth*r-'
person must prove that you failet
to do your assessment work.
