Owing to a misconception regarding
the terms of tlie various congressional
enactments suspending assessment
work on mining claims during the
years 1917-1918-1919, the impression b
held by many that the time for filing
affidavits of intention to hold mining
ground Jinder the non-assessment
provisions extended only to the first
day of April this year. This impres
sion Is readily given by the Resolu
tion of Jan. 25, 1919, recently publish
ed fn iliese columns. It appears
however, that the time for filing affi
davits of intention does not end until
December 31, 1919. The U. S. Com
missioner's office says many people
are of tlie belief that the filing perioc
extended no further than April 1,1919
