Washington News - Letter
By Mary Lee Council
Secretary to E. L. (Bob) Bartlett
Delegate in Congress from Alaska
Assessment Work
’Delegate Bartlett stated this
week that it would be well for
mining claim holders to be pre
pared to perform assessment work
for the present and succeeding
assessment year.
His advice was given following
a canvass of members of both
House and Senate in an effort to
ascertain what the prospects
would be for even a simple mora
torium bill applying principally
to gold miners in Alaska.
Earlier this year, Delegate Bart
lett and Senator Ecton of Mon
tana introduced similar legislation
seeking to waive assessment work
during the national emergency.
Several weeks later, Delegate
Bartlett introduced a second bill
when it became apparent that a
sizeable portion of the mining in
dustry itself opposed such a wai
ver and when certain government
agencies stated that the waiver
should not apply to minerals nec- 1
essarv for national defense pur
poses. The second bill incorpor
ated a number of other provisions
drafted by the Bureau of Land
Management and curtailed the
waiver of assessment work to gold
and related minerals. As Delegate
Bartlett stated when he intro
duced the bill, he was not commit
ted to the provisions of the legis
lation but sought to obtain the re
action of the mining industry,
both from individuals and groups.
The response to that measure has
been vigorously in opposition to
the measure, with few exceptions.
“There is a preponderant and
rather strongly-held feeling ag
ainst any further moratorium. I
do not believe, as the result of
the conversations made, that it
would be possible to pass a mea
sure for the United States, in
cluding Alaska, or for Alaska
alone. I dislike that prediction. I
dislike it chiefly because I feel
honestly that the gold miners are
entitled to relief. .And I dislike to
go on record at this date because
there is always a possibility that
the situation may suddenly change
and at some later date the opposi
tion to legislation of this type may
disappear and a bill or bills may
be passed. But I do not think so.
“As of May 3, when this is
written,, I am bound to say to you
that claim holders should be pre
pared to do assessment work.”
