ON ASSESSMENT WORK
The Bill just signed by the
President tor the extension of
time on assessment work will
be a great help Jto the property
owners in Alaska. Under it
the time for doing the work has
been changed to the end of the
fiscal year, instead of the calen
dar year.
The prospector will now be
able to utilize the long hours of
daylight in May and June for
his work, and will be able to
travel over dry roads to get to
his property, instead ot bucking
storms and rapidly shortening
days in the fall. There will
be an added advantage, i. e. any
likely looking prospects can be
followed up during the season
thus developing the country.
It is a very satisfactory bill
all round, and one which will
be greatly appreciated by all
those interested.
