WANT ASSESSMENT CHANGE
The Northwest Mining Conven
tion, held recently in Spokane, pass
ed the following resolution, which
will be of interest to everyone in
the mining and prospecting busi
ness:
Whereas, the Assessment Ad
provides that annual assessment
work on mining claims in the Unit
ed States and Alaska be performed
on or before the 31st day of Dec
ember of each year and;
Whereas, the climatic conditions
ip western states are such that a
prospector is hampered by being
compelled to adhere to the previs
ions of the law, often resulting in
the relinquishment of valuable
claims,
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the Northwest Mining Convention,
assembled at Spokane, Washington,
February 28—March 5, that the
Congress of the United States be
hertby respectfully petitioned to
amend the present law to provide
that annual work on mining: claims
be performed on or before Septem
ber 1st of each year, so that pros
pectors may perform such work
within the period ef the best cli
matic conditions.
