A Washington dispatch aays: c
With little debate the senate passed y
the bill extending the time for do*
ing assessment work on all mining
claims until July 1, 1921, instead
of December 31, as provided in the
old law which became effective
again when the wartime resolutions
were not adopted again, The bill 1
new goes to the house for consider- *
stion and it is generally believed
that it will be passed there without
serious opposition. In 1917, con
gress first passed a resolution doing -
»way with the assessment work for .
that year and the following In 1919
» similar resolution was adopted.
fhis year it was introduced again *
)ut congress rejected it, to go back
to the old system. A storm of pro
test was made because of the short “
period yet ullowed to do the work
tnd it was for this reason that the
ixtension of time was given instead
>f abolishing the assessment werh "
irovisiofl altogether.

George Proprety Ready
For Heavy Operations
Having done considerable pre
liminary work this fall in the way
of surface stripping and prospect
ing for the best sites .for diamond
drill operations, the Algunioan De
velopment Ge„ who have the George
group under bond, have closed
down for the winter but wiil re
sume operations as soon as weather
conditions will permit next spring.
This group is composed of nine
Ralins—Mamie, Bessie, Gold Crown,
Copper Queen, Copper King, Copper
Lord. Castle Rock, Helena, and Royal
—own'd by W. B. George, of Stewart,
md i. George, of Vancouver, B. C.;
<itun: d on the south side of Bear
-iver, four miles west of the Nass di
vide and six mile.-; east of the head of
■a:!, at Red Cliff, of the Portland Canal
Short Lino Railroad. At the b.v-e of
he hill on which the claims are «dtu
•tcd. River valley has an elevn
;■ a t-f SCO feet. The upper camp Is
MoO feet. The hill is very steep, but
i horse pack-trail could be built with
i good grade from the valley to the
ipper camp, to which at present there
s a foot-traii. In the event of It he
mming a producing property, no difli
iulty would be encountered in con
tracting an aerial tramway.
The country-rcck is greenstone, lo
ally called the “Bear River forma
ion." after McConnell. There are on
he property several veins and an ex
ensive mineralised zone of from 70 to
0 feet in width lying very Hat and
triking N. 70 degrees E. This large
lineralization occupies an altered,
sore or less silicifled area in the
reenstone, and in wliieh iron sul
hldes are disseminated, accompanied
1 some places by chalcopyrite Com
ined pyrites and chalcopyrite also oc
ur In bunches. There is a tunnel in
lls ore-body 105 feet long which is
radically barren, the surface over the
innel showing very little mineraliza
on. This zone might develop a large
tonnage of low-grade ore, Mr. Clothier
■says.
About 600 feet east of the tunnel, at
an elevation of 4,000 feet. Is a strong
cropping of three veins contained in
a width of 50 feet. Ljttie mineraliza
tion can be seen on the ;urface in the
filling between these veins, but It is
very probable that they are ail the
same rre-zone. The best ore in all
three will aggregate 10 feet, averaging
ft a t<n in gold, 00 cents a ton silver,
and 3 j,t.- cent, copper. The veins
strike about N. 55 degrees N., or a
variation of 55 degrees from the strike
of the main zone mentioned above,
standing practically vertical and can
he traced on the surface for over 1,000
feet. Shots have been put in at sev
eral places, exposing iron and copper
sulphides.

TO THE PUBLIC
As I expect to serve you at the
next session of the Legislature, ]
want the interest and co-operatiuo
of the public. If there are any who
have definite ideas of needed laws
or changes in those now operative,
which are within the jurisdiction of
the Territory, I invite them \o sub
mit them to me prior to March M.
next, that I may give them atten
tion and some study.
I am to represent the people and
I realize that I need public support.
