Assessment Work
Requirements
As a result of copies of mining
records being forwarded to the
Department of Mines under
Chapter 95 of the Twenty-first
Session Laws, it has been no
ticed that a large majority of the
recorded assessment work affi
davits are incorrect and that
there is a general misunder
standing of whet constitutes
legal assessment work. In case
of a court contest, an improper
affidavit or wrong type of work
or expense represented as assess
ment work might not stand as
evidence of legal right to the
claim. Although the courts us
ually lean strongly toward a per
son's honest intent, it is better
to play safe.
Someone periodically starts a
move in Congress to change the
assessment work year, but at

present the annual deadline for
completion of the assessment
work is July 1 at noon. Work
is not required for the assess
ment year in which the claim is
staked. An affidavit stating that
the assessment work has been
done is not legally required, but
should be recorded, in the prop
er recording office, each year to
prove that the claim is being
legally held and to prevent the
possibilities of legal difficulties
in future sales, leases, or proof
of ownership. A properly pre
pared assessment work affidavit
should contain the name and lo
cation of the claim and the
name of the owner (or owners)
of the claim, a statement of the
amount of work and kind of
work performed, the actual
value of the work, the dates
during which the work was
done, the assessment year for
which the work was done, and
the circumstances under which
the work was done if by other
than the owner. The affidavit
must be sworn to before a notary
public or postmaster before re
cording to make it legal.
Work which legally consti
tutes annual assessment labor
must be such that it benefits the
claim and is done for the pur
pose of discovering or mining
minerals. The mere cutting of
brush each year or cutting of

Established
firewood have been held not to
count as assessment work. The
construction of a house on the
claim for the housing of miners
is legal assessment work, but if
built outside the claim, it is not.
Work on a mill or treatment
plant is not assessment work,
and neither are the expenses or
labor involved in transporting
tools, machinery, or personnel
to or from the claim, nor docs
the price of tools or machinery
count. Building roads, trails,
flumes, ditches, drains, either
inside or outside the claim, for
the purpose of mining or ex
ploring the claim will count.
Also, any actual act of mining is
assessment work. A reasonable
allowance for the use of ma
chinery or animals is assessment
work, and so is the value of
powder and fuse used. Wages
paid a watchman, if one is neces
sary to protect the property, will
count. The unwatering of a shaft
for an inspection, or the taking
of samples for assay, do not
count as legal assessment work.
Work for a group of claims
that are contiguous and under
common ownership may all be
done on one claim or in one
place, but it must benefit the
whole group, not just one claim.
In computing the value of assess
ment work, the current wage
rates and equipment allowances
of the vicinity are to be used.

Meet a man
with 15 mouths
to feed
Frank S.Corda farms240 acres in California’s Salinas
Valley. We know Mr. Corda well because Standard
Oil Company of California fuels the power that
tills his land. By replacing muscles with machines,
as Mr. Corda has done, the average U. S. farmer
produces enough food for 15 people. One hundred
years ago a good farmer produced enough to feed
only five people. Mechanized farming, powered by
oil, has made the difference.

Insect “bomber” demonstrates one of the ways
petroleum helps make farms more productive
and profitable. Airborne insecticides made by
Standard’s subsidiary, California Spray
Chemical Corporation, are so effective that
they save western farmers millions of dollars
a year in crop losses. Other petroleum prod
ucts save time and labor . . . for example, a
tractor can work 10 acres in the time a team
of horses takes to plow two. We also had a
hand in that, because Standard developed the
first compounded lubricating oil that made
high-speed diesels for tractors practical. Fuels
and lubricants for farm machines, yield-boost
ing weed killers, roof coatings for barns, stock
dips, detergents to keep milk equipment spot
less, bottled gas for refrigeration, cooking and
heating—they’re all on the long list of items
supplied to western farms by Standard. And
you, too, benefit from each new way Standard
scientists increase the yield of farms ... be
cause you may be one of the 15 people Mr.
Corda feeds. Questions or comments about our
Company are always welcome. Write: Standard
