BARTLETT SAYS
ASSESSMENT WORK
SHOULD BE DONE
Delegate Bob Bartlett advises
mining claim holders to be pre
pared to perform assessment
work for the present and suc
ceeding assessment year.
His advice was given after a
canvass of members of both U. S.
house and senate in an effort to
ascertain what the prospects are
for even a simple moratorium bill
applying principally to gold min
ers in Alaska.
Earlier this year, Delegate
Bartlett and Senator Ecton of
Montana introduced similar legis
lation seeking to waive assess
ment work during the national
emergency.
Delegate Bartlett introduced a
second bill when it became ap
parent that a sizable portion of
the mining industry itself op
posed such a waiver and when
certain government agencies stat
ed that the waiver should not ap
ply to minerals necessary for na
tional defense purposes.
The second bill incorporated a
number of other provisions draft
ed by the bureau of land man
agement and curtailed the waiver
of assessment work to gold and
related minerals.
Gold Miners
In notifying Alaska’s commis
sioner of mines, Leo H. Saarela,
that in all probability an assess
ment waiver bill of any kind
would fail of enactment, Delegate
Bartlett stated: “I have been in
terested in the possibility of a
bill which would apply only to
Alaska and which would apply
only or principally to gold min
ors, if some formula could be dis

BROWNIES PLAN VACATION '
Leaders are needed for Brownie
troops.
They’re the miniature Girl
Scouts.
Eighteen Brownies of Troop 15
and their mamas had a Mothers’
day tea, with a Maypole cake,
flag raising and the Brownie
story told in a play. Leaders of
the young group are Mrs. Mar
jorie Hoskins, Mrs. Alice Smith
and Mrs. Edna Cook.
Vacation plans include a picnic
June 21. Further plans are un
der discussion.
At the dinner held recently by
the Brownies, more than 80 at
tended.
Among the honor guests were
Mrs. Marjorie Caffer, executive
secretary, Anchorage; Mrs. C. T.
Manning, president, of Council;
Miss Dorothy Petron, Pacific
northwest director. Films of the
King’s Lake camp were shown.
covered whereby a person could
be identified as holding a claim
exclusively or primarily for its
gold content.
“I canvassed the situation in
the congress both in the house
and senate. Prospects for enact
ment, including Alaska separate
ly, are very slight.
“I feel honestly that the gold
miners are entitled to some 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 opposition to legis
lation 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.”

I called on Bettys' dress shop
To try and case the joint,
Put passed it up entirely
For there didn't seem much point.
There's everything for women there,
But little for a man.
Dressed in that funny business,
I'd get a coat of tan.
Now underwear for the lady fair,
Is something to admire.
To be seen at best advantage tho,
You have to start a fire.
Interesting blouses and gadgets,
They have them by the score.
Baby clothes and gay gee-gaws
They surely fill the store.
Their funny names and goofy claims,
My education lacks.
I'll sing my song there's nothing wrong
With the fit of Bettys' slacks.

MAY 21—26
