Oregon Senator Seeks
to Suspend Annual La
bor on Mining Claims
General Bulletin No. 10, issued by
the American Mining Congress on
March 11, says that “various mining
interests have called attention to tl e
■ fact that it would be desirable for Con
gress to again suspend the requirement
for performing assessment work on
mining claims. Under the present law
tiiis assessment work must tie per
formed within the fiscal year begin
ning July 1 and end'll g June BO the fol
lowing year Assessment work for
19“ 1 -1022 must be performed before
June 30. 1922. Due to inactivity in the
mining industry and the fact that many
mines are closed, it has been pointed
out that the requirement to perform
assessment, work this year will prove a
serious hardship. Some months ago it
was indicated that Congress would not
further suspend the assessment re
quirement, but appreciating the condi
tion of the mining industry. Senator
Stanfield, of Oregon,-has introduced a
resolution suspending the assessment
work until June 30. 1924 “
