Assessment Work.

Representative Sweet of Idaho Sc
C ired the passage of his bill to amend
t1e laws relating to mining claims.
This bill is similar to the bill intro
duced by Bel of Colorado, which
passed the House at the extra ses-
sion, except that Bells bin suspend
ed the operation of the law requiring
800 worth of work to be performed
annually on mining claims located
since May 10, 1874, for the year 1898,
while Sweets bill suspends the law
for 1894. 1t was claimed that Bell S
bill passed the house so late in the
year as to be of little benefit to the
miners. There was a great deal of
opposition to the bill from sections
in which mining corporations own a
large number of claims, and south Da-
kota and the Second Congressional
District of Colorado were exempted
from the provisions of the law
