SENSIBLE RECOMMENDATION.
To Permit Highways to Benefit from
Assessment Work.

Among the excellent recommends
tions made by Walter f. Clark in his
annual report as governor Of Alaska.
Is one to the effect that holders of
mineral claims be allowed to pay in
lieu of assessment work 800 per claim
per year into a fund for highway and
bridge construction. This plan has
been followed in Yukon territory with
very satisfactory results. It often
happens In Alaska that the expense
of doing assessment work is much
less than that required to send men
to the claims to do the work. In such
cases it would be to the advantage Of
the claim owners to pay the cash in
stead. There is nothing Alaska needs
more than roads, and it would certain
ly seem wise to divert their building
money now largely wasted In as
sessment work.

quartzite belts Is closely associated

several hundred feet below the upper
workings.
This tunnel encountered II feet OF

The parallel vein on the property

the shallow upper tunnel, was also
encountered in this work but has not
been fully explored by drifting as yet
However, the evidence of the perma-

manifested by ore body encountered

hardly any question but that "A fine

This ore. like the other deposits on

minerals have distinct, fairly coarse
crystalline texture and will doubtless
be easily separated in milling, and the
general results of this long cross cu'
