Assessment on Mining Claims for 1917
Suspended.

The following item appeared in the
Wallace Press-Times on Sept 23rd
This Is welcome news to many pros
pectors and mining claim holders who
as yet have not performed the annual
labor on their claims as required by
law. Secretary Ravenel Macbeth de
serves much praise for his untiring
efforts in behalf of the mining industry
of the state and especially in the aid
given the prospector and less important
mine owner. When III the city some
six weeks ago he most earnestly adj
vocated the cooperation of all men
in the state interested directly or in
directly in our important mining in
dustry, from the prOspector to the
large mine operators and business men
I by joining the association Mr.. Mac
beth so ably represents.
He is right in his claim that with Il
/ large membership the association has
/ far more prestige in obtaining nation
/ al and state laws for the benefit Of
mining.
/ Secretary Ravenal Macbeth of the
( Idaho State Mine association just
/ received a telegram from Congress
man Addison T. Smith telling of the
I passing 10y the house Of the senate
resolution providing for the waving
of assessment work on mining prop
critics during the current year.
This action by both houses Of con
greSs is directly the result of the eff
forts of the Idaho State Mine asso-
citation. Senator Walsh of Montana
on the suggestion of Secretary Mae
beth first introduced and secured the
passage Of joint resolution providing
that those in the service of the United
States could suspend assessment work
during the period of the war and foT
six months thereafter. Numerous
prospectors have taken advantage OF
this provision.
Following this came much discus
