HAYDEN TELLS OF
 ASSESSMENT WORK

The following letter has just been received from Carl Hayden, Arizona member of the house of representa- tives:
 Washington, D. C., Aug Ii, 1917. To the Editor of the Silver Belt.
 Miami, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:| enclose herewith d copy of senate joint resolution No. 7S which passed the senate on July 9, and which has been favorably re- ported to the house with amend nients. As amended the resolution would suspend the annual assess ment work on mining claims during the year 1917 upon the condition that each locator shall file mo- tice with the county recorder ask ing for the benefits of the new act.
 The report of the committee shows that the secretary of the in- te1ior is opposed to general sus- pension of assessment work dur ing the war, although he has final ton for the present year. The members of congress from the east ern states are usually inclined to follow the recommendations of the secretary but without his whole HtdElGu SuppOlI IL VIII pC ollhS ulI to pass the bill.
 There is a general understanding that nothing but emergency legis- lation which is absolutely essential to the conduct of the war with Ger many shall be considered at this time, so that there is much uncer- tainty about obtaining a vote on this bill. If the resolution is to be passed at all it should become law before the first of October, and believe that the owners of min ing claims will be safe in waiting to commence their assessment work until that date, but no longer.

 This act shall not be deemed to amend or repeal s. J. Res. 33 of the SiXty-fifth Congress.
