 ING FROM CONFLICTING STAT
 TUTES ALL CLAIMS ARE SUB
 tUCT TO EXEMPTION.
 While local attorneys have been up holding the right of all persons in the Iterritory to claim exemption from as sessment work on mining claims un- ter federal resolution, owing to a slight confusion in resolutions pass ed by congress early this year there was room for miXup that might have resulted in legal tangle. In Au gust this year a resolution was adopt ed providing that five mining claims was all that any person could have exempted from assessment work.
 It was general in it's application and was not intended to apply to Alaska The question arose as to whether O. not the limitation might be construed to apply to Alaska.
 Before he left Washington last sum mer, Delegate Grigsby introduced a resolution eliminating the limitation as to Alaska. After his return from Alaska to Washington in October, he went to work on the proposition and
 fter passing the house earlier in the session 1t was likewise passed by the senate on November 6, being signed by the President shortly after ward.
