SEND MINE BILL
TO PRESIDENT
Westerners Hope Assessment Meas
ure VIII Be Signed st Once to
Protect Claim Holders.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The mine
assessment bill, on the trail of
which Senator Ashurst, Democrat,
OF Arizona, spent several hours
yesterday, was sent today to Pres
ident Wilson from the White house
executive offices. The measure pre-
viously had been referred to the
interior department for a recon-
mendation and both Secretary
Payne and Assistant Secretary
Vogelsang are understood to have
recommended that it be signed.
While the president has until
Jan. to act on the measure, Sena-
tors and representatives from the
western states hope that he will
approve it Immediately. The meas
ure extends for six months the
time in which annual assessment
work to the value of 500 must be
done on mining claims. Under ex-
listing laws this time expires at
midnight tomorrow night, and the
claim is made that unless the
measure is approved before that
time many claim-holders will run
the risk of losing their property.
