ASSESSMENT BILL
 PASSES THE HOUSE

The Miner is in receipt of a wire from Congressman Carl Hayden, dat ed at Washington, August 1, in which he states that his bill changing the date in which annual work is changed from the annual to the fiscal year had passed the house, with a strong probability of it's becoming a law. The feature of the bill is in the change of time in which annual labor shall be performed. Labor on mines for the year 1921 must be done by the 1st day of January, 1922, and labor for the year 1922 must be done by the first day of July, 1922, at noon, and there after all annual labor must be com- pleted by the first day of July in each year. Whether work shall be com pleted by the first day of July, 1922, for that year is not clear, it being rather probable that the fiscal year for 1922 will end on the 30th day of June, 1923. This would be in line with the closing of fiscal years, al- though it would give IS months for the performance of labor for that year, which is not given this year.
 The Miner will ascertain the real intent of the law, should it pass the senate, and will publish it in full, as it is important to the mining fra terni4y.

Although formal acCeptances still

night from three of the men Sc

OF those close TO Mr.. Harding was
that the whole question was as good
