WANT ASSESSMENT CHANGE

The North~est Mining Convsn- tion, held recently in Spokane. pass cd the following resolution, which will be of intcTest to everyone iA the mining and prospecting busi- ness:
 Whereas, the Assessment Act provides that annual assessment work on mining clailns in tI.e Unit ed States and Alaska be performed on or before the 31st day of Deo- embeT of each year and;
 Whereas, the climatic conditions in western states are such that a prospector is hampered by being compelled to adhepe to the previs- ions of tine law, often resulting in the relinquishment of valuable claims,
 Now. therefore, be it resolved by the Northwest Mining Convention, assembled at Spokane, Washington, February 28-Masch 5, that the Congress of the United States be hereby respectfully petitioned to amend the present law to provide that annual work on mining claims be performed on or before Septem- Der 1st of each year. SO that pros- pectoEs may perform such work within the period of the best eli matio conditions.
