SiiM HOPE FOR
1921 Ex EMPTlON

That there Is little hope of exemp- tion on assessment work for 1921 and 1922 is the warning issued today to local mining men by Coan;y Recorder II. l.. Hutchinson.
 According to information received direct from Washington by MT Hutch ison. Secretary of the Interior A E. Fall has declared himself unalterably opposed 10 the passage of the bill in troduced by Senator Bursum. of New Mexico. providing tor exemption on patent and mining claims for l92I-22. and has stated that the will not rec ommend any extension of the exemp- ton already granted for I290.
 The Bursum bill has not yet come to a vote in either senate or house. but Senator Ashurst and Congress- man Hayden have both given il as their opinion, says Mir. Hutchinson. that there is small hope of it's ever beir. enacted into law.
 Tt looks as though the safest thing Cochise county mining men can do," said the county recorder today. "is 10 go ahead and prepare to do their 1921 assessment work Under the circum- stances there is little use in waiting for a further extension"
 Last year local claim holders were on pins and needles during the last few days of December. waiting for the president to sign the 1929 ex- emption bill When the measure was finally approved. many of them had already departed for their claims in an effort to complete the required as- sessment work before midnight of the last day of the year
