.EXTE: NS|ON IS
GRANTED FOR
ANNUAL LABOR
President Signs Bill Last
Day of Year and Prevents
Claim Jumpers from Filing
Congress to Give No More
Relief in Matter of Per-
forming Development Work

Mining men who did not perform
500 annual assessment work on their
claims in 1920 are given until July
!, 1921 in which to do the work, under
an act of congress signed last Fri
day, by President Wilson.
The presidents lastminute action in
signing the bill, before January /,
prevented an army of claim jumpers
from taking possession Of mining
claims on which assessment work had
not been done for 1920. In many
parts Of the country, men were eager
ly. awaiting the advent of the new
year in order to take possession Of
claims which, had the president not
signed the exemption bill, would tech
nicalW have been abandoned
$500 LABOR ON CLAIMS
Under the law, 5000 in assessment
work must be done during 1921 on
claims on which no assessment work was
done in 1920. Many mining men, how
ever, performed the necessary asses
sment work in 1920 and were not af-
fected by the recently-signed measure
In idaho couny, much interest de-
veloped over the president Il course
with reference to the bill, as scores
of minors had failed TO perform the
800 in labor on their claims.
Mining claims were exempted from
assessment work during the war years,
in order that labor might be diverted
to war work. The exemption was
continued in 1919.
NO MORE LENIENCY
1t was made clear in debates in
over the new bill, however,
that this is the last extension to be
granted, and no further relief may be
expcced by the mining men relative TO
work.
The bill extending the time for doing
the work until July l follows:
Z" An ,act extending the time for
the doing of annual assessment
work on mining claims for the
year 1920 to and including July !

A. OF c. BUREAU CALLS ON THE
STEAMBOAT OWNERS TO
NAME RATES.
CAUSED BY FREIGHT RATES
Traffic and Transportation Bureau
viii Mako Survey-To Insure Sue
cess Of the Enterprise General
Meeting Is Held.

New Orleans.-With a view to ar
ranging for the complete revival of
river transportation on the streams
OF Louisiana and Mississippi. the traf-
nc and transportation bureau Of the
Association OF Commerce has called
upon all steamboat owners to submit
definite proposals on rates and condi-
tions for inaugurating service De-
tween New Orleans and different
points in the two states.
The proposals are to include tho
scope OF the possible service Of the
different boats, the schedule of rates
TO be charged and the minimum ton
mage to insure success. When these
proposals are in the hands Of the
commerce bureau they will be trans
mitted to the merchants and shippers
OF New Orleans with an injury as to
whether these business houses will
guarantee sufficient support to make
the lines success.
The move to revive the state water
way routes was inspired by the ex-
cessively high freight rates from GER
tain points in Louisiana and M1ssis-
sippi to New Orleans A general
meeting of merchants and shippers at
the Association of Commerce recent
ly authorized the traffic and transpor-
tatfon bureau to call for the propos-
ais from the steamboat men for the
new routes.
At this meeting steamboat owners
assured the business men that much
OF the freight now moved from inland
points could be brought her by water
at saving Of from rs to so per cent
in transportation costs. When the
definite proposals from the steam
boat men are in, the traffic and trans
portation bureau will make a survey
to find IL the necessary two-way car
goes to insure the success OF the en-
terprise can be guaranteed.

declared Continued unsatisfactory
