MINING LAWS.
Chance in Assessment Year-General
Revision Planned.

OndnQG III FSSCoSiiCiiN ~"t'
Revision Planned.
Revision of the mining laws is one
of the things which Representative
Rhodes. the chairman of the house
committee on mines and mining, has
in mind for early consideration. 1t is
improbable that any action will be
undertaken at this session.
The committee is also considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of legislation which
would allow the assessment work year
TO end some time in the summer or
Autumn. At present the assessment
work year is on a calendar year basis.
For various reasons it frequently Is
desirable to do work of this character
near the end of the period. With the
assessment work year ending on De-
.cember 81 there are at least two
months prior to the expiration OF the
neriod in which little work can be
done on mining claims, due to wea-
Their conditions.
A bill is now before congress pro-
viding for the ending OF the assess
ment year on June 80. Some object TO
this on the ground that the snow Is
not off the mountains in consider
able part Of the mining area in time
10 do the work during the month OF
lime. some are of the opinion that 1t
would be better to terminate the as
sessment work year July 81 others
want it to end August 81, while stiii
others think it would he best to have
the assessment work year end Octo-

law, and fully explained in instruc-
tions on forms 1O4O-A and 1910 for

Business expenses are the principal
allowable deductions in computing

bibits the deduction of household and |

terials and supplies, rent, repairs,

STOP SPEEDERS ON
AUGUSTA ROAD

Speeding on the Augusta highway,
between Lexington and Columbia, has
become so common and dangerous
that the authorities have decided to
put stop to it if possible. Rural
Policeman Lown and Sheriff E. Aus
tin Roof yesterday held a consulta-
ton and decided to go after viola
law provides that a speed Of 25 miles
an hour shall be the limit. Super
visor Steele will be asked to have
some signs made showing the speed
limit. which will be conspicuously
posted along the road. They desire
that everybody have due and timely
notice, but expect at once to take
steps to regulate traffic on the road
in the interest Of the public safety.
The road is being maintained in fine
shape and doubtless the temptation is
great. Fast driving is said to be rule
rather than the exception and many
expect every day to hear of some ser
| ious accident.
| Mr.. Lown was on the road Tues
day afternoon and found it necessary
| to warn more than one motorist. He
! and Sheriff Roof urge everybody to
| take notice that hereafter those who
I drive beyond the legal limit will be
! hailed into court.
