TWO MEMORIALS
 ON ASSESSMENT . WORK PRESENTED
Julien Desires Change Laws Relative Assessment Work
 On Placer Ground.

Two memorials or particular in terst to mining operators and hold CTS of placer ground and of general interest to the Territory were in troduced in the House of Represen- tatives by V. A. Julien, this morn ing Mr. Julien, who is a prominent mining operator and dredgeman of Seward Peninsula, declares that favorable action in the matter by Congress would save the Territory annually many thousands of dollars.
 One of the memorials introduced raises an objection to present reg ulations requiring assessment work to be done on each claim of a group It recites that much of the placer mining ground in the Territory can be worked only by dredges or hy- draulicking, for which reason large groups of claims must be secured by the owner before the expense of installing necessary machinery is justifiable. It maintains that no development work on each claim is iltthtd HpI lo IL Ol tiiif feiht eAtt' the claim has been prospected. It is claimed that the objectionable feature is the cause of failure to patent much mineral land. resulting in financial loss to the Government. It is recommended that the law be so changed that actual work in min ing of one or more placer claims in the group be accepted as perform ed for all claims in the group, where such claims are so situated that they can be worked success fully only by dredging or hydrauliek- ing"
 Would Change Assessment
 The second memorial relates to a change in present assessment work requirements It is declared that large number Gf placer mining claims are SO situated that the an nual labor required to be performed is of no value in their development and that expenditures entailed in the annual assessment work is. up on such claims. an absolute waste and "serves no purpose except tc technically comply with the law. It is further claimed that even after the ground has been prospected 1T many cases there is delay in be ginning operations on account of { lack of roads for transportation o 1 supplies.
 ] The memorial recommends tha owners of placer mining claims, "ir | lieu of the annual labor required C be performed, be permitted to pa! slO0 for each claim to the road fun' of the Division in which such min ing claims are situated" IL is sai' that such a change would material. aid in the speedier development o many mining regions.

v. HAMMOND
HIT HARD BY
DRY AGENTS
First Time Since Country
Went Dry That w. Ham
mond was Raided

Prohibition enforcement agents struck
two sudden blows in West Hammond
and Indiana Harbor yesterday evening
bringing to light evidence that the IL
licit liquor traffic is not entirely dead
in Indiana Harbor and that a fertile
may exist in the hitherto unworked ter
ritory across the state line.
Over at the West Hammond Inn on
State Line St, the boys were lined UP
at the bar nominating their poison
and business was moving along nicely
when squad of agents from the Chi
cago office REINFORCED by several from
the Hammond office suddenly entered
the place and took possession.
Business stopped and with express
sions Of regret the patrons watched the
spongemen load Up tho saloons hard
stock and drive away in the direction
Of the Hammond federal building. Tho
booty Of the raiders consisted Of IS
quarts of bottled t.ye. vile stun with
fake bond stamps, ! raft OF bottles of
cordials. three gallons Of homemade
gin. three quarts OF ready mixed ginger
ale high balls and two suitcases filled
with assorted cordials and such stuff
The raid was made on Warrants is
sued from L. S. Commissioner Mason
at Chicago and the proprietors of the
Inn will probably be taken before Judge
Lands.
Over at Indiana Harbor, the catch was
an important one. Several agents paid
visit TO the place of Nick Sudovich.
1851 Pennsylvania ave. Nick was a
sort of wholesaler or distributing agent
for his territory The officers found
two flve-gallon jugs filled with ordinary
moonshine and fourgallon jug of
colored moonshinc. Another jug has
only few ounces left in II
Nick was not at home when his
guests arrived but the evidence was
there Nick came later. lie had been
racing his car around making deliveries
and rushed in to get another batch
when he was arrested. lie had a note
book in which he kept his accounts
at times proprietors Of ornonshine par
lors have owed him as mucn as 500
and $500. This little book furnished
the raiders with some new leads.
Nick was arraigned before Judge
Klotz in the Hammond city court this
morning. one Of the officers showed
the court a small quantity of crude
opium which had also been found when
Nick was searched. He was asked how
he came to have opium in his possession.
L dunno. protested Nick. The
cheeldren lots otimes play with my
pants at night an I guess maybe they
put him there"
That was all the satisfactlor they
could get out of Nick on the opium
so they concentrated on the
booze business.
1t all resulted in Nick being given a
fine Of $500 and penal farm sentence
Of six months. The court also ordered
the automobile used IN transporting the
hootch 10 be seized. This is the stiffest
sentence handed out in a state court
for liquor violation in 4 long time.
