Oregon Senator Seeks
 to Suspend Annual La
 bor on Mining Claims

General Bulletin No. 10, issued by the American Mining Congress on March Il, says that various mining interests have called attention to the fact that it would be desirable for Con gress to again suspend the requirement for performing assessment work on mining claims. Under the present law this assessment work must be per formed within the fiscal year begin ning July and endit 2 June 30 the fol- lowing year Assessment work for f92l-l922 must be performed before June 30, 1922 Due to inactivity in the mining industry and the fact that many mines are closed, it has been pointed out that the requirement. to perform assessment work this Sear will prove a serious hardship. Some months ago it was indicated that Congress would not further suspend the assessment re- quirement, but appreciating the condi- tion of the inning industry, Senator Stanfeld, of Ore gon, has introduced a resolution suspending the assessment work until June 30. 1924 /"

said that "a very general let down
