MONIES APPEAL TO
WASHINGTON GET RESULTS

In last weeks Nugget the informa-
ton was given the public that the
Victoria would make July sailing
from Seattle, leaving that port for
Nome on or about July 5th,s Fol-
lowing on the heels of an announce
ment that there would be no July
sailing the Nome public no doubt
wondered why the change in plans.
The reason is this.
At a meeting held by the Chamber
of Commerce. Agent Carroll stated
that the dismantling of Fort St.
Michael was to be conducted under
government supervision and that. the
tonnage destined for the outside
would be carried by Army transports
thus reducing the tonnage available
for private carriers. II this tom
mage could be turned over to his
company the added freight would
make profitable the July sailing.
The Chamber of Commerce at
once autographed Delegate suther-
land and thru his intervention the
government vas prevailed upon to
change its transport plans and turn
over the freight to the Alaska Steam
ship Company. This done Nome II
now assured July sailing Of the

COMPLETION OF ASSESSMENT
WORK AND RECORDING
OF AEFIDAVITS

Twelve O'Clock noon today. July
let, 1922, terminates. the period OF
time in which assessment work on
mining claims is to be completed
for the year 1922.
The Territorial law making obi
gatory the filing OF affidavits OF as
sessment work has been abolished
by the Appellate Court. which held
that claim owners must perform the
annual labor on their claims but
that recording OF the work is not an
obligation carrying with 1t forfei-
ture clause.
Howe,fr an appreciable advan-
tage lies with the claim owner who
records his performance of annual
labor. In case Of protest Or re-
stalking Of property on the assump-
ton of non performance of labor
the owner who has recorded his
labor can force the other party to
prove non performance of work. If
no record of labor is filed the charge
of non performance must be proved
by the owner Of the claim. In
other words no record filed for per
foi nance of labor places the burden
of proof upon your shoulders. where
as, il your record is fled the other
person must prove that you failed
to do your assessment work.
