Act of 1880, which is now amended by said Act of 1921. The special Act of 1912 did not undertake to fix or define the assessment period; that was determined by the provi- sions of the Act of 1880 as the cal endar year. The main purpose of the Act of 1921 was to change the assessment period from the calendar to the fiscal year. The requirements of the special Act of 1912 with re- spect to assessment work for the year of location should not be deemed repleaded or superseded by the later Act of 1921.
 Referring to the engineers in quiries, would state that in my opinion an Alaska placer claim To. cated pursuant to the Act of August 1, 1912, becomes forfeited for failure to complete the required assessment work during the assessment period in accordance with the provisions of of the Act of March 2, 1907; that the resumption of work will not protect or preserve such a location, and that the Act of August 24, 1921, changed the assessment perioid from the cal
 endar to the fincal year beginning al 12 o'clock, July 1, with respect tC Alaska placer claims upon which an nual work for the year of location must still be performed"
