STATE MINING LAW CHANGES

An explanation Of the new annual
mine assessment work law, requiring
500 worth Of work on each claim dur
ing the current year ending July I of
each year, has been made by N. b.
Tomblin, secretary Of the Colorado
Metal Mining Association, for the
benefit Of prospectors and miners gen.
orally throughout the state.
Considerable inquiry has come to
this office concerning the changes in
the annual mine assessment laws
which became effective in July, 1922.
The new law provided that the
period for annual assessment work
on unpatented mining claims begins
and ends at IL o'clock noon, July LIST
of each year, instead Of midnight, De-
cember 3lst, as under the old law.
No change in the old law was made
other than fixing the commencement
and expiration Of assessment period.
and consequently the old regulations
and customs regarding assessment
work were not affected.
There Is general belief that under
the old law, thirty days of grace was
allowed. permitting work to be COM
menced before the end of the year and
continued on the following year. The
courts have held that IL work was be-
gun before the end Of the year and
thereafter prosecuted with due dill
gence until completed, the claim
would not forfeit, even tho the work
was not completed within the year
for which the representative work was
done.
It does not appear that the new
law made any change in old regula-
tions Of customs other than date Of
commencement and expiration Of as
sessment year, and therefore there is
no reason to believe that the courts
will not continue to hold that the law
Is satisfied II the work is begun be-
fore the end Of the assessment year
and continued with due diligence until
completed.
However, if possible, It is much
better and safer to have the work
completed before the expiration Of the
time allowed for doing Il. The ques-
tion Of whether or not the work was
continued with due diligence cannot
then arise.
