FAILURE TO PERFORM ASSESSMENT WORK
 FORFEITS LOCATION

Owing to considerable--con- fusion locally regarding the performance of annual assess ment work on Mining Claims; the following article from the pen of Maurice D. Leehy, re- printed from the Alaska Weekly, will serve to correct some very erroneous impress ions.-
 "In Alaska, the annual assessment work must be com pleted before noon of July 1.
 Further, the failure to fully complete assessment work in Alaska, before the end of the fiscal year for which the work is intended, absolutely for feits the location and renders it void. Such a failure in the States merely renders them sub ject to forfeiture; that is, the ground may be located by another qualified locator. But in the States an owner who failed to do the assessment work on such a mining claim may still hold it by resuming work, if he does so before any body else has made a new lo- cation on the ground. In other words, such a failure in the States merely makes the claim subject to forfeiture while the failure in Alaska actually forfeits and terminates all rights of the locator. An Alask- an location cannot be held aft CT such failure by resuming work Or by continuing work started before the end of the assessment year and not com |pleted in time. The Alaska lo- cator loses his claim even if no location is attempted by any, body else. The only way such a locator in Alaska can hold such ground is by 8 new locat- ion, and in Alaska a forfeiting |claim owner cannot make a new location of the same ground until another year has passed.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HOLDS BUSINESS LUNCH

7 gathering of business men at- tended the first monthly lunch ,sa con of the newly organized Hyder Chamber of Commerce held at the Ideal Cafe Tuesday last, and not only enjoyed an excellent luncheon, but also set in motion number of pro- jects which will ultimately re- Nflound to the benefit of the Community and district.
 Chief among the matters dis cussed by the gathering was question of devising ways and neans to secure protection for the town from the encroach- 1sSrnents of Salmon river. A com luittee of the Chamber has the matter in hand and is outlining Ca definite plan of procedure. Photographs have been taken wand a map prepared showing the area inundated during periods of high water. The plans of the committee include presentation of the situation to the Rivers and Harbors Committees of both houses of Congress and Colonel James Steese, head of the Alaska Road Commission.
 The destruction of the Sal Y Il River telephone line by lss9se in charge of the road Construction operations of the Bureau of Public roads in the vicinity of Seven Mile, was al- so subject of considerable discussion.
 GsAccording to the allegations made, it appears that the road e., struction contractors, Seims s,l Carlson, felled trees % across the telephone line at esVeral points without attempt . ing to avoid damaging the wires or to notify the owners P aat removal was necessary.
 :. otests on the part of the tele- phone officials, 1t was claimed resulted in their being told tl.s company had no permit from the Forestry bureau to establish the line and deserved 10 consideration for that reas- on
 lin addition, it was charged, lat one of the Bureau of Pub ;ie Roads officials presented : t a further defense of the contractors action the state ment that the line was "no good anyway"
 The value of the line as a means of communication be- tween Hyder and the camps and road houses along Salmon River valley was emphasized by several speakers and it's de- struction severely condemned.
 The various speeches demon strated that the new Chamber is thoroughly alive to the need for concerted action in secur- ing benefits for the community and district and is preparing to take an aggressive stand in a large numbers of matters af- fecting the communal welfare.
 The organization meeting of the Chamber was held August 5tn at Pioneer Hall, with practically all business inter- es,s represented, in addition to a considerable number of . citizens.
 Ernest Blue was elected prr;'ident; Merl F. Thomas, vice president, E. D. Haddon, secretary, and H. H. Howard, !. treasurer. The following ex- ecAtive. committee was also named, Ernest Blue, Merl F. Thomas, E. D. Haddon, J. A. Hall and J. A. Talbot. Twenty \, five persons signed the roster. @ \ alters discussed at the init ialmeeting were publicity, riy.r protection, street light v in and the establishment of |a II ineral exhibit to demon .strate the mineral resources z of the district.
 Meetings of the Chamber will be held every second Tues ,, day and luncheon will also v be held monthly. Quarters for

MINING NOTES

P Hewitt and Carlson have dis covered a splendid vein of ore on the Ibex No. z, 8 new locat- ion made by them during the past spring adjacent to the Ibex Group, located by them last. year. Samples of the ore brought to town during the past week show g large per- centage of steel ,galena and gray copper. The new vein, is said to have a trend approxi- Imately the same as the Home stake leads, and is thought to be an extension of the splendid showings on the latter proper Ity, which lies 8 short distance to the north of the new find.
 A new camp of sufficient l size to house crew of IS men lis under construction on the Daily Alaska.
 An additional 300 feet of tunnel is being added to the 300 foot drift run during the past winter.
 Joe Connors and Dave Mo Vey are prospecting their ground near the Homestake Group and are said to have un- covered some fine looking ore. i Work on the Cronholm-Bart- holf properties in the Salmon glacier section is proceeding at. an excellent rate and ship nlents of ore will be made this fall if conditions are favor- able.

 Dan Woodmore and Ray Sny- der left Saturday to put in a25 or 30 foot cross cut on the 96 claim on Mineral Hill, upper Salmon Valley. The projected drift is expected to cut the main lead at a depth of ap- proximately 30 feet and will open up to some extent a splendid looking lead. Monroe, Mcbride 6 McDon- aid, are doing assessment work on their very promising look ing properties on AugustMt. and, expect to get out a few tons of ore for sampling pur- poses if conditions are favor able.
 Six men are at work on the Fraser group on Marmot riv- CT and ton of ore a day is be- ing prepared for shipment. A new tunnel is also being driv- en to tap the ore at greater depth. The property is being operated under bond by w. R. Harner, who expects to put out at least 100 tons of ore by the close of the summer season.
 A steady steam of high grade continues to pour down from the Porter-Idaho and ship, ments are going to the Tacoma smelter at regular intervals, with returns maintaining the high standard that marks the property one of the richest in the district. Returns on 1O5 tons sent to the sfnelter ran $176 per ton.

Gunther and Cavanaugh, who Is

IS YOUR CHILD'S
BIRTH RECORDED
Laws OF Maryland Require Each
Birth To Be Recorded With State
Department OF Health.

A cartoon that is to be seen on the
walls Of number of health depart
ment offices, represents Uncle Sam as
a bookkeeper, seated before desk on
which are spread out various docu-
ments. He looks disturbed and point
ing to the reports of Births is pictur-
ed as saying "And my most important
record is Incomplete"
Maryland is one of the twenty
seven states in what is known as the
Birth Registration Area. This means
that in these states at least 80 per
cent of the births that occur each year
are duly recorded in Uncle Sans big
books.
What this 10 per cent omission may
mean, can be better understood when
we remember that approximately &c.
500 births occur annually, in Mary
Ian. If one-tenth of that number are
not registered, sos children each year
or nearly 1000 in ten years-will be
without the records that are necessary
to secure the protection that is afford
e6 by the laws, not only of Maryland,
but of the whole country, in certain
important matters. Here are some of
the things for which a child's birth
certificate serves as the official rec
ord
To prove his age and citizenship.
To prove his right to go to school.
To prove his right to go to work.
To prove his right to an inheri-
lance.
To prove his right to marry.
To prove his right to hold office.
To prove his right to secure pass
ports for foreign travel.
To prove mothers right to wild
owls pension.
The laws in Maryland require a
haby's birth to be reported within
four days by the physician, nurse OF
midwife, to the Local Registrar, thru
whom it is forwarded to the Bureau
Of Vital Statistics of the State De-
partment of Health. On receipt of
the report, the Bureau communicates
directly with the mother to be sure
that the name, address, date and
place of birth are correct. When these
details have been checked up, card
certifying that the birth has been
duly recorded on the Maryland rec
ords, is sent to the mother, who is
urged to see that it is kept with her
marriage certificate and other family
records.
Parents who are uncertain as to
whether or not their children's births
are reported, can find out definitely
by writing to DR.. F. V. Better, Chief
of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, of
the State Department of Health, Bal
tmore, giving name place and date of
birth of each child.
