Party Workers Busy

would not be very heavy, in view
OF the .quietness of the campaign
and the lack of many definite is

Last year the issue of the APP

official had caused much dispute
and voters were excited about It.
This year the ADMINISTRATION has
compiled good record, according
to democrats, and their opponents
admit it has been a fairly good
one.
Warden John j. Sheridan is a
candidate for reelection on the
democratic ticket with Joseph w.

ASSESSMENT WORK MAY OPEN NEW MINE
Denver Mining Record1


 The law which exemps of mining locations from doing work has friends and enemies One reader says he doubts very much whether the law has helped the bona de prospector He says the prospeetor without grubstake has all the time to do assessment work It contended that the extending of this exemption from year year helps real propecor but flinders his work Am ater prospectors, outsiders dig, usually have someone else dig 1Ooo pot holes the mountains and hold many possible prospects for years with intention of doing further work unless opens up in their vicinity.
 It is further contended by subscribers that there is too much promising but idle mineral land tied up with United States patents He further contends it is not wise allow bona de prospector to hold claims just be- cause he dug 10foot holes two three years before Even storekeepers and businessmen hire poor creditors dig half dozen pot hoes for 25 debt and keep as many claims idle
 Sentiment is about evenly divided in the West on the important question of the exemption of mining locations from assessment work. The potential bonanza must be developed produce The Denver Mining Record believes action in the mining districts and hopes for return of good times that there will be further need for post ponement of this important work The law regarding pat ened property should be changed that after property is idle for certain number of years should be offered at auction by the county in which is located The federal securities law has slowed up development m mining dis ricts It is important that every effort be made to increase work thru remaining channels.
