offers still hold. The next move,
however, IS up to those clubs"

ASSESS ENT WORK
SUSPENSION GETS
ADVERSE REPORT

It is generally believed that the
bill to suspend representation WORK
on mining claims now before con-
gress will not be passed. Opposition
of mining men as well as the de-
partment of the interior and other
agencies caused the bill to come out
of committee with adverse report.
Claim owners have been relieved
of doing 500 per year assessment
work on claims since 1882 by an
annual suspension. This is the first
year there has been any determ1n-
ed opposition to the measure.

RECORD YEAR FOR COPPER

NEW YORk-Bertram B. CaddIe,
secretary of the Copper and Brass
Research association, said today
present indications point to new
all-time record for domestic con-
sumption of copper during 1887"
Increased consumption has per.
haps been the most important fac
tor in the general revival of bust
ness of all manufacturers OF better
building materials" he reported and
add that much of the credit for
general acceptance of better build
ing materials is due to the federal
housing administration, banks and
and loan associations.

PROPERTIES RELEASED

A number of valuable mining
properties can be pried loose from
defunct and inactive corporations
in Montana as a result of the pas
sage and signature by Governor
Ayers of the law relating to the
sale of dissolved corporations. The
law was passed at the request OF
mining men who found that a
number of properties could not be
cleared up as to title because of
their status in dissolved corpora
