PARTIAL ASSESSMENT MORATORIUM

Although Delegate Dimond and the House Mining Committee opposed the suspension of mining claim assessment for this year and the Delegate attempted to have Alaska excluded, Congress has given Its ap- proval and the bill has gone to the White House Fortunately it was amended to point where 1t may not prove as detrimental to mineral development In the north as had it been made blanket suspenslon
 Alaska steadfastly has opposed suspension of claim assessment work amounting to S100 per year on the grounds that it checks development. permitting prop ery to be held without effort made to bring 1t into production or allow any else to do SO As the Legislature pointed out in a memorial to Congress three years ago lack of assessment work brings stagna- ton to the development of the industry.
 Tn an effort to get away from that condition the present bill is aimed to help the little fellow while preventing to some extent large operators from hold ing vast properties without doing work on them In the first place it sets up barrier by exempting from the provisions the bill individuals corpora tions who paid Federal income tax in 1937 Then it fixes the limit of property which may be exempted vdua or lode claims for partnerships and corpora tions and six placer claims totang not more than 120 acres for the individual 12 placer claims toal- ing not more than 240 acres for partnership cor poration
 The exemptions probably are not stringent as many Alaskans would like to them but they are an improvement blanket suspension of assessment wc.k and another point to be overlooked is that the mora torium is for only this year.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BANNER
 MINERAL YEAR

Indications are that Alaska is headed for another banner year in mineral production B. D. Stewart Commissioner of Mines just back from swing through the Westward and Interior reports everything pointing to an excellent season in the placer regions, the one thing which may stymie a record production being lack of adequate water supply. Due to minimum snowfall in the hills winter, there is definite Shortage of water as compared with last year and the year before However it is not uncomparabe with many former years thus the prospect is bright for an exceptionally fine output in gold.
 Last season the pacers accounted for more than SIS 100000 of the nearly $2lO0O0o0 gold production in the Territory This season there are several new drapline operations in addition to those in operation last year along with 43 dredges and several new pay ing properties are in production, thus with fairly normal supply of water the placer regions probably will account for as much if not more of the total pro- duction as during 1937.
 Lode properties, mostly in Southeast Alaska, are producing as usual and there is marked activity n the Willow Greek district which second in lode pro- duction last year Lodes brought out better than S7 GOO of the production of 1937 and unless unforeseen events occur they probably will do as well if not better during 1888.
 The Commissioner feels that barring unusual conditions particularly water in the placer regions, the Territory may well exceed last years mineral pro- duction mark.
