eral lands and is purposely made liberal Simply by fulfilling it's easy terms the claim holders win the legal right to work his piece of ground that may tually yield him anything from days wages for tune No tax is involved; instead merely the county recorders fee incidental to filing affidavit that the annual assessment work has been performed. But when suspension is authorized, work IS stopped, at least by those that have sought suspension and the claim holder becomes claim stterv who cannot or will not attempt to develop his ground. fact sus- pension makes it possible for one who has inten- ton of doing work at all to file on claims and retain them for speculative purposes keping prospectors of good intent off the ground also others who have the will and means to work it. suspension pension. Companies and individuals are, moreover, thus enabled to retain possession of holdings of size out of proportion to their for working them Thus inactivity encouraged instead of the opening of prospects, and the development of new mines so necessary to the industry is thereby deferred
 Advocates of suspension in the past have sought it for the most plausible which could be seized upon at the time, on the ground that labor because times were hard. although in the latter instances labor plentiful and cheap. Ger tainly such is the condition today. Indeed many a bona de prospecor would be glad of the chance to do $100 worth of work of the kind he finds natural thereby to aid him in prospecting further on his own account
 The very purpose Of the law IS at variance With the idea of long continued suspension. Development the countrys natural matter of suffi cient importance for the Government to be practical about it rather than sentimental Perhaps it de- sirabe indeed to authorize suspension in 1892 But eniency has since been extended for six years to claim holders of limited financial means, and the time has arrived when they should be asked to re- lnquish their holdings to others better able to develop them, if they still unable to do their assessment work or to pay for having it done It would be well for the mining industry indeed if the regulations tightened so as to leave the maximum amount of ground open for prospecting.

WILL THOSE CLAIMS EVER BE
 WORKED?

Political pap of the worst sort is the extension which Congress voted this week in the time in which annual assessment work must be commenced on min ing claims held by location.
 Instead of having to go to work on their claims by July l. those holding them given until Sep tember under the bill passed by both Senate and House and which went yesterday to the White House for approval -a
 If there is any reason, besides the ever-present political of satisfying certain shiftless element in each Congressmans constituency, for granting a month extension top of seven successive years of absolute exoneraton from performing any assess ment work it is difficult indeed to perceive.
 Since 1892 claim holders in the States have not had tap of work to retain full rights to ground staked. Alaska was included in granting suspension in the laws of 1892 1893 and 1884 and again in 1888 Alaska is included in the present law extending the time to September l.
 The law drawn is meant to encourage the de- velopment of the natural resources on the public min-

HAPPY NEW YEAR

For hundreds of Juneauites this is the first day of the year. the year referred to being of the fiscal year of the United States Government.
 Not at all taxing the demands which the year is making the Governments employees in it's first few days. After half days work Federal employees, from Alaska chiefs to stenographer laid off at noon today for a very long weekend which work won't n- terrupt until next Wednesday morning.
 The year brings reorganization to half a dczen offices here To few it will bring new faces and policies. To one veteran employee of Uncle Sam it brings retirement after 30 years of service J P. Williams Chief Ranger in the Forest Service, leaves his post due to his reaching the age at which Uncle Sam says his faithful servants have labored long enough. To one and all in the Government ser July brings welcome breath of fresh air for the atmosphere of offices which the very nature of their work makes stuffy with year-around routine

Horoscote The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JULY 2, 1889.

After the early morning, benefic aspects rule this day According to astrology it is a fortunate date for all who seek mental refreshment and spiritual illumination.
 Upon awakening there may be a sense of unrest, but the mind will be open to stimulating influences through the hours of usual activity. Churches should attract many per- sons.
 The planetary government en- courages clear thinking and philo- sophical decisions. This is a time to make plans for the future and for personal adjustment to changing world conditions.
 Increased interest in foreign af- fairs is presaged. Closer relations with Great Britain will prove berle- ficial. New trade policies with Can- ada are indicated.
 Ocean voyages and beach recrea- tion will bring much pleasure. Ro- nance will flourish on yachts and pleasure boats.
 Under this configuration girls may expect to awaken friendly interest among eligible young men. Court ships will be numerous this sum- mer. Haste makes weddings this year
 Saturn eliminating in Mars is read as threatening to Japan which may find it necessity to make peace at great cost. Jupiter eliminating at Peking is fortunate for China. Nevertheless China will suffer Se- verely through the summer from diseases resulting in heavy mortal ity.
 National financial problems will disturb many governments at this time. In Ireland a sensational in- cident may seriously affect the pub lie confidence.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of profit through unusual channels Special care should be taken when signing legal documents. Women will bene- fit through relatives.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be imaginative, inventive and intuitive. These subjects of Cancer usually have keen business minds. Their lucky day is Monday
