Assessment Work Requirements

AS result of copies of mining records being forwarded to the Department of Mines under Chapter 95 of the Twenty-first Session Laws, it has been no- ticed that large majority of the recorded assessment work affi- davits are incorrect and that there is general misunder- standing of what constitutes legal assessment work. In case of a court contest, an improper affidavit or wrong type of work or expense represented as assess ment work might not stand as evidence of legal right to the claim. Although the courts us ually lean strongly toward a per sons honest intent, it is better to play safe.
 Someone periodically starts a move in Congress to change the assessment work year, but at

firewood have been held not to
 count as assessment work. The construction of a house on the claim for the housing of miners is legal assessment work, but if built outside the claim, it is not. Work on a mill or treatment plant is not assessment work, and neither are the expenses or labor involved in transporting tools, machinery, or personnel to or from the claim, nor does the price of tools or machinery count Building roads, trails, fumes, ditches, drains, either inside or outside the claim, for the purpose of mining or ex- ploring the claim will count. Also, any actual act of mining is assessment work. A reasonable allowance for the use of ma chinery or animals is assessment work, and so is the value of powder and fuse used. Wages

An affidavit stating that the assessment work has been done is not legally required, but should be recorded, in the prop CT recording office, each year to prove that the claim is being legally held and to prevent the possibilities of legal difficulties in future sales, leases, or proof of ownership. A properly pre- pared assessment work affidavit should contain the name and To- cation of the claim and the name of the owner Cor owners) of the claim, statement of the amount of work and kind of work performed, the ct ua l value of the work, the dates during which the work was done, the assessment year for which the work was done, and the circumstances under which the work was done if by other than the owner The affidavit must be sworn to before notary public or postmaster before re- cording to make it legal,

Airborne insecticides made by Standards subsidiary, California Spray Chemical Corporation, are so effective that they save western farmers millions of dollars a year in crop losses.
