ASSESSMENT WORK MAKES
EMPLOYMENT
For the first year since 1931 mining claim holders
in Alaska must do their assessment work this year.
The law requiring assessment work was suspended
by Act of Congress in 1932. at the height of the de
pression. in an effort to alleviate the burden of mining
men along with the millions of others in the nation
who were suffering from the Hoover debacle. Each
year since at the request of the Legislature. Con
gress has suspended the provision for assessment, on
the theory that it would aid in readjustment.
