Any violation of the Act was to be a 8] misdemeanor punishable by a fine of ‘not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment. The ocntemplated act also provided that if a mining claim was used for any purpose other than mining without the permit of the secretary of agriculture, the location ‘became invalid, and the claim and improvements thereon reverted to d e e Ss ly SNES RSS EME — WORK ON MINING CLAIMS On June 6, 1932, the Act of Congress, providing for the suspension of annual assessment work on mining claims for the fiscal year July 1, 1931 to July 1, 1932, became a law. Inasmuch as Section 2324 of the Revised Statutes of the United’ States provides that the period for doing ends as of twelve o’clock noon July 1st, the question arose as to whether or not under the wording of the Aci of June 6th, claim-jumping would be made possible from midnight June 30th to 12.0’clock néon July 1st. In ‘order to avoid any such possibility of claim-jumping, I succeeded in having an amendment made to the Act of June 6th, providing for the suspension of annual assessment work for the period twelve’ o’clock noon July 1, 1931 to twelve o‘clock noon July 1, 1932. This preventea any possibility of mining claims being jumped, and carried out the intent of Congress as to the period of suspending assessment work on mining claims. : MINING APPROPRIATIONS oe-fbT onzh o Itbsepenty For mineral mining investigation, concerning the mining treatment and economie development of the mineral industry, $135,000.00.

The South Extension mime has been bonded -and the present promoters plan to start work shortly. Prospects are promising, too, for the reopening of the Carrie mine. At the IXL mine the tunnel is being cleared and this work will be completed soon. Contini reports that in the work of clearing the tunnel he found some of the old timbers in excellent eondition. Many of those timbers have been in the tunnel since 1891. After a temporary shut-down ,the Galen Extension is to resume operations, with Joe Ruffino in charge. This mine is located on the oid Stewart ranch near Pine Grove, and prior to being shut down, the mine showed some rich ore. Tmo shafts have been sunk on the porperty, one being .down— 60--feet. Ruffino says that the ledge in the new 60 foot shaft is the same as ‘that of the Petersen mine. which adjoins his property.

From this appropriation, I algo secured the publication of the new Professional Paper No. 172, which is a report on the Gold Quartz Veins of the Alleghany district in Sierra county. The publication of these two new geological survey reports, the “Mother lode System of California’, and the “Gold Quartz Veins of the Alleghany . District, of California,” is in wide demand, and should prove of great value to the gold mining industry of the. state. My bill to exempt from federal income taxation, incomes derived from the mining of gold is bfeore the comodations would have in the fu-. Ways and Means Committee of the} House and has much valuable support. Along with others in the House of Representatives and the Senate, we succeeded in getting a Provision in th new Revenue Act, Providing for a tax of four cents a pound on the copper contained in imported ores, This provision was obtained for the purpose of preventing large amounts of copper ore from being imported into the United States, so as to make possible the reopening of the copper mines of California and other states.
