LAW. i Expressions of opinion are reaching Washington from members of the min-- j ing industry who call attention to the fact that it would be desirable for con-- ; gress to again suspend the require-ment for performing assessment work on claims, says the last issue of the Mining Congress Journal. Under the present law this work must be per--; formed within the fiscal year begin- ning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year, this meaning that must assessment work for be performed before June 30, 1922. It is being pointed out that due to the inactivity of the mining industry, requirements to perform the assess-- , ment work within the time required by the law will impose serious hardships. Some months ago it was in- dicated that congress would not further suspend the assessment requirement, but Senator Stanfield, Oregon, appreciating conditions in the mining industry, introduced a resolution sus-- ! pending the time for completing the work until June 30, 1924. 1 i : . j 1 I ) I i i j j ; j j DELINQUENT NOTICE EXTENSIONS In this issue of The Citizen stock- holders will please note that the delin- quent sale date of the Stockton Stan- dard Mining Company has been ex-- ; tended from July 15 to August 15.

Preliminary figures showing the qudutity and value of mica sold in the United States in 1921, as reported by the United States Geological Survey, give a total of 3,854 short tons, valued at 174, S38. Of this quantity 371 tons (741,190 pounds), valued at $117,989, was sheet mica; the rest was scrap mica.

The production was made by eight states North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New Mexico, Georgia, South Dakota, Colorado, and Wisconsin, named in order of total value of mica sold from greatest to least. The total quantity of uncut sheet mica sold in 1921. shows a decrease of about 56 per cent, and the value a decrease of about 78 per cent; scrap mica showed decreases of about 39 per cent in quantity and of about 66 per cent in value, as compared with 1920, as tbo figures for those years include cut mica, or mica that has been through several stages of preparation for the market and thereby commands a higher price than uncut mica. The most notable decrease is shown by North Carolina, whose sales of uncut sheet mica dropped about 79 per The greatest singer of the August 7th. The report is signed by Ga H.

The decrease in the domestic output, sales, and prices, is marked and is not balanced by an increase in the imparts. Several mica companies especially in the south, were idle the entire year, and one large company ' j The average price per pound of all sheet mica sold in the United States in 1921 was 16 cents, as compared with 32 cents in 1920, and the average value per ton of scrap mica fell from $29 in 1920 to $16 in 1921. The consumption of mica in the United States depends largely on the available quantity of foreign mica, the importations of which showed a notable decrease. The cut mica and splittings Imported for consumption and the splittings form the greater part of the imports fell in value from $2,011,-43- 4 in 1920 to $758,521 in 1921. The unmanufactured mica, consisting essentially of uncut trimmed sheets, dropped in quantity from 1,298,537 pounds in 1920 to 328,644 pounds in 1921, and in value from- $1,177,943 in 1920, to $331,219 in 1921. gressing satisfactorily at the Keystone h property.

Under the supervision of Manager Andy Hurley preliminary work is pro- i other hand, New Hampshire shows an increase, in output of sheet mica of about 73 per cent in quantity, but a decrease of about 25 per cent in value. The increase in quantity is due to the larger production of mica of small size, such as punch and washer mica, which has had the effect of lowering the average price per pound of sheet mica in New Hampshire from 29 cents in 1920 to 133 cents in 1921. Scrap mica sold in this state in 1921 was 537 tons, valued at $10,613, as against 435 tons, valued at $12,877 in lf a i On the New notices of assessments, appearing in the Citizen this week, Include, among others, the announcement of the Selma Mines Company of assessment number 26 of one-hacent per of share the outstanding capital stock, payable August 10, and delinquent September 11 of this year.
