Wilson Signs 1920 Mining Claim Extension Bill
President Wilson signed at last minute a bill extending the 1920 assessment work deadline to July 1 1921 for mining claims, allowing $100 per claim for 1920 work. The measure, to prevent claim jumpers, limits further extensions and keeps 1921 work requirements unchanged.
