A Mineral County letter opposes Rep Burnham's 1921 22 resolution to suspend assessment work on mining claims. It urges Neva Go representatives to vote against it, arguing work spurs development, 1917 to 1920 suspensions left only old locations, and 1920 extension to 1921 delayed activity while many miners are unemployed. It contends no need to suspend the $106 annual work requirement.
