Hoover signs swing bill suspending mining assessments
The 1932 mining claim assessment payments are suspended from July 1, 1931, to June 30, 1932. President Hoover signed the law on June 6, aiding prospectors and small operators in Montana and the western mining regions by waiving annual work requirements this year. The measure, backed by western miners, keeps claims from reverting by requiring at least 100 dollars of work on unpatented claims each year.
