Guern sey. Guernsey said that prior to August 31 the Portland Land Of fice sent letters to approximately 400 persons holding 890 mining claims on O & C land. The let ters were reminders to claimants who had not filed the required notice that assessment work on the claims had been performed during fiscal year 1953, Work Done on 95 Notices that assessment work has been performed on 95 claims have also been received. The regional chief said th re sults show both good coopera tion on the part of the mining claimants and a considerable sav ing of Federal funds, for relin- quisnments are still being re ceived. If it had been necessary to have investigated each of these claims, the cost would have been high. I want to thank the mining claimants who responded to the form letters. We can do a much better job of land and resource management, including minerals, when the public cooperates. I want to urge those who have re ceived one of the letters and have not replied to do so at once. If they do not reply, the claims they are holding are open to in vestigation by the BLM and relo cation by other persons." The act of 1948 pertaining to mineral claims on O & C land requires that mining locations be filed with the land office at Portland. The act further re quires proof, by affidavit, that the annual assessment work has actually been done. This proof must be filed at the land office as well as at the office of the county clerk of the county in which the claim is located, if the claim is to be legally retained. Hem's pepper.. !

Hull arrived today to take com mand of United States and Unit ed Nations military forces in the Far East from retiring Gen. Mark W. Clark.

TRIBUNE ELEVEN Farm Prices To Remain Fairly Stable This Year Washington' flJ.PJ Agricul ture Department officials pre dicted today that farm prices will remain 'fairly, stable" lor the rest of the year. Although the peak harvest Is now approaching, they said they do not expect "much change'' during the next three months In prices received by farmers for crops and livestock. They con ceded, however; that such change as there is probably will be in the direction of lower prices. A report yesterday on the mid-September level of farm prices showed a drop of four- fifths of 1 per cent from a montn earlier. . Decline Not Surprising, A spokesman pointed out that 'the decline was less than the 2 per cent drop in farm prices from mid-August to mid-September last year. Farm prices fell another 2 per cent last year from September to October. Ex perts therefore would not be surprised at a seasonal decline cf 1 per cent or so by mid-October. The chief reason why no sharp drop is expected in the remaining months of 1953 is that earlier estimates on crop sizes already have had their effect on market prices.
