A POINTER FOR OUR LEGISLATORS. ' ��� When a ' man arrives in Atliii with-the intention of making min poor tenement women 15 cents a dozen for making shirts.. They are both legally right, but that is quite auolher thing from being lL'orally right.' These strictures do not apply to quartz and ' - hydraulic mining, where large capital is expended, aiid large areas of ground are necessary for operating in, but only to the every day, ordinary placer miner, wliio is the pioneer and Open ing his vocation, the first thing he er up. of the country. _ Him 'we wish to see protected as much as possible,, as he is the most valuable asset the Province has, and we' think Our Legislative Solons would do well to study up the' New Zealand mining laws and get some pointers that are badly needed for the' protectibn and , encouragement of the placer miner of British Columbia. tloes is to go to the government office and pa}- five dollars, in return for. which' he. receives, an official, Permit to mine for 12 months. This permit, in an unconsciously htimor- istic way,-is termed a .Free Miners' License. This so-called. Free Miner's next move .is to get a piece of auriferous ground upon which he ban apply his energies; and at the feame.tihie recuperate his purse, for the outlay of time, labor and money he has incurred. He moves up the' fcfeeks, and finds that very niariy of theclaims are held, by .parties who lire iiot miners in any sense of the Word, men who never even saw the claims they ow.n, and who never Have had the most remote intention to work them in person. Men who by tlie adventitious circumstance ,of k prior arrival, forestalled the min- ,fer whose mission was to.- work them. - After considerable hunting around, , our ','Free Miner'-', finds , .that if he is to have a claim-to work at all, he must get in on a lay from fcome one who ��� has previously *'bogged" it, finds he must ,pay a royalty to him, varying frbni 20 to 60 per cent, of liis gross earnings,' according to the demonstrated or supposed value of said claim. Is 'this morally right? We unhesitatingly say, no. It is the old sweating system, neither more nor lers. The New Zealand mining laws <are incomparably, ahead of ours on this question. They practically de-, fclare that in placer, or alluvial, as it is called there, mining, a man shall hold but one claim at a time, and be entitled to another only by the,sale or abandonment of the first. Also, he cannot stake off claims for absentees, as'is so much done here. The New Zealand laws recognize Vhe great moral fact that the man who by his work recovers the gold from the ground is the only man entitled to it, and that too in its entirety. All attempts to take advantage of him. in the shape of percentages on his labors, are strongly frowned down. Suppose A arrives in here a week ahead of B. A having the chance, stakes off a lot of claims in ��� the names of his uncles, cousins and aunts. B not having the chance, owing to his later arrival, although he has been at equal pains and expense with A in getting in, has, in consequence of A's "hogging" propensities, no resource but to put on A's yoke and work as his bond slave. B does all the work, incurs all the expenses, gives, up a large proportion of his hard-earned dust to A, who docs nothing- for it at all except the "hojf" act previously ��� POWERS OF ATTORNEY. , ���Editor Claim: ' - >��� Sir,���I have been'a placer miner for manj' years and .Want to -ask you a little question. I notice that store-keepers and others in^business here hold quite a lot of "placer claims for themselves, and, also, by power of attorney, for outside friends. Would it not be wiser policy 'to have these claims worked by individual bona fide miners? How do'"th'ese business menlexpect to' make business by barring out, to the best df their ability, t the practical working miner, Who alone can impart life and stability to a camp? If they'cannot see .that they are working against their own interests how can we teach'th'em? -" -^ * -.-���;. ���.'���' ' - - Miner. Atlin, April 18, -igoo. ,. - .

Brown & Sinclair, on Saturday in the Small Debts court, and of such importance dc -we- consider the case, that we publish' in lull his findings: . ���".'.''' This is an action brought by plaintiff against' Brown & Sinclair to recover .$82:50 for wages due by one Oliver Rolsten. ' ��� It appears that the defendants Brown & Sinclair entered "into an agreement with Oliver Rolsten, bearing date 20th February, 1900, whereby Rolsten at certain-' figures and other conditions was to "skid or j ard up, and to haul saw logs" for the defendants, the defendants on their part binding themselves to supply the logs as distinguished from the actual hauling, skidding and delivery of the same by Rolsten at Surprise lake. Rolsten under the agreement in question proceeded to hire men to carry out this work, and the plaintiff is admittedly one of them, and now brings his action to recover his wages. The question is a very share simple one. Mr. Grant, solicitor mentioned. A pijckets his pnJductfd by B's toll and sweat, and for plaintiff, contends that Corrigal iiaiters Jihftseif he is a pretty siriart tis entitled to bring his action rfei&w-. So )le is, aud so is the {against the firm of Brown & Sin: aiveaVeS in New York wh n pay, t ' clair under sections _>6. 27 and 2S of the Mechanics Lien "Act. Section 26 of the act is-as'follows: "Every person making or entering into any ��� contract) engagement or agreement vVith any dth��r person for the purpose of, furnishing, supplying timber or logs by which it is requisite and'necessary, to engage and employ Workmen and-laborers in the obtaining, - supplying and ft ' furnishing sutih logs or limber as aforesaid, shall before, making any payiiier>t'for;-*dn behalf of, or under such contract engagement or agreement of'auv sum df money, or-bv <. ,- , , . ��� .iT- ' . kind require such person to ��� whom payment is to be made, to produce aud furnish a pay roll or sheet of the wages,"and amount due and owing,1 and of the ..payment thereof which pay roll or she'et may "be in the form of schedule C annexed to this dct.or if wot paid the amount of wages and pay due and owing "to all tHe/workmen or laborers employed, , or engaged on or tinder such contract'engagement of agreement at the time when, the said logs or timber is delivered, or taken in charge for or by or on behalf of the 'person so making such payment and receiving the timber or logs." Mr. Sawers' argument that .the defendants do not come,within.the purview of this section does not appear to me sound.".'He. says Rolsten was only bound' to haul the logs and had, nothing'to do with the "furnishing, supplying or op-" tainingo the timber or logs." If this is correct, it wbuld seem difficult to ascertain what --Rolsten , aud "his workmen -were doing, if not taking a very prominent part in the furnishing, etc., of the log's or timber as required by the agreement. Section 26 is not to be construed in a narrow mnuner. The clear, intention is to secure payment of wages to woodmen or workmen engaged in or about logs and' timber in the woods, and to go into nice details as to the actual kind of work would not be within the spirit of the act, I hold therefore that Brown & Sinclair and Rolsten all come -within the meaning of the section, and that defendants have on their own admission paid in kind, 9 (vide Brawn's evidence) without having a payroll or sheet according to schedule C o.f-the act produced.. ��� Section 27 provides that, any payment made without the production of this roll, ���. renders the person .so making it liable to a suit by any workman for bis wages. This is exactly what the plaintiff has done, and I must hold that he is - entitled , to succeed. I would further point out that the agreement between the defendants and Rolsten provides that Brown & Sinclair may supply Rolsten with horse-feed, groceries and supplies, which they have done, and I am inclined to think that they have by so doing expressly brought themselves within section 26, and . inasmuch as-they have not protected themselves as they could have done, I must hold the action well brought, and enter judgment for $82.50 and costs.

Party Ar- ' live Alter a Very Trying Trip��� ' Five Days on the Trail���Slush and Water Play Havoc. The eager, and anxious crowds facing the lake front last .week, in > 1 ' ' ' 1 . -. anticipation of getting a glimpse of, the now celebrated'pioneer auto- ' mobile, knew very little of the trials and tribulations M. Jannc'de Lauiare and party were' undergoing on their way into Atlin. It was an experiment, and like many in- _ novations, the. proper details were overlooked. The detail in "this. i;i- stance,,if such.it can be termed, lay in the fact that' the^slart was .undertaken four weeks too late. Had an earlier attempt been made, the slush 'and holes would not have impeded the progress-of this smart machinev aud instead of spending 5 ,days on the trail, the ���> party .-would have' been here in'as many hours. However, M." Jamie de Lamare is . very pleased with the result. "It Was a i experiment, yoj see," said the genial' aud enterprising Parisian." y'.'L- wanted to find out whe- ther it would run on ice, andJthis'I found out to my entire satisfaction. Everything was sacrificed to lightness. We did this to facilitate going over portages, -where,logs ,and other impediments are often - met with. This was> a mistake, because ' we weakened .rhe'machine too much, ��� and jiy consequence broke several parts on the way. Then, again, the machine is too low. 1 The bur ner, as, you see," .pointing-to an arrangement on the left hand side of the automobile, "was under water a considerable ��� portion of the journey, and we had great_difficulty in keeping it lighted.'I'll take advan tage of all these weak points and when I come in with a stronger and more perfect machine next year, I'll allow no one to pass me and say that I am broken down and have given it up for a bad job." In the party are M. Janne de Lamare, M. E. Crom,' his private secretary, and M. Merville, the obliging gentlema- in charge of the automobile. The start from Bennett was made ���at 5 p. m. on Monday, the 9th. M. de Lamare aud the'driver were seated on the automobile, and amid t hip, hip, hurrahs, ' they left. M. E. Crom followed on a sleigh, with what would be termed in these stirring times, the commissariat end of the expedition. This included 10 cases of gasoline, a portion of which was lo be scit ahead to White Horse, so as to afford M. de Lamare a relay station when he leaves for Dawso ��,'aud the remainder taken to Atlin. The first five miles was an ideal trip, the trail being clean and easy going. After this things changed for the worse. Slush and slush and holes and holes appeared to multiply at every step. A stop was made 15 miles this side of Bennett, where three hours were spent in adjusting some lower parts of the machine that had been knocked out of place. As the automobile could not be overturned with safety at this point, it was necessary to cut a hole in the ice to allow of the replacing of the part. This was accomplished in a maimer, bod. Some cloth bandages had been placed around the pipe leading from the gasoline reservoir to the burner, to keep /the" pipe from freezing.' The, cloth 'which',^unfortunately, had been placed too close to the burner, caught fire and set the machine aglow. Cariboo^ was reached in' a very disabled condition'; and the White Pass Railroad blacksmith -- shop was , called into play. Two nights were, spent there. The following morning a run' of'15 miles was made jhi'55^ minutes, when the sleigh was overtaken and a fresh'supoly of gasoline obtained. Three miles before reachitigVGolden Gate; it commencing raining," and' a foot of wafer on the ice was encountered. This resulted in' extinguishing., the burner.and making progress very hard. The automobile had to be ���r f n helped part of the way into Golden Gate. The night was spent at the last named place and the following morning at S o'clock a start* was made for Takn City, where'they arrived in" an hour. 'The party're-, mail ed'.there till 5 in the afternoon', when they .left, ^.to ���,cross the Portage. - Whilst crossing this the automobile met with another accident that 'resulted in delaying its arrival in Atlin till -9:30 that evening', Saturday: '" ' ~~'r \' Several 'small parts of the machine' were lost on the way. 'One of these was a cap. To remedy this a piece was taken from the heel of a rubber boot by MT de Lamare and-the 'lost member replaced.' In , Atlin the " automobile"'was thoroughly overhauled and.once more put iti^gpod shape for the trip to Dawson, which M. de La; mare intends starting for to-day. Herr will remain there' about ten days, look over his properties ' and then' return to Atlin, when he will make this place his headquarters for future operations. M. ,Crom will remain in Atlin during the former's trip'to Dawson. Good luck, M.,de Lamare. I ATLIN, B.
