As this ofiice, like most office-; that entail gratuitous sei vice in the interests of the* general public, is a thankless one at^best, I think it the duty of every citizen fo assi-.t tlie Fiie Waidens whoever "they may be, iti "currying out iheir ��� plans and efforls for the public weal and . safety. All light thinking 'people will do,this unsob'cited.'but as there; are ' sometimes some so shortsighted as to ignore all advice, no matter how sensibly or kindh given or intended,-aud who,' pei- haps resent any interference wiih their arrangements, for-getfubof the fact that carlessness oroveisight on their part may mean' serious 'loss and damage lo others as well as to themselves, it is necessary ,to re- stiain ail such so as to protect them as far as posoible' even fiom themselves. For tut: benefit of all such, I lake the liberty of requesting you to publish the following excerpts fiom the Statutes so that yom readers may know what legal rights and povveis Fire Waidens have if they choose to exercise them.���Yours truly, J. A. Frasicr. Gov. Agent. Section 8. Chap. 83, K.S. of B. C, as amended, leads as follows : The Fiie Wardens, or a majority of them shall have the following powers '��� (a.)

P Senatoc -Reid, of Cariboo, Submits District'Committee's Re- *���-��� ��� * ooi't on Pi-ooossd Aaieadments. , .' - As slated in our "previous issue, a committee of experienced mining men were appointed at" a public meeting in'"Vancouver to draw up a synopsis of the changes deemed advisable in thc Placer Mining Act -The ���, suggestions are , herewith given" so that the 'miners of this section may.tliorqughly familial ize ihernselveVbii the points'involved." Copies of-these suggestions will in all probability, be ' refened lo the different public bodies here for lati- fication. Suggested��� ' t. That practically no cinr-ge* be made in the piesent Act fiou. section 1 to section 89 inclusive, except-in so far as is necessaiv to prevent conflict with the changes to be made in Part VII. [Note. This would leave the Act as it is iu regard to "shallow diggings " anel such as can be worked by the individual miner ] 2. That Part VII., which refeis to leases, be entirely eliminated, with the exception of clauses '-103 and. 104, which refer to dredging leases. ��� 3. That in lieu ofthe clauses ie- fening to leases, Part "II.-of the Mineral Act, from section 15 to 53, both inclusive, be a'.opted in principle, alterations and eliminations to suit the case being made. [Note. The chief change would be thc inciease of tlie amount necessary to be spent annually be- tore a Crown grant is obtained, from $roo to $200, and of the total amount before a certificate of improvement can be obtained, from $500 to $1000.] 4. That the Part VII., refening lo Crown grants, be retroactive m1* regards .leases already held and money already expended iheieon. 5. That the "Water Clause- Consolidation Act, 1897," part III, be amended by the inclusion of a clause, enabling a record of. watei for deep placer, located with a view ot Ciown granting only, to be'helc'. T.u a te-m of three years before i*. would be necessaiy to begin the work of bringing il to the mine. [Note.' This would give" tin claim holdei a fair oppoi tunity o' discovering whether h'e would teally require the water or not. Ii the ,m eon lime, the water c-.uld b used by others in "the viciLity^ahV'* the rentals would be lepleuishiin the Provincial exchequer. Should thc claim be abpndoncd or forfeilcd the water right would' become void.] 6. That clause 152 (Placer Act) iave added .thereto a paragraph as follows ; "Tlie rate of taxation and the ���mm expended in improvments ir this clause have referer.ee- only le- >lacer claims, of vvhich Crovvr grants have been issued before the passing of the ^amendments .ot 1903." - 7. That a clause, numbered, 152 A, be-added as follows: "That there-shall be levied and collected from the owner or occupier of anv placer claim of vvhich a Ciown grant has issued after the' passing ofthe amendments of 1903, an annual tax of o:.e dollar for ever*- acre or fractional part of an acre ol land conveyed by grant, " etc., etc. and as per clause 152���down to ''against whom the tax may be recovered." , ��� [Note. This large tax is imposed only if the tax of two per cent on tlie gross -.ulput of placers be rc- '-ealeel. One dollar per acre would yield as much revenue a*- Unit tax and the icitalt on placer claim lea'-es togelhci, and would be moie .opular than the present manner of raising lcvei'ue.] Total output of placer gold in Uritish Columbia for past five years was $4,750,600, or S950,120 yea 1 ly, say $1,000,000, and 2 per cent tax, ;'520.ejoo.

A good resolution for the New- Year is to turn over a new leaf in your Check Book. The Annual ,S inscription to (he Claim is now due. anel payable. CROWN GHANTS We have been somewhat sur- pr'sed at the appaient apathy shown by the individual miners of this section in regard to the proposal to petilion the Government with the view of having" certain changes made iu the Mining Acts, more particularly in that relating to placer mining. It is both necessary and advisible that .. the ' miners of this district should express an opinion upon the; ubject so that Atliu's attitude may be known. It should not be said at some future date that individual" miners, apart from companies, were not consulted regarding these proposed changes, and that those most vitally interested railroaded the changes,;vvhich, in a sense, are radical one's,' through'the House. The matter is one of such importance that it demands the most care- ful consideration. If the law leans to the one it opens .opportunities for the individual miner to stake claims, not for the purpose of working them, but for the purpose of erecting proprietory rights against the hydraulic company, which it is compelled to purchase. , If, on the other hand, the law leans to the company, it may, bring about the . most elisaslrous and deplorable condition ot affairs which 'can be conceived of in any country, that, namely, where the company .or capitalist is able to swallow up and ��� eliminate the miner without giv- , ing him adequate compensation. There's the rub. Both vvai t protection aud both- are entitled to protection; To'suggest'a remedial course is a .very difficult matter, one for tlie interests concerned to debate and arrange upon, not for the Legislature, even though il does resolve itself into a Mining Committee. The Legislature shoultl only be called .upon to pass measures approved of by these whom the change in the law afllrcl. It is now up to the miners to express their opinions. We have already intimated that cur columns are ops-.i for the discussion of this important question. Opinions are called for so that the views, ofthe great mining community of the Province may be fully known and recorded. Have the Board of Trade or the Atlin District Miner's Association Ml DECISIONS Affecting Eritish Columbia Mining Laws. .A. "Special" Free Miner's Certificate is a Purely Personal Right.' The substance of two important decisions, recently given by' the Supreme Court of Canada, will be of interest to many of our leaders.' Tlie first of these decisions is applicable, in a measure, to' mining interests in this locality : .Harvey Van Norman* Co. and Balfour & Co, defendant appellants vs. N. F. McNaiight, plaintiff respondent. This suit, turned on the sheriff's rights under a seizure of a mining partner's interest in a claim for debt, the said partner's certificate expiring while the claim was under seizure and the sheriff endeavoring to hold the same under a special certificate. , By the judgment given in the case at Ottawa, it-has been decided that a sheriff can seize i;nly the existing rights of a debtor at the lime the seizure is made"; also that a sheriff's seizure will not protect a debtor after the lapsing of a free miner's certificate, aiiy'moie than the property would have been pro- tected-if no seizure had been made ; also, that only a free miner can take out a special certificate, orpin otlier words, that it is a personal right vvhich neither sheriff nor creditor caii avail himself of. '��� ' r- ��� Iu Chief Justice Tachercau's notes, the following is worthy of special reference: ���- "The words ' wholly or in part' in section 4 of the Act.-.of'.. 1899, whatever eonstiuction they are susceptible of, cannot be read as defeating the clear, unambiguous 'enactment of section 9, that, when a co-owner's interest lapses by his failure to keep,up his certificate on the 31st day of May of each year, his interest is not forfeited to the Crown, nor to be .considered as abandoned, but that it shall, ipso facto.be and become.vested in his co-owners." ' ' The other case, that of Paulson vs. Beaniau, this action was to adverse the respondent's claim to the "Pearl" mining location near Kaslo, B. C, vvhich overlaps the "Iron Chief" location, belonging to Hie appellant. The action was dismissed ,by the Full Court on appeal from a judgment ou preliminary objections as to non-production of a plan made anel signed by a Provincial Land Surveyor thus reversing the judgment in favor of the plaintiff at the trial. The appellant sought the restoration of the trial court judgment overruling the preliminary objections and admitting the plan's filed as sufficient to permit of a trial ofthe merits of the case to be proceeded with. I Appeal allowed' with costs, and judgment of trial court restored. Tlie case, in brief, is, that for the Atlin, ftsig&eti and &rape Rings And All Kinds of Jewellery Manufactured on the Premises.
