It seems lo the Herald that with a government prepared to set public opinion at defiance from behind its majority in the house, it only remains to this province tei summon the federal government to its aid.

A Short Summary of the Regulations Recently Made Regarding Placer Mining Along'the North Saskatchewan River By order-in-coimcil passed on the 17th day of April last, tlie new regulations became law. The "following synopsis is published at the request of many readers: .. There are two classes of claims, namely bar diggings and bench claims, which are defined as follows: Bai diggings shall mean any part of a river over which the water extends when the river is in its Hooded state, and which is not covered at low water. Bench claim shall mean a part ot the present bank of the river overlying a portion ot what was originally a gravel bar in the river, and shall include bar diggings. Bar diggings claims consist of "a. strip of land 100 feet along high water mark and thence extending into the river to the lowest water level. Bench claims shall be 100 feet along high water mark tind shall extend forward to low-water mark and back to the bank of tlio valley. Provided, however, that if the distance from . high water mark to the lank of the \ valley exceeds J.000 feet the length of the claim shall be continccl to that number of feet. Entry may be obtained for a bar digging or a bencJi claim upon complying with the following regulations: Any person who desires to work bar diggings may upon payment of a fee of s>t to the agent of Dominion Lands, obtain a Free Miner's certificate upon form A in the schedule. This certificate will entitle the holder thereof to stake out bar'diggings at, any time in accordance with the provisions of these regulations, and work the same without further reference to the agent. A. bench claim . shall-lie recorded with the agent of Dominion Ijinds within three days after the location thereof, if Ioc-ated within 10 mile" of the agents office. One extra day shall be allowed for mak'mg such record for every additional 10 miles. An entry fee of s*s-~ will be charged for the entry, which is good for one year. ". Every claim is to be worked continuously by the holder en some person on his behalf, and shall be deemed to be abandoned and absolutely forfeited if unworked for T2 hours of working time, except for reasonable* cause, power being given to the agent of Dominion Lands to cancel entries for locations not being worked, in a bona liele manner. Parties not exceedinr/ four holding adjoining claims may obtain authority from the agent to woi k any one of their claims, the work being accepted as if done on all. When steam power i.i employed claims may be 21)0 feet in width, but no longer than already prescribed. The sahie concession as already mentioned is lo be given to miners holding two or four adjoining claims and who desire to operate them by steam. , No miner shall receive a grant of more, than one mining claim in the same locality, but may hold any number of claims by purchase or assignment. Any miner may sell or mortgage his claim, the agent to have notice of same. Every miner shall have the exclusive right of entry on his own claim, subject to the right of the Superintendent of Mines to grant such right, of en try- to holders of adjacent claims as may be absolutely necessary for the working of their claims. Provision is also made in case of entries for claims upon land which is not the property of the Crown, whereby arrangements may be mnde with the owner, if necessary by the aid of arbitration. I.EXfrTII OV IjEASKS. A lease for five years may be granted to dredge the bed of the river below low water mark for a distance not exceeding five miles upon such terms as I lis Excellency the Governor m Council may designate. Provided that any person who may receive entry under these regulations shall be entitled . to run tailings intothe river at any point thereon, also to mine two feet below the surface of the water at low water mark by putting in wing clams whether he shall locate before or after the date of such lease. ALBERTA Is Expected to Have a Mining Boom��������� Some of Present Drawbacks���������As Others See Us -From present, indications it would seem that the district of Alberta, in the Canadian North West, is shortly to experience a mining boom. For a long time it has been known that rich deposits of copper and silver are to be found on the east slope of the Rockies, and most of the river beds contain gold. Besides, there a re enormous deposits'of Anthracite coal at the head of the Little Bed Deer river and elsewhere. But at present the Territorial Assembly has no jurisdiction regarding mineral lands, whilst the very inadequate laws of the Dominion relating to this subject prevent prospectors going into the country, as certain formalities are required to obtain permits to explore the land staked out. It is to be hoped that at tho present session of the Dominion Parliament measures will be be taken to remove these restrictions, so that the district may be opened up to the prospector. At Calgary, the. municipal council has petitioned"the Federal Government to open and maintain a government as-' f.-iy oflice and mineral department, under-the charge of Commissioner ol Mines, who resides there, so that the outside world may know of the district's rich resources, which await de- velopincnt.-Spokane Mining Reporter.
