The question of Ceowh granting  placer cljaims is receiving much attention at the- hands of that' miners  of Cariboo, aud i!n  speaking* 159- the  subject   the   \"Ashcroft Journal\"'  says:,    \"The   questioii-pf title to  placer,-mines, is one of vital importance and one that in  the. interest  of  Cariboo   a-idt   Atlin'.\" at least,  should  be speedily \"settled.     The  \"Ledger.\" and  this JoiiBiiaJ:   will  strongly' insist' that   the   mining  men of Atlin and Cariboo waiit'and  deserve-a ti(tle. tinder proper restric-.  tions, to, their mines.    W&hout a  chance to, secure   such title it is  very hard. andV in  fact, almost\" im-'  possible-to induce men with money  to invest.    The subject has been  discussed by miners and) mining  men for years.   Two years'agotthe  Ashcroft  Journal  sent in  to the  Legislature copies of petitions and  drafts of a law drawn up and- endorsed   by mining\"   men\" such' as  would   be   suitable,   properly,    to  BBS  Pine tree ftotel.
