THE PLACER MINING ACT Editou JoonNAL, Dbab Sib: British Columbia te to be congratulated on lho threatened change in tbe min- ing laws. Certainly in n minion country tliu individual prospector is the ono to be pr6.Q0.e_lt Not as wo aim to protect our grey-haired infant industries by ulstoriug them up with tariffs, bohuflBS, charities' or whatever it may suit the government ol the day to miscall its corruptive funds. All tho protection tlio prospector or miner wants is negative mid thetefbroeasily within tho renoh of the weakest goverument. All h& asks Is Lhal. the obstacles and Incumbrances impose;! by tho iusatla blctiesa of ii narrow minded and short sighted government bq not made in. sinmoiinlublo .or tjuito roaob tho straining point. Now,1 It is propos- [leroiiH to suppose that a prospector or ninety-nine out of 0110 hundred prospectors onh comply with tho loaso law us Lt (Hands, Tlio prospector, wo know,-being ono, Is not a Wall street intiguuto. Ilo has only, his labor. As tho law stands he must pay into tho government $i.:i 01*888 for tho privilege of trying to got a living out of a certain piece or mining grouud. compelled to expend on the ground in oaoli year 81,000, Willi bis only oapital labor hn is enabled to do the latter by working on bis loaso 28BJ(j days in tho year. This loavos liluj -.7.â¢- working days in which lo earn lhe sUl'OO or more necessary to ounblo him to pay bis government luxes, his living expenses and I'm- his tools. Should ho ho fortunate enoiitfh to kiiI work for this 271.; days, wliero in British Columbia or Blazes will bo paid tho 821 per day required for his grub stake. And tho ohildren must bo ototlied. paid in taxes by the farmer, or near enough for purpose of comparison. There is no need for comment on this mutter; figures oun'tlle. I notioe thut ono of your correspondents of November 17th is in fuvor of Crown Grants and says that ic has worked successfully in tbo case of mineral cluims iu British Columbia. I must take exception to this as nil thinking meu iu tbis and every other mining country will do, It is necessary only to glance at certain sections of Kootenay, Colorado, Navada, etc., to see tho loss sustalnod by tho country in this sort of hogging of mining luud. It has completely retarded all development iu large districts and if it would bo passed and become law here, 1 should Immediately closo tip at least 20 milos of what I consider good rain- iiiK ground, sit ou It uud wait for buyers. Others would do the same und then what would become of tho poor ruuchei who depends on lbe prospeu- tor and minor. Tho sumo correspondent also says that mining is in its infancy here, ilo makes a mistake Tbe child is branching out wonderfully, Uo has already worked out the shallow grouud und is ut present try- ,v__ t.vvÂ».Â»>ujJaB 'Â° Hush his virgin shovel in tho Ho is furtherT^e"0W tl,f,'tl1 "r tho deep channels, has ESTABLISHED IB86 INCORPORATED 1895 McLennan, McFeely & Co.

We keep constantly on hand a large well assorted stock of General Merchandise. , and WCall and examine on stock and prices. The government Is like the Biblioal COVQ ''reuptng whero lie bus not sowed" The proapeotoi' is iu a bad piekle. If the brine were not strong enough to. preserve hiui his fnto would be that of Ananias. â¢ Wo must bent the laws and trust to the chapter of accidents. Therefore I say, and overy thinking man will agree, thut this part of the old law must bo changed in some way. One oZj^e sections contained in your pTiampl6lSrT:o that effect cannot, I think, be bettered. It is to give the holder of a lease threo years in which to perfect his title, provo his ground or uut it on u paying basis, or In wbich to raise capital to curry on bis work,at thesa.uo limo requiring him to pay a tax of $'2o per year and do work to the extent of fOOCi in the three yoars, on his ground. With a chance a prospector can pull through or go to the wall. I agree with hiui nlso iu that creek leases bo marked by a locution liue along tho bunk of the creok, using the oreekmuohas thn location Hue of a miueral claim is used. I would suggest tbat Lho Initial post of tho olaim be on tbo down stream ettd.of this lino and that a notice obtained from tbe Gold Commissioner be posted on the iuitial post each your, stating the name of the holder nature of claim aud dato. This will save tho prospector u great deal of unnecessary work uud troublo. On tho perfecting of lho title tho side lines may ba run bnt tho looation liue bo preserved intact from yeur to year. A comparison of tho taxes arid con di'ttons uudor which mining ground is held will show what appears to be vory unfair discrimination against loaso hohh*. No doubt our representatives-stars pf the licit muguitude; wandering world of reason and matter, mpstly matter, shining with effulgent light in a galaxy of erudite protoplas- mn-can explain away tbis apparent robbery of one class for tho beneUt ofâblessed if I know who. Wehanker after no crowns of the glory of martyrdom. Wo might all valuo a Cobden modal but do not wish to play Esau wilh our own birthright, thut of someone or tho country at largo will not matter. , Taking an equal amount of ground iu each we llud that u mineral claim pays In taxes M cents per aero and requires SIDO worth of work a year to bo done for flvo yeurs, aftor that the tax alono. A bench lease of plncor ground pays in tuxes G8jy por acre and requires 01,000 worth of work oach year, to bo douo till the crash of doom throws--ull olaims opon. A crock lease of placer ground of average width pays in tuxes per aero 87.27 each your aud requires 81,000 work do be done each yeur till the gives up its dead and government's oeaso to bo corrupt. A Crown Grunt of plucor ground pays in tuxes 25 cents per aoro, but should the fortunate roal estate owner concede that his claim is us good as ho invariably says it is, and do work to Lhe amount of S'JOO on his holding his tuxes nve remitted. Tho laws do not suy Ihul ho is given a prizo of a solid silver-plated nutmeg gruler but looking al; It from tho road it looks pisen- tornl. Not being thc foriumto owuor of a raucli I huvo not at baud tho figures Cm' the amount paid by ranchers for (ho privilege of stopping on this soo t(on of our dorlnus planet, But I think if you will lake the ahove figures for plaoer leasda and dilute tbem with 1,P"0 tons of piit'Q snow wator, assay n quatei-ounoa en'mplo of this mixture and divide-the resultant molocnlo by 10 yuu wiil get nbout the amount passed bis callow youth and reached tho stage of his existence. He has passed bis majorlly uud voted for sixteen years. Uo is uo chicken. With a fair chauco ho cuu stand alone but whou ho has to pack a load of taxes und untiaturut imposition that would muke oven a Boer crucify his Josh, he is to say the least hampered. Thc same correspondent that I have noticed ubove makes tho mistake that almost all wbo havo written ou these amendments have mado, that is ia his classification of placer mines. Thero is uo need of confusion. The division bus been mado simply into creek, bar bonch, dredging and precious stone diggings. All olaims will resolve them- \nselves into one of those. You oannot make the division Into shallow and deep placers. A claim must bo thoroughly worked before you can be sure of suob ti class. Hill diggings resolve thomselves into benoh or old channels. An old channel can be staked as bench diggings until such time as it is proved au old chauuel, wben tbo staking may bo changed if necessary. Lastly, u word as to water rights. At prosent it is difficult to get a drink of wuter in Cariboo and ts becoming more so year by year. Stroug companies aro getting control of the water rights. It is uu undisputed faot that for the prosperity of the country tbe small miner aud prospector must be given a chance. If bo stakes a olaim oapable of working within bis moans, ho is, undor presont conditions, almost at a loss for water, The large companies haviug proporty ot great value, as their prospectus' read, oau afford to pay for u valuable asset and ouo that must bo carefully guarded bv the powers that bei It will bo no imposition to tax tbem heavily for wuter as tlieir output will, otber things beiug oqual, be iu direct ratio to tbe amount of water they eau use. The small miner, with small ditch nud pipe wants very few inches wbito a sluice htAd should of right be left in the creek where needed. Therefore suoh a scale of prices as 85 for 100 inches, 810 for 150 inches, $20 for 300 inches etc., might be charged and bo fair to all. Fur thur I would suggest that all wuter, boundry and similar disputes should be settled by tho Gold Commissioners with, of courso, the right of appeal from his decision as iu other courts. This will avoid ruinous delays id Lho mischief makiug of irresponsible parties. He should further be given great latitude in dealing -with tho working of the law in respect to expenditure as, knowing parties and conditions, he is in a hotter position to judge than un outsider. _?. W. Poster has always made his largo; and it might almost be said, de* partmentRl store; a more than usual inviting place for Xmas buyers.

The Ashcroft Court House hns been removed to the new grounds owned by government on Brink street, where tho Court House, Government Ollice and jail will occupy three lots adjoining, The plans indicate that rather fine looking buildings will be erected. Contractor Stoddard will very likely have the contract for the construction as his tender, (3,550 was the lowest. Somo do- tails nre yet to be settled before the contract is signed. These buildings have been grontly needed for many yenrs, particularly a jail; the old one being a disgrace to auy community. Often eight or ten und ns mauy as thirteen prisoners being confined in throe small cells, without ventilation and without any of the ordinary conditions of a jail, tho smalt space and lack of seperate cells making it utterly impossible to keep the placo ina hygenic condition. All of this will be changed in the now jail. There will ho six cells with a corridor botween, the cells beiug Ihrco on u side. In front are four rooms about 9x12 marked bedroom, office, kitchen and dinning room, the two hit. ter rooms having barred windows so thnt, prisioncrs enn be taken out of tho cells to work in preparing food for other prisioncrs aud to be allowed to cat in the kitchen, The jail can easily lie added too in the way oÂ£ moro cell rooms at uuy time by simply extending thc building bnck. The Court House nud Government Agent's office ns above stated will make a fine looking building, with .the grounds fenced oud seeded down in grass, trees planted and the grounds kopt as they are in otber towns in perfect order by tbe chain gang.

Although vlsitlug tho claim somo What lato lu tho day, considerably past knocking off Lime, Mr. P. M'Vicur, lho dredge master, cordially granted me nn interview, and a mutually profitable hour's ohul,us I venture to hope, on- sued, of whicli Uio following is tbe es- unoe. The pontoons of tho dredge are DO ft. long with a beam of 27 ft. The bidder Ib 63 rt. long, capable of going down a depth of 10 ft., or iu a pinch, 45 ft. Tho buckets hold about three cubic foet. The bolt at ordinary speed delivers about 12 buckets por minute.

At present when the dredge is working in ihÂ» river the elevator was pllt aside, bul. when tho batik is attacked the I rays are put on. About six or eight aores of bank have beou turned over, and what once was bank nr maiu laud now lies as an island, piled up IB or 10 feet high, about IC! feet removed into Lhe riverâan illus (ration of what dredging can, and does do. I'he Golden Treasure olaim is sltna ted a short distanco above Miller'!: fflat bridge, from wbich lho dredge oan be plainly seen, riding tho stream like soma great bird of prey Tbe mound now working has been Ione over by previous smull dredgi which could work Ihe bottom only wben tho rivor was low. Stones are met with In moderate quantities, ami occasionally iho wash is pretly hard !Â»nd Light. Mr. -dXii.nr finds Ihat where previous dreads, however deficient us compared with modem ones, bad the chauco to bottom thoy left precious little gold behind, and that iL Is only where l hey could not get to the bottom that uold of tioy. consequence Is met wiih. Tho present dredgo has been at wor for six years and during that time bns dono verv good work, and it still a sound and serviceable bout, Messrs. Cut leu Bros, were thc designers, and with this boat marked un era in dredge building. Mr. K. S. Sparrow wns lhe builder, nnd furnished all Iho working t*ear. which was so faithfully done that no serlnus break has occurred for nil tho time tho dredge has been at work. Some lime ago the bont underwent a thorough overhaul by Mr. 13.

The ol^lm hus been worked in a good work- SDHiiIike manner, dredging being begun ftt the lower end of Lho claim, and bauk and river boiug taken on a fuco. for a littlo timo baokâthat is, sinco tfce dredge is on the ground tbat hus boeu none overâreturns have fallen off. but there is si ill a good ionu lease of life before tho chum. So far lho claim bas paid Â£2 12s por El share. Mr. M'Vicur, who has been nround maobluory nearly all his life, learned the dredging trade on board i ho Gulden Treasure dredgo, und, afler an apprenticeship or four years, bus worked himself up to tho portion of drodgomaste'- having now served the company tbat capacity, with much ured about eight months, aud is nuke bis mark In thlsltno, In geology, different times are marked by differences lu levelâ1. pâ bigb levels aro older thau low levels. This isasufUcient truism, and no hind cf ology" is required to explain it. It therefore follows that if an "old river bod" is found many feet above tbe present gold level of the Molyneux (that Is, of course, measured in true traverse section), the old bed belongs to un ago prior to that which brought the gold iuto tho Molyneux, bo that the chances are against suoh an "old river bed being payably auriferous. From this plain statement it will bo seen Ihat boring rod Is of tho Ilrst importance in deciding the question, whether or not a wiven old rivor bed bo payably auriferous, mining experts notoxoeptad. AL tho risk of being dilfuso, tho com mon sense view of tho "old river bod'' theory may also be stated. Supposing thero Is an old rivor bod, and Ihat it is payably auriferous, tbero is the problem of rise In the bottom. The Molyneux, by measurement, has boon ascertained to havo a full of 550 feet from Cromwell to Us month, a distance of ir,! miles, measured along tho windings of tiio river. By far the most of this fall lies botween Cromwell and Beaumont, a distunoe of about (30 miles of river, for whiob ibe fall mny be es- limated at least at 400 feet, or roughly stated, 7 ft. per mile. The danger therefore, is Lliat the rook bod in the "old river bed" mav riso above the water level of the Molyneux, and cut out the dredge. This, of course, is a question for the boring rods to decide, All this shid uot for the purposo of raising difficulties but of guarding against them. This rather learned discussion has beon indulged iu Vccause all sorts of fads, to which (he least bit of glamour can bo attached,are about be Lo foisted upou tho public. Old river beds and "old water channels" aro to be found everywhere in Otngo, but let tbem occur in any auriferous locality and they lend themselves with ready ease to Imposture of overy description. Craig's flat, of which thero has also beeu some talk as an "old river bod," is of tbe same description as the Golden Treasuro No. 2. Tho public oannot be too cautious in guarding against suoh rlskv investments, especially in the present plethora of good and sife things, if the "old river bod" notion has any particular facination for ihem, they may bo advised to insist upon borinu evidence.conducted, not by any would-be exports, but by a gentlemen of lhe Colonial Geological department âMr. Alexander McKay .preferentially.

Then I gave him money for a week's vacation from crime, and wben the vacation was over we were to see what further could be done. I took my week off at the same time and brought up amid tbe fresh buttermilk and dew kissed goldenrod of ibe country.

It was a farmhouse hotel at which I was stopping. I had a corner room, and ot that corner of tbe house stood a large apple tree. I had observed that a hlg limb branched out so close to my window that I could have descended by It, What you can descend by you can also ascend by. 1 bad no sooner caught sight of Jones- Jones at the foot of the tree nt an hour wben everybody was supposed to be ln bed than 1 understood tbat he Intended to pay me a secret visit How Jie bad tracked mo to my loir was of bo consequence.

In looking for country board he might hove stumbled upon tbe place. He might bave thought the open window belonged to another boarder. No matter how It was, however, Mr. Jones- Jones had no sooner begun to climb that apple treo than I made ready to receive him witb all due hospitality. There was no club In tbo room, but the water pitcher had been filled fp^, the night and made a good wear on Armed with that I took my Btard_ 0ti one side of tbe window and ~ watted .lones-Jones was not an Â»'.mpetnotÂ» man.

Jones-Jones was a crook wbo wanted to reform; Brown-Brown was a poor but honest man who wanted to go Into the making of shirts. He knew nothing whatever of Jones-Jooes. Ho picked up tbo conversation as If bo bad been talking about the business wben tbe sccident happened. He called mo by another name than my own, and It was plain to mo that he was also another man. I sounded htm about crime and state prison, but bo solemnly assured me that he had never been arrested. Ilo was Brown-Brown as far as his nnine wont, but as for his past history ho was rather basy on tbe subject. I bad turned Jones-Jones, the crook, back Into Brown-Brown, tht honest man, hy a knock ou the html. It was rapid transit reformation, and I looked upon tho proWein as solved. Having been willing to assist a .crook, I could not refuse an honest man. When my week was up, wt went back to town together, nnd 1 gave Brown-Brown money enough to set up In shtrtruak- Ing. ne had on the clothes I bad bought Jones-Jones. He had the hair, the eye i, the mouth and tbe build of the crook, but there bad been a change of touts. As far as the present went he was bright and talkative, but wben asked of the past ho looked puizled and could not figure It out Tbe doctors agreed with me that lt was tbe whack on the bead tbat had made Brown-Brown ef Jones-Jones and tbat tbe police ought to be given full power to go around breaking water pitchers over crooks' crsnlums; but, alas, that was a twist of the buelness wc hadn't tbe foresight to discover and prepare for. My man prospered wonderfully welt People said be wee a little eccentric. bnt be was honest and a hard worker. In one year he bad paid me back half my money and built up a good business. One day a detective entered the store to make a purchase. He bad known Jones-Jones as a crook. He knew tbat Jones-Jones bad a crooked linger on bis right band and a mole on his left cheek. When he discovered that Brown-Brawn bad these same Identification marks, bo began to look at him more closely, and by and by he made up bis mind that tbe old crook stood before bim. Ha was so aura ef lt tbat he set out to make an arrest Brown-Brown was aa honest Ban, bnt ln bis surprise he started to ttake a bolt of It As be ran out ot bis â¢bop and down tbe street pursued by tba detective, be encountered a police- Ban wbo tapped hlm on tbe bead with bis club. Brown-Brown went down like a log and was carted off to tbo station. I wu present when hts senses returned, and you can Imagine my feel- toga wben he ut op and said: "Well, yon've got me at lut but X gave you a ruu for it You fellers ain't half sharp." Tou are Jonee-Joncs, tho crook," â¢aid tbe sergeant "Of course I am, and tha slickest crook In tbe oountry. Is it that bank business you want ma for tbis time?' "Mr. Brown-Brown*"â I began as I stepped forward, bnt tbe croofc-stopped me with; "Who In blank ts iftsown-Brown/" Then I realised bow It waa. I had â¢mashed Jones-Jonea, tba crook, over tbe head with a water pitcher and changed htm lato Brown-Brown, the honest shirt constructor. The policeman had smashed Broam-Brown with bis club aud cbanged Jolm back Into Jones-Jones, tbo crook. The taps on the bead bad dona tba fulness.
