PART A.\nTHE MINING INDUSTRY.\nBY\nJohn F. Walker.\nThe value of mine production in 1935 was $48,821,239, an increase of $6,515,942 over the\nvalue for 1934. It is approximately the mean of the peak production of $68,245,443 in 1929\nand the recent low of $28,798,406 in 1932. The increase for the year was much greater than\nanticipated, due chiefly to a higher price for silver and lead and a greater volume production\nfor gold.\nGold production again accounted for the greatest increase in value for any one metal or\nmaterial in 1935, followed closely by lead and silver and then by cadmium, zinc, and structural\nmaterials. Coal and copper showed substantial losses.\nGold production established a new all-time high in both volume and value, exceeding the\n1934 record by 25.4 per cent, in value.\nZinc established an all-time high in volume production and lead just fell short of the all-\ntime high volume production in 1934.\nDuring the year the larger operations maintained their production at capacity and several\nnew milling plants were brought into production. The most serious set-back to the mining\nindustry was the closing-down of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company's\nmine and smelter at Anyox. Cessation of operations were anticipated, as it had been known\nfor some time that the mine was approaching -exhaustion under existing conditions.\nThe number of shipping metalliferous mines increased from 145 in 1934 to 177 in 1935,\nand those shipping over 100 tons increased from 69 to 72.\nIt is estimated that, during the year, 13,737 men were employed in all branches of the\nmining industry. This is an increase of 752 over the number employed in 1934.\nThe following list shows the dividends declared by companies engaged in the mining\nindustry in the Province during 1934 and 1935:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nCompany. 1934. 1935.\nThe Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of\nCanada, Ltd. $1,952,794 $4,232,452\nPremier Gold Mining Co., Ltd 600,000 650,000\nBeaverdell-Wellington 3,600 36,000\nBell Mines, Ltd. 29,401 50,501\nHighland Lass, Ltd 46,208 52,369\nBralorne Mines, Ltd 625,000 300,000\nPioneer Gold Mines of B.C., Ltd 1,226,225 1,401,400 .\nReno Gold Mines, Ltd 255,683\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal Co., Ltd 248,472 372,708\nOthers 14,205 34,957\nTotals $4,745,905 $7,386,070\nGranby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and 1934' 193B-\nPower Co., Ltd. (capital distribution) $2,250,000\nHowe Sound Co $1,421,373 1,918,854\nThe Howe Sound Company is the holding company for the Britannia mine in British\nColumbia and the El Potosi and Calera mines in Mexico. Dividends paid by this company are\ntherefore derived from the profits on operation of all three mines, so that only part of the\ndividends paid can be credited to the Britannia mine.\nThe Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting, and Power Company, Limited, closed down its\nAnyox operations in August, 1935, and the company went into voluntary liquidation. The\ncapital distribution noted above was declared in December, 1935, at the rate of $5 a share.\nPROVINCIAL LIBRARY\nVICTORIA, B.C. A further distribution was declared in March, 1936, at the rate of $8 a share, and this latter\nfigure will be credited to 1936 distributions from British Columbia mines.\nDetails of production, etc., of the mining industry are set out in Tables Nos. I. to XVII.\nGENERAL SITUATION.\nWith the close of 1935 it is even more difficult to forecast the probable value of the mining\nindustry for 1936 than it was for 1935.\nIt is anticipated that gold will again show a substantial increase in volume, but not as\ngreat as in 1935. It is believed that the average price will be about the same as in 1935.\nThe average price of silver in 1935 was 17.329 cents higher than in 1934 and it may\naverage about the same in 1936 as in 1934. Therefore, it appears that a very large decrease\nin the value of production of silver is to be expected even though the volume production is\nmaintained.\nIn the case of copper, the closing-down of the Anyox operation of Granby Consolidated\nMining, Smelting, and Power Company will result in a very heavy decrease in both volume and\nvalue production.\nThe volume of lead production is likely to remain about the same. The present price is\nappreciably above the average for 1935 and it is anticipated that it will hold fairly steady\nthroughout the year. Therefore, a substantial increase in value production is looked for.\nThe price of zinc is also higher than the average for 1935 and, with volume production\nlikely to be about the same, an appreciable increase in value production is expected.\nCoal showed a decrease in 1935 of 11.8 per cent., bringing production to the lowest point\nsince 1898. It does not seem reasonable that a further decrease should occur in 1936.\nStructural materials showed an increase in 1935 over 1934 and an even greater increase\nmay be expected in 1936.\nMiscellaneous metals and minerals are likely to maintain the increase attained in 1935.\nOffsetting the heavy anticipated losses in silver and copper by increases in gold, lead, and\nzinc, it is estimated that the value of the mining industry will be about the same in 1936 as\nin 1935.\nMETHOD OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION.\nThe total mine production of the Province consists of the outputs of metalliferous minerals,\ncoal, structural materials, and miscellaneous metals, minerals, and materials, valued at standard recognized prices in Canadian funds.\nIn the Annual Report for 1925 some changes were made in the methods used in previous\nyears in computing and valuing the products of the industry, but in order to facilitate comparisons with former years the same general style of tables was adhered to. The methods used\nin the 1925 Annual Report have been followed in subsequent Annual Reports, with the addition of new tables, the first of which, Table No. I., appeared in the 1933 Annual Report, in\norder to present additional or more informative data.\nFor the 1934 Annual Report, Table VI., which formerly tabulated the yield of placer\ngold only, was drawn up to show both placer- and lode-gold values. This will facilitate a\nrapid view of the total gold production of the Province. Another new table, No. XVII.,\nincludes \" Mining Companies employing an Average of Ten or more Men.\" Incorporated in\nthis table, additional data are presented showing the number of operating days at mine and\nmill, and also tonnage mined and milled. A subsection of the table shows operating days and\naverage men employed at non-shipping mines employing ten or more men.\nTable I. presents in summary form the mine statistics of the Province in a form that\npermits ready comparisons being made with tables of similar design presented annually by the\nDominion Bureau of Statistics and other Provincial Statistical Bureaus.\nAn important change was made in Table I. for 1934, which embodies comparative figures\nfor 1933. In Table I. of the 1933 Annual Report, which also gave comparative figures for 1932,\ngold production as set forth is valued at the old standard price of $20.671834 per fine ounce,\nand placer gold value converted to fine ounces at that figure also. In order to show the value\nof gold in Canadian funds, the calculated so-called \" premium \" was shown in the table as\n\" Exchange equalization on gold.\" Commencing with the 1934 Annual Report, all gold will\nbe valued at the yearly average of the current price of gold per fine ounce in Canadian funds. THE MINING INDUSTRY.\nA 9\nIn the 1934 Annual Report all tables in which the value of gold enters and covering production for the years 1932, 1933, and 1934 are shown with production valued at the yearly\naverage price of gold and not the old standard price. The only tables not brought up to date\nin the 1934 Annual Report in this regard are Tables VII. and VIII., but these have been\nchanged in this report.\nThe following notes explain the methods used:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n(1.) From the certified returns of lode mines of ore and concentrate shipments made\nduring the full calendar year by the producers the net recovered metal contents have been\ndetermined by deducting from the \" assay value content \" necessary corrections for smelting\nand refining losses.\nIn making comparisons of production figures with previous years, it should be remembered\nthat prior to 1925 in the Annual Reports the total metal production, with the exception of\ncopper, was determined by taking the assay value content of all ores shipped; deductions for\nslag losses were made by taking varying percentages off the metal prices.\n(2.) Gold-placer returns are received from the operators in dollars and the dollar value\nfor the years 1932,1933, and 1934 were converted to fine ounces at $20.67; previously the price\nof $17 an ounce, which is believed to represent the average value of placer gold throughout the\nProvince, at the old valuation of gold, was used to convert the dollar value to ounces.\n(3.) The prices used in valuing the different metals are: For gold, the average price for\nthe year; for silver, the average New York metal-market price for the year; for lead, the\naverage London metal-market price for the year; and for zinc, the average London metal-\nmarket price for the year. As in 1934, copper in 1935 is valued at the average London metal-\nmarket price. Prior to 1932 copper was valued at the average New York price. The change\nwas made because very little copper was being marketed in the United States on account of\nhigh tariff charges against importations from foreign countries. The bulk of the lead and\nzinc production of the Province is sold on the basis of the London prices of these metals and\nthey are therefore used. The New York, St. Louis, and Montreal lead- and zinc-market prices\ndiffer materially from the London prices of these metals and are not properly applicable to\nthe valuing of the British Columbia production.\nBy agreement with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Provincial Statistical\nBureaus, the following procedure of taking care of the exchange fluctuations has been agreed\nupon:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n(a.) Silver to be valued at the average New York price, adjusted to Canadian funds\nat the average exchange rate.\n(6.) Lead, zinc, and copper to be valued at London prices, adjusted to Canadian funds\nat the average exchange rate.\nThe following table shows the average metal-market prices from 1931 to 1935 in Canadian\nfunds:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nAverage Metal-market Prices for 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935.\nYear.\nSilver\n(New York).\nCoPPEE.\nLead.\nZinc.\nLondon.\nNew York.\nLondon.\nNew York.\nLondon.\nSt. Louis.\n1931 \t\nCents\nper Oz.\n28.700*\n31.671*\n37.8328*\n47.461*\n64.790*\nCents\nper Lb.\nCents\nper Lb.\n8.116*\n5.555\n7.025\n8.428\n8.649\nCents\nper Lb.\n2.7101*\n2.1136*\n2.3916*\n2.436*\n3.133*\nCents\nper Lb.\n4.243\n3.180\n3.869\n3.860\n4.065\nCents\nper Lb.\n2.554*\n2.4056*\n3.2105*\n3.044*\n3.099*\nCents\nper Lb.\n3.640\n1932 \t\n6.3802*\n7.4548*\n7.419*\n7.795*\n2.876\n1933 -\n1934 \t\n4.029\n4.158\n1986 \t\n4.328\n* Prices used in compiling total metal valuations in 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935 Annual Reports.\nGold average price in 1935 was $35.19 ; in 1934, $34.50 ; in 1933, $28.60 ; and in 1932 was $23.47.\n(4.) In 1926 a change was made in computing coal and coke statistics. The practice in\nformer years had been to list coal and coke production (in part) as primary mineral production. Only the coke made in bee-hive ovens was so credited; that made in by-product ovens A 10\nREPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1935.\nwas not listed as coke, but the coal used in making this coke was credited as coal production.\nThe result was that the coke-production figures were incomplete. Starting with the 1926\nAnnual Report, the standard practice of the Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, has been adopted.\nThis consists of crediting all coal produced, including that used in making coke, as primary\nmine production. Coke-making is considered a manufacturing industry. As it is, however,\nof interest to the mining industry, a table included in the Report shows the total coke produced\nin the Province, together with by-products, and the values given by the producers. This\nvaluation of coke is not, of course, included in the total gross mine production of the Province.\nFrom 1918 to 1930 coal production was valued at $5 per long ton. In 1931 the price used\nwas $4.50, and in 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935 the price used has been $4.25 per long ton. In\nmaking comparisons with former years the decline in dollar value is accentuated by this\nlowered price.\nADDENDA.\nThe following figures, compiled from returns on the subject made by companies and\nindividuals, illustrate the amount of capital employed in the mining industry in 1935, the\namount of money distributed in salaries and wages, fuel and electricity, and process supplies\n(explosives, chemicals, drill-steel, lubricants, etc.).\nCapital employed includes: Present cash value of the land (excluding minerals) ; present\nvalue of buildings, fixtures, machinery, tools, and other equipment; inventory value of materials\non hand, ore in process, fuel and miscellaneous supplies on hand; inventory value of finished\nproducts on hand; operating capital (cash, bills and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,\netc.).\nClass.\nCapital\nemployed.\nSalaries and\nWages.\nFuel and\nElectricity.\nProcess\nSupplies.\nLode-mining - \u00E2\u0080\u009E \t\nPlacer-mining\u00E2\u0080\u0094 - -\t\n$94,751,300\n5,444,983\n21,381,112\n18,498,352\n3,164,206\n$12,109,316\n527,235\n3,234,964\n532,314\n349,538\n$2,092,488\n28,058\n290,652\n127,372\n81,069\n$3,751,073\n16,091\n619,699\n110 928\n54,939\nTotals- - - _ _ _\t\n$143,239,953\n$16,753,367\n$2,619,639\n$4,552,730 THE MINING INDUSTRY.\nA 11\nTABLE I.\u00E2\u0080\u0094British Columbia Mine Production, 1934 and 1935.\nQuantity,\n1934.\nQuantity,\n1935.\nValue,\n1934.\nValue,\n1935.\nPer Cent.\nIncrease ( + ) or\nDecrease ( \u00E2\u0080\u0094).\nQuantity.\nValue.\nMetallics.\n$\n297,771\n91,019\n3,567,401\n10,250,985\n714,431\n8,461,859\n2,051\n4,068,792\n7,546,893\n$\n6,584\n441,203\n3,023,768\n12,852,936\n895,058\n10,785,930\n1,275\n5,994,075\n7,940,860\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 97.8\n+384.7\nlb.\n48,084,658\n297,130\n25,181\n347,366,967\n53\n8,572,916\n247,926,844\n38,791,127\n365,244\n30,929\n344,268,444\n39\n9,251,544\n256,239,446\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 19.1\n+ 22.9\n+ 22.8\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 0.9\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 26.4\n+ 7.9\n+ 3.4\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 15.2\n+ 25.4\n+ 25.3\nlb.\n+ 27.5\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 37.8\nSilver _\t\n+ 47.3\nZinc -.\t\n...lb.\n+ 5.2\nTotals \t\n35,001,202\n41,941,689\n+ 19.8\nFuel.\nCoal (2,240 lb.) \t\ntons\n1,347,090\n1,187,968\n5,725,133\n5,048,864\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 11.8\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 11.8\nNON-METALLICS.\n287\n89,732\n87,982\n1,600\n2,045\n2,318\n7,187\n7,281\n361,812\n428\n36,673\n84,982\n1,670\n+ 49.1\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 59.1\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 3.4\nFluxes\u00E2\u0080\u0094limestone, quartz\nGypsum products, gypsite....\ntons\ntons\n63,863\n36,378\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 42.9\n+ 4.4\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 100.0\nPhosphate, dolomite, volcanic ash\nSlate (crushed), talc tons\nSodium carbonate, magnesium sul-\n100.0\n484\n506\n37,367\n390\n584\n46,783\n4,293\n10,395\n453,528\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 19.4\n+ 15.4\n+ 25.2\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 40.3\n+ 42.8\nSulphurt \u00E2\u0080\u0094- \t\ntons\n+ 25.3\n^R\nNo.\n-No.\n560,243\n591,969\n\t\n+ 5.7\nClay Products and oth\nStructural Materials.\nClay Products.\nBrick\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n2,765,307\n180,610\n2,388,451\n910,618\n35,122\n6,815\n81,864\n7,737\n9,549\n42,440\n7,171\n2,512\n30,632\n25,821\n77,404\n7,137\n14,766\n49,328\n3,508\n4,040\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 13.6\n+404.2\n\t\n+ 1.9\n._\n+ 17.5\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 12.5\nFace, paving, sewer brick .\n+278.9\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 5.4\n513\n523\n668,907\n7.8\ns\nNo.\ncts -\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n+ 54.6\n+ 16.2\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 51.8\nDrain-tile, sewer-pipe .__\t\nPottery\u00E2\u0080\u0094glazed or unglazed\n569,297\n+ 60.8\nTotals \t\n193,224\n212,636\n+ 10.5\nOther Structural Materials.\n232,009\n195,363\n249,129\n56,491\n92,503\n314,115\n133,286\n362,996\n95,152\n120,532\n+ 35.4\ntons\n62,124\n82,902\n+ 33.4\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 31.8\n+ 45.7\nStone\u00E2\u0080\u0094building, grindstones\nRubble, riprap, crushed rock\n.tons\ntons\n3,099\n100,428\n4,640\n173,653\n+ 49.7\n+ 72.9\n+ 68.4\n+ 30.3\n825,495\n1,026,081\n+ 24.3\nadian\nTotal value in Can\n42,305,297\n48,821,239\n+ 15.4\n* Canadian funds.\nf Sulphur content of pyrites shipped, estimated sulphur contained in sulphuric acid made from waste smelter-\ngases, and elemental sulphur.

Gold Mines\t\nLECTURES TO PROSPECTORS.\nThe series of fourteen lectures on geology and mining, prepared by the Provincial Mineralogist in 1934, was again presented during the winter of 1935-36 by the Resident Mining\nEngineers and other instructors at the following centres throughout the Province:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nMichel-Natal.\nKelowna.\nHazel ton.\nPrince George.\nSmithers.\nUsk.\nKimberley.\nNew Denver.\nNorth Vancouver.\nPenticton.\nPrince Rupert.\nPrinceton.\nPremier.\nRossland.\nSavona (Vidette mine).\nVancouver (three classes).\nVictoria (two classes).\nSlocan.\nBurnaby (two classes).\nBurton.\nNakusp.\nSanca.\nBoswell.\nCranbrook.\nFort Steele.\nWardner.\nFernie.\nGrasmere (Flagstone Station).\nThe estimated total average attendance at the lectures prior to the completion of the course\nwas 1,268. This work was carried out in conjunction with the Department of Education and\nit is expected that the lectures will be given during the winter of 1936 and 1937.\nPLACER TRAINING CAMPS.\nThe Provincial Government Department of Labour created a plan whereby unmarried,\nphysically fit, unemployed men between the ages of 21 and 25 years were given an opportunity\nto learn Placer-mining. Instruction was carried out under the direction of the Senior Engineer. Camp-sites were not chosen with the idea of finding bonanza deposits of Placer gold,\nbut locations were made close to transportation where a sufficient amount of gold was procurable to demonstrate mining methods. To fulfil this idea, four placer-mining training camps\nwere established in reserved areas a mile long, as follows: On the Nanaimo river; on Emory\ncreek; at Cherry Creek; and on the Fraser river 10 miles north-east of Quesnel. Each camp\nheld twenty-five men. Two instructors were appointed to each tent-camp, one to teach Placer-\nmining methods in all its different phases; the other to instruct the men in the art of camp-\ncooking and how to look after themselves in the hills. This included \" first-aid \" instruction.\nFood and equipment supplied was similar to that used by prospectors.\nInstruction lasted from a month to six weeks, according to ability to learn. In some\ncamps such as Emory creek tuition lasted longer because more construction was necessary to\nbring water for sluicing to the workings. A 32 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1935.\nA total of about fifty men in groups of five, after training was completed, were equipped\nand sent out prospecting within reasonable distances from transportation.\nThis plan was considered advisable on account of the lateness of the season when training\nstopped.\nGold recovered whilst in training was shared amongst the trainees. When prospecting\nall recoveries were shared by parties of five.\nGEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA.\nBy an arrangement made at the time the Province of British Columbia entered Confederation, all geological investigations and mapping in the Province were to be carried on by the\nGeological Survey of Canada; this agreement has been fully adhered to by the Dominion\nGovernment and has proved of great benefit to the mining industry of the Province. Each\nyear several geological parties are kept in the field, and in the aggregate a vast amount of\ninformation is made available to the prospector and the mining engineer in the many excellent\nreports and maps covering British Columbia which have been issued by the Geological Survey\nof Canada.\nFor some years a branch office of the Geological Survey has been maintained in Vancouver,\nwhere copies of maps and reports on British Columbia can be obtained. The officer in charge\nof the British Columbia office is W. E. Cockfield and the address is 512 Winch Building,\nVancouver, B.C.\nDuring the season of 1935 the Geological Survey of Canada had the following officers\nemployed on field-work in British Columbia:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nGeorge Hanson with D. A. McNaughton carried out geological reconnaissance in the\nEagle River-McDame Creek area, north and east of Dease lake. E. D. Kindle made detailed\nexaminations of mineral properties in the vicinity of the Prince Rupert branch of the Canadian\nNational Railways east from Terrace. M. S. Hedley conducted a reconnaissance survey on a\nscale of 4 miles to the inch in the Sibola district. A. Lang carried out a detailed survey in the\nKeithley Creek area of the Cariboo. C. E. Cairnes continued detailed geological mapping in\nthe Bridge River district. H. C. Horwood conducted a reconnaissance survey on 4 miles to\nthe inch west of the Fraser river, southerly from the Nahatlatch river. M. F. Bancroft\nexamined the gold-bearing deposits on the west coast of Vancouver island from Alberni canal\nto north of Esperanza inlet. N. F. G. Davis carried out a reconnaissance survey on a scale\nof 4 miles to the inch in the Camp McKinney area. H. V. Warren carried out similar work\nin the David Creek area. W. E. Cockfield made detailed examinations of mineral properties\nin the Ymir-Nelson area. H. M. A. Rice completed geological mapping on a scale of 1 mile\nto the inch in the Cranbrook area.\nR. Bartlett in charge and A. C. Tuttle carried out topographic mapping on a scale of\n4 miles to the inch in the Eagle River-McDame Creek area; W. H. Miller in charge and S. M.\nSteeves on the Smithers sheet; H. A. S. West on the Fort Fraser sheet; J. A. McDonald on\nthe Giscome sheet; and R. C. McDonald on the Ashcroft and Hope sheets, carried out topographic mapping on a scale of 4 miles to the inch. THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 33\nSYNOPSIS OF MINING LAWS OF B.C.\nBY\nRobert Dunn.\nMineral Act and Placer-mining Act.\nThe mining laws of British Columbia are very liberal in their nature and compare favourably with those of any other part of the world. The terms under which both lode and placer\nclaims and placer leaseholds are held are such that a prospector is greatly encouraged in his\nwork, and the titles, especially for mineral claims and placer-mining leaseholds, are perfect.\nThe fees required to be paid are as small as possible, consistent with a proper administration of\nthe mining industry, and are generally lower than those commonly imposed elsewhere. Provision is also made for the formation of mining partnerships practically without expense, and\na party of miners is enabled to take advantage of these sections of the Acts so that such\nminers may work their claims jointly.\nPlacer-mining leases are granted for a period of twenty years and are approximately 80\nacres in size. On a lode claim of 51 acres the expenditure of $500 in work, which may be spread\nover five years, is required to obtain a Crown grant, and surface rights are obtainable at a\nsmall figure, in no case exceeding $5 per acre.\nThe following synopsis of the mining laws will be found sufficient to enable the miner\nor intending investor to obtain a general knowledge of their scope and requirements; for\nparticulars, however, the reader is referred to the Acts relating to mining, which may be\nobtained from any Mining Recorder, or from the Department of Mines or the King's Printer,\nVictoria, B.C.\nFree Miners' Certificates.\nAny person over the age of 18, and any joint-stock company, may obtain a free miner's\ncertificate on payment of the required fee.\nThe fee to an individual for a free miner's certificate is $5 for one year. To a joint-stock\ncompany having a capital of $100,000, or less, the fee for a year is $50; if capitalized beyond\nthis, the fee is $100.\nThe free miners' certificates run from date of issue and expire on the 31st of May next\nafter its date, or some subsequent 31st day of May (that is to say, a certificate may be taken\nout a year or more in advance if desired). Certificates may be obtained for any part of a year,\nterminating on May 31st, for a proportionately less fee.\nThe possession of this certificate entitles the holder to enter upon all lands of the Crown,\nand upon any other lands on which the right to so enter is not specially reserved, for the\npurpose of prospecting for minerals, locating claims, and mining.\nA free miner can only hold, by location, one mineral claim on the same vein or lode, but\nmay acquire others by purchase. Under the \" Placer-mining Act,\" a free miner may locate\none placer claim or leasehold in his own name and one placer claim or leasehold for each of\ntwo free miners for whom he acts as agent, on any separate creek, river-bed, bar or dry\ndiggings. Other placer claims or leaseholds may be acquired by purchase.\nIn the event of a free miner allowing his certificate to lapse, his mining property (if not\nCrown-granted) reverts to the Crown (subject to the conditions set out in the next succeeding\nparagraph), but where other free miners are interested as partners or co-owners the interest\nof the defaulter becomes vested in the continuing co-owners or partners pro rata, according\nto their interests.\nSix months' extension of time within which to revive title in mining property which has\nbeen forfeited through the lapse of a free miner's certificate is allowed. This privilege is\ngiven only if the holder of the property obtains a special free miner's certificate within six\nmonths after the 31st of May on which his ordinary certificate lapsed. The fee for this special\ncertificate in the case of a person is $15 and in that of a company $300.\nIt is not necessary for a shareholder, as such, in an incorporated mining company to be\nthe holder of a free miner's certificate.\n3 A 34 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1935.\nMineral Claims.\nMineral claims are located and held under the provisions of the \" Mineral Act.\"\nA mineral claim is a piece of land not exceeding in area fifty-one and sixty-five one-\nhundredths acres. The angles must be right angles unless the boundaries, or one of them, are\nthe same as those of a previously recorded claim.\nNo special privileges are allowed for the discovery of new mineral claims or districts.\nA mineral claim is located by erecting three \" legal posts,\" which are stakes having a\nheight of not less than 4 feet above ground and squared 4 inches at least on each face for not\nless than a foot from the top. A tree-stump so cut and squared also constitutes a legal post.\nA cairn of stones not less than 4 feet in height and not less than 1 foot in diameter 4 feet above\nthe ground may also be used as a legal post.\nThe \" discovery post \" is placed at the point where the mineral in place is discovered.\nNos. 1 and 2 posts are placed as near as possible on the line of the ledge or vein, shown by\nthe discovery post, and mark the boundaries of the claim. Upon each of these three posts\nmust be written the name of the claim, the name of the locator, and the date of location. On\nNo. 1 post, in addition, the following must be written: \" Initial post. Direction of Post No.\n2 [giving approximate compass bearing'] feet of this claim lie on the right and \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nfeet on the left of the line from No. 1 to No. 2 posts.\"\nThe location-line between Nos. 1 and 2 posts must be distinctly marked\u00E2\u0080\u0094in a timbered\nlocality by blazing trees and cutting underbrush, and in bare country by monuments of earth\nor rock not less than 2 feet in diameter at the base, and at least 2 feet high\u00E2\u0080\u0094so that the line\ncan be distinctly seen.\nMineral claims must be recorded in the Mining Recorder's office for the mining division\nin which they are situate within fifteen days from the date of location, one day extra being\nallowed for each 10 miles of distance from the recording office after the first 10 miles. If a\nclaim is not recorded in time it is deemed abandoned and open for relocation, but if the original\nlocator wishes to relocate he can only do so by permission of the Gold Commissioner of the\ndistrict and upon the payment of a fee of $10. This applies also to a claim abandoned for\nany reason whatever.\nMineral claims are, until the Crown grant is issued, held practically on a yearly lease,\na condition of which is that during such year assessment-work be performed on the same to the\nvalue of at least $100, or a payment of such sum be made to the Mining Recorder. Such assessments must foe recorded foefore the expiration of the year, or the claim is deemed abandoned.\nIf, however, the required assessment-work has been performed within the year, but not\nrecorded within that time, a free miner may, within thirty days thereafter, record such\nassessment-work upon payment of an additional fee of $10. The actual cost of the survey of a\nmineral claim, to an amount not exceeding $100, may also be recorded as assessment-work.\nIf, during any year, work is done to a greater extent than the required $100, any further sum\nof $100\u00E2\u0080\u0094but not less\u00E2\u0080\u0094may be recorded and counted as further assessments; such excess\nwork must be recorded during the year in which it is performed. All work done on a mineral\nclaim between the time of its location and recording may be counted as work done during the\nfirst period of one year from the recording. As soon as assessment-work to the extent of $500\nis recorded and a survey made of the claim, the owner of a mineral claim is entitled to a\nCrown grant on payment of a fee of $25, and giving the necessary notices required by the Act.\nLiberal provisions are also made in the Act for obtaining mill-sites and other facilities in the\nway of workings and drains for the better working of claims.\nPlacer Claims.\nPlacer-mining is governed by the \" Placer-mining Act,\" and by the interpretation clause\nits scope is defined as \" the mining of any natural stratum or bed of earth, gravel, or cement\nmined for gold or other precious minerals or stones.\" Placer claims are of four classes, as\nfollows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\" ' Creek diggings ': any mine in the bed of any stream or ravine:\n\" ' Bar diggings ': any mine between high- and low-water marks on a river, lake, or other\nlarge body of water:\n\" ' Dry diggings ': any mine over which water never extends: THE MINING INDUSTRY. A 35\n\" ' Precious-stone diggings ': any deposit of precious stones, whether in veins, beds, or\ngravel deposits.\"\nThe following provisions as to extent of the various classes of claims are made by the\nAct:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\" In ' creek diggings ' a claim shall be two hundred and fifty feet long, measured in the\ndirection of the general course of the stream, and shall extend in width one thousand\nfeet, measured from the general course of the stream five hundred feet on either side\nof the centre thereof:\n\" In ' bar diggings ' a claim shall be :\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n\"(a.) A piece of land not exceeding two hundred and fifty feet square on any bar\nwhich is covered at high water; or\n\"(6.) A strip of land two hundred and fifty feet long at high-water mark, and in\nwidth extending from high-water mark to extreme low-water mark:\n\" In ' dry diggings ' a claim shall be two hundred and fifty feet square.\"\nThe following provision is made for new discoveries of placer-mining ground:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\" If any free miner, or party of free miners, discovers a new locality for the prosecution\nof placer-mining and such discovery be established to the satisfaction of the Gold Commissioner, placer claims of the following sizes shall be allowed to such discoverers, namely:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"To one discoverer, one claim 600 feet in length;\n\" To a party of two discoverers, two claims amounting together to 1,000 feet in length;\n\" And to each member of a party beyond two in number, a claim of the ordinary size only.\n\" The width of such claims shall be the same as ordinary placer claims of the same class:\nProvided that where a discovery claim has been established in any locality no further discovery\nshall be allowed within five miles therefrom, measured along the watercourses.\"\nEvery placer claim shall be as nearly as possible rectangular in form, and marked by four\nlegal posts at the corners thereof, firmly fixed in the ground. On each of such posts shall be\nwritten the name of the locator, the number and date of issue of his free miner's certificate, the\ndate of the location, and the name given to the claim. In timbered localities boundary-lines of\na placer claim shall be blazed so that the posts can be distinctly seen, underbrush cut, and\nthe locator shall also erect legal posts not more than 125 feet apart on all boundary-lines. In\nlocalities where there is no timber or underbrush, monuments of earth and rock, not less than\n2 feet high and 2 feet in diameter at base, may be erected in lieu of the last-mentioned legal\nposts, but not in the case of the four legal posts marking the corners of the claim.\nA placer claim must be recorded in the office of the Mining Recorder for the mining division\nwithin which the same is situate, within fifteen days after the location thereof, if located within\n10 miles of the office of the Mining Recorder by the most direct means of travel. One additional day shall be allowed for every 10 miles additional or fraction thereof. The number of\ndays shall be counted inclusive of the days upon which such location was made, but exclusive of\nthe day of application for record. The application for such record shall be under oath and in\nthe form set out in the Schedule to the Act. A claim which shall not have been recorded within\nthe prescribed period shall be deemed to have been abandoned.\nTo hold a placer claim for more than one year it must be rerecorded before the expiration\nof the record or rerecord.\nA placer claim must be worked by the owner, or some one on his behalf, continuously, as\nfar as practicable, during working-hours. If work is discontinued for a period of seventy-two\nhours, except during the close season, lay-over, leave of absence, sickness, or for some other\nreason to the satisfaction of the Gold Commissioner, the claim is deemed abandoned.\nLay-overs are declared by the Gold Commissioner upon proof being given to him that the\nsupply of water is insufficient to work the claim. Under similar circumstances he has also the\npower to declare a close season, by notice in writing and published in the Gazette, for all or\nany claims in his district. Tunnel and drain licences are also granted by him on the person\napplying giving security for any damage that may arise. Grants of right-of-way for the construction of tunnels or drains across other claims are also granted on payment of a fee of $25,\nthe owner of the claims crossed having the right for tolls, etc., on the tunnel or drain which may\nbe constructed. These tolls, however, are, so far as the amount goes, under the discretion of\nthe Gold Commissioner. A 36 REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES, 1935.\nCo-owners and Partnerships.\nIn both the \" Mineral \" and \" Placer-mining \" Acts provision is made for the formation of\nmining partnerships, both of a general and limited liability character. These are extensively\ntaken advantage of and have proved very satisfactory in their working. Should a co-owner\nfail or refuse to contribute his proportion of the expenditure required as assessment-work on\na claim he may be \" advertised out,\" and his interest in the claim shall become vested in his\nco-owners who have made the required expenditure, pro rata according to their former\ninterests.\nIt should not be forgotten that if any co-owner permit his free miner's certificate to lapse,\nthe title of his associates is not prejudiced, but his interest reverts to the remaining co-owners;\nprovided that said co-owner has not taken advantage of the six months' period of grace allowed\nfor the taking-out of a special free miner's certificate, thus reviving the title to his interest.\nPlacer-mining Leases.\nLeases of unoccupied Crown lands approximately 80 acres in extent may be granted by\nthe Gold Commissioner of the district after location has been made by staking along a \" location-line \" not more than one-half a mile (2,640 feet) in length. In this line one bend, or\nchange of direction, is permitted. Where a straight line is followed two posts only are\nnecessary\u00E2\u0080\u0094namely, an \" initial post \" and a \" final post.\" Where there is a change of direction a legal post must be placed to mark the point of the said change. The leasehold is allowed\na width not in excess of one-quarter mile (1,320 feet), and the locator, both on his \" initial\npost \" and in his notice of intention to apply, which is posted at the office of the Mining\nRecorder, is required to state how many feet are included in the location to the right and how\nmany feet to the left of the location-line.\nThat section of the Act dealing with the staking of placer-mining leases follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\" 105a. (1.) For the purpose of locating a placer leasehold, a line to be known as the\n' location-line' shall be marked on the ground by placing a legal post at each end, one post\nto be known as the ' Initial Post' and the other as the ' Final Post.' The direction of the\nlocation-line may change at not more than one point throughout its length, and an intermediate\nlegal post shall be placed at the point at which the direction changes. The total length of the\nlocation-line, following its change of direction (if any), shall not exceed two thousand six\nhundred and forty feet.\n\" (2.) Upon the initial post and the final post shall be written the words ' Initial Post'\nand ' Final Post' respectively, together with the name of the locator and the date of the\nlocation. On the initial post shall also be written the approximate compass-bearing of the\nfinal post, and a statement of the number of feet of the leasehold lying on the right and on\nthe left of the location-line, as viewed from the initial post, not exceeding in the aggregate a\nwidth of thirteen hundred and twenty feet, thus: ' Direction of Final Post,\nfeet of this claim lie on the right and feet on the left of the location-line.' In addition\nto the foregoing, where there is a change of direction in the location-line as marked on the\nground, the number ' 1 ' shall be written on the initial post; the number ' 2 ' shall be written\non the intermediate post; and the number ' 3 ' shall be written on the final post. There also\nshall be affixed to the initial post a notice to the following effect, namely: ' Application will\nbe made under the \" Placer-mining Act \" for a lease of the ground within this location.'\n\" (3.) The location-line shall at the time of location be marked between the legal posts\nthroughout its length so that it can be distinctly seen; in a timbered locality, by blazing trees\nand cutting underbrush, and in a locality where there is neither timber nor underbrush, by\nplacing legal posts or monuments of earth or stones not less than two feet high and not less\nthan two feet in diameter at the base, so that the location-line can be distinctly seen.\n\"(4.) Where, from the nature or shape of the surface of the ground, it is impracticable\nto mark the location-line of a leasehold as provided by this section, the leasehold may be located\nby placing legal posts as witness-posts, as near as possible to the location-line, and writing on\neach witness-post the distance and compass-bearing of some designated point on the location-\nline from the witness-post; and the distances and compass-bearing so written on the witness-\nposts shall be set out in the application for the lease and in any lease granted thereon. THE MINING INDUSTRY.\nA 37\n\"(5.) The locator shall, within thirty days after the date of the location, post a notice in\nForm 1 in the office of the Mining Recorder, which notice shall set out:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"(a.) The name of the intending applicant or each applicant if more than one, and\nthe numbers of their free miners' certificates:\n\"(6.) The date of the location:\n\"(c.)
