EDITORIAL NOTES. •Siime time ago wc were given to understand lhat men IVOlild be employed to look iif lei- government roods In Ihe district just us soon us the buow commenced lo disappear and the frost to conic out of the ground, bul up to the present, although over tiie Boundary mountain and Dump McKinney divides lhe road is almost Impassable, and hu. been entirety impassable, nothing has so fir been done tin!, we ur.-Jawui-e of, lo remedy the existing state of affairs. We do not liluiue the inspect orof roads for this, for uell'iire we aware'mutiey cannot be spent upon public works before It Is appropriated, hut surely il is time for lhe government to adopt a new system whereby n certain amount of tbe funds appropriated for the carrying out of such work, may be held over until the spring, and spent just, al llie time when it is most needed and would do the most good. Under the present system the mountain torrents, caused by the inelling snow, are al- ullowed free and unrestricted liberty to do any amount of damage to lhe highways, which later on in the summer require much labor and money to repair, whereas if these torrents were properly guided nnd controlled, niuch of the damage now done by them would he obviated and a consequent saving of fluids would result, and the I raveling public also saved a great amount of inconvenience. Thk honorable the minister of niines has a measure before the provincial legislature which hits for its object I lie securing the safety and good health of workmen engaged in or about Ihe iiii'taliferous niines iu the province, by the appointment of an inspector of niines. The measure will no doubt commend itself to lhe house and will become, law. as it ccrtainiy should, as too much cure cannot be taken to preserve I lie lives of those whose occupation is, even under llie mosl. favoi-a.dc- circumstances,attended wiih danger. This kind of legislation is ull right, and therefore can be commended, The measure now before the house, having lor its object the amendment of lhe Mineral Acl. cf 18o8, may be &,iiu to contain many valiialile features, uud in fact some of the clauses would constitute, should lhey liecome law, the best amendments that have ever been introduced to tiie much-abused nn-.i often-amended Mineral .Vet. Among the salient feat tires of I he new measure, thu following are noted : The repeal of .section 8 ofIhe old net, which compelled any one working in and around mines to take out it free miner's license. • ( The repeal of section 12 of the act of 1880, one of the principal features of which was thai, any one taking up a iniiierul claim on occupied land, before commencing work, was obliged lode- posit security to cover any possible damage that might be done to the properly. The new ineiisitre provides for such saciu-ily, but docs not compel ils deposit, without the same is request c.l by the owner of llle bind. l.-i the matter of abandoning mineral ground, the presenl act. differs materially from the old. as formerly a verbid uotillcai inn of abandonment was held lu be guud, ur if a written doriiiiicul, Ihe uli.-indonineiit was held to have been absolute from the date of tin- document, whereas llie proposed amendment compels the registration oi' a document, the abandonment to dale froui the dale ul record of sueh document, Amu ber feature uf the new tneasuru nlsu is that which pre. ide.. tliat- tin* survey ofa liuni-rul claim, lull to ex cued $i(KI ivorili. slinll conslItitle work done on the claim, wherein, former acts did distinctly forbid ibis. The acquisition of sin-face rights to mineral claims is also nindc possible uniler the new lueilHII'i-,llu; sllptll.tlloll being llnil $6 per acn' ahull lie paid lo the giiveriimeul I'm- lliu same, A novel seelioti also is that which pin* viaes ihul where it lode Is supposed lo ci'osMivalli'yorilipaiindi'riinalbi.'ialile posit, uny one making a sworn statement before a mining recorder Or gold commissioner ihal sueh is supposed to be the case, uml desiring to prospeel for ihe snuie, permission is grunted the applicant to prospect llu-snid ground for three nionlhs, the permit lo be extended from (Urn* to time,-provided il is shown thnl not less lllllll $100 worth of wurk luis been done during lhe life of the penult! Ei.ch permit and the extension nf Ihefsumu will In. subject to ti record fee, Touching one or Iwo of the above proposed n nilinenls, we would ask; is il lhe intention to allow the .. rk : done on the survey of a claim to stand | in lieu of ilie ordinary yearly assessment exacted linder 1111* old mineral tact? For instance, should a claim he located and then surveyed (luring the Hrst ycnr of its existence, would the .survey of the eluiin constitute an as- ' sessmenl under the meaning of I he act ? Again, would $500 north of work done under a permit, as provided for by sec. tion 12of lhe amendments, providing tlle ledge was discoveiid and recorded, constitute a sufficient amount of work lo entitle lhe holder of the claim lo obtain at once a crown grant? At present these points are hardly made clear. In our issue of the 51 h .inst. we took occasion tn ask a few questions re the eligibility of the town ot Grand Forks for incorporation, and also us regards tbe eligibility of the candidal es seeking to Illl positions on the municipal board Iu the event of uu election taking place, We did so, not from th" motives Imputed In us by Ihe Grand Furks Miller, bill frum a true desire, shuuld occasion arise, of being able tu refute lhe grounded public conviction thnt tho candidates for municipal honors will be disqualified, on the grounds of their not lieing able lo'eoniply with thai seelion of lhe ail granting tlie privilege nf Incorporation to the towns of Nelson, Ilnssland and Grand Forks, which compels the candidates to show thnt they are theowners of a certain amount of legist ered property. That the candidates nre possessors of the properly 111 a sense is readily granted, but. is tlle property registered? That is the ques- llull. If it is, then a huge section of lhe peuple of this district are laboring under a delusion, from wliieli, for tlle welfare of Grand Forks, lhey should he disabused, and if not, then il was preposterous on I he part uf the editor of the Miner to so heavily lax his intellect In the production of lhe following unique effusion! The Midway Advanoo of April "th seems In have gone out of its intltiitlc to a very extreme dogroo in asking impertinent questions regarding tlie incorporation of tliu tu.vn of Grand forks into a cily. What reason Llie Advance lias fur over-reaching its territory, *.s a news- paper, is obvioUB to anyone who will reaoh out into speculation consorvattvoness. Tlio Miner knows its own business anil attends strictly lo its own iitl'nirs and never questions what actually pertains fo tlle good, bad or inilifrerent. of nny of ils sister cities, while the editor of the Advunce takes exeepl Ion to anything that is progression lo the adjuncts of an outside prosperous cily. "Speculation conservativeness" is really very rich, ns is alsu lhe statement following, in which the Miner assures its readers and ourselves that it navel-questions what actually pertains to lhe good, bad Ol indifferent uf any town in the district excepting its own. We can i-ciidily forgive llle Miner for ibis, »« we reaiissthat f':"- "ncc.it bus toid lhe lllllll, a quality generally foreign lo its utterances, We really have no desire to call nttenlion to any. thing that is ' progress.o.i lo the adjuncts of un outside prosperous city."

LOCAL AND DISTRICT. Captain Adams is expected to arrive at Midway shortly. Mr. Miinroe moved into town with bis family during the past week. Hucksters from across the line are again plying their vocation in tlie district. Mr. S. Mangott of Fairview was a visitor during the past week, and while here he took occasion to Invest a Utile In Midway real estate. A bacon and sugar famine is raging in the towns of Boundary creek just at present, but as freight is now commencing to move this state of affairs will soon lie remedied. As soon as lumber can be procured, some twenty more buildings wili be added to those already on Ihe town- site. In fact, it may be said lbat before fall quite a building boom will be in operation, Mitchell & Co. have broken ground and are busily engaged in filling up machinery, etc., preparatory tnniaiiii- faeluriug brick here, which, judging from the quality of tbe material, will lie of lir.-j|,-clas*)ijuality. A number of I'PBidi'OtH have ordered fruil ami imi.iui'oial trees, which will bu employed toheauiifv the grouuds around Iheir tesideticus here, The trees are lieing procured fropi Mr. ll). HuU'h i -ii. -cs hus previously been overlooked, or lightly run over, and that diligent search ir- being rewarded. Presently as the snow disappears from thu higher ranges, the Kjilierc. of labor will be wide y extended, and tho result will bo a largo number of loco-* tion-* will be taken u]i in parts of tho country now supposed to be devoid of precious metals. The Tin Horn claim lu Camp Fairview, lying south of the Smuggler, altogether belies its name, aa already it may be said to bo proven to bo a wonderful property aud one which, If reports aro to be relied upon, for which the owners have refused an enormous sum of money. Tho claim has been developed by a scries of tunnels, which have been driven upon tho ledge ut stated intervals. This method of development hus been rendered possible, as tho vein crops out ou the face of the mountain and stands in a nearly perpendicular position. It Is roported that the Minnehaha company, which is operating the claim of the san-e mime In Camp McIClnnuy, has struck it rich, an ut the bottom of toe shaft, thoy now have a 7-foot vein of free-milling oro.

On Thursday last wurk was started on the Alma claim in Graham's camp, closo to Midway. Tho Alma is a recent location made by Messrs. Norrtsutidhockwilh, who.aftor having the ledge stripped to lind tho course of the vein, hnvo commenced the drifting of a tunnel, which will crosscut tho oro body—which on tho surface Is over 2(1 feet wide- ut a depth of 70 feet.
