It is lo be hoped that the government will sob 11 reframe the Placer Mining Act which.iu its present shape is notoriously unsatisfactory We understand thai it was the in teittiou last year to appoint a com mission to draft a new Act but as to what has actually been done in this connection the public has not 8"been advised. 11 is very necessary to appoint such a commission with out delay, a commission that can get out a workable Act to. supplant the wretched' .piece of legislation under which alluvial niining is today conducted,. Among the more important-points requiring attention in .the new Act are, we think, the following: All distinctions such as "creel- "bench" or "bar" should be done away with, and the size of all placer claims should be 250 feet.sqnare. In o:der to do away with the con fusion .- arising from the present method all claims should be given the full christian name and surname of the locator. ,If any free miner or party of tree miners discovers a new mine and such discovery 'shall be established to the satisfaction of the Recorder size should be allowed, viz. To one discoverer, one claim 500 feet square. To a 'parly of two discoverers two claims, amounting together to 1 poo feel in length by 500 feet in width. To each member of a- party beyond two in number a claim of the ordinary size only. The Gold Commissioner or Mining Recorder should loith with post culside his office, for public in- 1, a notice giving full particulars in regard to location of my discovery claim awarded. A free miner locating a placer claim should be required to define its boundaries by erecting a legal post at each corner of his claim, on each of "which/posts should be written the dale of location and the name of the locator with the number and dale of "issue of his Free Certificate The locator ilso be required lo erect cg'tlf posts or mounds, not more than aue hundred feet apart, between the corner prists, or to blaze the lines if iu a limbered loealitv. t Section 23 should 1>2 amended so as to allow the locator or" the placer claim Jifteen days after staking in which lo prospect and record the samr if tbe claim be located within leu miles, of the Office of the Mining Recorder.
