'' AS EXISTING ON DCCEMBER 1ST, 1897, - BT - ARCHER MARTIN. ■ARRISTBR-AT-LAWi (OF MARTIN A LANGLEY. VICTORIA, B.C.) PART l.-LODE CLAIMS. INTERPRETATION OF TERMS. "MINERAL OLAIM" means the personal right of property or interest in any mine. "MINE" means any land in which any vein or lode or rock in place, shall be mined for gold or othA minerals, precious or base, except coal. "MINERAL" means all valuable deposits of gold, silver, plat- inum, iridium, or any of the platinum group of metals, mercury, lead, copper, iron, tin, zinc, niclcel, aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, bismuth, boron, bromine, cadmium, chromium, cobalt. Iodine, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosptaorufl, E lumbago, potassium, sodium, strontium, sulphur (or any com ination of these elements with themselves or with any other elements), asbestos, emery, mica, and mineral pigments. ••MINING PROPERTY" includes every mineral claim, ditch, millsite, or water-right, used for mining purposes, and all other things belonging to a mine or used in the working thereof. "ROCK IN PLAGE" shall be deemed to mean and include min- *This is not a bare reprint, without arrangement, of the acts relating to mining but an attempt at a synopsis of existing laws Intended for ready and practical use by mining men. For this reason the various forms contained in the schedules to thb Acts are not given, for tbey can be obtained from the Mining Re- corder, and for the same reason the miner is not burdened by elaborate details regarding matters of secondary importance, or of unusual occurrence: in such cases the principal points are noticed and reference made to the act for further particulars. * The terms "Commissioner," "Recorder" and "Miner" are fre- quently used for brevity instead of "Gold Commissioner," "Mining Recorder" and "Free Miner." Whenever reference is made to what Is popularly known as the "Paris Belle" case, the case of the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway Co. v. Jerry, Glass, and Paris Belle Gold Mining Co. ii meant. This very important suit relating to the Paris Belle mine of Bossland. was decided by the Hon. Chief Justice Davie on May 90, 1896, in favour of the plaintifrs. On the 3rd of May, 1897, the Full Court reversed the decision of the Chief Justice on the most important points. Notice of appeal has been given to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. But so far as miners in general are concerned the points at issue are settled by the new deftailtions of "Rook in Place" and "Valuable Deposits of Mineral," which were passed by the British Colum- bia Legislature on May 8th, 1897, five days after the decision of the Full Court, 5 B.C.

"VALUABLE DEPOSITS OP MINERAL" siiall be deemed to mean and include mineral "in place" In appreciable quantity» having a present or prospective value suffleiont to Justify explor- ation. "VEIN" or "LODE" includes "rock in place." "LEJGAL POST" means a stoke standing not less than four feet above the ground, and squared or faced on four >^Ides for at least one foot from the top, and each side so squared or faced shall measure at least four inches on its face so far as squared or faced, and any stump or tree cut off and squared or faced to the above height and size. Provided, when the survey Is made the centre of the tree or stump where It enters tho ground Sihall be taken as the point to or from which measure- ment shall be made. "FREE MINER" means a person or Joint stock company law- fully possessed of a free miner's certificate In his or its own name. "LOCATION LINE" means the straight Hue betwe«n posts numbers one and two. FREE MINER'S CERTIFICATES AND RIGHTS. 1. Every person over eighteen years of age, and every Joint stock company shall he entitled to all the privileges of a free miner, on taking out a free miner's certificate, the cost of which to an individual is $5.00, ani to a Joint stock company, with nominal capital of $100,000 or >ess, $50; if capital is over that sum, then $100 a year, and which certificate Is not transferable; it may be taken out for one or more years; to run from date of Issue, or from expiration of applicant's then existinsr certificate. 2. Any Gold Commissioner or any Mining Recorder may issue free miner's certificates; If the ofilcial be absent from his ofl9ce the fee may be left Mith the person in charge, and certificate dates from time of application; if lost or destroyed a "substituted cer- tificate" may be obtained on payment of $1.00. Anyone engaging In mining without a license Is liable to a fine of $25.00 and costs. 8. No one shall be recognized as having any right or Interest in any mining property unless he has an unexpired certificate, and fail- ure to obtain a new certificate on or before the day following the expiration shall cause an absolute forfeiture of mining rights; but if a co-owner falls to keep up his certificate his share shall not cause a forfeiture of the claim, but it nhall vest in his co- owners pro rata according to their Interests. Sliareholders in joint stock companies need not hold certificates; nor shall these provis- ions apply to claims for which Crown grants have been Issued. If any one acquires a mine or claim the fact that the person from whom title is derived has failed to keep up his certificate shall not cause a forfeiture, If the new owner within one month of knowledge of defect pays the fees which ought to have been paid. (NOTE : In certain cases the Lieutenant-Oovemor-in-counoil may relieve from forfeitures under thl.s section. See sec. 81, post. See also the regulations of Order-in-L'ouncil publisher! in "B.C. Gazette" November 4th. 1897, taking effect on and after November 15th, 1897, to avoid forfeiture by reason of omission to take out license. A new certificate must be taken out and an application made to the Minister of Mines in form given.) 4. A free miner shall, during the continuance of certificate, have the right to enter, locate, prospect and mine upon any waste lands of tJie Crown, and lands where right to mine has been reserved by the Crown, excepting ail land occupied by any building and any land falling within curtilage of any dwelling house, and any orchard, and any land for the time being actually under cultivation, and any land law- fully occupied for mining purposes other than placer mining; and also any Indian, military, and naval reservation; provided that where bv hydraulic works under Placer Act. 1891. land sli.nll Imve been uncovered no location shall be made, unless by those operating the works, for six months after the lahd shall have bsen so uncovered. / ROBERT S.

MINING LAWS-LODE CLAIMS. 5 (NOTE: The title to a claim Is equivalent to a lease for a year, vested In Its owner: the doctrine of Implied surrender does not apply to It. Holders of claims are not entitled to deal with any portion of the surface of the land, except in accordance with the min- ing law. Are not entitled to sell or dispose of .same. Nelson V Jerry, 5 B.C. Reps. 396,) 6. In the eyent of lands being lawfully occupied for other than mlnlDg purposes (not being a railway subsidy grant) security to the satisfaction of the Recorder for any loss or damage must be given subsequent to entry, If required by the owner, and If re- fused by the minor his right to mine shall cease and determine, and after entry full compensation shall be made to occupant or owner for any loss or damage caused by such entry. (NOTE: The giving of this security is i\ directory provision for protection of land owner, and is not a pre-requisite to the acquisition by the miner of his claim. Nelson v. Jerry, .") B.C. Reps. 316.) 6. A miner has all the privileges granted to miners under the Placer Mining Act. 7. No miner shall be entitled to any interest in any mineral c'.'ilui which has been located and recorded by any othei* miner unli'NH sv.ch Interest is specified and set forth in soma writing signed by the party so locating such claim. (NOTE: The defence of want of writing must be specially pleaded. Wells v. Petty, 5 B.C. Reps. S.'iS. See al.so Stussi v. Brown. 5 B.C. Reps. 3c^0.) 8. Except by purchase a miner may not hold in bis own name, or in the name of any other person, more than one min- eral claim on the same lode or vein, but may hold by location a claim upon any separate vein or lode. 9. Except the claim be held as real estate, the Interest of a miner therein shall be deemed n chattel Interest, equivalent to a lease for one year, and thence from year to year, subject to the performance of the terms and conditions of the Act. 10. When a tunnel is run for the development of a vein or lode, the owner of such tunnel shall, in addition to any mineral claim legally held by him. have the right to all veins or lodes discov- ered in such tunnel: Provided, that the ground containing such veins or lodes be marked out by him as a mineral claim, and be duly recorded within fifteen days after such discovery: Provided further, that the veins or lodes are not Included in any existing claim. 11. The holder of a claim may at discretion of Commissioner ob- tain a license to run a tunnel or drain for any purpose connected with the working of the claim through lands occupied or not, having first deposited security for damages with Oommissloner. 12. When a lode is supposed to cross a valley or under an al- luvial deposit, and where such lode is Indicated by its appearance on the f-'de of the mountain lending Into such /an"y, nwy miner, upon making a sworn statement before the Recorder or Oommis- sloner that there is a lode which has Indications of running through and under such alluvial deposit, shall be entitled to a per- mit for three months to search for such lode over the area of a mineral claim with the privilege of having such permit extended, on his proving to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that he has bona fide searched for such lode and has expended, either in cash or labour, or both, not less than one hundred dollars In such search. Durl.ig the existence of such permit the ground covered by the same shall not be open to record by any other miner. The fee for suc'i permit, and each renewal of the same, shall be the same as a fee for a record. 13. A miner may kill game at any season for his own use while actually prospecting or mining. 14. A claim shall not be open to location during the last Illness nor, unless with trie written permission of the Commissioner, for twelve months after the death of the lawful holder. 16. No miner shall suffer from any acts of omission, commis- sion or delays on the part of Government ofllclals; and where evidence of record or situation has been destroyed, lost or effaced by fault of others, courts may relieve. (NOTE: In the case of Wells v. Petty, 5 B.C. Reps. 353, de- cided at Victoria March 25th, 1897, it was held that under an agreement regarding a claim by which a miner was to be "in on it," he took a half interest.) . O'TOOLE 5 W. G.

A mineral claim shoald be, as nearly as posHlble, rectangular In form ; all angles should be rlffht anglea, except when a boundary line of a preyToualy surveyed claim la adopted as common to both, but the lines need not necessarily be moridlanal; it must not exceed 1,600 feet long by 1,B00 wide, and must be marlced by two lesal posts, numbered 1 and 2, placed as nearly as possible on the line of th^- ledge or vein, and not more than 1,600 feet apart. In defining size the claim is measured horizontally, irrespective of the inequalities of the surface of the ground. (NOTE: Hon. Mr. Justice McOrelght held in the "Red Oak" case that the location was invalidated by the location line being run at right angles to the course of the vein instead of along it. The location Is not void because, as staked, it exceeds the area given in act; the surveyor may correct the error without moving No. 1 post If the alteration does not effect the previously acquired rights of adjacent owners. See Granger v. Fotherfngham, t B.C.. 680.) 17. The line from 1 to 2 is the location line, and the claim may extend any number of feet to the right and to the left of said location line, provided the total distance oa both sides does not exceed 1,600 feet. 18. A legal post marked "Discovery Post" must also be placed on tJie lode where the "rock In place" was found. When survey is made the surveyor shall be guided by the reooris ■ f the claim, the sketch plan on the back of the declaration ma-i « by the owner when claim was recorded, posts one and two, and the notice on number one, the initial post.

If claim not recorded as above it shall be deemed to be abandoned. ABANDONMENT AND RE-LOCATION. 31. A miner shall not be entitled to re-locate any clnim or por- tion, which he failed to record within the prescribed period, or which he shall have abandoned or forfeited, unless with written permission of the Commissioner, failing which he has no interest or claim. (NOTE : In Granger v. Potherlngham. supra, it was held that, where owners of a claim permitted a third person to locate it in his own name whereupon he, without previous binding agreement to that effect, conveyed his title for a consideration, that was not a re-location by the original owners. Any portion of a claim may be abandoned, as well as the whole.) ;^2. Abandonment of a claim may be made at any time by notice in writing, and all interest ceases from date of record of such notice. 33. On abandonment the miner has right to remove (within time to be fixed by the Recorder) all machinery, property and extracted ore. (NOTE: In the case of Pellent v. Almore. Mr. Jiisti e Dralie decided, February, 1897, that re-location could not be made without the written permission of the (oramisslouer, even in cases where the owner did not willingly abandon the claim, but the abandonment or forfeiture was caused by failure to comply with the Act. In Nelson v. Jerry, 5 B.C. :W(i, however, it whs held that the only abandonment ( onclusive against the owner is by noti e of abandonment.) ANNUAL WORK, 34. To hold a duly located and recorded mineral claim for more than one year from date of record, work to the value of one Imudred dollars must be done on the claim each year from the date of record. All work done outside of a claim with intent to work the same shall, if such work have direct relation and be in direct proximity to the claim, be deemed to be done on the claim. 35. An affidavit made by the holder or his agent giving a detailed statement of the work done must be filed with the Commissioner or Recorder, and a certificate of work obtained, and recorded (fee $2.50) before the expiration of each year from the date of record, otherwise the claim shall be deemed vacant and aband- oned. Instead of performing the work the annual sum of $100 may be paid to the Recorder in lieu thereof, and a receipt there- for should be obtained and recorded. 36. A ly miner or company of miners, holders of adjoining min- eral claims or miners who locate, record and work adjoining claims, not exceeding eight in number in partnership, may, subject to filing a notice of intention with the Commissioner or Recorder, perform on any one or more of such claims all the work required to entitle him or them to a certifi- cate of work for each claim, which must be recorded in each and every year, otherwise the claim shall be deemed to be abandoned. 37. Any money or labour expended in constructing a tunnel to de- velop a vein or lode will bo deemed to have been expended on such vein or lode. RIGHTS BY PRIORITY. 38. In case of dispute as to location of a mineral claim the tit'o to the claim shall be recognized according to the priority of such location, subject to any question as to the validity of tho record itself, and to the miner having complied with the Act 39. No irregularity happening previous to the dat. of tlic record of the last certificate of work shall affect the title (which up to that time shall be assumed to be perfect) unless the Attorney- General takes action, based on fraud. (NOTE: In the Grand Prize case, reported in the Victoria Times for May 1, 1897, the Hon. Mr. Justice McColl held that where there Is a bona tide actual occupation within the meaning of the Act, even where the location is defective, another person cannot enter on the claim for the purpose of locating it.) 12 Armstrong & Morrison MANUFACTURERS OP HYDRAULIC MINING PLANTS, Rivetted Steel Pipe, (all sizes), Gates, Monitors, Elevators, Etc., including Ore Cars in different sizes, Pipes, Valves, Hydrants, Etc.

MINING LAWS-LODE CLAIMS 1.3 CBRTIPICATB OF IMPROVEMENTS— AD VERSES. 40. To obtain from Commissioner a certificate of Improvement* to a mineral claim the holder must have (a) done or caused to be done work on the claim itself to the value of $500 exclusive of all houses, buildings and othei' like improvements; work done by predecessors in title shall be al- lowed: (b) found a vein or lode within the limits of such claim; (c) had the claim surveyed by an authorized provincial land sur- veyor, who shall have made three plats of the claim, and who shall have accurately defined and marked the boun iarles of such claim upon the ground, and indicated the corners by placing monuments or legal posts at the angles thereof, and upon such monuments or legal posts shall be inscribed by him the name and oflacial designation of the claim, and the corner repre- sented thereby, and who shall have, on completion of the gurvey, forwarded at once the original field notes and plan direct to the Lands and Works Department; (d) posted a copy of the plat of the claim, and a notice in form "F" (of Intention to apply for certificate of Improvements) on the claim and in the Recorder's office for sixty days; (e) inserted a copy of notice In the British Columbia Gazette and In a newspaper published and circulated In the livlslon in whUb the claim Is situated, or, In the absence of such local paper, In tae one nearest thereto, for at least 60 days prior to application, v/l Ich Insertion can bo made any time after posting notice on claim; (f) filed with Recorder copy of sur- veyor's field notes and plat Immediately after posting notice on claim; and (g) filed with the Recorder affidavit of himself, or his agent. In the required form "G" to the effect that the above con- ditions have been complied with. (a.) By the Mineral Act Amendment Act, 1897 it was pro- vided: The owner of a mineral claim who has had his claim surveyed within one year from the date of the record of the claim, or if the claim was recorded before the passing of this Act, (May 8th) then If surveyed within one year from the passing of this Act, and has filed in the office of the Recorder In the Mining Division in which the claim is situated, a declar- ation by n Provincial Land Surveyor, stating that he has sur- veyed the claim as required by sub-sect'on (c) of section 36 of tie "Mineral Act," and that he has delivered two plats of the cljlm and a copy of the original field notes to the owner of such claim, then the owner of such claim shall be entitled to have the cost of such survey, not to exceed one hundred dol- lars, counted as work done on the claim. 41. Instead of doing any of the above work mentioned on the claim, the holder may pay the sura of ?500 direct to the Govern- ment; but he must otherwise comply with the foregoing provis- ions, except such as have respect solely to the work required to be done on claims. 42. If no action has been commenced and notice thereof filed with the Recorder, he shall, at the expiration of the time of publica- tion forward to the owner or his agent the documents above re- ferred to. and a certificate of compliance with the foregoing pro- visions, In the form "I" to the Act. 43. But if action has been commenced by one claiming an adverse rig' ^1 any kind and a copy of the writ shall have been filed with the Recorder within twenty days from the commencement of the action, the issuance of the certificate shall abide the result of the act!rn and the direction of the court. The action must be prosecuted "with reasonable diligence to final judgment": a certi fled copy of the Judgment may be filed with the Recorder. 44. The action to assert adverse claim must be commenced In the Supreme Court within sixty days after the publication In the British Columbia Gazette of notice "F," but such time of sixty days may be extended by special order of the Court on cause being shown.

MINING LAWS— LODE CLAIMS. 15 46. If any person shall In any suit or matter claim an aflrene right of any kind to the mineral olfdm comprised In any r:cord, or to any part thereof, or shall claim that any record Is Invalid or has been improperly obtained, or that the holder thereof has not complied with the provisions of the .\ct under which the location and record were made, or has not prior to the obtaining of sucAi record made a good and valid location of such mineral claim according to law, the onus of proof tliereof shall be on the person so claiming an adverse right, or so claim- ing that such record is invalid and has been improperly obtained as aforesaid, and in default of such proof judgment shall be given for the holder of such prior record in so far as such action, suit or mattier relates to any of the matters aforesaid. 46. If. after applying for a certificate of Iniprovenieiits, the holder of the claim shall transfer his interest therein, the trans- feree upon proof of such transfer to the Gold Commissioner, shall be entitled to a certificate of improvements In his own name; and similarly, a transferee after issue of certificate and before Grown grant, may, on proof to the Commissioner of Lands and Works of the sale, have grant issued to him. 47. If an adverse claim affects only a portion of the ground the applicant for certificate may relinquish the portion covered by the adverse claim and obtain a certificate for the undisputed por- tion. 48. After the issuing of and recording of such certificate and while it is in force no work need be done on the claim; and no record of any transfer shall be made till after Crown grant. 49. Once a certificate of improvements Is Issued it cannot be im- peached in any court on any ground except that of fraud. (NOTE: This certificate of improvements is not only unim- peachable as tietwten rival claimants to mineral rights, but ail others, on any ground except fraud. Nelson v. Jerry, 5 B.C.R. :;96.) CROWN GRANTS. 50. On the recording of a certificate of improvements in respect to claims outside the railway belt the holder shall be entitled to a Crown grant without any payment for the land; but if the claim lies within the railway belt he must pay to the Recorder five dollars per acre before obtaining a Crown grant. (NOTE: "I^ands held as mineral claims" within the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway Company's grant means de facto claims. A claimant to the land as land has no status to question the. due performance of conditions by a miner. Nelson v. Jerry. 5 B.C.R. 396.) 51. Application for a Crown grant must be made to the Com- missioner within three months from date of certificate of im- provements, in default of which the certificate shall lapse and become absolutely void; at the time of such application the holder must enclose his certificate, the sum of five dollars, the Re- corder's certificate, form "I," the field notes and plat, and the affidavit, form "G." 52. Liens on claims prior to Crown grants are not invalidated by its issuance. 53. A Crown grant transfers and passes (a) on waste lands of the Grown— the right to all minerals (excepting coal) found in veins, lodes or rock In place, in, upon or under the land mentioned in the grant; (b) on lawfully occupied land— the right to enter on which to prospect minerals (other than coal) has been reserved to the Crown or its licensees— the right to all minerals (other than coal) found in veins, or lodes, or rook in place, in, upon or under the land, but reserving the rights of prior occupants; (c) on lawfully occupied lands— where gold and silver have been reserved— the right to all the gold and sliver found in veins, lodes, or rock in place, in upon or under the land, but reserving the rights of prior occupants. But it conveys (from and after May 8th, 1887) only the right to the use and possession of the surface of the claim including the use of all timber, for the purpose of winning and getting from and out of such claim the minerals contained therein, including all operations connected therewith or with the business of mining. 54.

MINING LAWS— LODE CLAIMS. 17 cupied for other than mining purpooeR, the holder shall be ra- tltled to receive a Crown grant of all the surface rights on pay- ment of $5 per acre and a fee of $f> for such grant. 55. All Crown grants heretofore Issued to the holders of mineral claim records shall be deemed to have been validly Issued so far as relates to the procedure upon the application to obtain the sam«, If In the application therefor the holder observed either the pro- cedure prescribed by the Statutes In force at the time of the rec- ord of such claim, or the procedure prescribed by the Statutes In force at the time of the applications for Crown grants thereof. 66. Where lands are occupied under timber lease, the Crown grant shall reserve the timber. SALES AND TRANSFERS. 57. Mineral claims other than Crown grants, or any Interest therein, must be transferred by Instrument In writing, which need not be under seal, but must be signed by the transferor or his agent authorized in writing, which authority must be recorded before the transfer can be. All documents affecting min- eral claims shall be recorded within the time prescribed for recording claims, but the failure to record shall not invalidate the documents as between the original parties, though as against third parties they shall only take effect from the date of record. (NOTE: It Is desirable to give the number, date, and place of issue of every miner's certificate referred to In an Instrument. In the case of Atkins v. Coy, 5 B.C. Reports 8, It was decided that the law regarding priority of transfers was the same under the Mineral Acts as the Land Registry Acts, and a registered conveyance would have predence over an unregistered convey- ance, though the latter was executed first.) 58. After Crown grant no Instruments are recorded with the Recorder, but must be registered with the Land Registrar and are governed by provisions of the Land Registry Acts, and should be by formal deed, duly acknowledged. MILL SITES. 69. A miner may appropriate from unoccupied and unreserved Crown lands not known to contain mineral, one mill site for each claim. This mill site mast not exceed five acres and must be as nearly as possible In form of a square. (For further particulars see Act.) WATER RIGHTS. Water rights for mining purposes must, since May 8th, 1897, be applied for under the "Water Clauses Consolidation Act, 1897," part II, sees. 10 to 39, to which reference should be made. MINING PARTNERSHIPS. 60. A special mining partnership may be formed which may locate and record in the partnership name a claim for e^ery partner, but this shall not allow a holder of a claim to hold In partner- ship any Interest In any other claim on the same vein or lode. 61. By a majority of votes which may be given by proxy repre- senting the greater Interest, assessment may be levied to reln: Provided, that all records and fees and a list of certlHcates issued with the date and term thereof be forwarded to the nearest Commissioner or Recorder as soon thereafter as practicable, 68. The Commissioner may. In all proper cases, grant written authority to bridge a stream or claim, or to mine under or through any ditch or flume, or to carry water through or over any land, and also may empower auy one engaged In the con- struction of any road or work to cross, divert or otherwise In- terfere with any ditch, water privilege, or mining right. 69. Owners of ditches, flumes or pipes may be ordered to make good any damage caused by breaks or Imperfections. 70. The Commissioner has power to summarily make such orders as will Insure all mining operations being carried on so as not to Interfere with or endanger the public safety, and may order abandoned works to be tilled up or guarded at the cost of the parties who constructed the same. 71. The Commissioner may mark out spaces of ground for de- posits of leavings and deads from tunnels or claims on such terms as he may think Just. 72. Where there Is no Recorder the Commissioner shall act as such, and he may at all times perform duties of Recorder. 73. All claims, records.' certificates, documents, etc., must be recorded In the mining division in which the claim Is situate, except in the case of mining property held as real estate which must be dealt with In the Land Registry Otflce. 74. Recorder's oflBce hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except on holidays. During oflOice hocrs all records and documents shall be open to public Inspection fiee of charge. 75. Owners of claims held as real estate are entitled to the same rights and privileges as those held otherwise. 76. Pending the Issue of letters of administration, or probate of will, the Commissioner may, being governed by the Official Administrators Act, take charge of the property of any deceased miner. In cases where the miner dies Intestate and the value of his personal estate is under .$300, the Commissioner may dispense with administration and proceed to wind up and distribute the estate, passing the accounts before the County Coujt Judge of the district. 77. The County Court has concurrent Jurisdiction, known as the "mining Jurisdiction," with the Supreme Court in all mining dis- putes. Cases may be trsinsferred from County Court to Supreme Court. (It was decided by the Chief Justice in the ease of Richards v. Price, reported In the Victoria Times for March 6, lb97, that In any event a case begun In the County Court would not be transferred to the Supreme Court unless some peculiar question of expediency should arise.) 78. Anyone refusing to obey the lawful order of the Com- missioner or Judge may be summarily convicted before two Justices of the peace, or a stipendiary magistrate or Judge, and fined $250, or imprisoned with or without hard labour for three months. 79. Any Interest In mining claims or property may be seized and sold by the sheriff under an execution against goods and chat- tels. 80.

TAXATION. 82. Tbe owner or occupier of any mineral or placer claim held under Grown grant must pay an annual tax of twcnty-tlve cents per acre, payable on 30th June. This tax forms a lien on tbe claim; but if $200 bave been expended on the claim In labour or Improvements In any year the tax Is remitted for that year. 83. There shall be assessed, levied and collected from every person owning, managing, leasing or working a mine one per cent, on the assessed value of all ore or mineral-bearing sub- stances raised, gotten or gained, to be based on the market price of the ore or mlnerul-bearing substances at the mines, as determined In case of dispute by smelter, reduction, re- finery works, or other satisfactory returns: Provided, that no ore or mineral-bearing substances shall be taxed which are not sold or removed from the mining premises. 84. Tlie owner or manager of every mine and cliilni niiis'^ notify the Assessor of the district when the mine or claim Is In active pro- duction, and must furnish the name and address of the manager or person to whom notices under the Assessment Act (which see) may be addressed; until this Is done It Is unlawful for any one to ship, send, take or carry away (or permit that to be done) from tbe mining premises any ore or mineral-bearing substance. This tax Is a lien not only upon the output upon which It is lev- ied but also upon the mine and premises from which the ore was extracted, and upon nil other ore, etc.. upon the premises. 85. Ore and mineral substances, raised, gotten, or gained from any mine before the 17th of April, 1896, ore free from taxation. 86.

A miner having duly located and recorded a placer claim shall be entitled to hold the same during the existence of his record or re-record of such claim upon complying with all the terms and conditions of the Act. 16. The Interests of a free miner in his placer claim shall, save as Ito placer mines held as real estate, be deemed to be a chattel Interest, equivalent to a lease, for such period as the same may liiive been recorded, renewable at the e?id thereof by re:-f(;onllng nid subject to conditions as to forfeiture, working representa- tion, re-recording and otherwise. 17. Every miner shall have the exclusive right of entry upon |his claim, for the miner-like working thereof, and the con- struction of a residence thereon, and shall be entitled exclusively to all the proceeds realiiied therefrom; Provided that ihe Commis- sioner may, upon application made to him, silow other free mln- lers such rights of entry thereon as may be necessary for the [working of their claims, upon such terms as may to him seem Ireasonablo. 18. The holder of a claim shall have no right to a vein or lode within the limits of his claim, unless he shall have located ind recorded the ground as a mineral claim, and until he shall so locate and record such ground, the same shall be open for location and record. 10. In case of dispute as to title it shall be recognized according priority of location, subject to any question as to the validity )f the record itself, and compliance with the Act. No irregular- ity made prior to the then current date of the record or re-record of Hich claim shall et^'ect the title, and It shall bo assumed that up to date of such record, or re record, the title is perfect: Provided |that it is always open to prove that the ground was improperly )r insufflclently staked, or that the stakes have been Illegally lOved. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. 20. The Commissioner may grant to holder of claim leave of ab- sence for such period and reasons as he may think proper. 21. Every miner, or company of miners, shall be entitled to a leave of absence of one year from his or their claim or set of claims: (a.) Upon proving to the Commissioner that he or they has or have expended on such claim, or on any portion of the set of claims, in cash, labour, or machinery, an amount equal to one thousand dollars on each full interest, without any return of gold or other minerals In reasonable quantities from such ex- penditure: and (b.) Upon the application for such leave being signed by all the holders of the claim or set of claims. 22. Such leave of absence does not relieve the holdei )f such claim or set of claims from carrying out the provisions )f the Act respecting miner's certificates, records and re-record» lor does this section affect the discretionary power of the Com- nissloner w'th respect to granting a leave of absence under other conditions. 28 • • • ^ rl/y-' • • • Royal Electric Co.

Part 11. p. 39, it was eld that the construction by a miner of a cabin fit and convenl- nt for a residence while working on his claim, though not stand- ng on the claim Itself, may be taken as proper and miner-like orking on the claim so as to prevent abandonment and forfeit- re. The Commissioner's discretion as to leave of absence and aylng over Is not open to review by the courts. If a miner re- • urn to his claim after an absence of seventy-two hours and nds It Intact, he Is "in as of his old estate," and may re-com- ence working. The wrongful occupation of a claim by a tres- asser excuses the true owner from the obligation to represent is claim by actual work thereon, provided he Is not guilty of elay in seeking to establish his right.) 28. After the recording of a placer claim, the removal of any post )y the holder thereof, or by any pei*son acting in his behalf, nade for the purpose of changing the limits of his claim, shall let as a fotfelture of the claim.

No transfer of any placer claim, or of any interest therein, hall be enforceable unless the same or some memorandum thereof ihall be in writing, signed by the transferer, or by his agent luthorized In writing, and recorded in the Record of Convey- mces. (NOTE : In Lode Claims the Act requires the authority of such igent to be recorded before the record of the transfer. Appar- (utly in placer claims this is not necessary.) 31. The transfer of any real estate acquired under the provis- ons of the "Gold Mining Amendment Act, 1873," shall be in rltlng, signed by the transferer or lils agent authorized in wrlt- g, and attested by a subscribing wit-ness.

(On and after June 1st, 1897, the "Wator Clauses Consollda- Itlon Act, 1897," came Into force, which Statute regulates all [questions relatiner to water: see Part II. sees. 10 to 39, to which reference should be made.) 36. A miner is entitled to the use of so much of the water natur- ally flowing through or past his placer claim, and not already lawfully appropriated, as shall, in the opinion of the Commis- sioner, be necessary for the due worlsing thereof. (NOTE: In the "Jenny Lind" case, 1 B.C. Reps., part 11, p. 185, it was held that a company could not turn nearly all the water of a creek from Its bed at a point some distance above their claim and convey it by a ditch to their ground, thereby depriving others of the supply, for such intercepted water could not be deemed to be "water naturally flowina: throu; or past their claim." A grant of the water should have been applied for In the usual way.) 37. The Commissioner may, in his discretion, and on terms grant a water right in any unappropriated water, for any placer min- ing purpose, for any term not exceeding ten years: no miner shall be charged any money rental for any such water used by him for mining purposes on his own claim. Before application the miner shall— 38. (1.) Post a notice in writing on a legal post upon some con- , -Do/^TT-TTi 1 spicuous part of the ground on which such water Is intended ( Jt>KUKJi(Kf 1 to be used, and a copy of such notice on the office of the Re- corder for at least twenty days, which notice shall contain the 3* followlni? particulars:— Eastern Canad^ a (a.) Name of each applicant: (b.) Number of each applicant's certificate: (c.) The name, or if \mnamed, a sufficient description of the stream, lake, or other source of water: (d.) Point of diversion or intended ditch-head: (e.) Number of Inches: (f.) Purpose for which required: (g.) Date of notice. (2.) If more than three hundred inches are applied for, deposit Is required, of twenty-five dollars, to be refunded if the grant Is inot made. 39. Such grants must be recorded within the time limited for recording claims, and shall during each year of the continuance c of the grant, and whilst it shall be in operation, be re-recorded as in the case of claims. No grant shall take effect until re- corded. Grants speak from their own date, not from date of record. 40. No miner shall be entitled to a grant of the water of any stream for the purpose of selling the water to claim-holders on any part of such st' oam. The Commissioner may. however, grant such privileges as he may deem Just, when such water Is intended to work bench or hill claims fronting on any such stream: provided, that the rights of free miners then using the water be protected. 41. The owner of any water right may distribute the water to such miners and on such terms as he may deem advisable, within the limits mentioned in his grant: Provided, always, that such owner shall be bound to supply water to all miners. In a fair proportion, and shall not demand more from one than an- other, except where the difficulty of supply is enhanced. 42.

On any dispute between applicants before grant Is made, pri- ority of notice shall constitute priority of right. Every grant is subject to tiie rights of such miners as shall, at Its date, be working on the stream above or below the ditch head, and of any other persons lawfully using such water for any purpose whatsoev'er. 44. A grant of a water right is appurtenant to the claim, and whenever the claim Is worked out, abandoned or forfeited, or whenever the occasion for the use of the water upon tlie claim or mine shall have permanently ceased, the grant shall be deter- mined. 45. Within thirty days after the grant Is made, the grantee must commence the excavation or construction of the works In which he intends to divert and convey the water, and shall prosecute the work diligently and uninterruptedly to completion, unless In- terrupted by the severity of the weather: Provided, always, that the Commissioner may, in his discretion, allow Huch work to cease for any time, upon cause being shown. Upon the non- fullilment of any of the conditions of this section, the grant shall be forfeited. 46. The grantee may obtain permission from the Commissioner to change the place of diversion, on giving such notices and complying with such terms as the Commissioner may require. 47. Every grantee shall take all reasonable means for utilizing the water granted to him; and if h3 wilfully waste any water, or take a quantity of water In excess of liis requirements, the Commissioner may declare his grant to be forfeited. 48. Any person desiring to bridge any stream, claim or other place, for any purpose, or to mine under or through any ditch or flume, or to carry water through or over any land already occupied, may do so with the written sanction of the Commis- sioner. In all such cases the right of the party first in posses- sion, whether of the mine or of the water right, is to prevail, so as to entitle him to compensation if the same be just. 49. Whenever it shall be intended, in forming or upholding any ditch to enter upon and occupy any part of a claim, or mine held as real estate, or other land, or to dig or loosen any earth or rock within twenty feet of any ditch thereon, three days' notice in writing of such Intention shall be given to the owner of such ditch, before entering or approaching within twenty feet thereof. 50. Any person heretofore or hereafter engaged in the construc- tion of any road or work may, with the sanction of the Com- missioner, cross, divert, or otherwise interfi-re with any ditch, water right, or other mining rights whatsoever, for such period as the Commissioner shall direct. 51. The owner of any ditch, flume, or pipe, shall, at his own ex- pense, construct, secure, and maintain all culverts necessary for the passage of waste and superfluous water flowing through or over any such ditch, flume, or pipe. 52. The owner of any ditch, flume, or pipe shall construct and secure the same in a proper and substantial manner, and main- tain the same in good repair to the satisfaction of the Com- sioner, and so that no danage shall occur to any road or work ia its vicinity from any part of the works of such ditch, flume, or pipe; and such owner shall be liable and shall make good, in such manner as the Commissioner shall determine, all damage which may be occasioned by or through any parts of such works break- ing or being imperfect. 53. When the term of any grant has expired, the grantee may. at the discretion of the Commissioner, obtain a renewal of the same for a reasonable term, not to exceed ten years, provided the necessity for the use of said water for the purpose for which It was originally granted continues to exist. 54.
