A mineral claim should be, as nearly as possil)le, rectangular Inform; all angles should be right angles, except when a boundary line of a previously surveyed claim is adopted as common to both, but the lines need not necessarily be meridional; It must not exceed 1,500 feet long by 1..500 wide, and must be marked by two legal posts, numbered 1 and 2. placed as nearly as possible on the line of the ledge or vein, and not more than 1.500 feet apart. In defining size the claim is measured horizontally, irrespective of the inequalities of the surface of the ground. (NOTE: Hon. Mr. Justice McCrelght held in the "Red Oak" case that the location was invalidated by the location line being run at right angles to the courMO of the vein instead of along it.

VANCOUVER, II )ia. SYNOPSIS OF B.C. MINING LAWS-PLACER CLAIMS. 37 LAY-OVERS 23. The Commissioner may lay-over any claim for such period and reasons as he may think proper. 24. No claim located and recorded within fourteen days before or at any time during the close season, shall be deemed to be laid over, unless so much work shall have been bona flde done thereon by the holder thereof as shall, in the opinion of the Commissioner, fairly entitle him to have such cinim laid over. 25. Where the supply of water is insufficient to enable claims requiring water to be worked, such claims shall be laid over dnrlng such insufficiency, but no longer, except by leave of the Oommissioner; but a notice of such insufficiency of water must be posted in the office of the Recorder within three days from the cessation of work. ABANDONMENT AND FORFEITURE. 26. All forfeitures shall be absolute. 27. Every claim shall bo represented and bona flde worked by the bolder thereof, or by some person on his behalf, continuously, as nearly as practicable, during working hours, and shall be deemed to be abandoned and absolutely forfeited when the same shall have remained fii worked on working days by the holder thereof, or some person on his behalf, lor the period of seventy-two hours, except (iuriug the close season, some lay-over, or leav? of absence, or during sickness, or for some other reasonable cause which shall be sliown to the satisfaction of the Commissioner. (NOTE:. In Woodbury v. Hudnut, 1 B.C. Part ii, p. 80. it was held that the construction by a miner of a cabin fit and conveni- ent for a residence wliile working on his claim, though not stand- ing on the claim itself, may be taken as proper and miner-like working on the claim so as io prevent abandonment and forfeit- are. The Commissioner's discretion as to leave of absence and laying over is not open to review by the courts. If a miner re- turn to his claim after an absence of seventy-two hours and finds it intact, he is "in as of his old estate," and may re-com- mence working. The wrongful occupation of a claim by a tres- passer excuses the true owner from the obligation to represent nis claim by actual work thereon, provided he Is not guilty of delay In seeking to establish his right.) 28. After the recording of a pl.ncer claim, the removal of any post by the holder thereof, or by any person acting in his behalf, made for the purpose of changing the limits of his claim, shall act as a forfeiture of the claim. SALES AND TRANSFERS. 20. Every bill of sale, conveyance, or mortgage of a placer claim, or of any fraction thereof, shall be recorded within the time prescribed for recording claims. 80. No transfer of ariy placer claim, or of any interest therein, shall be enforceable unless the same or some memorandum thereof shall be In writing, signed by the transferer, or by his agent authorized In writing, and recorded in the Record of Convey- ances. (NOTE : In Lode Claims the Act requires the authority of such agent to be recorded before the record of the transfer. Appar- ently In placer claims tliis is not necessary.) 81. The transfer of any real estate acquired under the provls- t#is of the "Gold Mining Amendment Act, 1873." shall be la writing, slgnad by the traiisferer or his agent autliorlzed in writ- ing, and attested by a subscribing witness.

No grant shall take effect until re- corded, r.rants 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 wati r to claim-holders on any part of such stream. The Commissioner may. however. frrant such privileges as he may deem just, when such water Is ntended 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 Huch miners and on such terms as he mav deem advisable within the limits mentioned in his grant: Provided, alwava, that •uch owner shall be bound to supply wnt(>r to all miners, In a fair proportion, and shall not demand more from one than ,^urpose whatsoever. 44. A grant of a water right Is appurtenant to the claim, and ivhenever the claim Is worked out, abandoned or forfeited, or Whenever the occasion for the use of the water upon the claim 0r mine shall ho"" 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 cpnvey the water, and siiall 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 such work to cease for any time, upon cause being shown. Upon the non- fulfilment of any of the conditions of this section, the grant shall be forfeited. 46. The grantee may obtain permission from the Commissioner to ch.'nge the piace of diversion, on giving such notices and 'Complying with such terms as the Comniissli^ner may require. 47. Every grantee shall take all reasonable means for utilizing the water granted to him; and If he wilfully waste any water, or take a quantity of water in excess of Ins reciuirements, 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 Intension sliall bo 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 interfere with any ditch water right, or other mining rights whatsoever, for such period as the Commissioner shall direct. 51. The owner pf any .aitch, flume, or pipe, shall, at his own ex- pense, construct, secure, and maintain all culverts necess.irv for the passage of waste and superfluous water flowing thrcuch or OTer any such ditch, flume, or pipe. 52.

Another difference l.s that under tliis Act a limited liability part- ner.'-'hip cannot be formed unless it is "free fioiu all debt in res- pect of the partnership ])roperty." Also, under this Act thou'jh a partner may sell his interest he "shall be liable for the indebt- edness on the said interest in proportion to his ii^: -rest in the partnership."

MEASUREMENT OF WATER. is operation is p". f Tned in several ways, depending on volume of water j' he character of the stream, namely: .V iiieans of flitats to oetermine the velocity of a stream of nun section: by means of n notch or weir of either rect- i;h' 76 WORKSHOP RECIPES. angular or triangular form; by means of issues of a certain area under a siven head or by miner's inches; and by direct measurement in vessels of Itnown capacity. The latter is always preferable when the volume of water is not more than twenty miner's inches. Measurement by issues or miner's inches is suitable for vohimes up to two luuuired inches; for larger amounts weir measurement is required. The dentil of water on the weir is measured from the level of the still water above the weir. When the stream i.s so large that it cannot be measured iiy the use of the weir, the auantity may be approximately de- termined by multiplying the cross-section in squa' -> feet by the average velocity in feet per minute. Measure the depth in feet at various equidistant points across the stream; add these together and divide 'oy the nuMi- ber of measurements talidi for the average dejiih. Multiply the average depth in feet by the width in feet for the area.

BELT GEARING. The resistance of belts to slipping Is independont of their tioadth, consequently there Is no advantage derived In increasing tlii.s dimension beyond that which Is necessary to enable the belt to Ti sist tlie strain it is subject to. Tlie ratio of friction to pressure for bolts over wood drums Is: For jiather belts, when worn, .47; when new, .5; and, when over II turned cast-iron pulley, .24 and .27. A leather belt will safely and continuously resist a strain of 8"" pounds per square Inch of section, and a section of .2 of a 78 WOFtKSHOP HKCIPES Long a velocity of 1.000 l>er square inch will transmit the equivalent of a horse-power at a velocity of l.tKK) feet per minute over a wooden drum, and .4 of a square inch over a turned cist-irnn pulley. In hifrh-spced beltinj? the tension or the breadth of the bolt should be increased in order to prevent belt from slipping, belts are more effective than short ones. A single belt one inch wide, ti'avelling at feet per minute, transmits one h()rse-i)ower. A double belt one inch wide, travellini? 700 feet per minute transmits one horse-power. When a double belt Is lure: and runs over large pulleys, it may be calculated to do one horse-power of work at a speed of 500 feet Iter minute. The upiier side of the pulley should always carry the slack belt. To throw a belt on to its pulleys, when it has been laid off, It shouhl always be laid on to the [)ulley that is not in motion tirst, and then be thrown over the edge of the moving pulley on to its face. It has been ascertained by a trial that a licit will transmit about 30 per cent, more power, with a given tension, wlien the gniin (smooth side of the leather) is in contact with the pulley than v.lieu the fl(>sh side is turned inward. The l^.Tiher is also less liable to crack, as the structure on the tlesti side is less denso, and till' fibres more extensible. The adhc^sion of belts is^ great*'r on pnlished than on rough pulleys, and is about fiO jier cent, greater on a leather jiulley than on a polished iron pulley. Lartre pulleys and drums may be covered with narrow strips of leather or with longer strips wound spirally. Pulley covers are manu- factured in strii)s of the desired width, and reduced to uniform Thickness l>,v machinery. I'.elts should be kept soft and pliable by applying tallow occashnially and neat's foot or liver oil, with a little resin when they l)ccome hard .-md dri(Ml. CAT.Cl'LATING SPEED OF PT'I.LEYS. Tn all cases the diameter of the driver multiplied by the numlter of revolutions i>er minute will Ije eciiial to the product (if the diameter of the driven and its speed in revolutions per ininiue. From this are dediued tne following' rules: 1. Having the diameter and sT^eod of the driver and diametir of driven, to tind tlie speed of the driven: Multiply the diam'.- ' 1 r f,l the driver in inches l)y its speed and divide by tlie di- ameter of the driven in inches. 2. Having the diameter and sliced of the driver and speed of the driven, to find thf diameter of tlie driven: Multiply the diameter of tlie >1river in inclies by its speed and divide by tile speed of tlie driven. o. Having the speed of the driver, the diameter and spee<". of the driven, to tind the diameter of the driver in inches: Mul- tiply tile diameter of the driven in inches by its speed and divide Ijy the syeed of the driver. WIRE ROPE TRANSMISSION. "The use of round endless wire ropes, made especially for the fiurpose, running in grooved wheels or sheaves instead of an ordinary belt running on a fiat-faced pullev, constitutes the Tn'.nsmission of Power by Wire Rones." Wire rope transmission come.s into use at the point where a belt or line of shafting becomes too long to be used profit- ably, and in point of ecrmomy it is much cheaper than its equivalent in either shafting- or belting. Tlie distance which wire ' '^e transmission can be applied ranges from 50 to 6ii feet no to miles. Power can by this method be transmitted in any desired direction, up or down hill, across rivers, around buildings or obstructions of any kind, and thus make available many sources of power which are now useless.

Now, in such localities, rope transmission furnishes a comi)lete remedy. The power can be conveyed by this medium up stream or down, upon as- it'iit or down hill as well, or in many eases across the stream. In the latter ease, where the stream is too wide to span in one .si^ciion, an artificial foundation for an intermediate station can be put in, and the transmission made in two or more sec- tiolli!. Ill short, wire rone transmission can be applied with great dams, stone quarries and all sorts of contractors' grading, excavating or building operations. A current wheel may be put in a swift place in the stream, and the power conveyed to a pimip or other machinery at a distance.

The main feature, however, in wire rope transmission is disiance. and the farther off the better the arrangement will work. '"When the distance materially exceeds '.i'n^ or 400 feet, a rope transmission should he divided into two or more equal parts. by means of one or more intermediate stations." At each station we must mount a double sheave or wheel on a support of gt)od. substantial framework or masonry. INCv.lNED PLANE.

One cord air-dried hickory or hard maple, weighs about 4,500 lbs., and is eciujil to about 2.000 lbs. coal. One cord air-dried white oak, weighs about 3,S.50 ttis., and is to about 1,71.5 His. coal. cord air-dried beech, red oak and black oak, weighs 3,2.50 Itjs., and is equal to about 1.450 Ihs. coal, cord air-dried poplar (whitewood), chestnut and elm, Weighs about 2.350 lbs., and is equal to about 1,0.50 ttis. coal. One cord air-dried average pine, weighs about 2,000 Its., and is equal to about 925 ths. coal. I'Yom the above it is safe to assume that t^\ n>s. of dry wood is equal to 1 Ih. average quality of soft coal, and that fcuual ' >ne about < »ne 80 \V(3RKSII0P RECIPES. the full value of the same weight of different woods is ver;; nearly the same— th;it is, a pound of hickory is worth no more for fuel than a pound of pine, assuming both to be dry. It . Important that the wood be dry as each 10 per cent, of water or moisture in wood will detract about 12 per cent, from its value as fuel.
