YUKON MINING LAWS.
Canada VIII Make Concessions in
the KIondike Region.

OTTAWA (Ont.), Dec. 17.-Clifford
Siffoon's Yukon mining regulations are
undergoing revision at the hands of a
subcommittee of the Council composed
OF the Minister of the Interior, Sir
Louis Davies, and David Miles
1t is announced that the members of
the subcommittee propose to amend
the regulations applicable to the royal
" by eXempting the sum necessary for
developing a claim for year, and it
is also suggested that, instead of re-
serving alternate claims for the Gov
ernment in trust for the people of Can
ada, their claims should be grouped in
blocks of ten, so as to facilitate the
working of claims staked out by in
dividuals.
What the subcommittee was doubt
less bearing in mind is that the dig
gings lie in comparative proximity to
the international boundary line, to
which access is easy by water and be-
yond which Canada's Jurisdiction
ceases, and that. except for the right
to navigate the Stickeen and Yukon
Rivers, Canada is dependent upon the
good will of the United States for the
smallest commercial privilege at all
points Of trans-shipment on the exist
ing routes to the Yukon-namely. at
Fort Wrangel, Skaguay, Dyea and ST.
Michael-these being in territory
claimed and administered by the
United States. Hence the feeling here
is that the Cabinet should take a
broad-n1inded view of the situation
and adopt regulations of a liberal char
acter, which Will result in the rapid
development of the country.
