A gratifying result OF the general inter-
est IN mining Is the more exact observ-
ance Of the mineral law. evidenced by the
prompt and honest performance Of assess
ment work and the greater care shown In
stalking claims. At the same time close
scrutiny of the law directs attention to
many particulars In which 1t might be I'm
proved. The defects are brought into
stronger relief by the contrast between
the laws Of British Columbia and Of this
country.
To begin with. there Is no reason Why
the business OF prospecting should not be
regulated In such a manner as to prevent
abuses. ana at the same time produce a
revenue to be expended for the benefit of
thu mining districts. British Columbia re-
aures . man to procure license to pros
pect and exercise certain other privileges

pays at annual fee OF S. The right to go

gross violations of the mining law. or OF
the general law OF tho land A fee OF S

means Of any man. or his gruh-staKer.
but would produce a considerable revenue.
II IS estimated that fully 20 GO men win
be engaged in prospecting In this state
during the present year. a number which
would mean fand Of soc. ooo IN fees. This
fund should be expended purely for tns
benefit OF the mining community. The
first draft upon IL should be Tor the en-
fosccmen. OF the mining laws. which are
now very lax. The bulk OF the fund
should. however. be expended In cutting
roads and trails into the mining districts.
