ydes for the amendment of the placer
mining act, providing that no one who
is not "A British subject shall take out
a free miners license, and that no

unless incorporated or registered under

not retrospective. Licenses take out
previously may be renewed, but under
renewed license no one is entitled
to take up new claims. Section 8,
which is the most faf-reaching. pro-
vides that no free miner after the pas
sage of this act shall hold any claim
under the British Colum bia placer
mining act or an interest therein as
trustee or otherwise for any person
who is not a British subject, or for
any corporation not authorized to take
out a free miners certificate. A

not authorized to do so by this section
shall be null and void. This section
shall not affect free miners licenses

this section, and such licenses may be
renewed from time to time. The only
necessities for a person to become
naturalized are that the applicant is a
