General Eagan's testimony before the

of an officer of signal ability wasting mis-

placer mining act be suspended whenever
1t shall appear that the United States has
extended 10 Canadians the same rights and
privileges in regard 10 mining in the states

gems OF that country. This is something
the United States cannot DO, however well
inclined its government and congress may
be. II has free hand in the territories,
and with respect 70 these ii has already
provided that Canadians shall enjoy the
same mining privileges as are accorded its
own citizens But II has no power to leg

Of the restrictions which the legislature OF

come within the exclusive jurisdiction Of
