 YUKON MINING ACT
Member of Yukon Parliament Pro. poses to Make Yukon Laws

In letter to C. P Mackenzie of Yukon Territory, with headQuaT. ters at Dawson, Dr. Alfred Thompson, Yukon's member of the Yukon Parlia- ment, indicates the changes he proposes to endeavor to secure in the Yukon mining act The letter was dated Ottawa, March 3, and is as follows:
 eff dredging industry in Yukon is to be further developed, the low grade gravels of Stewart, Seiwyn, Sixtymile, Indian, Fortymile and their tributaries and valleys must be work ed. To prospect these, drills are nee essary. It has been suggested to encourage this kind of prospecting that a prospector's license be issued upon somewhat the following lines
 "O License to prospect on any creek or river where placer claims are not located
 "(2) Location to be marked as prescribed in section 25, Placer Act.
 "(3) License to cover not more than five miles in length of creek valley or five miles of one side of river valley
 "(4) If creek or river less than 15 miles long, license to cover not more than one third of entire length
 "(5) Not more than one license for any creek or river, however long. and in case license terminates for any reason, no license can be given until at least one year from date of ter imitation.
 "(6) While license in force can not have application for another license
 "7) Term of license one year sub iect to renewal for one year if con ditions complied with.
 "(S) Licensee to spend $2,000 per mile of fraction of mile included in license.
 "(9) Before termination of license licensee may acquire by stalking under Placer Act, the whole or any part oi area covered by license.
 Please submit to public press and Yukon Development League for cri- tcism and suggestions.'

ALASKANS GET
 $4OO,OO0 FOR THEIR
 COPPER PROPERTY
Skagway and Haines People Sell Rainy Hollow Mines To East
 erners For Fortune

After holding their claims known as the Rainy Hollow group for ap- proximately twenty two years, Messrs Burnham. Kennedy and Conway have finally have consummated sale which will net them the sum of s4OO 900, says the Skagway Alaskan.
 Martin Conway, one of the owners, in speaking of the sale to repre- sentative of this paper, said that he is in receipt of telegram from Dick Kennedy in which the latter says that the second installment of the purchase price has been paid.
 The property in question embraces thirteen and one half copper loca tions and include the Maid of Erin, Elice. Victoria and Spokane claims on all of which considerable de- velopment work has been done and all have shown a remarkable value for the amount of work done.
 The purchasers are New York peo- pie and by the payment of the second installment the substantial payment of $10,00O has been paid over, and this fact indicates that a bonif.dc sale has been made.
 The sale was negotiated by MT, Wiley, of White River fame.
 From recent communications re ceived from his associates, MT. Con- way says that it is the intention of the new owners to begin operatl1n on a large scale just as soon as the weather and transportation condi- tions will permit.
 For a dozen or more years past this property has almost yearly been tied up by working bonds of options of sale and development has been hampered and retarded by lack of transportation facilities.
 Several times in the past it has looked as if the property would be taken over by prominent men in the copper world, but the distance from tide water and lack of transporta- tion have been stumbling blocks, but now with the price of copper at the high mark and with the improve ment in autotruck transportation, the ore can be moved to tidewater and still have a handsome profit for the operators.
 Substantial shipments of Rainy Hollow ore have been made from time to time, the ore being hauled out in wagons but even with this prim tive mode of transportation, the shipments have showed a net profit.
 Hanes is to be congratulated on the sale of this property, as it will un- doubtedly be the cause of the copper men of the country looking further into the Rainy Hollow district and this group of elaine is but a portion of the rich mineral ground adjacent to them. It will mean that the open ing up of the first mentioned group of claims will bring about a resump tion of activities at Haines.
