NEW LAW TO
 AID PROTECTORS

The so called Prospectors Aid bill is one of the few acts of the last Legislature bene, ficial to the mining industry. Copies of the new law receiv- ed on the last weekly mail dis close that it purposes to help eligible prospectors by provid- ing means of transportation for themselves and their out fits to and from localities where prospecting for valu- able minerals may be stimu- lated. As first step in this di- rection the measure creates the office of Commissioners of Transportation, and names the Territorial Mine Inspector to fill the duties of that office. Under the provisions of the act it is the duty of the Com missioner to ascertain where prospecting for minerals may be stimulated by transporting bona fide prospectors and their supplies and equipment by dogs, horses, boats or other means to their respective fields of operation. He shall also assist prospectors in SC. curing as cheap transportat- ion as possible for prospect ors and their supplies on ex- isting transportation lines and may out of funds at his dis posal pay for such transport ation when necessary. It is provided, however, that no more than $50 may be ex- pended for any one prospect or during a calendar year. The Commissioner is also given authority to appoint agents to carry out the provisions of the Act and also to receive donat- ions, bequests and legacies to be expended under the act. Funds so received are to be kept separate and are to be expended in conformity with the express will of the donat- or, or testator. To be eligible for the aid provided, prospect DTS must be citizens of the United States and residents of the Territory for one year be- fore applying for transportat- ion.
 In return for the assistance given, prospectors are requir- ed to file with the Commission CT within one year a written report of the results of theil operations containing de- scription of the contour, geo. logical formation of the coun~ try where operations are car, ried on, the nature of the min- eralization, and such addition al data as may be of aid to other prospectors.

1t will mean that West Atlantic

1t will also mean that Pleasant

No Referendum.
The process of annexation, or the
absorption of adjoining territory by

chairman of the committee, every

will draw up the proper legal doc

quit-claim deeds to four feet nine
