You can find references to it in many of the earliest books on imining." Plans are under way to secure certain amendments to the Mining Act, and the Minister of Mines for Ontario, has been giving very careful consideration to a number of proposed changes. There is a general idea that the act could be improved in some ways and that the prospectaor‘s . interests in. the matter should have special consideration. Sevâ€" eral prospectors have ideas as to ways in which the interests of prospecting work could be advanced by changes in the mining act and the regulations in regard to prospecting and mining. Beâ€" cause of all this it is intended to hold a meeting at an early date for discusâ€" sions and suggestions in the matter. There is a common belief on the part of the public that the prospector is not thinks sh:uld b* done from Cochrane to Moosonce.

In this connection it is argued tl@t the prospector should make his side of the case known, and to do this in the best way, it needs an enthuâ€" slastic "getâ€"together" of prospectors with a general discussion of the proâ€" blems at issue. Hence the idea of callâ€" ing a general meeting here of genuine prospectors. Watch for announcement of particulars.

Sherritt Gordon Prospecting Work has Decreased Much (From Globe and Mail) We have many times made the stateâ€" ment that prospecting in Ontario, in so far as indepsndents go, is at a very low ebb and that the same condition prevails this year cloar across the Dominion. To check w‘his statement we have apâ€" plied to the Mining Department al @uren‘s Park and find that locations made during the first nine months of the year are estimated at around 6,500, although any new rush may maverially increase the figure during the balance of the year. Comparsd with that figure, we find Iccations made in 1937 were 15,292; in 1938 reached a high mark of 17.820; in 1935 were down to 9,460; in 1934 werft ncear the high mark at 16,888; and in 1933 were down to 8.077. In other words, the tccal for this year gives promise of being far below any in the past six years and 60 per cent. below that of lass year, proving our statement to be correct. Mranwhile much wailing is heard about the condition of the local market. In that connection, it is well to rememâ€" ber that Toronto has enjoyed a wider and longerâ€"sustained mining market than any centre in the hiwcory of this continent, and we do not exclude San FPrancisco of the carly days. We are not going to inject our own agpinion of the reasons for the decline, merely leaving the fact with youâ€"#for your own analysis. We are, however, in this way poinmting out co the auâ€" thorities that the situation merits their earnest attention NOW. We cannc. beliecve all the favourable ground has been combed over in this vast and favoured Province and we supâ€" pose most people will agree with us. Very well, then, let us find out what‘s the matter and do anything necessary It is axiomatic, however, thas marâ€" kets cannot go on indefinitely without new camps, new curikes and new public enthusiasm based upon something tangible. Mines once in production lose glamour for the public. Neither, we submit, can we expect to be presented with new camps and new strikes unâ€" less the prospecting spirit is fostered. It all boils down to this: Have all, or most of the likely areas in this proâ€" vince been prospectled, or have we done something, or many things, to kill the spirit that alone will send men out into the bush in search of new mines? Ii we have done anything to banish from the soul of the oldâ€" time prospcc;tor, don‘t you {think it is about ~time we faced the situation squarely and took steps to rectify a situation chat must inevitably lead to permanent mining dullness, if allowed to continue?
