Pm The new regulations provide that every perâ€" son and organization engaged in mining activity on Dominion lands must hold a miner‘s certifiâ€" cate. Such a certificate entitles the holder to stake and record three claims for himself and three claims for each two otherglicensees or nine claims in all (a total of about 450 acres) in each mining division. In the Northwest Terâ€" ritories double this numberâ€"that is to say eighteen claimsâ€"may be staked and recorded. All claims must be marked by four legal posts and as soon after as reasonably possible, metal tags supplied by the department of the interior T wo The Federal Department of the Interior reâ€" céntly enacted new regulations to foster the interests of the mining industry and the public, and mining rules have been revised with this end in view. They were drafted by the Minâ€" ister of the Interior, Hon. Charles Stewart, and have been passed by orderâ€"inâ€"council. ‘They attest the vigilant interest exercised in this reâ€" spect by government supervision, and bring the new regulations abreast of present conditions. This is but another illustration of the fact that the threatened extinction of some importâ€" ant commodity leads to the discovery of a new source of supply. After all, little is known of the possibilities and potential usefulness of the common things about us until some vital cirâ€" cumstance arises which discloses their value. This has been the case with reference to the world‘s rubber supply and the prefiiction of a famine in that indispensable product. Among those who applied themselves to the task . was the world famous inventor, Thomas Edison, who, with characteristic industry, retired to his laboratory in Florida and after experimenting with plants returned to inform the world that there are 1,400 plants in the United States of America that will yield rubber, and among the most productive of these is also one of the most common and easily grown, the golden rod that flourishes by every wayside. A new and substantial industry which, it is stated, will furnish employment to over two score of people during the canning season, has just been launched by a veteran in the Canning industry, Mr. Edward Todd in association with his son and other interested citizens of the town. As it will furnish another market for the products of the fruit and vegetable growers of the district, it will be welcomed by those engaged in fruit growing throughout the surâ€" rounding community, large gcreages of beans and tomatoes already having been contracted for, while later on contracts for fruits will also be entered into. From time to time it has been found that when a shortage threatens in connection with a commodity in general use, inventors and scientists, by applying themselves to the task, almost invariably discover a new source from which to secure it. & The long experience of Mr. Todd, in the Canâ€" ning industry and the excellent quality of the vegetables and fruits available, is assurance that the product turned out will measure up to a high standard and there is every reason to believe that the new enterprise will be attended with success. The fact that the industry will utilize the products of this fine fruit district will serve to make it all the more welcome. The town of Grimsby some time ago adopted this progressive policy and it has been meeting with general favor, evidenced by the fact that many owners of plots have taken them on the perpetual care plan. The cemetery committee reports that another $500 has been paid in since the first of the year, bringing the amount of the fund for perpetual care to the substantial sum of $3,000. In order to ensure that cemeteries are well kept and make a presentable appearance, an increasing number of communities are adoptâ€" ing the perpetual care plan, under which cemeâ€" tery plots are given constant attention. f As one travels through the province one comes upon cemeteries which indicate that they are not receiving the care they should, in strong contrast to others which give evidence of havâ€" ‘ Established 1885 C.

Its route traverses an area highly mineralized, while the Department of the Interior points out that potential agricultural land may be found in Manitoba as far north as the fiftyâ€"seventh parallel, and even beyond. ‘This is seven deâ€" grees farther north than is Churchill, while along a portion of the route covered are areas which can be turned into agricultural use. The Hudson Bay Railway, therefore, has two chances at least to pay its way through service, although its possibilities as a grain carrier, if they materialize, will greatly outweigh the other." "The Hudson Bay Railway is being built to meet the demand of the Prairie Provinces. Their faith in its potentialities has not wavered since it was first proposed, but to the rest of the country the large expenditure involved has ‘yet to be justified. ‘There is no doubt that its justification will be welcomed, for if additional prosperity is thereby brought to the West, the entire country will be better off. Its success would give a new impetus to settlement, both agricultural and industrial, andâ€"as a shortenâ€" ing of the route between Europe and the Orient would add importance to a territory awaiting opening up. s ‘Commenting further on the undertaking, this publication says: _ The completion, the other day, of the Hudâ€" son Ray road into Fort Churchill as The Globe emphasizes, marks an imposing milestone in a venture which, it is hoped, will measure up to the expectations of its promoters. If it does it will change the route of shipping valued at tens of millions of dollars annually, save a forâ€" tune each year for Western agriculturists, afâ€" fect the business of the United States as well as the Canadian railways, and for several months in the year cut more than 1,000 miles off the distance between Europe and the Pacific. "We do not know just what the government will do in the matter, but we would suggest that as already there is no hunting allowed within one mile of Jack‘s place, it would be a good\ thing to pension Jack, and take over the. farm and make it a national sanctuary or a provincial one, and place it in charge of Jack and his descendants so long as they desire to take care of it. And, more than that, we would: Tike Jack to have the privilege of naming other places throughout th¢ province which shall be treated similarly. (Jack is a citizen of whom Canada and Ontario have the best reason to be proud, and we say so now while he is alive ; and his best monument would be the preservation of the present sanctuary and similar ones throughout the province. And we are well able to do it. It should be a matter of rivalry beâ€" tween the province and the Dominion to see which should have the honor of taking this most laudable action." The request of Jack Miner is assuredly worthy of early consideration by the governâ€" ment, and many will agree with the sentiments expressed by a writer in a current issue of the New Outlook, when he says : \ Before a lease can be issued to a licensee, two hundred days work must be done on the claim during a period of five years or less. Provision is also made so that if desirable, improvement work may be. started as soon as the legal posts are in place. At least forty days‘ work must be done in each year. When two hundred days‘ work has been performed, the claim surveyed, discovery established, certain other requireâ€" ments complied with and accepted, the recorded owner will be entitled to obtain a certificate for improvements and upon payment within three months of the rental and fee, he will be entitled to a lease for a period of twentyâ€"one years, without further payment of rental. Renewal for an additional period of like duration is subâ€" ject to rental. That widely known lover of bird life, Jack Miner, who has exemplified his love of his feathered friends by supporting a bird sancâ€" tuary at his home near Kingsville for many years, finds that he requires assistance in the task as he has not sufficient funds to enable him to go on perpetually feeding the growing number of birds that are attracted to his bird sanctuary. He has therefore asked the Doâ€" minion government to grant him $5,000 a year for the express purpose of caring for the birds that find their way to Kingsville for food durâ€" ing the spring migrations. He himself has spent thousands of dollars each year in feedâ€" ing and caring for his feathered friends, but through lack of funds, is unable to longer do so without aid. > The new regulations governing the collection of royalty require that payment be made on the profits of the mine in excess of $10,000 during any calendar year. ‘This royalty is fixed at three per cent. of the annual profits over $10,000 and up to $1,000,000; five per cent. of the excess over $1,000,000 and up to $5,000,000. must be attached to the posts COMPLETE HUDSON BAY ROAD PROTECTING BIRD LIFE Main Street Fifty years ago, a quietâ€"going soul, James Gallagher, came to Peterborough County.

Perry resigned as acâ€" countant in the department early this year. * The shortage was discovered, acâ€" cording to Robbins, by Eugene T. Creagh, city auditor.
