Experience tells us that a@bout one out of every twenty rumors is anything like correct. ‘"*It is hard to imagine how some of the rumors get cireulated at all. Some of the yarns are so ridiculously impossible that ‘even the dumbest market trader would laugh them down.

Wherever possible advantage is taken of the means provided by the trains and steamboats of the regular transâ€" portation compamies; but where these fail and roads or trails are available, they use motor ears or horseâ€"drawn vehicles. . Farther back from settleâ€" ment, in the wild undeveloped parts, the surveyors are thrown entirely on their own resources and forceed to traâ€" vle by motor boat or canoe, by pack train or by dog train, depending on the season and the type of country in which they are working. In some manâ€"packing is resorted to in order to reach summuts otherwise inâ€" accessible. In contrast to these priâ€" mitive methods it may be stated that the most modern of all forms of transâ€" port, the aeroplane, has been used of late years and found ideal for certain phases of the work. 1 The Department of Natural Reâ€" sources at Ottawa gives interesting inâ€" formation as to the varied methmls of travel used by presentâ€"day surâ€" veyors in the carrying on of their profession, especially in the northern sections of the country. Among the means used by the surveyors the folâ€" lowing may be listed:â€" airplanes, steam trains, electric trains, dog teams,, ‘‘shank‘s mare,"‘‘ horseâ€"drawn vehicles, canoes, steamboats, electric engine boats, gasoline boats, automoâ€" bales, mule power and so on.

In some cases land belongs to companies, and the company beâ€" come dormant; any shareholder in the company, however, may pay the taxes for four years and make an applicaâ€" tion to the Mining Court to compel the company to refund him the taxes paid or lose title to the land. This provision has been very useful to proâ€" tect coâ€"owners and shareholders and also to bring in the taxes. ‘*No doubt a small pereentage of the lands on the list are those that the owners deliberately intend to abandon the claims. As the lands adâ€" vertised are only about 10 per cent. of the whole, this would mean that possibly 1 to 3 per cent. of the total lands are considered worthless by the owners.

The greater number of owners of the taxable lands pay the taxes promptly every year, a considâ€" erable number paying even before the 1st of October, when the tax is due. Ssome few of the cautious ones, chiefly the owners of small areas, even pay a year or so in advance. l "Of the delinquent lands ad\'er-i tised, nearly one half are lands that were advertised in 1920, the last time there was a forfeiture. _ The taxes were paid up at that time, but nothâ€" ing has been paid since.
