"At the board of trade banquet last week Mr. J. W. Reed made a stateâ€" ment to the effect that so far as he knew not a single mining property the case very aptly at the bo trade banquet ten years ago. that time The Advance has noted PHONE 112 Residence PHONE 135 time The Reed put board of CHANGES PROPOSED IN THE AIRMAN DESCRIBES SERIOUS QUEBEG MINING LAWS NUW CONDITIONS AMONG INDIANS Minister of Mines Suggests Important Revision of Clauses of Quebec Mining Act. Many in this district are concerned in Quebec mining areas and so will be interested in contemplated changes in the mining laws of the neighbouring province. Accordingly the information in despatches last week from Quebec City will be of particular interest. The despatches say that some important changes were proposed to the Quebec mining act by the minister of mines, colonization and fiisheries in the proâ€" vincial government, chief among which are creating a geological mineralogical body, the extension of the delay in which mining licenses may be obtained especially when the claim is more than 100 miles from a railroad and closer control of the mining industry in general. The amendments are designed: To facilitate the staking and assessment work on claims staked in remote areas by permitting two years to elapse beâ€" fore registration or securing of the mining license; to make surer the bona fides of the staker by compellng him to do all the assessment workâ€"as proâ€" vided by law during the period of his possession of the claim stakes, and the establishment of a geological and minâ€" eralogical bureau to promote the deâ€" velopment of the mining industry in According to the present law in Queâ€" bec the delay which is allowed in seâ€" curing mining licenses is set at six months in all cases, but January, Febâ€" ruary and March are not counted. The new section of the mining act covering | this particular mg.%er states that every holder of a claim miust obtain a license within 12 months except when the claim is 100 miles or more in a straight 7 line from a railroad. It is felt that the new concessions of civilization. Describing this trip, Swartman reâ€" lates a conversation which he had with a Pickle lake Indian who stated that three weeks previous, while making the made to miners in the province of Queâ€" ; bec are designed to open up the Chiâ€" bougamau region, which is said to be of them had died then and another would probably die that night, Dr. Bell very rich and to contain precious metal, while asbestos and other fine minerals are reported in abundance. There is a little prospecting and mining activity in the Chibougamau region at present, a number of prospectors being carried . in by airplane during the course of the winter, but it is figured that with the new rules in force there will be an immediate rush to the new field of activity although communication rather limited. rounds of his trap line, he had met anâ€" other Indian from the north. The latâ€" ter had told him, that conditions farâ€" ther north were very bad and that there was much sickness. At Pickle lake,; Swartman writes, 12 or 14 sick Indiansâ€"the whole populaâ€" tion of the campâ€"were herded into the main cabin which was about eight feet by fourteen feet in size. Three thought. Only one man in the camp was able to hunt or fish and he, Swartman says, was apparently not very expert for the camp‘s food supply was low. Outside one cabin a dog was hanging by the ‘\neck, frozen stiff. The letter does not I 8 1 + explain, but it is surmized that the dog is died from. lack of food and care when virtually the whole camp was ill. a number of prospectors being carried in by airplane during the course of the winter, but it is figured that with the new rules in force there will be an immediate rush to the new field of activity although communication is rather limited. In connection with the prospecting or development work the act states that such prospecting or development must be equivalent to at least 25 days of eight hours each on each 40 acres or fraction of forty acres. Nevertheless, on each claim or fraction thereof havâ€" ing an area of less than 25 acres, work equivalent to 12 days of eight hours each shall suffice. When claims situated at or over 100 miles from a railroad are concerned, the work which the claimholder has to do or cause to be done within the 24 months granted to him must be equivalent to 50 days of eight hours each on each 40 acres or fraction of 40 acres having an area of 20 acres or more, and to 25 days of eight hours each on each fraction of 40 acres havâ€" ing an area of less than 20 acres; and at least one half of such work must be done in the first 12 months. If the holder of a claim fails to establish to the satisfaction of the minister at the expiry of the first 12 months, that he has complied with the provisions of this act, he shall forfeit all rights and priviâ€" leges, unless, however, he obtains a mining license on payment of a supâ€" plementary rental in accordance with section 61. Employers, unders the new provisions of the law, are obliged to report the total amount of wages and salaries paid by them, in addition to the numâ€" ber of hands they employ, thus making the control of financial reports closer. Geologists who may be appointed to the board, which is empowered under the new act, must hold a university deâ€" gree obtained after special study in biology and mineralogy, while the secâ€" tion dealing with the geological branch states "for the purpose of aiding and promoting the development of the minâ€" ing industry in the province the minâ€" ister may create, in the mines branch, a geological and mineralogical body whose duties shall be: (a) to make exâ€" plorations in and study of the ground in order to draw up geological and mineralogical surveys: (b) to publish geological and mineralogical maps and reports in order to make public the reâ€" sults of such work." The new provisions of the law will come into force as soon as the meaâ€" sure is passed by the two houses and is signed by the lieutenantâ€"governorâ€" inâ€"council. Vacuum packing means that at the same moment the package is sealed all air is withdrawn. This method assures perfect preservation and that is why Rideau Hall Coffee is always of uniform high quality. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO All in the North Land are interested in the conditions reported among the Indians in the fr North. There is general regret that according to reports, the Indians are having so serious a time and conditions are so bad. Many from this district are able to visualize the situation as pictured. In the view of some of those who have prospectea as far north as Pickle Lake conditions among the Indians are none too good at the best of times, while in the case of an epidemic or other unusual diffiâ€" culty the natives are liable to suffer very severely and only the strongest or the luckiest survive. In an issue of The Toronto Mail and Empire last week reference was made to a letter received from Pilot Swartman of the Ontario Air Service after a visit to the far North. The Mail and Empire said:â€" well, direc vice., has Swartman Letter from Capt. Swartman, Provincial Aviator, Tells of Influenza Outâ€" break in the Far North a Pickle lake Indian who stated that three weeks previous, while making the rounds of his trap line, he had met anâ€" other Indian from the north. The latâ€" ter had told him, that conditions farâ€" ther north were very bad and that there was much sickness. Influenza is taking its toll in Indian encampments even farther north than the Pickle lake area on the Albany river in the Patricia district, according to a letter which Capt. W. Roy Maxâ€" well, director of the provincial air serâ€" vice. has received froin Pilot Clifford sSwartman is the provincial aviator who flew Pr. W. J. Bell of Sioux Lookâ€" out, into the Pickle lake area about a week ago when news of the epidemic in the wilds first reached the outposts of civilization. The main encampments north of the Pickle lake area are the Windigo laxke and Trout lake camps. At the latter there were 800 Indians and an Angliâ€" can mission. The clergyman in charge of this mission is Rev. Leslie Garrett, who is now on leave and is staying at 4 East 16th street, Mount Hamilton. Mr. Garrett has been in old Ontario all winter and will not return to the north until late spring. Trout lake is a few hundred miles north of the Albany river and lies in the huge north Patricia area in which no treaty has been negotiated yet with the Indians. It is intended that a treaty will be signed this year. This area lies between the Albany river and Hudson Bay, and is bounded on the west by the Manitoba boundary. It is more than 128,000 square miles in exâ€" tent, that is, one and a half times as large as old Ontario. The Trout lake mission is 25 days journey by railway, steamer and canos from Toronto. It is necessary to go by railway to Winnipeg and then by rail to the end of steel on the Hudson Bay railway. One journeys then by canos to York Factory on Hudson Bay. From York Factory, a steamer is then taken and one travels north on Hudson Bay a few hundred miles in order to get the steamer which runs south to the mouth of the Severn river. Arriving at the river mouth, a two weeks‘ canoe trip is necessary to go up the river to ‘Trout lake. COBALT COUNCIL REFUSES TO DEFER ACTION FOR TAXES Cobalt town council last week turned down the request from S. Carrriere, formerly principal of the Cobalt public school, to have the Division Court acâ€" tion started against him to collect back taxes claimed to be due on income postponed until June. Mr. Carriere, who is now in Toronto, wrote A. K. Roberts, local lawyer, asking him to bring the proposal to the attention of the council, the former principal writâ€" ing that he expected to be north in the summer and would try to reach a setâ€" tlement. Mr. Roberts complied with the reâ€" quest, and enclosed forms of postponeâ€" ment in triplicate, but the town council decided the case must go ahead next Friday. The town is suing Carriere for $94.80, plus five per cent. penalty, inâ€" come tax alleged to be due the muniâ€" cipality.
