VICTORIA, March 26.—To a very large extent opposition criti- cism the bill to amend the Mineral Act—-now awaiting the formal royal assent—has centred upon a belief that its operation would work a hardship upon the Although the Hon. Sloan, the minister in charge of the bill, took a good deal of pains to explain the ob jects of the measure and to illus- trate intended working to the benefit of the prospector and to the province at large, the tempta- tion on the part of the opposition Lo upon the more contentious points as a medium the manufacture of campaign naterial was altogether too great. In brief the measure seeks to zive power to the Lieutenant- ernor-in-Council to place a deposits. The of prospector. William its iVembpers seize for fray reserve on won ore latitude in question life of three years is to the authority so granted will be exercised in such a way as to in- flict nothing in the nature of hard- ship interference with the prospector or any class of people nterested in the mining industry. As already inferred, however, it will be used for the advancement the interests of those directly or indiveetly concerned in the de velopment of the mineral resour- ces of*this province, as well as for the benefit of the publie at large. The Reply to Criticism. As far as the prospector 1s con- cerned it is common knowledge that the absence of any sort Of ‘estriction in the past has been no particular benefit to him, nor can it be argued today that he would benefit materially by reason of his discovery and loca- tion of purely iron deposits. It goes without saying that without an iron and steel industry in western Canada there is not suf- ficient market—if any—to make the product of such holdings saleable. That the force of this argument is appropriately appre- ciated by the prospectors them- selves evidenced by a_ state- ment recently given to the minis- ter of mines by the president of the Prospectors’ Protective Asso- is ciation, whose dictum reads in part as follows: “The iron de posits of British Columbia have in the past been of no value to the prospector. This class of ore is absolutely useless. By re- serving districts which are idle and not covered by mineral] claims there should be no reason or ground for opposition; for, if we have a steel plant in the province, it would furnish a market for ore which is now being held by the prospectors of the province and which would remain idle until such time as this market is cre- ated. Gonsidering the benefits which British Columbia should derive from an industry of this kind I feel it my duty to give you (the minister of mines) my ap- proval-” What It Means. It has been charged that pres- ent holders and operators would be adversely affected by the oper ation of the new provisions In the Act. There no foundation in the supposition. The authority | asked for does not apply to iron ore locations already held under the Mineral or any other Act.

It may be of interest to recall the fact that on Texada Island iron ore deposits of high grade abound in plenty yet little expen diture on development has been made. For more than forty years they have been out of the posses- sion of the Crown. On the other hand it must be remembered that it is not intended to touch the un- questioned rights of those who have complied with all the laws heretofore; it is proposed, how- is to prevent the extension of the process of alienation which has been so common in British Co- lumbia fdr many years. The Government does not intend to adopt an indifferent attitude and allow the development of the inon ore resources of the province to be impeded by perpetuating th policy, And it may be as well to point out that many such deposits are privately held with little or no work done on them, while there is only one conclusion possible to arrive at as to the object in their original acqnisition. Un- questionably they were obtained and are being held purely for speculative purposes. It is ob- vious, therefore, that it is in the publie interest to remove this very dangerous obstacle to de- velopment by creating machinery industry. Once this done. British steel been . with which to induce capital for the development of an iron and has Jolumbia should be able to look forward to the launching of such enterprises ‘éias may assure to her the position ever, that for a time new iron |properties—as may be deemed of sufficient importance — shall be reserved by the Crown. Modus Operandl. On the report of the discovery by a prospector of iron the resi- dent engineer in which the find is made will be asked to inspect and report it, If it is considé ced on investigation that the ore is 80 situated, is in such quantity and of such quality as to warrant the belief that it might assist in the object in view, namely, the launching of an inon and steel industry, the power taken by the Government to apply the reserve very probably would be exercised. The whole idea of the measure, therefore, is designed towards inc dustrial expansion, not contrac- tion in the least particular. window cards take See them at the Two-color flle eye quickly.
