Lode mining has only been in progress ‘about 25 years, and only about one.  «

half of the Province has been prospected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored -
mineral bearing lands are open for prospecting.

The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fbes lower than
any other Province in the Dominion or any Colony in the British Empire.

ineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute titles
are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by
crown grants,

N.B.— Practically all British Columbia mineral properties upon which work:
has been done are described in someone of the Annual Reports of the Minister
of Mines. Those considering mining investments should refer to such reports.
They are available without charge on application to the Department of Minez,
Victorian, B.C. Reports covering each of the six Mineral Survey Districts are
published separately, and are availabie on application, Reports of the Geologi-
eal Survey of Canada, Winch Building, Vancouver, 8.C., are recommended as
valuable sources of information,
