Lode mining has only been in progress about 26 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 sre more liberal and the ‘fees lower than
any. other Province in the Dominion or any Colony in the British Empire, .
''” Mineral 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. E Practically all British Columbia mineral properties upon which work
has been done are described in some ona of the Annual Reports of the Minister.
of Mines, Those considering mining investmenta should refer to such reports,
They are available without charge on application to the Department:of Mines, ,
Victoria, B.C. Reports covering each of the six Mineral Survey Districts are ie
published separately, and are available on application, Reports of the Geologi- .
cal Survey of Canada, Winch Buil ding, Vancouver, B.C., are recommended ag

‘A ROAD- CONIMISSION:

“The: ‘Vanvourer Automobile Club is
now out gunning. for the Department:
of; public. works. It. “wants, the road
building put: under. a commission,. en
tirely removed from politics. There
nre some gocd points in the scheme.
but British Columbia’s experience with
running things by commission has not.
been. very encouraging and it-is. very
donhtiul if this one, would. be any het:
ter than others that have been tried,
One ,of the hardest. obstacles. to. over.
come would be ‘to’ secure the consent
of any gévermaent to give up, such an
important spending department to. Say
nothing of the political influence that
is attuched to round: building. It is al-
so doubtful if the rest’-of the prov ince’
would. stand for 2 Vancouver or a Vie-
toria man having full say as to what

not. Goodness knows those southern
