mineral bearing lands are open for prospecting.

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

Mineral locationa are granted to discoverers for nominal fees, Absolute titles
are obtained by developing such properties, security of which.is guaranteed by

Practically all British Columbia, mineral properties on which development
