PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $339,280,940

Lode-mining has only been in progress about 83 years,
and not 20 per cent. of the Province has been even pros-
pected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral bear-
ing lands are open for prospecting.

The mining Jaws of this Provinee are 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 pro-
perties, security of which is guaranteed by crown grants.
