FOR MINERS
Dr. Youug To Espouse Cause
Of Individuals
One of the things to which Dr. H. E.
Young, the member from Atlin, will
direct much of his attention this win
ter will be the concessions for hydraulic
purposes that have been made in the
Atlin district. He will make it a point
to see that the of concessions are
developed ?s the law contemplates they
sha'.l or that they give way, permitting
the individual miner to have an oppor
tunity to develop and prospect the
ground.
"I believe," says Dr. Young, "that
the individual miners who came into
the Atlin district, proved its worth,
developed it and who are today its chief
producers should not be restricted in
their opportunities by men who are
holding concessions for speculative pur
poses. No one desires to injure those
hydraulic men who are 'spending their
money in the development of the coun
try. Every effort should and will be
made to protect their interets. What
the people of Atlin object to, in which
objection I shall uphold them to the
extent of my ability, is the continuance
in effect of those concessions which re
tard development.
"The intention of the British Colum
bia law is that hydraulic^ concession 3 of
80 acres may be made where ground
has been proven to be of too low grade
to pay to work without extensiye
machinery and with great outlay of
money for the purpose of developing
water supply, power, etc. In other
words the concession is supposed to fol
low the abandonment of ground by the
individual miner. In the Atlin district
in the beginning this was overlooked,
rtiere had been no great placer dis
coveries between the Cariboo and the
Klondike. During the long years
between the decline of individual placer
mining and its revival by reason of the
Klondike and Atlin discoveries, thej
hydraulic men were the principal pro- 1
ducerS of placer gold and their interest
were more in the mind of adtninistra- ;
tors than were those of the individual j
min-r whose rights wtre held in
abeyance.
"Under the circumstances it was very
natural that promoters should induce
th^se in authority to permit them to
enctoach upon the rights ot the indivi
dual mi' ers before the latter under
stood them well enough to assert them
selves and call "a halt. Many conces
sions were granted in the Atlin district,
like wad the cace in the Klondike,
wherein the intent of the law was not
re<?rded.
"Our plan is now to return to the
1 iw. Those who have concessions will
b ? required to utilize them as the law
profiles or have them cancelled. The
strict letter of the law will be obscred
in applications for concessions in the
future.
"Headway has been made already in
this respect. Within the last year 130
concessions have been cancelled. More
will follow."
Dr. Young will also seek to have the
size of placer claims enlarged from ".ISO
fset square, as at present, to 300 by
1,000 feet in s'ze. He says this is in
accordance with ideas of right prevail
ing in the Atlin district among those
who have devoted the last half dozen
years to placer mining, and he oelieves
they are tbe men best qualified to judge
on all placer mining matters.
