Details concerning times, fees, elec. will be announced laters. u. - + The Prospect org iso. agreed | to mount’a ‘full seale atlack’ on the Government of Canada concerning the taxalion of a Prospectors gains from sale of Mineral Claims. In discussing the matter, several previously submiiled papers and letters from various mining groups were read, Ii was noted that no action has resulted. The problem, suggested R.H. (Dick) Bates, ‘Northern Chamber" President, is that ihe Govern- ment in Otlawa does nol have an understanding of the hard- ships and privations of a - Prospector in exploration. Many, it has been said often, work for more than adecade before finally selling a Mining Property, The sale, usually paying about $1,000 to $2,000 on signing, ‘unless the property is an exceptionally large and obvious ore-body, rarely results in’ the company taking the property going past the first © phase of .work and therefore drops"the ‘option’ and pays no more, The Prospector must then look for others.

This lreatment is completely unfair considering the means and extremely high risk involved. The ‘Northern Chamber' is about lo prepare a Petition which will be widely circulated to bona-fide Prospectors in Canada. It is hoped the Canada Government will realize (hat here is a very smali minority who have created billions of dollars in employment and an untold wealth of production for Canada, 7 Deck We wonder, says ‘Bales’ "how the Government can overlook this inequality at a time when ‘employment’ is the theme of nearly all political speeches and government actions. The Prospectors, encouraged to slay in their practice can do very much to provide em- ployment. Regarding the Provincial Department of Mines, a graph has been prepared showing that considerably more dollars are pained by the B.C. Government coffers from Mining than from the Forest Industry. Though - the Mining Industry is smaller than is the Forest Industry. lt is .pointed out that ex- -penditures on the B.C. Forest Service are len times higher than that of the-Mines Depart- ment. Mining people believe the Pravincial Government has been very short sighted in this practice, Much is to be done in B.C. in the field of Geological Maping, research in exploration and badly needed is a change in the entire Mineral Claim handling system, Claim maps, for instance, are still produced . in some areas which appear as dirty grey sheets with fine, almost invisible lines Library... ‘By Claudette Sandecki.

It is pointed out that on a map of scale 1 inch equals 1320 feet, a Mineral Claim is drawn on the map measuring Y2" by 44" which is not correct and leads to gross error in determining the true . position of Mineral Claims when in an active area hundreds, or _even thousands of 'Claims' are staked.

An example of this is the age-old practice of allowin g the Prospector to keep his Mineral Claims in good standing (they expire at the end of one year if he fails to do $100 in work or pays $100) only by doing actual physical digging, drilling and blasting. With a host of geophysical tools at his disposal, and the availability of geochemical facilities and knowing that he must prospect and geological may his ‘ground’, he must disregard these things and first do his digging ete. This is in strict conflict without belief that a minimu of digging, cutting, blasting etc. should be done unless shown to be warranted by results of geophisical, geological or geochemical surveyS or programs..
