MINING IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA

In view of the present un-
settled conditions in the mining
industry, caused by the recent
amendments to the Mining Act,
a group of mining geologists and
engincers have written a scrics
of short articles explaining what
the industry is and how it has
been affected by the amendments.
The Mining Industry and the
New Mining Laws

Recent changes in laws af-
fecting the mining industry have
focussed sharp attention upon it
and at the same time have evok-
ed loud cries of di: from

vides for a 10 per cent tax on all
unmined ore and the other, Bill
91, takes away the right to Crown
grant claims and substitutes a
five year retention lease and a 21
year production leuse, both re-
newable only at the discretion of
the Minister.

The mining industry is part-
icularly sensitive to the quality
of the laws under which it oper-
ates because it is a high risk in-
dustry, Mineral deposits are lim-
ited in size and exhaustible, For
this reason, it is essential that a

search be mak

Injured Workmen
Should Not Leave B.6.

Workmen are reminded ‘by
the Workmen's Compensation
Board that if they are. injured
and are on compensation they
should not leave the Province
unless they first secure’ written
permission from the Board,

Failure to do this will ser-
jously jeopardize tné continuation
of compensation payments, for
time loss and medical aid.

The Workmen's Compensa-
tion Act requires that the Boar?
supervise all medical treatment
of compensation cases. The B.C,
Board has no’ jurisdiction” on
medical attention outside of Brit-
ish Columbia and or this reason
said it was necessary for them to
insist that this reguiation be ad-
hered to,

the miners. The Socred Govern-
ment, feeling its vats, and looking
about it to see where innovations
could be made, had its. attention
directed to the m‘ning industry,
took hold of it, but instead of tak-
ing by the hand, seized it in-
stead by the throat, This may not
have been intentional, but ap-

parently was done in good but
blind faith,

The present position of. the
government in relation to the
mining business is a little like
that between the man and the
dog whom he sent efter a rabit.
It was in the days when dogs
could talk. After a time back
came the dog without the rabbit
but with his tongue out so far he
was tripping over it. “Well”,
said the master, “You're a smart
one, aren't you? You couldn't
eatch him, eh?” “No, I’m sorry”.
said Fido, “but there was this dif-
ference. I was running for your
dinner and he was running for
his life.” In our case, the gov.
only makes and administers laws
but the mining business has to
make its own living under them.

In March, 1957, the Provin-
cial Government, in two bills,
destroyed confidence in B.C’s
mining laws. One, Bill 87, pro-

for new ones. These are hard end
costly to find, especially in B.C,
where rugged tetzein and heavy
forest or soil cover are massive
obstacles to search. Canada is
lange and conditichs for ore
search are casier in its more eas-
tern parts than here. So, in or-
der to attract exploration capital
o B,C., hospitable conditions must
be established and maintained.
Once confidence is lost it is hard
to restore, because risk capital
is easily scared and may run far.
‘The mining laws of this Province
have been establihed in the
courts over the years and were
everywhere regarded with ap-
proval. It is true that certain
parts could be modernized but
security of title is an essential
that must be retained in the act.
If a deposit is found and devel-
oped at great cost, as is always
the case, and is later found that
the deposit is uneconomical at
prevailing prices, the developer
wants to be sure that he can re-
tain title till it is economic. Fur-
thermore, he will not spend high
risk funds if he is threatened
with confiscatory taxation, and
Bill 87 says that ore in the
ground may he taxed up to 10

per cent of its value being set by

the Minister. This means that an
entire ore body’* value could go
to the government in 10 years,
The apologists tate this is not the
intention of Bill 87, but. that is
what it states. Actually, it is be-
ing administered quite differently
but people who allot exploration
funds know that administrations
may change sudderly.

for new ore sources, mining con-
sists of two main parts, produc-

overlap, but, in general, the func-
tions are separate and are car-
ried out by different staffs, Ex-
ploration geologists ‘and engin-
eers. commonly work far apart
from the producing mines. Where
mining companies are large, they
carry on both exploration and

They may maiutain exploration
headquarters in a half dozen or
more places or one mine, such as
Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing Company, may provide funds
fo exploration in several count-
ries of the Commonwealth. Oil
companies, with their greater re-
sources, explore all parts of the
globe where laws are favourable
for such.

When the continent was
young, exploration consisted of
examination of rock outcrops by
