Almost every claim creek was summ d, upd| still to be adjuste clusion ‘reached, however, | Gold Commissioner Fawcett posted a no- | t three weeks ago declaring that aims on the creek located since | November 15 would not be recognized by him; that no persons would be allowed to prospect - hill cl s on_Dominion Creek who had ured ‘permits from | the Commission hat these permits could be obtained on July 11 at 10 o’clock and t all parties wishing to locate will be required to secure a suitable pros- pect before they would be permitted to | record. This order struck the camp as a partic- | ularly unwelcome innovation. The -set- ting aside of the recorded claims was bad enough to those It hit, but would have been generally welcomed . if it had given | all an equal chance to stake. ihe per-| mits, it was seen, puld give those who recelved them first a great advantage | and no one seemed to have faith in an | equal distribution. The rnotice was post- | ed generally throughout the- district and | miners were on thelr way in from dis- | tant points when they met the stampedes coming. out. On_the 9th of the month a notice dated on the Sth was posted about town can- celing the first order and declaring that hill and bench claims on Dominion Creek were then open for location and prospect- ing ' all free miners. This was well enough if the miners at distant points up the creek and, indeed, even those in | town, had not already been decefved to | thelr ruin so_far as staking a claim was | concerned. - The fact was, however, that a knowledge that such an order was to be issued was given out to a few the day before it was posted. The news passed from one to another and the big stampede took place. Indeed, the fastest runners of this crowd found men already ahead of them, located on many of the best claims in the hill class. They had re- ceived even an earlier tip. On_Saturday evening the 9th a mass | meeting was held on Front street, in| front of the North American Trading Company's store, which passed resolu- tions asking for &weeping changes in the mining laws and regulations briefly stated tollo: That the royalty be abol- shed; that there be no alternate or other reservations of mining claims for the crown; that claims left vacant by non- representation be open to new claimant: that no timber limit be issued to any in- dividual or company on any creek or gdjacent to any ereek where tmber may e necessary for use in development' of mines and that the placer creek claims be gnlarged In length to 500 feet as hereto- ore. A second mass meeting was held on the ADVERTISEMENTS.

George Armstrong, Pat Galvin and D.
