MINING LAWS.
I notice that tlie Waihi people are seeking an amendment to the Mining Act so as to get better titles to mining property, so that they will not be liable to forfeiture through noncompliance with working whatever the conditions may be at Waihi I don t know, but on many old goldfields in iNew Zealand large areas are being held by mining parasites for years, without any work being done. Any talk of a mining revival causes large numbers of claims and prospecting aieas to be applied for, the object being to he &b e to float a company should gold be struck in the district. The mining laws and management that have allowed this to take place for a great many years back are responsi for the downfall of gold mining in New Zea land, and there will be no mining revival any value to the country while this lreP ar , ment is under political control. Large al J loU |l of money a-re being thrown away each y for the want of better understanding, miners and prospectors have been most of the goldfields years ago by wie ditions that now exist, 00
