'ihat would guide; me in the Council, -[if (l should ha,ve the honor to be elected.; ...,:.;• ;r ; : | ' 1. I aui opposed to' the' sale of any auriferous land that can be worked by'tliii 'miner. I object to capitalists having the privilege of buying large tracts oi land, at 10a an acre for mere speculation, whereas a poor man, wanting a small homestead of 10 or 20 acres, is .charged £1 or even £2 an acre. ; I am- in favor of such an amendment' in the , Waste Lands Act that would permit a man " to occupy a piece of land, and 1 to have 'the privilege of turning out his cattle on the Waste Lands adjoining, all rental paid for it being part of tbe purchase money, providing that the miner shoulii -have free access to search for gold on all uncultivated 'ground without compensation for ; 2o years; '• Uu\ 2. i Believe the time has arrived; when such an alteratipn in. our, G,old-mining ; Regu-. lations might be adyahtagebu'siy made in old gold-fields, such as.- are %to ;be /found in-the district of .Paroa, that would prevent any unnecessary interference with parties who have" been at a great, expense in brin • jng in water. I also contend that ah Act having been passed making a miner's right available for Nelson and. Westland. Gold-fields, ought to be proclaimed at once. ;; ym ;> .3.

Paroa road through ,Rutherglen,:till' ; it joins the Marsden road. ~ A road from Marsden to Limestone, one also to Cameron's, and the road continued from -Cariboo to Irishman's. A biidge over the New River is indispensable, and any other necessary work will be freely advocated by me. r i : .-. 7.
