Mr. l, Lamarche arrived in Cobalt. and In- i formed me that your Minister of. '; Lands and Mines was very desirous! ', that our title should be pcrfocted.,i . ' and that in case there was any dues-i tion of the lake not being openedl for staking. an order in Council had. been passed. and was being sent up to the Recorder at Hailoybury ano' thorizing the Recorder to accept ap-l plications for Cobalt Lake. We were? also advised to stake the road al-f lowance. We proceeded in accord-: ance with this direction to restakcl . our discoveries, and had the same reoi corded on the night of the 17th of: July, 1905 (on the arrival of the inol structions from the Minister oil Lands). and for which we have our recording receipts. I then, at eon-i , siderable expense. continued prospect-; ing the property. and did open up, ' some of the discoveries. until i was notified by Mr. Chapin that Cobalt) Lake had been withdrawn from open! t ation. In the meantime I was in-, formed that a Government inspectorl had inspected Cobalt Lake and rm] ported that We had made no discern cries. We had never been notified! " that this inspection was going tot take place. which was contrary to the customs your inspectors had fol- bowed, as they had always given sew-n days' notice to other parties when ind specting their claim. Ive, appealedf , against this inspection. as we claim-i _ed Mr. Corckie had not seen our. discoveries, and in accordance withl this the Minister of Lands and! Mines sent on inSpectors Mickie. and?
