280 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



12. The Minister shall have the right to inspect the timber operations 

 on the said territory at any time he may deem it advisable or in the public 

 interest; and if upon inspection it appears, and the Minister so decides, that 

 the said timber operations are carried on in such a way that any merchantable 

 or valuable timber that should be removed, is being left or destroyed, the 

 Minister shall have the right to estimate the said timber so remaining uncut 

 or being destroyed, and charge the same to the Grantee at, and the Grantee 

 shall pay therefor, the same rate of dues and bonus as if the same had been 

 actually removed by the said Grantee. 



13. The cutting and removing of timber on said territory or any part 

 thereof shall not be deemed to have been completed until it has been examined 

 by an officer of the Crown nor until such operation shall have been declared 

 satisfactory by the Minister. 



14. The Grantee shall not, at any time or in any place, deposit, empty, 

 run or turn into any river, stream, or other waters whatsoever, any refuse, 

 sawdust, chemicals, or matter of any kind, which shall or may be injurious to 

 fish life, or have the effect of destroying, harming or driving away the fish in 

 such river, stream or water. 



15. All water powers and privileges on said territory, and the right of 

 the Crown to raise, hold, lower, and maintain the waters on the rivers, streams 

 and lakes in said territory at such height and in such conditions as may be found

 to the Crown. 



16. The Crown shall retain the right to sell, lease, locate or otherwise 

 dispose of any lands included in the said territory on the same terms and con- 

 ditions for settlement, mining, or other purposes as ordinary Crown lands 

 situated elsewhere, and this agreement is not to impede or retard settlement, 

 or mining operations, and nothing herein contained shall limit or affect the 

 right of the Crown or its Ministers to sell, lease, locate or otherwise dispose of 

 lands in the aforesaid territory for settlement, mining or other purposes. 



17. Nothing herein contained or to be done hereunder or by virtue hereof, 

 shall entitle the Grantee to a monopoly in the use of any rivers, streams, or 

 lakes or tributaries thereof, in the said territory, but the same shall be and con- 

 tinue open for the use of the public in accordance with the law in that behalf, 

 and in the event of the works of the Grantee in any way interfering with the 

 driving of logs or timber down the said rivers, streams or lakes or tributaries 

 thereof, the Minister, as well as such other lawful authority as may be con- 

 stituted therefor, shall have full power to determine from time to time the 

 provisions necessary to overcome such interference, and thereupon the said 

 Grantee, as and when directed, will make provision accordingly.

 shall be deemed to confer any right to cut or remove timber from any territory 

 or area while under license or permit from the Crown.
