Department of Public
Works [, undated].
To the Committee representing the Mining Industry,
A. J. McQuatters, and other signers, Present:
Referring to your petition of June 4, I beg to advise you that, as I
stated to you personally, although the mining law of March 19 of the
current year is in effect and in full force, the period of 120 days
fixed for the resumption of work has not yet begun to run, for the
reason that the regulations of said law have not been published,
which this Department under my charge has under consideration and
which will be published in the coming month of August, unless
circumstances make it expedient to delay the publication referred
to.
This reply will be duly published in the Official Gazette.
Yours very truly,
