    1 FBCA Newsletter Volume 15, Number 1 Terry Reksten Memorial Fund Recipients 2015 The recipients of the 2015 grants from the Terry Reksten Memorial Fund have been selected! This year the Salt Spring Island Historical Society (SSIHS) and the Western Front Media Archive were chosen to receive this annual award. Each organization will receive $1000 to assist with their projects. The SSIHS, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Salt Spring Elementary School, will use the grant to preserve and document the early history of the school district #64 (Gulf Islands). They will create an oral history by interviewing former and current students and teachers. As well, photographs associated with SSI elementary school, staff, students and community members will be digitized. The results of the project will be added to their archives and be presented on their website: saltspringarchives.com. The Western Front Media Archives represents a small arts community active in Vancouver for over 40 years. They will use the grant to improve the organization and storage conditions of the textual records dating from the 1970s and 1980s. They will re-house artist files, posters and ephemera, which include key records like contracts, correspondence and publicity materials. A staff member will create an inventory list of the contents of the boxes while they are being re-housed.

    Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills A Thesis in The Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2016 © Thomas Oscar Mills, 2016 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Thomas Oscar Mills Entitled: Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski Chair Dr. Eric H. Reiter Examiner Dr. Gavin Taylor Examiner Dr. Wilson Chacko Jacob Supervisor Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date Abstract Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills Miners’ meetings were a customary legal practice from California that was imported to British Columbia during the Fraser River gold rush (1858). To date, there has been limited recognition of this practice’s influence on the development of British Columbia. The historical works that do exist on the subject argue that the practice was not established in the colony owing to the Colonial Government’s allowance for Mining Boards, a representative institution, by The Gold Fields Act, 1859. To the contrary, this thesis looks at the different ways that miners’ meetings and miners’ customary law were expressed and adapted to conditions in British Columbia before and after the passing of The Gold Fields Act, 1859.

  • The Development of Gold Mining Law and the 1863 Mining Board
    Adapting to Miners’ Practices: The Development of Gold Mining Law and the 1863 Mining Board Thomas Mills n the spring of 1858, there was a gold rush to the Fraser River within New Caledonia – an unorganized territory under British sov- ereignty and part of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s fur trading empire. ITens of thousands of miners and camp followers travelled to the mainland. Most came by sea, passing through Fort Victoria, whereas others made the trip overland through Washington Territory and across the forty-ninth parallel. Gold seekers came from a variety of places, including Canada, Australia, Britain, and China, but – especially during this early gold rush – most travelled from California and had participated in the California gold rush. During the California gold rush (1849), there had been an absence of formal law and order on the frontier. In response, miners organized spon- taneously, using popular assemblies to create informal mining law and to govern mining districts. These assemblies, known as miners’ meetings, made decisions by simple majority vote – a system that produced enough social stability for gold mining to take place. Over time, customary mining law and certain mining practices became ingrained in mining culture. As a result, when experienced Californian miners travelled to the Fraser River almost a decade later, they brought their culture, including miners’ meetings, with them.1 1 John Phillip Reid has suggested the miners’ meeting is North American in origin. He points out that, during western expansion, settlers recreated approximations of judicial practices as ways of dealing with crime in legally ambiguous territory.
