Miners' Meetings and Mining Boards: the Development of Mining Law In
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. -

Color: Uncolored Condition: VG Size: 16 x 11 inches Price: SOLD Description: Detailed map of the Northwest Cariboo District, in British Columbia, drawn on a scale of 3 Miles = 1 inch. The legend shows main roads, old and second class roads and trails. The map focuses on the region between the Fraser River to the west and Barkerville and Quesnel Forks in the east, with Quesnel River running diagonally across the map. The map's primary focus is the hydrographical details of the region, including noting an Old Hydraulic Pit, Hell Dredger, Lower Dredger, Reed Dredger? and Sunker Dredger. Several towns and Post Offices are noted, including Barkersville Stanley Beaver Pass Ho. Cottonwood Quesnel Quesnell Forks The map covers the region which was the scene of the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1861-67. By 1860, there were gold discoveries in the middle basin of the Quesnel River around Keithley Creek and Quesnel Forks, just below and west of Quesnel Lake. Exploration of the region intensified as news of the discoveries got out.

Barkerville and Its Buildings
Eldorado Vernacular: Barkerville and Its Buildings Jennifer Iredale* ooden buildings from the gold rush era can be found from Victoria to Barkerville in British Columbia. Taken as a whole, this built heritage might be described as an “Eldorado WVernacular” – a legacy of a frenetic period of population movement, temporary settlement, and catch-as-catch can building – rather than as a formal architectural tradition.1 Isolation, the pressing need for shelter, a poorly developed transportation infrastructure, and abundant local forests spawned wooden structures designed for expedient domestic and functional purposes rather than for polite or monumental ends, many of them in “instant towns” such as Barkerville, founded in 1862 and historically the most important surviving gold rush settlement in the province.2 As early as 1924, Barkerville and the Cariboo goldfields were desig- nated as a national historic site by the government of Canada. In 1958, a provincial government committed to preserving evidence of the transformative gold rushes that had brought the mainland colony into existence a century before designated a number of historic places significant for their gold rush history, and Barkerville was reborn as a historic town and tourist attraction. In the years that followed, several * I wish to acknowledge and thank colleagues at Barkerville Historic Town whose work has contributed to this article, particularly past curators Clarence Wood, Ken Mather, and Bill Quackenbush as well as past ceo Judy Campbell and colleagues Ken Scopick, Ron Candy, Jennifer Morford, Dave Coulson, Anne Laing, Mandy Kilsby, Mike Will, and Richard Wright. Portions of this article appear in Another Wooden City among the Rocks: Historic Places of the Gold Rush in British Columbia, the Royal BC Museum’s catalogue accompanying the exhibition “Gold Rush! El Dorado in BC.” 1 Surviving examples of similar architectural traditions can be found in California (e.g., at Bodie and Columbia) and, dating to the Klondike gold rush, in Dawson City and Skagway. -

MULTI-PARAMETER ASSESSMENT OF SLOPE MOVEMENTS IN GLACIOLACUSTRINE SEDIMENTS, QUESNEL RIVER VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Ahren J. Bichler, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia Peter T. Bobrowsky, Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario Melvyn E. Best, Bemex Consulting International Ltd., Victoria, British Columbia Abstract A detailed site investigation of a landslide on the upper Quesnel River is undertaken as part of a regional assessment of landslide activity. Along side more conventional stratigraphic and sedimentological investigative measures, geophysical surveying techniques are utilized to aid in the description of the internal structure of the landside and surrounding terrain This paper presents some of the preliminary results and interpretations of ground penetrating radar and direct current resistivity surveys and relates geophysical interpretations to the geologic structure of the terrace and landslide. They have proven their utility for subsurface mapping of landslides at two different scales. In addition, it is believed that surfaces of rupture have been imaged by both methods. Résumé Une investigation détaillée du site d’un glissement de terrain le long de la rivière Quesnel a été conduite dans le cadre d’une évaluation régionale de l’évaluation de l’aléa. En plus d’une reconnaissance stratigraphique et sédimentologique conventionnelle, le site du glissement de terrain a fait l’objet d’une investigation géophysique afin de décrire la structure interne de la zone affectée par le glissement de terrain et des secteurs adjacents. Cet article présente une interprétation préliminaire des résultats obtenus par géoradar et par résistivité en courant continu, et fait le lien entre l’interprétation des données géophysiques et les structures géologiques du glissement de terrain et de la terrasse. -
