per claim in the case of a lode mining, lease.
[Sidenote: Concentrated working.]
Provided that in the case of contiguous leases held by the same person
or corporation, the Governor may, on cause being shown, allow any two

[Sidenote: Deposit of tailings and waste matter.]
20. In any case where tailings or any other products whatever from the
operations of mining or metallurgy are being discharged, or about to
be discharged, in such a manner as to hinder or injuriously affect any

development of mining, it shall be lawful for the Government Inspector of
Mines to order the disposal of such products or tailings in some other
manner not detrimental to present or future mining.

will permit, every manager or person in charge of mining operations
shall lodge with the Government Inspector of Mines a written statement
setting forth:—
