AGREEMENT between Counsel on behalf of the Dominion and Ontario inter-
vening parties upon the Appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in
Ontario Mining Company vs. Seybold et al

AS to all Treaty Indian Reserves in Ontario (including those in the territory
covered by the North West Angle Treaty which are or shall be duly established pur-
suant to the Statutory Agreement of One thousand eight hnudred and ninety four)
and which have been or shall be duly surrendered by the Indians to sell or lease for
their benefit Ontario agrees to confirm the titles heretofore made by the Dominion
and that the Dominion shall have full power and authority to sell or lease and convey
title in fee simple or for any less estate.

THE Dominion agrees to hold the proceeds of such lands when or so far as they
have been converted into money upon the extinction ,of the Indian interest therein
subject to such rights of Ontario thereto as may exist by law.

AS to the Reserves in the Territory covered by the North West Angle Treaty which
may be duly established as aforesaid Ontario agrees that the precious metals shall be
considered to form part of the Reserves and may be disposed of by the Dominion for
the benefit of the Indians to the same extent and subject to the same undertaking as to
the proceeds as heretofore agreed with regard to the lands in such Reserves.

THE question as to whether other reserves in Ontario include the precious metals
to depend upon the instruments and circumstances and law affecting each case
respectively.

NOTHING is hereby conceded by either party with regard to the constitutional
or legal rights of the Dominion or Ontario as to the sale or title to Indian Reserves
or precious metals or as to any of the contentions submitted by the cases of either Gov-
ernment herein but it is intended that as a matter of policy and convenience the
Reserves may be administered as hereinbefore agreed.

NOTHING herein contained shall be construed as binding Ontario to confirm the
titles heretofore made by the Dominion to portions of Reserve 38 B already granted by
Ontario as appearing on the proceedings.
Dated the 7th July 1902.
