All occupation licenses, certificates of sale or receipts for moneys paid on the sale of public lands, and all location tickets issued and signed by an agent in favour of any person who has purchased public lands, shall have the same effect in respect of such person and his assigns, and shall confer upon them the same rights, powers and privileges, in relation to the lands for which they have been issued, and shall subject them to the same conditions, as if such person had obtained from the Minister an instrument in the form of an occupation license in conformity with section 22.
