Ther return Of: the old. time | pros-
neater’ has: -been a ‘Bubject much:

discussed: recently. A writer rée-

7 futes the: statement made. in an

interesting. , Jetter in. the Mining
and: Engineering. World, of Chi-

|eago:.. He: goes into the subject

detail in the: following interesting
manner: : 302. |

‘Is. the: ‘old: prospector passing?
L believe: not, nor. do I think he is
likely to pass. for many years:

Men, ‘things’ and thoughts a are
only" considered strange by- the
masses until. they have become
familiar “with: them; thus’: the
prospector, more: read of than
known, was until Jate years‘ re-
garded as a relative of. Kipling’ 8

Mowsli, living ‘continuously : in.

the wilds and understanding: ‘the
speech and. characters of all: ‘the
==| jungle-folk. © This picture is: ra-

pidly ‘becoming obliterated and

he is now considered a resource-
ful and energetic pioneer, vision-
ful but courageous, and always
with nil desperandum for his
‘motto.

A writer on this subject i in the
Mining and Scientific Press says:
“The -nomadic | prospector with
his shovel, pick: pan and -a sack
of grub, on a burro; is largely of
the past, and it is not. worth the
time trying to revive: him.”’- Yet
from Western papers T-note'such
articles as this:. ‘‘The usual in-
flux of argonauts, prospectors of
the good old golden days of plae-
er mining, is seattered along ‘the
Rogue river with pick: and. pan,

striving for a grubstake and still
| looking forward: to striking “it

fich,’’ This hope springing eter-
nal is the-real spirit of the pros-
pector and is a guarantee of his
long-continued presence on the
frontier. | '

There are still Klondikes; dit.
arods and Chisanas to be ‘discov-
ered; other Tovopahs - and Gold-
fields will be opened up, ” ‘as also
more Sumpters;. Buffalo Humps
and High Grades will” put tem:
porary dampers on ‘the: nomadic
gold-seeker; but as long'as ‘there
remains on our little globe women
and gold, just so ‘long’ will their |”
lovers be on a-still hunt for them, }°
and the equipment for the search
will be secondary consideration.”

Another writer in the Press|
gays: ** There are very few men
‘who have the ‘disposition which:

. |think not.

will allow. them. to isolate: them: ;
civilization. and ern-|...°.

Surely. a)
‘statement like. this is hard 'to“be-

selves from:
dure. hardships, ' * ete,.

lieve,” Has ‘mankind changed 80
much |in the last. twenty years

that there -are: no longer: Klon-
dikers ready. to: start, north, Co-
halt - discoverers*. ready. to move
‘Hudson Bayward and Desert Rats

to continue. their arid: search. : “|!
There are still: ‘pros:
; | pectors for the North Pole, ‘others

ready f for the hardships of: South-
ern: discovery | -and exploration,

aviation prospectors to take ‘up

the . burdens involuntarily: laid

down. by. their. predecessors, and |c
prospectors for precious’ mi tals ||
in the unprospected parts of the
earth.

“In the United States.. viotwith-
standing. statements to the con-
trary,.there are still vast. areas

of virgin ground, immense ‘terri-
tories. practically unseratched;

northern California, Oregon and
southern Idaho, Nevada and much

.Jof..the southeastern states are

still.open to’ the search; North

Central Canada, : the Labrador:
and. northern — British

country, |
Columbia are practically un-
known; Siberia, China and Thibet
have never been’ prospected; fal-
ly. one-half of South American
territory is a stranger to the gold
and silver hunger, and millions

of ‘square miles of Africa: have

scarcely: been entered. of

“Who.is:to: be the pioneer in tne
great: task of: opening up these
districts to: further expioitation |
and. improvements. ‘but. the. man

who. takes. his: life - -in his: -hands,.

eats.as a tramp and sleeps where
night happens to overtake him as
he forges: deeper and deeper into
the wilds? we 5 be ce ean
One: writer: ‘in the. Press 1 goes
into figures: and states his opinion
of a prospector’ s right remuner-
ation” thus: “For one.- year... his

expenses. are: “say $1000, “outfit'|
$500, time at B4e a day, . caleulat- .
ing all ‘discoveries, j in” which. ‘he :
has one- half - interest. ”

being the ;

bonanza’ that forever. lies. “just
ahead, . but he would doubtless
welcome. the indirect : assistance.
from; the federal and state gov-
ernmerits whieh i is. his due;

These governments could. and -

should aid him indirectly: as they —

are now: aiding the. ‘agricultural .
prospector: in ‘this and in many
other couritries, ‘with: -free seeds, .
good roads, “rural credits, « ete. a.
The. mineral - prospector: wants ©
improved roads, more and better |
trails, free assays, abolition’ of”
