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. ” The prospeetor’ i ds to receive no

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.
