THE DIFFERENCE.


In the Tombstone (Arizona,) daily
Nugget, we find the following articles
on the difference between mining and
prospecting:
"There is avast difference between
mining and prospecting. A good pros
pector is rarely good miner, and a
fStelass miner, one who understands
as the details IF his business, IS IS seldom
if ever, successful in searching for
mines. The former, without capital
or assistance plunges into the noun
tainS and there in the solitude of the
wilderness, often exposed to deadly
and unexpected dangers, patiently and
diligently seeks for such evidence of
mineral wealth as nature in her great
subterranean labratory may have drawn
to the surface. If he discovers, the
miner develops. He originates moth
ing; he seeks for gold and silver,
which, like truth, is always good,
whenever and by whatever means dis
covered. But mining is an art-we
often think by the ignorance display
ed-a lost art. 1t cannot be acquired
in month or year, for as the as
tronomer and scientist watches the
heavens, and by the velocity and d.
rection of the wind, the hues and
forms of the clouds, tell when and
where the storm will burst, and the
sunshine smile; so the experienced
miner delves in the depths Of the
earth, studies the color, the formation,
the texture Of the stone which sur
rounds him, and from the testimony
of the rocks" follows their silent di-
rections to unseen bonanzas. In every
country the matters of precisive metal
bearing ore differs. The same rule
will almost universally apply to differ
ent districts, and when this is consid-
cred, one may easily imagine the great
experience required to estimate with
any degree of correctness the probable
richness or extent of ore bodies. The
pathway over which he must pass to
meet his highest success is as yet prob
lematical and full of uncertainty. 1t
is study of lifetime, in which the
application is hard, unremitting phys
ical labor, in which no man Of ordl-
nary mental faculties will ever rise
pre-eminent. Our ablest mining men
were never prospectors, and yet to the
brave and hardy pioneer we owe the
great discoveries which has made the
Pacific coast the mineral treasure house
of the world, and to his energy, his
courage and perseverance we say 'all
hail."
There ought to be an effort to stop
the duplicating of names to mining
properties and companies. For in
stance; there are already several
Smuggler mines in Colorado, and there
is the Wheeler Consolidated Mining
Company, of Arizona, and another
company of the same name operating
at Aspen, Colorado.

HOW HE BECAME WEdLZHY

now HE BECAME VEAL 7HY
A little man was introduced to the
members Of the Mining Exchange, in
New York. the other day, and, from
the prompt and effectual manner in
which he operated, it was apparent
that he was immensely wealthy.
"You have been out in the mines, I
hear" saic one of kno: Of admirers,
who, though New Yorker, had es-
tablished some little reputation for
familiarity with far western slang.
eyes," responded the little man,
quietly; 81 spent some time in the
carbonate region" .
"Pretty old hand at dips and angles,
l take it," observed the questioner,
jocularly.
"Tve heard tell of 'em," replied
the little man.
Crooked the cradle for yellow a
good many turns, eh?" continued the
bore, with an Tll-fetch-him-out wink
at the crowd.
"No. They don't cradle now, they
crush," said the little man, uneasily.
"Hit it hard on spur and jerk
rock for the stamp; that's the way
they do it2'
"They take out the quartz and send
it to the MILL" replied the little man.
Wouldn't you like to 60 and flood
the lower level?" asked the amateur
mirer. "Want something to rinse
the valves?''
The little man consented, and the
crowd adjourned for wine.
"How'd you hook on to the dust,
grub-stake or straight prospect7" in
quired the bore after the party had
irrigated.
IL grub-staked until lost most Of
my money!" said the little man nerv
ously.
81 see. Then scanned for shine
on your own sleeve"
"No. The fact is, gentlemen, I'm
not miner, and never had an interest
in shaft"
"How'd you accumulate the buck
skins, if may ask3" pursued the
bore, somewhat amazed.
"It was this way: Some tender
feet had smiled on locket, and when
they came to reach for corn at the set
tie l was close to the bung. They
were oiled and had some split tick
cts. l gave them the circulars, and
when the wind shifted the best they
could languish under was three cook:
and a couple. Somehow | got hold
of the hair and let into the pull with
two dough faces and three sprats. |
let go dough face and caught the ad-
vertisement. They doubled on me
steady till l reached the lingering
speck, and then l lay down and soft
ened on the starlight. That's the way
l made my money. Good day, gen
tlemen."
Chow was it," chorused the crowd :.
turning to the bore for an explanation.
81 think he means that they died
and left him their property" replied
the domestic miner.
But he didn't. He meant that three
fats had struck it rich, and on deal
with a safety pack he had held four
aces against queen full and won all
the money in the outfit.
To crystalline it, gentle reader: He
was skin gambler.-Brookln Eeg.f

With the issue of the Irwin Elk
Mountain PILOT on the 9th inst, that
paper was one year old. Like the
Reuev the Pilot has had a hard
row to hoe," b.. it has weathered the
storm and is nov on a sound financial
basis. The Rfmev feels somewhat
proud, as no doubt the PILOT does,
over the fact that the two papers are
the only ones in Gunnison county that
have been running through the late
winter and have never missed single
issue.-Reuev
