THE MINES.

dav. Earnest work in prospecting IS
time well spent and crazy efforts at loca-
ting every piece OF ground, Is time
wasted and injury to the camp. Ten
days is in reality "a short tine for enc
man to prospect one ciaim, to tilni out il
there is anything on a "trip OF ground,
and ii there is where II SHOWS up best 80
he can open it up a little. IL Is disgust
ing and disconraging to run against
monuments wherever you set your foot
and then TO 90 over the ground and hnd
that it has never been touched by pick
or shovel. Some land grabber has hogged
it simply because it Is Ia the district and
possibly next TO some fellows holdings
who is trying to do something. Chasing
about the hills fom Gay to day and week
to week, locating everything that looks
like a rock and having ones name IN
thirty locations, viii choke the life out
of the camp ii il can be cliokcd.
In view OF what has been shown up
do not blame people Tor getting excited
but simple excitement will not bring 'nt
the camp. Find Il ledge and go to work
on it aud be able TO show visitors sone-
thing besides monuments. They can
see piles Of country rock coming here
and going away. What they want to
see when they get to Olinghouse Canyon
IS ore. Uncle Sam does not give yoa
mineral land for nothing and he does
not allow you simply to pile up stone
monuments on the ground and then call
it yours. The State says you cannot
have a mining claim until You 10 work
bv shaft or cut at least ten feet. And ii
you cannot do this work within ninety
DAYS your claim is void. AID ii you
cannot do it at all why keep out men
who AN? The dog-in-the-n,anger bust
ness is frowned upon by all civilization.
Stand from under and give liberal mel
a show. They ouly want n small piece
of the earth because they know il ls all,
if moi more, than they can work. II YOU
want to give the camp u show Stop local
ting and grab a pick and shovel and I'M
cover one ledge. Where there are n
dozen men in Olinghouse Can,oa now,
there would be half a hundred were it
not for the grabbers. Get 10 work and
show ore piled up ready for the mill.
The homely philosopher says whether
You fight or work, don't make much
fuss. The hen cackles after she has laid
the egg. The noise and silaie oi II loco
motive are not force. All force is silent.
