The PrOspectOr.


prospectors. There are those
who have followed the calling of
the prospector for years. They
strike a good thing
which they partially develop and
sell out. They prospect for the
love of the business, and seem to
be happy only when with burro,
or old gray mare, loaded down
with blankets, pick, pan and
shovel grub" they roam over
mountains in search of something
good-something that will fetch
them a "homestake" or enough
to go to their native heath and
dream away the rest of their
lives. They seldom or never
realize the fruition of their
hopes. They are prospectors
still. No climate is too torrid,
none too frigid to deter them
from taking their chances in the
stampede" The farther off
the country the more alluring
the prospect appears, distance
seems to lend enchantment to
their view.
Then again there are prospec-
tors who engage in the work
from the force of circumstances.
They camp with the first pros
pect they come across and make
or break by it. They don't last
long. If it is a bonanza they have
struck they realize what they
can out of it and return to pleas
anter fields of labor. At all
events they quit the business and
and follow some other callings.
Mountain trails know them no
more forever. In the early days
they were called summer pros
pectors," for they hugged the
warm stoves rather than a cold
blanket on frosty ground. They
may have been wise in so doing,
as far as their personal comfort
was concerned. But they never
founded new mining camps, never
opened new mining sections, nor
called new mining territories OF
states into existence. The sum
