THE MINING FIELD
PEcuLiARTiEs OF PRosPEcroRs,

story with the prospector and miner. particularly of early days. The years of toll and hardships with the pack burro on the deserts and mountains left them with little knowledge of the world. When wealth came suddenly upon them they kenw not how to take care of their money. During the days of privation the saloon keeper had given them the glad hand" and when fortune smiled they naturally went first to their old friends. The saloon man and gambler would show them a good time" and so it went.
 A story is told of and old Irish pros pector who struck it rich in Colorado. Someone asked him: Pat, what are you going to do with your money?' Pats reply was: The first thing I'm goin' to do is to buy a carload of canned peaches; I never had as many as [ could ate in me life.'
 Aonther one being asked the same question, replied: The first thing am going to do is, I am going all the way to Ney York to Delmonico's and give fifty dollar order of ham an1 eggs and I am going to eat them all before I stop"
 A prominent civil engineer in Los Angeles relates this experience with one of his class in the early days of Arizona: There was aii old pros pector of the town whom l would grub stake. He was always finding some thing which he would sell for a few hundred dollars. He would then come in, divide up with me. and have I good time until his last dollar was gone. Then he came for another gruo stake. l finally got tired of it an1 quit. He got someone else to put up for him, and he struck this time sure enough. He sold out for sS5. 900, and divided up with his partner. His $42, 800 lasted about six months One of his favorite pastimes was to get drunk and pull out a handful or dollars and sometimes s20 pieces and throw them into the streets and say to the loungers, Go for it. boys" with the utmost enjoyment: there's plenty more in mother earth; and all I've got to do is go and find it.
 Stories by the hundreds could be 0l nf ho squandered their money in riotous living. Things have changed in these times, but that species of prospector is not entirely extinct yet.-Lnterna- tional
 The ownership of a mining claim of individual interests by two people does not make them partners. Part nership is matter of agreement. Co-owners, by an agreement, can form a mining partnership. If A as a CO., owner bonds his half interest in mining claim without considera- tion that is his affair, The action of A does not hinder B, who owns the other undivided half interest for consideration, irrespective of the na- ture of the consideration, whether money or its equivalent in assessment work. the whole of it belongs to B, and he is not compelled to divide i: with A. If the consideration was fif- teen days work, estimated to be half the amount required, it all ensures t1 B's benefit, and A must perform the other half. The other half must be performed, too, otherwise the location becomes forfeit-Ex,
