MINER, ENGINEER
AND PROSPfCTOR
Some Characteristics f
SentiaI TO Success in
n)S3 Ca|IingS.

There Is no vocation in life that
calls for more individuality, indie
pendence Of character, ingenuity, and
often courage, tha n the life Of the
mining engineer, miner an! pros.
pector. In many other bust nesses
the man going into them drops into "A
groove, you turn the handle and the
wheels go round, and he Is one of the
wheels and a part of the machinery /;
but not so with the mining engineer,
miner and prospector. There isn't a
regular, fixed, stereotyped. conven-
tional way Of managing or doing any
thing particular In mine. an ore
deposit or IA prospect, especially in
the west Constant Ingenuity,
originality aud adaptability to every
new recurring circumstance Is de
manded. This Is particularly the
case when the egineer or prospector
goes into new untrodden or foreign
region Here he IL thrown abso.
lutely on himself and his own
judgment. personal ingenuity and
adaptability to circumstances; judg-
ment is constantly called for aud is
constantly being educated. Take for
example a mining engineer or pros
pector going down into old Mexico.
The first thing that cunfronts him IL
new and foreign people Of wholly
different ideas. modes, feelings,
manners and associations and langu-
ages How Is he to meet and deal
with these? They know the ropes,
he doesn't; he has to learn them. At
first he may be at their mercy and at
first he makes mistakes after MISTAKES
until he, too. knows the ropes and
knows how to deal with them. At
first. as superior being, 1t may be.
from superior civilization, that
knows nothing about dynamite,
assassination and labor outraHes and
murder, ETC., he ma! look down on
them and their ways as far beneath
him; but soon he learns that he
may learn something from them; that
many of thier ways and modes are the
natural outcome of long aud enforced
experience.
Take some of the Mexican ways of
mining aud ore treatment; although
we may vastly improve on them any Of
them were and are peculiarly we'll
adapted to the conditions of the
country. We have heard, for ex.
ample, of certain property in that
region where first class Fraser Il
Chalmers stamp mill WAS rusting In
the trees, whilst the Patro process
was in full blast. Never let us de-
spise nation or their modes and
ways until we have found out what
led up to those ways and modes.
Put ourselves In their place and see
II We would have done any better.
As regards personal self reliance and
ingenuity and adaptability, these are
essnetials to any young engineer or
prospector going into new country.
His head may be we'll stored with all
the learning of the schools and all
the correct ways, means and pro-
cesses, and this as all right; but he
has to adapt them to his new environ
ment. Here he IL, alone in the
