The Modern PrOspector.

The miner or prospector who
makes himself acquainted with
the results of the study and ex-
periences OF others in matters
pertaining to his work, stands a
far better chance of success than
one who tries to depend on his
own experience alone. His own
experience and observation
should not be belittled, but he is
making a grave mistake, who
thinks his own experience has
taught him all there is to know.
The notion that the practical"
man, who got his knowledge in
the field, is the most reliable is
a fallacy. 1t is also a mistake
to suppose that the man who
got all his knowledgefrom books
is the more competent. In fact,
he is almost sure to be less so.
1t is the man who has combined
practical experience with the
study OF the work of others along
his line, who stand the bestchance
of coming out on top. The fact
that many field-made prospect
ors and miners have stumbled

is pestilence walking in darkness,
spreading contagion far and wide
which the most weary traveller
cannot avoid; it is the poisoned
arrow whose wounds are incur
able; it is the immortal sting of
the deadly adder. The man who
breaks into my dwelling, ormeets
me in the public road and robs
me OF my property, does me in
jury. He stops me on the way to
wealth; he strips me of my hard
earned savings, involves me in
difficulty and brings my family
to want. But he does me an in
jury that can be repaired. In
dustry and economy may bring
me into circumstances of ease
and affiuence. Butthe man who
who circulates false reports con-
corning my character, who ex-
poses every act OF my life, which
may be presented to my disad-
vantage; who goes to this, then
to that individual, tells them he
is very tender OF my reputation,
enjoins upon them strictest Sc
crecy, and then fills their ears
with hearsays and rumors, and,
what is worse, leaves them to
dwell upon hints and suggestions

Opening of Canal Pacific
Ocean Event.

1t is fitting that the Western
States should support San Fran
cisco's claims as the proper site
for holding celebration in honor
OF the opening Of the Panama
canal. San Francisco is the great
seaport of Pacific-America, the
avenue ofcommerce over the vast
Pacific Ocean, and the recognized
terminal of the Panama Isthmi-
an route from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Putting aside the rela-
tive value of the Panama canal
to any one part of the world, as
1t IS sure to prove ofnearly equal
value to all, the real considera-
tlon lies in the fact that nearly
one-half OF the human race live
IN countries bordering on the Pa
clfic Ocean, and the opening of
this new door to the Pacific and
front door to the world, is dis
tinctly Pacific Ocean event.
Said William III. Seward in 1852.
before there was a railway or
telegraph on any Pacific sea-
board or a line of steamships or
any regular commerce with the
Orlent-while Alaska was vet an
unknown frozen land, and Japan
and China, save for a few ports
forced open to commerce, sealed
to entrance and wrapped in bar
barrie conceit, and Australia was
still the land of the black bush
man: "Henceforth European
commerce, European politics,
European thoughtand European
activity, although actually gain
ing force and European connec-
tions, although actually becom-
ing more intimate, will neverthe-
less relatively sink in Importance
while the Pacific Ocean-its
shores, it's islands, and the vast
region beyond-will become the
chief theater OF events in the
worlds great hereafter"
The new resourceful, virile West,
facing the Pacific Ocean, is the
most vital portion of the world
today, attracting by it's resources
and wonderful opportunities the
energies that stand for progress.

upon fortunes is no proof that
this training is all that is needed
to insure success. The need of q
broad and thorough training for
those who hope to make a sue
cess OF mining is daily becoming
greater.
The prospector who has agood
working knowledge of geology,
mineralogy and chemistry, coup
led with enough experience and
Judgment to understand their
practical application in the
search for commercial ores, has
open to him many opportunities
for making important finds that
would pass unnoticed by the
more poorly equipped man.
High-grade outcrops are not
the only indications that may
point to the existence of ore boz
dies that may be developed into
valuable mines. Now that low
grade ores can often be mined at
a profit, the search for large boz
dies is an important branch OF
prospecting that requires CON
siderable knowledge of geology.
A Acknowledge of mineralogy and
enough analytical chemistry to
identity minerals and test their
composition is a valuable acqui-
sition for the prospector since
the number of commercially val
liable minerals is being increased
by the finding ofnew applications
for many of the so-called rare
elements and others that are not
so rare. Cases are on record
where valuable mineral has been
thrown ON the dump simply be-
cause its identity was not recog-
nized. Many a fortune has been
camped upon by prospectors who
were not able to recognize the
value of the mineral.
This is an advanced age and
the great successes are to be
made by advanced men-the men
who study and profit by the ex-
periences OF others, no less in
mining than in other callings.-

Certainly II seems like carrying

Ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every

The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal In quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
