THE PRosPEcToR OF TO-DAY

The prospector of today in his best
type must be something of a student
as we'll as very much a woodsman and
mountaineer says a writer In one OF the
national weeklies. The wider his
knowledge in geology and in assaying
the better his chances of success. In
addition to this he must be man OF
sound Judgment, not disposed to lose
his head or to waste time and money
locating worthless claims, which have
produced rather few glittering spec
linens than a large body of workable
ore
The profession, has, perhaps, lost
little of it's original glamour of risk
and excitement. In the early days IN
California, Idaho, Montana and British
Columbia. when men were hunting out
the rich placers all through the noun
tains, the prospector and the miner
were pretty much one. The country
needed fighting men in those days and
had them. The solitary adventures or
the band of followers might need to
fight Indians and other mauderers They
lived in part upon the wild game OF
the country and in part upon supplies
packed in at incredible expense from
distant supply points. They took mil
lions and millions Of dollars out Of the
placers which they discovered all
through the mountains and they did
this without the exercise Of much skill
or Judgment Their profession ", $ In
its infancy and placer gold was its
main quest. Gold had been discovered
by accident in California, and IN the
search for other gold fields each man
had almost as much education as his
neighbor They hunted out the beds
Of waterways and learned to sink to
bedrock for the heavy particles of
gold. They learned that the flats back
Of an abrupt bend in a rockbound
stream, where the waters originally had
eddied, made natural settling ground
for the precious metal. Later on they
learned to follow, by shaft or tunnel,

which had sometimes been filed up
with basaltie or other formation ages

earlier. They did not much care for
quartz in those earlier days; and the
profession of prospecting as well as
that of mining, was one made up of
loose education and good or bad luck
in it's pursuit. Such methods have
been in part followed by men who have
combed out the subArctic country of
the North, the rough mountains OF
South America or the half desert waste
Of Australia. 1t is they who have es
tablished the maxim that gold is where
you find it. Certainly they have found
it in all sorts of impossible places and
all sorts of geological formations.
Those methods, however, were those
of adventuring and not those of bust
ness. The prospector of today would
not knowingly evade a good placer, nor
would he fee from a free gold PROPOSE
tion in quartz; but his business is that

ious or semiprecious metals. When he
has found his deposit he cannot wash
it out and carry it away in buckskin.
bag. On the contrary, he must ar
range to carry in the heaviest Of min
ing machinery, often over remote and
expensive trails. He must know about
transportation as well as about geology
must be part engineer and part pros
pector. It is his business to locate only
such properties as can be handled profit
ably under existing conditions. The
average man who buys mining stock
has not the slightest idea Of what q
mine really is, but the true prospector
today must know the full meaning of
that term if he is to succeed in his own
business
Mining is wholly different from any
commercial business, which has fixed
overhead charges and a reasonable
turnover of the capital invested with
computable expenses in advertising,
distribution, etc. Five per cent turned
over in mercantile business, may be
reasonable profit. Twice that percent
age may be very bad business in q
mine. A million dollar a-year mine is
not a en-million dollar business invest

DISFRANCHISENENT
OF. the Negro is the Object of
a Bill by Georgia
Congressman.

WlAaAaNGnoN, d. C., April IA
Representative Hardwicil, Of Georgia,
today introduced bill providing for
The Acknowledgement of the negro.
He proposes following It with an
amendment to the constitution to be
submitted to the state legislatures for
ratification. namely: That the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United states be, and the same
is hereby repealed"
A bill was introduced in the House
later by Hardwick providing for
the repeal of the amendment.
The measure seeks to prevent
Congress from limiting the repre-
.sentation of southern states because
of disfranchisement of the negro,
which curtails the voting population
of those states.
