inaccessible creeks, has been surveyed
by the topographer and mapped by
the geologist. To find virgin territory
the explorer must travel northwest
ward. or else choose those tracts over
which search has been made for only
one or two out of the many metals
valuable to man. To succeed he must
have not the sophisticated mind OF the
modern expert, who knows only how
to estimate the ore that has been prov
ed, but the optimism that never grows
old, mounting to an inyincible assur-
ance that the find is not far ahead.
That spirit was typified by the old
prospector and his burro, by the store
keeper that grubstaked him, and by
the assayer that tested his samples as
against payment when the lucky strike
was made. Yes; we miss that phase
of mining; perhaps because we live
so much in cities. But somewhere in
the hills, in the frontier settlements,
the old scenes are still repeated, and
the inexpugnable hopefulness of the
mineral explorer Is in play as in days
gone by. Pap Brenegan's burro is

Yet, he ought to be cherished by thosc

out of sentiment merely but as an es-

The news that the Twenty eighth
Austrian infantry regiment has been
sentenced by the emperor to be
"disbanded for all eternity and exclu-
ded forever from the army for coward
ice and high treason in face of the
enemy" is a reminder that much more
to be inflicted upon regiments guilty
of similar offenses.
Defamation, for instance--that is,
the shooting of every tenth man selee-
ted at haphazard-was in vogue in
both the Austrian and Russian armies
up till about 70 years ago; and the
British BLACK Watch" was once tried
en- bloc by court martial for mutiny
and desertion, and sentenced to death,
the penalty being afterward copmuted,
except in the case of three ringleaders,
who were executed.

CHARLES P. RICHARDSON,
Kitselas, B. c., August rs

The foregoing letter drew out the
following editorial in the same issue
of the Mining and Scientific Press:
Our article on 1.-The Amateur Miner
who wanted to get into mining and
did not know how, has elected some
Interesting discussion. In this issue
we publish a good straight letter from
one who represents the old-time pros
pector For the purpose of argument,
1t may be granted that we stand
somewhere between him and the anna
lteur In the main, we represent the
engineer, that Is, the man who applies
modern science to the ancient art OF
mining. However, we have broken
bread with the prospector; we have
shared his blankets; to us he Is
man and brother. We like to hear
from him, and we listen to him with
sympathy. Therefore
we appreciate Mr.. Richardson's pro-
test against the engineer who tries to
value a mine with slid rule and a
tape line. Have we not protested
against the attempt to appraise mines
on an investment basis? Mining is
fundamentally speculative, and risk is
the essence of it. Imagination is
needed and courage. Also some sort
of instinct, based partly on inherited
Qualities, partly on experience, partly
on keen powers of observation. That
might seem too flattering to Johnny
Cone or Pap Brenegan, but 1t is the
complex of aptitudes that made them
great seekers and finders of mines, as
related by their friend, Mr.. Richard
son. He says they wandered over the
hills looking for, not forninst, mines"
Presumably the gentleman with the
slide rule represented the forninst
idea. Probably he did. Mines are not
discovered by formula, any more than
great men are bred from ordinary ba-
bies by an elaboration of scientific
nourishment The tendency to put
money into developed mines, thinking
thereby to diminish adverse chances,
has tended to check the adventurous
effort on which mining is nourished
We like the man who would turn
down the Little Tinker cold" on an ex-
for a client but would be
willing to risk his own money on the
same prospect. Perhaps that is what
is the matter; the decrease in the
of those willing to put their
own money into small ventures-the |

NO STRAIN AFTER ECCENTRIC EFFECTS.
The color schemes which are interesting mil
liners this season are very lovely. The dress
artists of to-day do not strain after eccentric
effects; they strive-and with much success
to create models which will enhance the nat
ural beauty of the wearers. And surely this is
as it should be. If gowns and hats do not add
charm here. and coquettish fascination there,
of what use are they? It is not merely enough
that we should be clothed: our intelligence de-
mands that we should be clothed becomingly.
l never remember a season in which the mil
linery models were so charming as this win
ter. And in addition to this they are not at all
extravagant, either in outline or price.

The best Paris milliners make point OF in

and picture hats when possible. Indeed, fur IS
running feather trimming very close in the
race for popular favor. All sorts of short
haired furs are used, and the latest idea, as
indicated in a recent article is the introduction
of silky monkey fur as millinery trimming.

Burgundy red is one of the most popular
colors of the present winter. This rich shade

splendid when combined with musquash
