Credit Due to the Ants.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
To the immortals in the Hall Of
Fame of Mining, including the patient
burro, who discovered the silver in
the occur d'Alenes. and the veteran
mule responsible for the location Of
the Silver King mine. in Arizona. to-
gether with the busy little hen with
nuggets in her crop, and the gray
goose with its gu1let full OF gold
sand, must be added another repre-
sentative Of the animal kingdom. In
an interesting book. by-John NAIVE,
an English mineralogist. recounting
travel observations in Brasil, made In
1910, is recorded the discovery Of gold
In one of the then important districts
In the state Of Minas Geraes. in which
the busy little ants played important
parts He says:
"Some negroes employed In clear
ing the lands broke up an ant hill OF
considerable size. when. upon laying
II open to the air. for the purpose OF
destroying or dispensing the insects.
large grains Of gold were found"
Future historians Of mining will
please take note Of the above and
distribute the credit and glory OF the
discovery of. the worlds precious
