THE PRospEcToR.
Still Plays an Essential Part in Min
ing industry.
Denver Mining Record)

Denver Mining Record)
In recent times the old time pros
pector has been considered a back
number who has largely outlived his
usefulness, and is out of place among
modern surroundings. Now, however,
his Importance is beginning to be bet
ter realized than ever before, and he is
again the fashion.
Modern machinery and modern ore
treatment methods are resulting in in
tensive mining, which shortens the
lives of the mines. AS consequence,
far-sighted men are pointing to the
urgent need for a greater amount of
prospecting and the opening Of new
producing properties.
There is only one way in which gold
and other mineral deposits are to be
found, and that Is to search for them.
This clearly is the logical task of the
prospector and he should be encour-
aged to put forth his best efforts in
the exploration for additional mining
fields, and in being adequately re-
warded for his discoveries
1t is singular as tending to show
the ignorance or lack of judgment on
the part of government legislators,
that in practically no country where
metal mining is one of the important
industries, have laws been passed that
properly protect or sufficiently en-
courage the prospector. Instead, the
laws often are restrictive in their gen.
eral attitude toward mining and PEN
alize where they should reward.
| However, the prospector has refus-
ed and still refuses to be doWned. He
continues to trudge over the hills, usu-
ally accompanied by his trusty burro,
in search of bonanza claim that he
invariably feels certain he shall find.
And very often his most respondent
dreams of wealth come true. He 1t Is
who discovered practically all Of the
mines that now are making their OPP
orators rich; and to him the world is
indebted for the discovery of it's most
profitable mineral areas. He is en-
titled to liberal legislative recognition;
and, as producing mines grow fewer,
while the metal demand grows larger,
he may be able to demand, not merely
ask, for better treatment.

1t was Mark Twain who tells the
story of the man who traded twenty
feet in the Ophir for an Indifferent
saddle horse and then saw the stock
go to $4,000 a foot and who used to
say that he rode a 100000 horse but
couldn't raise the money to buy
saddle. Those were the stirring and
colorful days of silver mining in our
west, when nabobs We're created, when
1t costs 5000 ton to freight supplies,
when nobody turned his head at the
report of pistol and when silver oc-
cupied mems minds like a passion.

silver has come from Mexico, the
United States, Peru, Bolivia and Aus
tralia; and within recent times Canada
has added to this production store of
remarkably pure silver from mines of
incalculable richness. the Cobalt veins.
Vast riches have been lost to the
world in the way of mines forgotten or
destroyed by nature and man. In
Bolivia alone it is said that there are
10000 abandoned silver mines, but
there are still hundreds of mines ac-

Accused of killing Montana
Postmaster.

Park River, N. D., Jan. 2S.-Dr. Ca-l
o, Foss and his brother, Edwin o.
Foss, of Havre, Mont. have been ar
rested, charged with murder in the
first degree. Both are sons of Hon:
Andrew N. FOss, who for a number or
year represented Walsh county in the
state legislature, and who for several
years held the office of register or
deeds at Grafton.
Particulars of the AFFAIR are not at
hand, but the story goes that Edwin
D. Foss, aided and assisted by his
brother, DR.. Foss, made final home
stead proof upon a tract of govern
ment land in western Montana. some
time after the proof was made, an in
vestigation was instituted by q spe-
ciaI agent of the general landofhce to
ascertain if the proof was genuine,
and in accordance with the truth. IL
is alleged that a local postmaster IN
the vicinity of the land interesteo
himself in the matter, AMI became
very active in endeavoring to obtain
and furnish evidence to show that the
homestead proof was fraudulent.
One day shortly afterwards We
postmaster was standing in his posi-
office asserting mail, when he was
suddenly and instantly killed by a.
bullet fired into the office through a
window, For some time the killing
was a completes mystery. The post
master was a prominent member or g

steps to have detectives look into ths
matter. When the detectives made
their reports, warrants for arrest
were issued for the Foss brothers.
DR.. Foss, who is married to a prom
inent young woman, formerly Miss Alta
Currie, of Park River, has been en-
gagged in the practice of his profession
at Havre for some time.
DR. Foss, who is graduate of the
Park River high school, gained
great deal of notoriety a couple of
years ago when he went to France to
enter the British army as surgeon,
and went over on the Inflated Lusi-
tania, when she was sunk by a Ger
man U-boat. The doctor was a good
swimmer and was rescued.
