II no other sufficient reason has

held from this kindly, romantic figure
one was given when Senator Pittman,
arguing against government owner
ship, development and control Of the
nations natural resources, said:
Il believe that you would have a
development of the minerals now in
sight, and you would never find any
more minerals that are lying hidden
under the ground. l think you would
drive away from the west the pros
pector, a peculiar individual that cir
cumstances have developed in that
country and without whom no mines
drive him to South America, to ST.
IBERIA, to China, to Africa, to every
where else where there is a reward
for individual suffering and initia-
tive"
1t may seem over inclusive for the
western senator to say that without
the prospector you will never find
any more minerals" and maybe had
he spoken with more considered
thought he would have restricted his
list of minerals to gold and silver or
even to gold alone.
Gold His Object.
The prospector hunts for gold. In
dry gravel over which rivers ran in
the dim past in the beds of living
streams, in lodges of gold bearing
quartz, gold, the visible palpable yell
low metal, is what he seeks He cares
little for gold in combination with
other metals; even in quartz he wants
gold that can be garnered by simple
ptocess-free or native gold, as he
calls it.
Your prospector is a lover of nature,

Of the Luck of Roaring Camp" but
he might have written thus of the
prospector: Mature was his nurse
and playfelow. For him she would
let slip between the leaves golden
shafts of sunlight; she would send
wandering breezes to visit him with
the balm of bay and resinous gum; to
him the tall woods nodded familiarly
and sleepily. the bumblebees buzzed
and the rocks cawed a slumberous &C.
The prospectors who discovered all
or nearly all the great mines of the
Sierras and the Rockies had no knowl-
