Castle instructed Consul kehl to give
Bergdoll passport only to the United
States. and to notify the United States
and to inform the department If and
when he sailed for these shores. The
general impression among officials
here is that Bergdoll may have wanted
the passport to travel as an American
citizen in Europe or other foreign
cline, and has no intention of making
an early trip to the United States In
view Of the announced intention Of
the War Department to prosecute him
for past offenses, whenever possible.
AS a rule the State Department does
not grant passports to fugitives from
Justice or persons under indictment,
except to facilitate their return to the
United States for trial. Until recent
years American citizens abroad re-
quired passports to the United States,
but that requirement has been
abrogated.

ARE PROSPECTORS INDIGENTS?

Senate bill No. introduced by Senators Dunn and Brown avowedy for the purpose of extending aid to prospectors will hardly be received by the genuine pros pector with relish In all mining countries the pros bill before the Senate would make him mendicant and object of charity something the knights of the pan and prospectors' pick will resent.
 And one must agree with him that prospecting has not reached the low ebb of human endeavor to become last resort for financial failures and must be sustained by does from the public treasury under this sort of alias
 There is why a prospector should have free transportation and other emouments than any else Few if any real prospectors would smother their pride and accept this act of charity Those who would could hardly claim the right to stand among that great fraternity of free spirits whose members refuse to yield their hope of reward from individual efforts rather than accept days pay job.
 Walk up to the average prospector and offer him a vedoar note "to help him along and like not he will spoil good pickhande your hear He is not in the habit of accepting ams and he will pay his at the trading post just as he has something he has wooed from Mother Earth with which to pay.
 The bill asks for $2OOO0 to dole out in the form of free transportation It would appear logical for the Legislature if it really desires to aid mining the funds suggested in calculated to bring the prospector and investing capital into closer touch There many ways this could be done It would guarantee genuine aid to prospecting and business than all the does that may be issued in whatever gse It would be easy for the Legislature to establish publicity fund to be apportioned pro rata basis among the commun ties which supplied like amount and using the entire sum, call the attention of capital to the natural mineral in terms which could be understood and not in generalltles.
 The prospector needs investing capital more than anything else He will find the values. He is not pro- moter he seek capital while following his calling Bring him into touch with this capital and mining will receive stimulus never before experienced.
 But don't insult him by offering him charity
