Stresses Dangers
Of Generalization

It Is not intended to question
the validity OF any Of the theo-
ries that have been mentioned,
but their limitations have not
been properly emphasized BY their
proponents and the writer has on
several occasions found ore in
mines which had been condemned
because the mines in question
had failed to fit the prsconceavad

In the history Of every largf
mining company. there comes
day when tie spectre Of depletion
stalks acroas the board room
floor and the officers OF the COM
pany decide 10 undertake an ex-
ploratson campaign. The writer
has participated 10 two such cam.
paigns. has observed several 9th
ers ct close range. and has had
gflmpses OF many more. All Of
them have failed; some through
timidity. others due to disastrous
rsckiessness; none OF them have
been well balanced nor quite
sane.
Should any reader Of this ar
ticie be aware Of a successful
exploration camapign, a descrip-
ton Of lts Organization and meth
DDS would be 9 distinct contrtbu-
ton to professional literature.
The fact remains, however, that
failures have been far more
numerous than successes and in
the paragraphs which follow an
attempt viii be made to point
out some OF the causes OF these
failures in the hope that q clearer
perception of them may make
their avoidance more easy and
thus increase the probability OF
future success.

Nose For Ore" Is
Asset In Search

It Is true, I believe that &C
tual mining develops both hope
and imagination in men who fol
low 1t and the fusion Of these
two qualities which slowly takes
place In men during years spent
in fighting for ore in mines is
what we describe as "a nose for
ore" To my mind, the young
geologist and the young engineer,
through no fault of their own.
are conspicuously lacking in this
valuaIble type OF intuition.
They lack 1t because years
must be spent in the daily strug-
gle Of mining and finding ore to
develop this qualification. with
out q nose for ore. it is useless
to look at a small mine and try
to divine whether or not It will
some day become a large one.
Mining companies err, therefore.
firstly, In defining the objective
OF their exploration campaigns
and. secondly, In Understanding
the difficulties which those cam
paigns involve and entrusting
their execution to eager young
specialists rather than to men
who have been seasoned by &C
tuai mining experience. No one
who has not operated mines sue
should be chosen to look
TOR new ones.

When q large mining company
undertakes an exploration cam

Of biologists and mining engi-
neers. one would surmise that
success. il possible at all, would
be inevitable. The company Is in
the mining business. II can con-
tribute adequate resources to any
venture 1t may choose to conduct,
the staff In charge of
its exploration campaign is uni

Tradition Blamed
For Many Errors

Il is, believe. true that the
mental equipment Of the mining
geOlogist and, to a Lesser degree,
the mining engineer initiates
against his success in finding
mines. There is too much ira
dition and too much fiat in his
university training.
For centuries IN Mexico and
for decades during the past CEN
fury in our own West, mines

Obsolete Methods
Guide Work Today

It was during this period that
the technique OF mine examina-
tion which is stilI, unfortunately
being taught in our mining
schools, was developed. Briefly
a mining report was supposed to
contain data covering location,
accessibility, ownership. titles.
history, transportation, power re-
sources and very many 9TH
or items an estimate OF ton
mage based on sample maps.
Such a scheme for reporting a
mine examination fitted the con-
ditlons that obtained 20 years
ago but although the method Of
reporting is still in general use.
1t has become obsolete for the
simple reason that conditions
have changed.
No large mines are for
sale today that contain ore
OF ecOnomic grade in eco
monte quantity. Neverthe-
less, the majority Of econo-
mic geOIogists engaged in ex-
pIoration work still adhere
to the old formula and q
tremendous amount OF time
Is wasted in filling its Pig
eon-holes with useless data.

FALLS PRISON
Term TO END
NEXT SUNDAY
Harding Cabinet Member
Has Been Model Convict
Say New Mexico Officials.

BIZ United Prcss
WASHINGTON, May ALBERT
B. Fall on May will complete his
prison term for accepting a 500. 900
bride while secretary of the in
terror under President Harding.
Fall is serving a sentence of a
year and a day in the New Mexico
state penitentiary at Santa Fe. He
began his servitude July 20. 1891.
Good behavior has reduced his SEN
tence by two months and twelve
DAYS.
Justice department officials said
Fall has been a model prisoner,
and. unless some unexpected COM
plications arise, the elderly. stoop-
shouldered New Mexican will jour-
ney home to his family next Sun
day.
Won't Pay 100000 Fine
Fall was convicted in November,
1929. of accepting bride from Ed
ward L. Doheny in exchange for a
lease on the Elk Hills (Cal) naval
oil reserve.
Falls sentence carried, in addi-
ton to the prison term. fine of
100000. He is expected TO sign n
paupers cath, stating that he can
not pay the fine. officials said this
procedure would not cause him to
serve an additional thirty days.
During his term at the Santa Fe
institution. rumors have been cur
rent that Fall was accorded special
privileges. Federal parole officials
after careful investigation denied
such charges.
He was given whisky, but this was
prescribed by physicians. Fall is II
and has been in i'll health.
Parole Was Denied
Fall became eligible for parole last
Nov. 20 and applied for release. The
parole board in unanimously DENY
ing the parole on Feb. 2 said:
Parole issuance would be uniusti-
able and incompatible with the well
fare OF society. Fall was found guilty
Of betraying the trust of high office.
Corruption of public trust in high
places. acts akin to treason. and af-
fecting the entire nation can not be
tolera 4 or condoned."

 Two men are working the old Dick Creek ground on upper Cache and claim to have done fairly well. They are moving their plant in preparation for the next seasons work
 The Peters Creek Co.,, who have been working the Carlson ground on lower Peters Creek, have report ed that they have had several very nice cleanupS. They are more than likely top men on production for the camp this year.
 Henry Peters is ground sluicing on his ground about a mile above the lower Canyon on Peters Creek.
 Frank Jenkins is working on Lit tie Willow Creek and is supposed to have about two years more work there.
 A man by the name of Wagner has bought the old Haryer ground on upper Peters Creek from H. w. Nagley also the Gadegon ground Cn Bird Creek and expects to work next season.
 The Alaska Road Commission has had a crew working all season on the road to Cache Creek and this fall they have been working on the Peters Creek trail. They are figuring on improving the road around Peters Creek Canyon so that it will be possible to get a cat in there.
 Any person who figures on going into Cache Creek country, looking for work, had better line up his job before he goes in there as there are very few men hired any more. Murray and Harper have six min CTS and a cook and Peters Creek Co.,, have four miners and a cook. The men are usually hired over from year to year.

SEASONS ACTIVITIES
 CACHE. CREEK AREA
 INTERESTINGLY TOLD

By special correspondent from Cache Creek, Yentna District. Cache Creek had a wet season flood waters nearly all summer but no damage was done to any of the hydraulic outfits with the exception of John Kimball and Joe GalaSha on Falls Creek, who had their penstock washed out, causino several days loss of time.
 Murray and Hoyser shut down early as there was no ground left under their pipe line that was suit able to hydraulic. They have torn up their pipe line and are making preparations to work the Pineo Bar next year.
 Fred Dassell is ground sluicing on Cache and has had some nice cleanurs.
 Four new corners from the States worked just below the old dredge camp, ground sluicing. They made wages or a little better for their time.
 Al Wolf is on Thunder Creek, and while he is not doing so we'll this year, from all indications, next year will be better.
 John Kimball and Joe Galasha are on Fall Creek working a lease, and are supposed to have made good money.
 Matt Hamburg and Mike Tref- key are on Dollar Creek and have been working the Canyon; high water has caused them a little trouble.
 Joe Krumenacher is on Chechako Creek and has very nice crop of boulders. The ground is about 15 feet deep and contains fair values.
 Adolph Tarashi, on upper Cache Creek, is running a small hydraul- lc outfit The report is that he is not doing so well.
 George Anderson, the camps only quartz miner, has been spend- ing the season checking up on the ledge on the upper end of Nugget Creek.
 Nick Balabonoff came in late in the season and ground sluiced on upper Nugget. He lost his sluice boxes in one of the high water periods but managed to recover them about two miles down the
