AMERICA'S OLD
PROSPECTOR
A Writers Description of Some
of Our Most Optimistic
Citizens.
The following tribute to the American
pro8K'ctor was written by a party who
signes himself "Double Jack," and
whose address is given as Dillon, Wy
oming. It is said that over four millions of
the human race are actually engaged iu
mining. l'robably one-half ot this
number are in the United Slates, while
in the western States, including Alaska,
are the greater part of these.
Mexico ami Canada are great mining
tields, and prospectors and miners of
the Trans-Mississippi states make little
distinction to the country in which
they find ore; but the United States is
given the preference, largely because of
the mining laws and treatment and
traiisHirtatiuu facilities.
In this country the government is
generous to the prospector, and holds
especially for him and his occupation
millions of acres of laud. This land is
given to him in blocks of a few acres
and no restriction is placed as to the
number of blocks one may hold, so long
a he takes care of what is given him by
annually improving and developing
it.
The territory allotted to the miner in
the western states is, as a rule, in the
mountain regions, but ho is also given
wide areas in the lowlands, and a num
ber of deserts are put aside for him
where he often does well and produces
oven great wealth from the sands. In
short, his favored domain may be said
to extend from Alaska to far beyond the
Itio Grande, and ho makes small choice
between polar bears and tarantulas.
Taken as a class the miner is probably
the most optimistic of all the American
citizens not even excepting the
gambler. Life to him is a million dol
lar prt)osition and money making is not
of slowly earning and saving, but of
finding a life fortune all in a heap. The
dream of wealth is not a periodic
mental freak, but an abiding, ever-present
psycological condition ; and disap
pointment only serves to brighten the
dream.
It is this abiding consciousness of be
ing destined to find wealth that streng
thens the prospector to endure more
trying hardships than belong to the
lives of citizens of any other occupation.
It is this will-o-the-wisp that leads him
cheerfully through privations which
would causo the averago easterner to
give up the struggle even in its begin
ing. In short, the old time "hard-shelled"
prosector seems rather to court hard
ships, and the country that presents the
most stubborn obstacles is the one where
he seems to be most at home and most
in hopes.
To MimOwurs and Prosptitirs
If you have a meritorious mine
or prosiiect, and are not yourself a
capitalist, you can, by co-operating
with others similarly situated, sell
your property in half the time and
for double the money that you
could get by your individual efforts.
