heyoud one's depth iu reference to
tbe Thunder Mountain district. A
certain noted writer on political and
social (piestions made a visit to that
camp ahout a year no and described
In a Kraphiu manner the conditiona
and iiiospectH of the camp visited.
His article wiih printed iu a lending
weekly and later tcatleied liroadciist
as an advertisement of certniii of tho
properties which were uiveu a goldou
touch from his tluent pen. To the
experienced or practical man these
dcfcriptlniiH are of no value what
ever, as they hear on their tace the
evidence of their own Insutllcieucy hh
a competent opinion on a in in Inn
property. So, too, predicts, doctora
aud reporter!) are all culled to hear
wituetn to things they do uot under
stand ahout tnlnliiK, aud sumo are
misled, while the competent judges
are only amused or perhaps dlsmisted.
So we say if you want a man to write
', ahout your inluuu property, net one
that knows ahout the subject. You
would not select a law j or to amputate
I your lett. notwithstauilluK that ho
' may he able and learned in bis Hue,
'.So, too, the lay journalist is not u
competent writer 'on technical aud
ininiiiK matters ordinarily.
