As\nfor the minors and prospectors we\nmet, their story' was' always the\nsame. It is'no use pr6speoting any\nmore round Rossland. Every bit\nof land is staked out all rouiid it\nand for a dozen utiles east of it.\nThere are splendid mines and prospects there, and it' is a first-rate\ncamp, but those who arc looking\nfor anything there now must be\nlooking for dirt, not mineral.\"\nIt is undoubtedly true that not\n('lily the.suburbs of Rossland,but a\niarge proportion of the adjacent\ncountry, are covered .with prospectors' ,'\u25a0 stakes, and .within\nthat radius the, prospector,, as a\nprospector,, finds his occupation\npone1, but as a mine-owner and\nprospective millionaire the pros-\nJiector is .still very much in ievidence in Rossland. lie has assumed a more distinguished title,\nthat's all.\nHow llossland Whs Started.\nA oorrespon-dpnt of the Province,\n\u25a0'fter writing an interesting description of a horsebaek journey from\nBoundary to Rossland, says:\n\"Practically we -have nothing\nnow on Sheep Cflbek, and yet Sheep\nCreek\u2014or rather the C-olvilie Indian\nReserve and a- belief that it was\nabout to be thrown Open, for settlement lias had a ileal to do with\nthe development of this district.\nFor years it had been known that\nthere were rich diggings in the reserve, and scores of American prospectors have made expeditions into\nthe country iir Spite of the law.\nHowever, they never managed to\neffect their purpose. During the\nlast two or three years a number of\nthem have been waiting, as it were,\non the edge of the promised land;\nfor the signal to go in and possess\nit. That signal has not'come yet,\nbut in the meantime, for want of\nanything' better tb do, they have\nbeen prospecting on the Canadian\nside of the line, the restilt being the\ndiscovery and subsequent development of Rossland and the surrounding district.\"\nItedllf-.tioii Works A .ISJne   Ilevelopmcui.\nPersons of limited experience in\nmining seldom realize how much\ndevelopment must be done in a\nmine before a mill or reduction\nworks of any kind are necessary to\ntreat the ore of that mine. The\nWest is strewn with mills, smelters\nand concentrators that have never\nturned a wheel or have worked but\na few months.\nThe only eafe rule is that a mine\nshould have enough ore in sight to\nnet the cost of a mill or reduction\nplant and show a good profit bo-\nsides before works are begun.\nSmooth promoters and inexperienced superintendents many times\npersuade the owners or investors\nthat such and such a plant for reducing their ore is needed, when\nbut little work lias been clone and\nthe ore that can ' positively lie\ncounted on would not run the proposed works a month. The result\nof this is often a large and useless\nexpenditure for machinery, on\nwhich the promoter probably gets\na commission, and when the short\nrun has been made the startling\ndiscovery is made that the mine is\nout of ore, and there is no more to\nbe found. The investors have lost\ntheir money and feel that they\nhave been gulled some way, and\ncurse mining for ever after as a\ndelusion and a snare, if not worse.\nOrdinary care and a business sense\nwould have saved this result. Develop your mine thoroughly and\nbuild your work's'according to the\nninount and quality of your ore.\u2014\nBpbkahle Mineri\nMissed Its Opportunity*\nThe .Province, speaking of the\nrecent activity of smelting rumors\nin Wesf^ Kootenay, says : \" For a\ntime question of the site for a large\ncustom's smelter seenis'to-'have subsided. The agents of the great\nworks of the United Stales who\nwere here have temporarily left thp\ncountry. ;This is doubtless partly\nowing to the decision of the Hall\nmines to erect their own works.\nHad they made a bargain, as they\nmight have done with the Kajnsas\nCity Smelting,Cp., there is.np.doubl\nthat .that institution, one of the\nlargest of its kind in the States,\nwould have put up extensive works,\nand Nelson would have, become q\nsmelting center. It remains to lie\nproved whether, after all, the Hall\nmines would not have- been- better\nadvised to submit their ore to treatment, .by people who thoroughly\nunderstand the business, without\nany risk, than to undertake the\nbuilding 'and working of a smelter\nthemselves. The previous history\nof the working of the Silver King\nmine certainly does not encourage\npublic opinion here to regard its\nnew .venture as a probable success!\nIf a failure results, the management will be liable to severe censure\nfor not adopting the safer course.\"\nHon- lie Worked n Mine.\n'' IfoW dp we work a niine?'' exclaimed the Sheep MonntiHtieer;\n\"Well, you unsophisticated, undeveloped outcropping of th'e land of\nthe rising sun, I'll proceed to en*\nlighten your beclouded college-bred\nunderstanding.\"\nThe college-bred voting man from\nthe land of the rising'sun sat down\n\u00bbn a 800-dbliar-to-tKe-fcon chunk of\nore artd'turned his undivided attem\ntion to listening to a discourse 'oil\nmineralogy.\n\" We first prospect around until\nwe find a tunnel in on the jugular\nvein and a pile of ore'on thedump;\nthen, If the other feller ajnt lookin',\nwe junip'the claim\". Then we pro\neeed to sink a shaft on the float,\ngather all the gangue and sack it,\nbeing careful to preserve technical\nphrases in ininenilogical science in\nso doin'. Then ' we prospect the\nstockholders with an assessment,\nand if they don't come down put\nin a blast! At this point we call\nthe roll, grab a No. 4, warranted\nnot to rip, wear, tear, ravel, cut or\nrun down at the heel, ragical, tragical, irrasive smelter, and run up\nour stack. If the other feller holds\nthe best hand the stack will diminish, and we consequently drift for\na pay streak. If we don't get\nthrough driftin' by fall it's the first\nthing we go at in the spring. We\nnow concentrate our efforts, and if\nthe silver panned out don't' have\nthe eagle stamped on it we sample\nthe outcroppin' in every saloon\nwithin ti radius of ten miles, and\ntake a chew of terbaccer. Then we\nget to work in earnest, salt the\ndump, and go east and sell all the\nstock we can. We return, renew\nour grub pile, pack it into the\ncabin, and wait for spring to open\nup and the snow to go off. During\nthis .period we amuse ourselves\nplaying seven-up for the drinks.\nWe then import a niinin' and civil\nengineer, run a few levels, cross-cut\nfor another assessment, get it, cave\nin ! the shaft and abandon (he\nproperty. Then,\" and the Sheep\nMountaineer paused a moment to\ncatch his breath, but the moment\nwas fatal to his learned discourse,\nfor the college-bred young man\nfrom the land of the rising sun\nfeebly reached for his pick, staggered slowly to his feet, looked wildly\nthrough the limpid atmosphere towards the summit of Sheep Mountain ami disappeared behind the\ngiant outcroppings of Ihe Big Eliza\nlode.\u2014Lump City Miner.\nIN  NOltTH JtOSSI.ANI).\npA^PtpowN, Rossland, Aug. 24.\nProbably few people are awaro\nthat not far from this famous- mining town there is another place\nWhich is gaining a large population\nas well as gaining favor.

Sometimes you are startled\nby the. cry of anguish when some\npoor.unfortunate happens to grasp\nthe heated side of the pan; and\nagain there are those who arc continually ','chewing the rag,\" who\nare-always grumbling as to'who is\nto cook, and this and that does not\nsuit them; but Iam'glad that these\nare only exceptional cases and\nmostly used in fun.\n\u25a0 At night it is a picturesque and\nweird sight to visit the different\ncamps, with their groups of human\nfaces encircling the fires, passing\ntheir time spinning yarns and telling, I have iho doubt, many a good\nfish story.\nThe night I spent in camp my\npartners were' a little 'under the\nweather'with'bad colds,'so we retired early, but not' to sleep, owing\ngreatly   to   the   continual- boom\ncaused  by blasting at the mines,\n... \u25a0\nreminding one'of the bombardment\nof Alexandria, and to the sudden\nexclamation from one of the camp';\ners who professed to have-stniek\nthe only hard'sptit on ' the face of\nMother Earth.\nIt may not be out of place to\nenumerate (for the information of\nthose intending to start camp life)\nthe articles we have in our camp:\nCue sheet-iron stove, frying-pan,\ntin cups, kettles, spoons, knives,\nforks, etc.; for seats we have a couple of nail kegs, a piece of plunk\nwith supports for a table, and a\nfew shelves for our eatables, which\nusually consist of rice, bacon, ham,\nbeef, honey, potatoes, milk, etc.,\nand we are all willing to aflirm\nthat we live like railway magnates;\nin fact, one member of our camp\ncircle is complaining of gout, no\ndoubt induced by the high living.\nWewilco.\nfred j. squire,\nMerchant Tailor.-\ni , .
