One would imagine that a pros* pector would have a .pretty tough time away out by himself on thc bills hunting for quart*/, but I assure you I enjoyed myself. I felt pretty lonely tho first two days with no one to talk to and j -kc with, but I soon came to enjoy the freedom of being away from thc cares, and worries ol the world. You have no idea how pleasant it is to be away off by ones self without a soul to interfere with his movements for days at a time, and it is more especially delightful on the mountains away high up above the noise of the busy world. One feels king ot all around him and realizes for once that it ia his own option whether bo moves, sloops, runs, jumps, or eata, no such pleasure as this can bo found at home, no sir!

Whon I did roach the snow I camped there for two days and enjoyed the coolness as a most pleasant cjntrast to the heat below." •'Well, did you find any quart?.?" "Why, yes, I found two or three ledges, but they do not show much on the surface. There is no telling what they might bo were a person once into them. I had a rough time once in awhile. I got into places occasionally that I thought I would never get out of again, in fact, 1 stood upon ledges that goata would scarcely venture upon and looked down into great chasms which meant ceiUin destruction hud I aecideutly tumbled into any of tbctn." "Did you sec any game at all up ihero?" Nothing with tlie exception of smajl *>and flies and aiosqnitoes even ny up iu the snow where one would almost think tbey. .would., freeze to death.

Unelsvolopsd r.linoial Claims. The following from ihe San Fran seo Cull is 5tiine.\liut applicable lo British Columbia. The practice nl luded toobtaius ton greater or lese extent in every milling camp: "When ii man is now nt mining he t.i apt to take tip more ground then he cm properly bundle. There is carcely anything worse than having a wliold lot of ground in a camp held by a few men, who just manogn to do RSS08Sitlr,nt wmk each year and. sic more. Th'* re:;u!t is that none ofthe claims arc properly developed or brought to euch a siage as to ijiviiu inspection from llioso wiio might he purcliaBers. Tlm mining laws arc complied wiih simply because tbey Iihvc tn he, but men l*.oliJ;l)g chums in ibi:' wny are apt to rely moreen he remits of the laborof tlieir neigli hors lliflti on tlieir own exertions. Tins sort of thing is not honest mining. Men who bold claims in ibis way prevent oihers Trom working the ground lliey have, and yet tlmv do not work it themselves. There seems to be no vray lo prevent men ncqutr inu* larger locations than ihey can handle. A 1,500 foot location on a h-dtfc ought tu be'enough for anybody, but the class of mon referred to take up a do/.-.m licli locations, und then use thc names of others on the continuations of the Iim!_-c:_ io uc- rjiiire more. Such men do more harm than good lo a camp. Tliay keep it back because they keep oul men Who would do actual development wick nnd not mere assessment work. The latter ia enforced, of courso, or even lhal Utile would not he done. If, m stead of tieir scattering tin ir work in a dozen or bo placo3, prospectors would concentrate their efforts on one clnim and open it properly, they would bring it to a proper condition for a ;;.l!;j cl some value to them and to llio camp. There are plenty of 'claim poor' miners ol! over the conn try, who will never get any better ofl mi) ihey drop some of their super formed out ut' acinic puopl i,i. bunkers.
