IS THIS FAIR?
Mining Truth h^s received a com
munication from one of the finest
old prospectors that ever trod the
Kootenay trails complaining that
by a recent trick of legislation he
has been denied the privilege of
supporting himself as has been his
custom since he arrived at the time
of life when hard manual work be
came impossible.
He is nearly seventy-five years
of age and a pioneer of whom any
country might be proud. Square
as a die, of the kindliest heart, gen
erous to a fault and withal too
proud to accept anything at the
hands of other men, for many years
he has earned enough to sustain
him in strict frugality by winter
trapping and has now been told by
the law that his activities must
cease. We do not know the exact
circumstances—whether this be a
lacal or provincial law—but we do
know that the preservation of one
old-timer such as this, in the open
air of God’s big outdoors and in
freedom from the stinging curse of
charity is worth more than preser
vation of all the fur-bearing animals
that ever roamed the Koote lays.
Wanton destruction of such ani
mals is quite another thing, but
surely the great province that has
shown such solicitude for its min
I iog pioneers ana done so much to
i ad vance the interests of the mini- g
industry should at least do nothing
to rob one such t d timer cf a
means of livelihood to which he is
accustomed and through which he
may retain his self-respeot. We
cannot bdieve that this phase ol
the situation has been brought tc
the attention of those responsible
for the order and we herefore vo.i t
our old friend’s manly complaint in
the hope that special dispensation
will be made in his and similar
cases. Usu :ily Britii h Columbians
are not deaf to such entreaties.
Our front page editorial of last
week caused much favorable com
ment, but several citizens who said
they liked ii, also s; i i we did not
go far enough. Th se should rem
ember that it is a poor hunter who
fires all his ammunition in the first
volley. Ha should save some to
pick off the cripples.
A Cincinnati woman was fined
$200 for keeping whiskey to bathe
her feet in. Served her right
whiskey was not made for such
base purposes.
i A battered individual applied for
j a job at a well known mine in the
jCoeur d'Alenes. Said the foreman,
“What do you know about miningl1’
“What do I know, partner, why h—
for forty years I've cooked for the
boys and sweated the payroll.’’
He war hired.—Mining Truth.
