MOSE SCORNED EXPERTS
Oldtimers from the Boundary
country in southern B. C. will re
member Mose Burns. “Mose the
Miner" he was called. Mose was
as independent as a porcupine and
lived a whole lot like that animated
cousin of the devil’s club. He was
a likeable cuss, with a number of
peculiarities, one of which, that
differentiated him from most of the
prospectors of that day, was that
he was quite partial to "Seagram’s
■83." Mose would disappear from
civilization for weeks, sometimes
for months, but always returned to
town with a paek-ioad of rook that
was more or less ore, and he Invar
iably drifted around to the news
paper office to show his samples.
In 1900 the Grand Forks Gazette
was being published daily and the
writer was custodian of its news
oolumns. Mose dropped in one day
and carefully deposited about ten
pounds of sock on the ink-besplat
tered desk. Selecting a piece he
handed it to the news editor and
ashed: "Now what do you make of
that?”
“Well, Mose," the Scribe replied
after a oritical examination, "that
is a fine combination of horn-blende
feld-spar, silica and mica."
"That's what I thought" shouted
Mose triumphantly. "One of those
blankety-blank yellow legged ex
parts told me it was granite. I
knew he was lying to get the claim.
I knew it was what you said it is
all the time. He'll never grab that
olaim. Why, say, that lead's a
thousand feet wide if it’s a blank
blank foot. Say. you’re in on it,
kid. We’ll make a million ana take
a trip to Spokane."
“Now here’s a ohunk from an
other place,’* he continued. "That
same mother-forgotten son of a one
eyed pack mule told me that is sil
icious, Say, he cant fool old Mose.
I know what silicious looks like
and that dont look nothing like
silicious. Silicious is entirely dif
ferent looking rook entirely. If
that aint the best blank blank cop
per ore that ever came down Ket
tle river I’ll eat my shirt without
any woozey-chester sauce on it.
Weil, so-long, kid. I’m going to
hunt up that yellow-legged scab-end
of a hard winter and tell him his
right name. Remembei, it’s Spo
kane for us this winter.”
Mose is knocking chunks from
the golden streets now.
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
