OVER THE HILL
"Over the hill the grass is green
er,” but green grow the grasses O,
“over the hills” over which we all
have packed our optimism and hopes
to the new camps.
We are funny people, take us by
and large. We are all bound to make
our dreams come true, and we die
trying it. “Hitch your wagon to a
star” some gink once wrote, and we
have all had our heads in the clouds
ever since, overlooking the beauties
of the spot we stood upon and the ad
vantages of the camps which were
but a short day’s travel from us. We
keep on traveling to the new camps
of promises, until one day we come
to our last camp in the promised
land, and another dreamer finds that
his dreams have come true, but not
exactly how and where he expected
them to.
Here’s a case in point: The inter
est the people of this camp have evi
denced in Hyder, the new camp on
the border which is most remarkable
0 #*
in that its riches in silver lie over
the line a mile away and in a foreign
land. And, all the time, in the Kan
t'slina, we have a larger and richer
known silver wealth than both Hyder
and its Canadian neighbor, Stewart
possess. Hyder and Stewart are yet
to demonstrate—the Kantishna has
been proven and its silver lodes are
uncovered and in plain sight. Tom
Aitken, mushing from camp to camp
over the hills, was shown the Kan
tishna ore, hurried there to take a
lock at the property and grabbed it
at once on option. He is spending
what is really big money developing
his optioned mine, and is shipping
to the railror.u at fabulous expense
—he wounldn’t do that unless he
knew the value of the ore, for he
knows silver-lead ore as well as tlui
*
next one. And, there are many other
rich silver-lead claims partially devel
oped there, and every prospector and
the Kantishna is going back this
miner who has spent the years in
spring. That tells what’s really in a
camp.
When the miners came to the north
in 1898, they came away from camps
where silver wouldn’t sell for 50
certs, and where' it cost that to take
it out. Ever since then silver has
looked like counterfeit money to them
although the demand for silver is so
great now that it is commanding the
largest price ever paid for it. Silver
is the fair-liaired boy in the metal
bunch today, the red-headed copper
k'd even taking a back seat for sil
ver. But the fact that the old miners
have that ancient suspicion of silver
ami for the further fact that they
came here to mine gold and can’t con
tent themselves with taking out any
thing else, they would be in the Kan
tishna camp three-deep, and their
number and the importance of their
camp would compel proper and suf
ficient roads in that section to make
mining easy. \
Slowly but surely this country and
its people are coming down to brass
tacks which are not the stuff that
dreams are made of. The country is
coming to it faster than the people
are, but the wise Mikes of this North
land will -be those who are able to
bring themselves to realize today that
the riches of this camp are most all
here yet; that they lie in more than
_pne channel, and that the boy who
can see what stares him in the face
and can content himself to learn to
labor and wait will be wearing dia
monds when the rainbow chasers are
wearing rags.—Ex.
What you say doesn’t amount to
anything more than once out of ten
times at hat, hut what you do affects
somebody every time you do it.
