The Prospector and the Grub Stake
The prospector who agrees to go out
on a prospecting trip on a grub-stake
cannot quit his “backer” at will. It
is better to have a time-limit distinctly
stated, when the term of partnership
ends. Necessarily it involves much of
honesty and fair dealing on the part
of the prospector, who is supposed to
search vigorously, using all the knowl
edge that his experience has brought
him, for the common good, says
American Mining Review. The pros
pector may find a rich deposit, and
cover it up or fail to make the fact
known until the terra of his grub-stake
arrangement shall have expired—this
has been done heretofore, but an
honest man will attempt no such mean
ness. In grub-staking tlie essential
thing is a “square deal” all around.
