FORTUNE FINDER
LARAMIE, Wyo., Feb. 19. (/PiAt
the Wyoming Mining Congress held
recentiv one of the professors in
a speech stated that the petro-gr
phic microscope was soon to take
the place of the gold pan. That was
an interesting bit of enlightment.
The speaker was sought out in a
Hcsire to V'nrn more about the
wtro-graohin microscone. He stat

Obliviously there is i,i ice an una
i ridged gap lying between the
■ ui'cly academic and the practical.
When measured in dollars anu
< eurs it showes a difference of
•C-.>P9.?5 in favor of the practical.
Our colleges are able to teach j
aeoiogv mineralogy, metallurgy, j
and methods of mining and mill-,
mg, but when it comes to prosper ■
i'T thm- haven't much to offer tha‘
■s practical. Much has been said
ft laic about the geophysical ore
finde.s or doodle-bugs, or the
-cientific dowsers that are claimed !
to suipass human ingenuity.
All vno toil are haunted by the!
Sf,ect<.'i of the mechanical man I
who may take their jobs. The
doodle-bug has yet to prove its
wortn. The prospectors can point
with pride to the entire mining in
dustry of today as an example ot
."heir handiwork, for be it under
stood that barring accidents, all
mine? were discovered by the hum
ble prospector. An old Whoming!
prospector comments as follows: j
“If you take the trouble to loon
into the matter, you will find that
where the prospector is active there

and new mines are being added to j

the wraith of the world as a natur
al sequence.
"It we of Wyoming would en
tourage the development of our
non-ferrous metals, of which we
nave a prolific abundance, then we
i should make a beginning by rec
ognizing the humble prospector
jP.nd consider the part that he has
ptayed in the development of the
mining industry of this continent.
Outside of Great Britain, European
countries have never recognized
It he prospector and just how do
theii mining industries compare
with that of Great Britain or ours
of the United States? No, we arc
| not afraid of these scientific
doodle-bugs will take our job as a
prospector, just yet a while.

“As we see it, higher education is
a handicap to the prospector be
cause if he is theory-laden he will
weary of real propecting and sd,
i down and take his pencil and
paper end figure it out with a
■graphic chart and curved lines. In
other words, his theories teach him
just where the precious metals!
cannot be. Therefore he will not:
search in such places. On the oth- ;
°i' hand the man unburdened with
heor.es and having only his great
optimism, his unbounded high
hopes, the joy of anticipation, wnl
continue to make discoveries. Gold
is whrre you find it. Altho, today's
efforis may be unsuccessful, he s
siruro jn his belief that tomorrows
effort will bring success.
"No, there is no amount of edu
ration that will make a prospectoi
,ut of a man unless he is possessea
of that supreme optimism that sets
at naught all privation and hara
r’hips end defies failure.” '

‘ l recommend a Lucky in place of a sweet.
Toasting has taken out every bit of harsh
ness in the Lucky Strike tobacco. All that
remains is the splendid Lucky flavor—an ex
cellent substitute when your appetite craves
a sweet but your figure must be considered.”
Elsie de Wolfe
Authorities attribute the enor*
^ * mous increase in Cigarette smok
ing to the improvement in the process of
Cigarette manufacture by the application of
heat. It is true that during 1928, Lucky
Strike Cigarettes showed a greater increase
than all other Cigarettes combined. This
surely confirms the public’s confidence
in the superiority of Lucky Strike.
