Show I'Alll.lllt LAK ritOHI'KCTiVO. An Ogden man went out U Ihigway and has returned with a doleful story regarding the country. Hu seems to h ive gone forth with the idea that the life of tho prospetor was one of luxurious luxu-rious easo: that tho choicest food Was prepared in advance for him; that this dust of ihe plains was sprinkled down for his comfort; that fountains were arranged ar-ranged to allay his thirst, and that nil nature had combined to make his progress prog-ress a long pleasure trip, lie discovered discov-ered that the work of tho prospector is .lillicult; that it involves exposure and lardships; aud that silver does not ?ome forth from its hiding daces in the hills to greet tho seeker after fortune. Therefore, after hanging about tho camp for a few days, he hurried back homo and his story ns told upon his re-' re-' turn leads the Standard to announce that tnu DeepCr.'ek boom is "bursted." Il happens that prospectors who go to Dugwiyand other camps in that section sec-tion declare that they are tho most j promising that they have ever seen. Throughout the entire history of min- j ing, prospecting has been an arduous occupation. The prospector has braved the heat of the deserts; he has camped in tho snow of the mountains; he has carried w ater ou his back to ipiench his thirst on the plains, aud has risked his life !n fording mountain torrents, Ho has faced danger in every form and j endured privations of all kinds, but the charm of his life has never been dulled ' aud ho has never been daunted by anv ! hardships iiresenting themselves iu his path. Tho greatest rewards have ofteu come after the most trj ing experiences, and in the future the most important finds will fall to tho fcbaro of men who shall haye endured the most in searching search-ing for them. Thero in ore in Deep Crek. There aro glisteuin treasures thcrd wuitinpf to bu unearthed. Where o much has beeu found, much must yet remain re-main undiscovered; and the prospector pros-pector will go forth to liud it. llo knows that water is scarce in many Jilacos; he knows that there are obstacles obsta-cles of all kinds to lie overcome; but be cheerfully ignores thoiu all and goes forth to explore new lands and en- j .leaver to secure a portion of the rewards re-wards that ara reserved for the enterprising. enter-prising. Deep Creek is not " bursted," but its biddun treasure vaults will bo urst open by the hardy mining pion-,-ers; a railroad will burst into it, and a stream of wealth will burst out of it, J and men will snap their lingers at tho ! hardships endured in tho campaign j while quietly laughing at the chicken-! hearted individuals who sickoned at tho ! night of the canteen. j |
