PROSPECTING
WEST COAST RESOURCES, The West Coast offers the best prospects for the man searching for alluvia} fields and patches, says the Christchurch “Times,” and any course that would make success more a matter of chance, should have the consideration of the authorities. Prospecting, by the very nature of things, ; is not work that any and every man i can undertake. It demands a full measure of physical strength and endurance, and a willingness to Jive far from the haunts of men. Rut no ' difficulty in obtaining the right stamp of man need be anticipated, and, provided they had been given expert instruction, the State might, with profit, “grub-stake” them instead of using available funds to provide other forms of employment of possibly little practical value. When due allowance has been made for the unconquerable optimism of those who have been gold mining, there remains good ground for the (relief ‘that the resources of the West Coast have bv no means been exr hausted, and now, if ever, is the time for reiiewed activity.
