TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR GOLD MINERS

1. you must not have more than one claim.

2. you must not make a false claim on yourself.

3. You shall not go prospecting until your claim is extinguished.

4th Thou shalt not think more of all thy gold, nor of how thou canst make it most quickly, than of how thou shalt enjoy it afterwards.

5. thou shalt not kill thy body by working in the rain. Neither shalt thou kill thy neighbor's body in single combat. Neither shall you destroy yourself by being "tight" or "subdued."

6. thou shalt not be discouraged, nor think of going home until thou hast made thy "heap."

7. thou shalt not steal thy fellow miner's pick, pan, or shovel, nor take away his tools without his permission, nor borrow those he cannot spare, nor remove his stake to increase thy claim, nor cheat thy partner out of his share.

(8) Thou shalt not tell thy neighbors false stories about "good pits in the mountains" so that thou mayest favor a friend who has mules, supplies, tools, and blankets that he cannot sell.

(9) Thou shalt not make an unsuitable marriage, nor desire "single bliss," nor forget absent maids, nor neglect thy first love, but consider how faithfully and patiently she waits for thy return.

10. if you have a wife and little children whom you love more than your life, keep them constantly before you to cheer you up and drive you on until you can say: "I have had enough; God bless them; I will return."
