ItKr.l' C'KKKK MINKS. The Tribune cautions prospectors to remember that Peep creek mining districts dis-tricts are low grade. "Ai far as known," it says, "they are going to what are known, and always will bo be, as a rule low grade camps." The low grade camp is the stand by of any country, but the rich deposits are the immediate hope of the prospector, and there is no reason to doubt that Deep creek has its full proportion of high grade leads. Ihigway was regarded as a low grade district until (iilson demonstrated that there were rich ore chutes there. Fish Springs district has developed high grade, ore while in Deep creek proper much remarkably rich mineral is being found. The largo deposits of low grade mineral found iu tho early days gave tho districts their reputation, but it does not follow that there are not more immediately valuable deposits. In fact, recent discoveries prove that there are hitrh erado leads there. The fact explodes tho low pradu idea, aud opens tlm eutire field to high grade pos-Bi'jilities. pos-Bi'jilities. In every great camp there are a doen jr so of low grado mines to every one of the opposite character, and the rnlo will hold good in Deep creek. The great number of low grade discoveries made in the past, and the discoveries now made of high grade deposits, conclusively con-clusively prove the value oi the region and lead to the conclusion that the proportion of the two classes of mines will bo maintained there, and that their aggregate number will surprise the mining communities.
