What n Correspondent of the Salt
Lake Tribune Says About Them.
Although communications from the
Deep Greek country have appeared
with considerable frequency in Salt
Lake papers, I am not deferred from
sending you still further intelligence
from this extensive and inexhaustible
mineral region through which I am
sojourning. I am partial to the east
ern portion of Nevada over all other
sections of the Deep Creek country, as
I like the formation and general char
acter of the mineral here better than
in any other locality that I have seen
since leaving Leadville. Glencoe is an
excellent little camp, of which Jesse
Fox is Supt., containing a nroup
of mines that are credit to any Damp.
The Glencoe ore is black metal car
rying chloride and sulphurets, assay
ing as high as one thousand dollars to
to the ton. Mr.. Fox is employing
thirty men on some have dozen prop
critics, all which are producers and on
whose dumps are now not less than
sixty thousand dollars worth of ore.
WHITE CLOUD.
From Glencoe distant about twelve
miles in the White Cloud mining dis
trict are located number of good
mines and promising prospects. The
veins as far as developed, are large, of
a gold and silver bearing quartz, i'm
pregnated with iron. O'Connor and
Wilson own here valuable property
running 30 per cent in lead, 80 ounces
in silver, with a large vein. White
Cloud district is destined to come to
the front in the near future. About
fourteen miles still further across
Spring Valley is the Shell Greek
range. Several companies are opera
ating in the vicinity of Muncy, among
whom are M. E. Bassett, N. @. Noe,
John Curtis and j. Cameron, all feel
ing "That the fortunes come they've
waited for SO long" And I am per-
suaded to share their convictions, for
these parties have sufficient pay min
eral in sight to guarantee the fulfill
ment of most magnificent hopes. In
all my wanderings through the preci-
Gus mineral producing States and Ter
ritories, have never seen mining
camp which, with SO little develop
ment, shows SO large and extensive
veins of good ore as does the one at
Muncy. There is little, and in many
places no wash on the surface, leaving
the cropping of iron, copper and other
minerals exposed, making mining an
an easy task and almost certainly pro-
ftable. The best developed mine at
this camp is the Grand Deposit, show
ing but little metal at the surface, but
at depth of twenty-five feet showing
lead, copper and silver in a strong
contact vein. Descending to the fur
ther depth of 100 feet we find exposed
large body of rich carbonate ore,
and so on down to the attained depth
of 200 feet the vein become larger
aud stronger and the ore more valu
able. Other important mines in this
group are the Defiance Kansas, Key
stone and "76," all showing the same
general characteristics as the Grand
Deposit. We met here at Muncy an
old acquaintance and frst-class all
round mining man in the person of
J. L. Pressnell, superintendent of the
Silver Mountain Mining Company.
This company, through Mr.. Press
nell, last year made some thirty loca-
tions in the Silver Mountain and White
Cloud mining districts.
