That this extreme end of the creek contains a large body of average low grade pay dirt we do not for mo- ment deny, and that by skillful, inex- pensive methods of mining it will yet yield good results is foregone con- clusion, but extravagant sta, ements that overtop even the elastic bounds of the veracity of boomers should be dis couraged.
 The Dawson market has been rather quiet the past week, but merchants are looking forward to a good spring trade with money little easier.
