The Low Grade Mining Camp

The following article taken from the Bhlfrog Miner indicates
that mining men have awakened to a higher appreciation OF the
permanent low grade mining districts. While this experience has
been slow in coming, the increased activity in the old camps backed
by a history filed with a record of a continuous profitable mining
industry covering a period of 30 or 40 years, bears out the truth Of
the statements contained in this article.
When mining men confne their operations to actual mining on
legitimate basis, and devote their attention to the production OF
profitable ores instead of stock jobbing, Eureka district, the mines
of which have been worked through a long period of years with i'm
mense profit to the operators, will again become one of the greatest
scenes of activity in the mining world.

A Salt Lake critic says that the average Nevada newspaper de-
votes more space to a small stringer of thousand dollar ore than 1t
does to a 2O-foot vein of $40 rock and the average Nevada news
paper will have to plead guilty to the impeachment Its an error
which most papers have made, and the Miner cannot urge that it
has been entirely guiltess. In these days of get-rich-quck methods
md ideas the position is a natural one. The thousand dollar ore
looks like ready cash, while the $40 rock means the installation o.
treating machinery and may be a long period of waiting for
dividends. This assumption has led miners, prospectors, and men
of small means to rush to the high grade discoveries, to form ephem
eral camps and towns in the hope of making a fortune quickly, and
the newspapers have not been slow in aiding and abetting their
efforts. These efforts are legitimate, and a man cannot be blamed
for wanting to make a few thousand dollars in a hurry.
But the boosting of the high grade propositions in Nevada has
been done to the neglect of the States more substantial and more
lasting mineral deposits. There are few, if any, high grade districts
which have developed enduring mines. The big mines of the world
are all low grade. Notwithstanding the time worn refrain of the
fake mining promoter that values increase with depth, it is a fact
tina. the richest gold ore has been discovered at or near the surface
and that values do not increase with depth. But it is the low and
medium grade veins which hold with depth.
While it is fact that many rich discoveries have been made IN
the Bullfrog, the district on the whole is a low and medium grade
milling proposition. Its wealth has scarcely been touched its
deposits have hardly been prospeced. 1t has gone through the
distressing effects of a boom, a panic and it still lives. Moreover, it
has entered the ranks of producing camps in the face of these
adverse conditions. And the Bullfrog will be on the map and
fourishing when some of the high grade camps have passed back to
the Aborigine, the coyote and the sidewinder.
The growth of a mining camp may be hkened to that of a
plant or an animal Plants and animals which attain maturity
quickly re short lived. Men are made mad through the intoxicating
effects of gold. They rush in and build towns which become
populous in a short time, and fade away. But the low grader grows
slowly through years and lives on. And SO it will be with the
Bullfrog.
