TO DIG FOR COAL. Will Look iorCarboniferouos Depoiit la Bear Valley.. The lllue Mountain Eagle says tha' Judge Sels, who is owner (if a property In Hear valley, commonly known as the Hull Spring's ranch, expects, just as soon as the hay harvest Is over, to glvo his attention to the development of some coal deposits that have been discovered in that valley. Years ago while Thomas Crawfoid, the present janitor of the court house, was digging " well for HukIi Smith on his ranch oil Hear creek, a lied of coal was disclosed at the depth of aliout twenty feet. Plenty of water was found at that depth, hut It tasted so strong from the coal that thu well was almudoned. This ranch was afterwards acquired by Judge Sols, and it is on tills property that he will confine his first operation to develop the coal deposit. It is also stated that coal was found in a well ly the Ilyratu brothers, who own property near that of Mr Sels. Ill each of these places the coal appears to lie of an excellent quality, and when de veloped may prove to lie valuable. MONEY IN LOW GRADE ORE. Such Eper Propotltloot Appeal to the fenced Operator. It is the big low-grade mining propositions that appeal to the ex perienced mining man and mill operator. As a general thing It is the low-grade mines which pay the most in dividends and whose existence are continued for years where a really rich mine is of short duration. We know that high grade ore appeals to the imagination and cupidity of thu tenderfoot and the public at large, and that people will go into raptures over a few Indies of cM'cdlugly rich mineral; hut, in thej long run, the mine with vast bodies of milling ore in Its workings will win out and maintain a paying basis long after the small vein of (hipping ore has become exhausted, ami it has licuii truly stated that a foot of ore that yields from 6(10 to H0 to the ton in the precious and baser metals is not to be compared In value and source of prollt to the eight or ten-foot body of ep and 610 ore. In the milling of the small vein, but few men can bo employed, while a largo amount of dead work has to be douo in order to extract the extremely high-grade rook. In j Only the oest brands ot liquors and a large zone of low-grade or milling cigars at Dunphv'a -The Club"." ore, a small army of men may be employed In mining operations. Cross-cuts, drifts, upraises and winzes can be driven on the ore, and thousands of tons extracted at a nominal cost and without the waste I incident to tho operation of a mine where Nature has deposited her treasures in small but rich veins Tho investor, seekiug a producing Resolution Authorizing the City Attorney to Employ Assistance. lie it Resolved by tho common and paying mine, is generally much , couu tl City of Sumpter that more Iiivciriihlilv lnmfouNfirl with n .

Nearly all of tho great camps of tho west are low-rgado propositions, tho rich mines which have made fortunes for their owners being exceptions to tho general rule.
