Deer Creek is famous for its gold mines of the past. This week, while probing along its course and examing the cuts and fills of the freeway for possible pictures on rocks and boulders, George Brooks, Nugget Ad-man and photographer, suddenly came upon a rich quartz, vein, thatwill undoubtedly prove once again that the old time miners were right. There is still GOLD. ALONG THAT CREEK!! Deer Creek once echoed the sounds of rolliking miners' voices about the strike or rich pocket of gold they had found. It can come to life again as a result of Brook's find just off main street in Nevada City. The gold bearing ledge was apparently uncovered during the recent heavy flooding of Deer Creek as a result of the heavy rains and change of flow. This Creek whose constant flow to lower country has carved its chosen path through granite quartz and serpentine, must ‘laugh at the attempts of men trying to disturb its ‘hoards of raw gold. The ledge as seen in the photo shows the gold bearing vein; (note arrow that indicates the deposit). Experts inthe field say it will go $125 per ton, if mined and milled. If this figure is correct you could make or lose a fortune ina short time. Mother nature has a . technique she uses to keep treasures for herself, and has been known to be cruel to intruders, however this should point out to our government the fact that the precious metal is still available inthis locale if the price for gold is raised enough to have it produced within the bounds of our economy. Perhaps the noise of a stamp mill will be heard again and all of che sounds that indicate that the mines of old are at work again. This new strike and discovery means very little to this writer as he finds NEVADACITY more real gold in the people of these two towns each day than has ever been extracted from the earth. The scintillating truth is that right here in Nevada City there is a new freeway, costing millions, that runs directly through tons of valuable gold bearing quartz, which if mined properly would bring untold wealth to our country and prosperity to our County. Mr. Brook's discovery and the samples he has taken from the ledge prove once again that the 49'nrs were so right; "THERE IS/ GOLD IN HERE ISA CLOSE-UP picture of the vein of gold bearing quartz laying under the watery flow of Deer Creek, in Nevada City.
