NEW D1GGISGs.-A new discovery has been
made in the vicinity Of Nevada which has thrown
the mining community OF that section Of the State
into excitement. New and very rich diggings have
been discovered, 10 which the name Of Gold Run
has been given. The digglngs are on the otherside
of the creek, opposite Nevada. The claims are all
taken up, and the owners Of them sold them az
from FIVE to sixteen and eighteen dollars apiece.
This is at least an indication Of their rlchness-
Those miners that fortunate as to hold claims
feel confident that their fortunes will be made in
few months

who is late from the Tuolumne, that less than
tlocaty.four dams are being thrown across this
river. in a distance Of eighteen miles, commencing
at Stevens's and extending to Morgan's Bar
There is not the least doubt that the bed OF TINS
river will PROVE immensely rich.
The Deer Creek diggings are very productive
but the miners have not done much In the bars OF
the creek, on account Of the high water caused by
the melting of the SHOWS.
