Of the eth October, ult, states shat there is
great excitement all through the lower part of the

Socoro, though not at some points more than sew.
enty miles from the Rio del Norte, number Of
mining parties, Of Socorro aud its neighborhood,
who are actively engaged in digging the earth

ounce of gold u day, or over five dollars to each

The excitement is spreading, and parties are
now making up to start out from the Rio Abalo
