GREAT DISCOVERIES OF GOLD NEAR QUARTzsURG.-We
understand that all Marposa county is in state OF

auriferous hill on Bear Gnlch,, about six miles from
Quarzburg that has already yielded amount of gold

Ii appears that there indications of quartz vein
upon the hill, which attracted several Mexcans TO the
spot who set about opening the ledge They continued
quietly at work for some time, when il was rumored
around that they were working something richer than
quartz
Small parties of miners repaired TO the spot who found
them taking out the gold by the pound OF the
news spread at once and general rush was Immediately
The soil OF this hill, informed. consists OF
quartz and slate much dscomposed as TO crumbe in

amount OF gold.
Our informant for instance states that the few Mex
who first worked il believed to have taken out
S250,000 before the Americans discovered It. Samples
OF this aurerous soil now in the city, said to contain
90 per cent. OF gold.
The gold 10 frequently found connected with and ad-
