Gold Mines in Texas-Humbug.

The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer of the goth
learns from gentleman of undoubted veracity,
who arrived the day before on the Steame Empire
direct from Galveston, that the report of the ex-
traordnary gold discoveries in Western Texas is
an unmitigateI humbug, got up by land owners to
enhance The value of their land property IN the
puted gold region. AT Austin, which is within
sixty miles of the so-called gold region, from
which our informant also came direct, the thing is
well understood, and there no excitement exists.
At Galveston and New Orleans, where the only
excitement on the>subiect has existed, hundreds of
gold hunters are being turned back by the more
correct accounts which are coming down from the
.eputed gold region.
The Houston Telegraph ofthe ISthinst.. has the
following significant paragraph:
"LArE PROM THE GOLD MIxEs.--Several parties
who lately visited the gold dgginS' ON the San
dies and HamiIton's Valley have returned, and
report that gold has certainly been found but in
very small quantities. gentleman who visited
the mines the Sandy, stated that he did not see
any person who had washed out more than one or
two dollars day, and many had found nothing.
Parties returning from them; but few are seen
with valuable specimens of ore. The grocery
keepers in the digginS make more gold than any
of the miners. We are informed that there is
grocery established on one of the branches of the
Sandy, where specimens of gold can be seen at all
times. The keeper of the grocery has tLong
Tom,' which he uses occasionally to show the
quality of the sand, and he has repeatedly washed
out several grains of gold, some of them as large
as grain OF wheat. He is doing very profitable
business selling whisky and renting the Long Tom
TO persons who wish TO test the value of the sand
they obtain in the neighboring creeks"
The Eagle and Enquirers informant further
states that there have been for the past three or
four weeks about three hundred persons at the So
called gold mines. but that many more go away
every week from the 'diggns' than ar:i there.
The whole affair is regarded by the well informed
in Western Texas as cute but not entirely sue
ceSsful slanl speculation
