GOLD IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

A correspondent Of the Olympia Pioneer and
Democrat, writing from Steilacoam, under date
of April 4lh, announces tue discovery Of gold
in that vicinity The writer says Zone OF our
citizrns, DIR. Muse, took his spade and pan at
an early horr lhls morning, and repaired to a
spot at the head of high water, dug out pan
full of the earth, washed The same, and found
it to contain handsome quar.tity OF beautiful,
real, simon pure Soon the news spread
like wild fire over the entire length and breadth
Of Steiiacoon, and men aud boys were seen
hurrying to the spot, armed and equipped with
shovels, picks and pans. All went TO work
with high hopes and hearty good Will, and
none without success Some twenty FIVE dol
lars, probably, have been washed out to-day,
from hole some two feet square One man
weighing two dollars Claims are already be-
ing taken and companies formed, and every
thing promises that the work will be prosecuted
vigorously and with success. In a ravine some
four hundred yards from Fort Strilacoom, a
gentleman attached TO the army repaired with
tn. necessary implener Is, (after hearing ot the
discovery in town,) dug AM washed some OF thf
dirt, and found handsome quantity OF pure
gold.
From these fac's, the writer continues, am
not only led to believe that our territory Is rtci
in mine ais, but also tilat new era has dawnet
upon us, and that hanceforh we may reasona
bly, count upon gold as one OF the staple pro
ductions of our country.
