The Gold Discoveries

1t appears from accounts which are
poured in upon us from all sections of
the country, that our State is possessed
of great resources of wealth of which
we have been heretofore, totally igno-
rant.
Almost every one Of our State ex-
changes coming to our hands during
the past week, contains an account of a
recent discovery of gold.
We were at first, inclined to regard
the stories with suspicion; bnt the &C
cumulatcd proof now salts fies us be-
yond doubt, that gold exists in large
quantities in number of counties in
this State. Evidences of its existence
have been discovered in Madison, Lee,
Warren, Clark, Boone, Dcs Moines,
Polk, Union, Story and Johnson coun-
ties.
The first discovery was made, We
learn, at st. Charles, Madison county
some time during the past autumn
A person of whose name we are unin-
formed, while engaged in constructing
a mill dam, noticed some small Jumps
of a yellow orc scattered about among
the loose earth and carried them home
for the amusement Of his children
Near the close of the winter, some re-
turned Californians, Glanced to stop at
the house and seeing the playthings of
the children, pronounced them to be
gold. To make the matter sure, one
Of the Jumps was sent to Cincinnati for
examination, with request that if it
was found to be worth anything, to
remit the value by express.
The result was the receipt Of TWEEN
ty-fvc dollars in the course of a few
days.
The discovery was at once made
known and a large portion of the
inhabitants of that section of the coun-
try arc now said to be engaged in dig
ging for the precious metal, with great
success. The profits are, we under
stand from two, to twenty-five, dollars
per day.
These discoveries were Immediately
followed by others in the counties
which we have named. The fact of
the existence Of the mineral in this
State is now settled beyond a doubt
and the only question remaining
to be solved is, can it be collected with
profit! If the reports Of our exchang-
es may be relied upon, it most certain
ly can, in Madison and Polk counties
but as far as the other counties which
we have mentioned are concerned, the
matter yet remains to be settled by
practical working.
The miners are yes wholly without
taitable appliances tot collecting 10

driven from the Territory.
Z. That after the departure Of the

The last few days have witnessed

lie and the officers with him express
very sincere satisfaction with the ac-
con modatons and the courteous at
tcntions extended to them on the O.

speed at which they came over this

coming over the New York and Erie
road.
