GOLD NEAR CINCINNATI
! The Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesday says:-Wt
are informed by Mr. Baen, associated with Mr.. F

County Auditors office, that gold diggngs have
recently been discovered in section twentv-eight
Symmes township, about one mile almost due ives
from Polktown, on the Little Miami Railroad. w

sincerity by visiting the placer Sunday, ant
confirms his statement. The placer is in a littl,
branch called Dry Run, which enters the Little
Miami river below Polktown, and is on the premi
ses of Mr.. Nathaniel Humphrey.
Mr.. Humphrey passed several years in the placer
of California, but is settled upou the farr
above mentioned. Observing the similarity of tn
typographical formation in that section with go
regions in California, he was prompted by motive
OF curiosity to prospect and he succeeded in fine
