Yesterday afternoon Mr.. John Gregory, of Georgia,
the original discoverer of the celebrated Gregory

Mr.. Gregory informed us that he left his diggings

also fellat O'Falon Bluffs on the 4th inst to like

We were shown by Mr.. Gregory various specimens
of gold to the amount of 5000. One specimen Of
gulch or melted gold worth SIS, he panned out of
branch off of claim, for which, he informs us, he
was afterwards offered $4,000. This was solid gold,
which had the appearance Of being melted and run
together with gravel, thus forming solid cement of
gold and gravel.
Mr.. Gregory has come in for the purpose of fitting
up couple of quartz mills, with which he thinks,
when properly running, he can make $4,000 per day
