LOCAL MATTERS.

RICH SrRfEE.-A miner named john Hall,
who has been working on Rock creek and vi
cinity for many years, has lately made fortu-
nate strike. He was interested in some claims
in the crock, bQt not being able to work them
an accolint Of high water, he occasionally en-
Moved his time in prospecting. About three
weeks ago he found some rich ground on low
point Of land making down to the creek, and
immediately got some sluices and went to work.
He hired two or three men, and up to last Sat-
urday evening, had taken out near six thousand
dollars. The diggings are not supposed to be
extensive, but the fortunate discoverer has az
ready made respectable "pile." This ground
which has proved so Tich, has been walked over
time and again by the miners of the vicinity,
but no one thought Of striking pick in it with
the view of prospecting. The miners havei al
most given up prospecting for surface diggings
this vicinity; but undoubtedly other claims win
vet be found about Nevada as rich, and as
easily worked, as that struck by Mr.. Hall.
