RDcxn1LY OacAMI1sD.-A short while ago
some miners discovered rich copper leads in
the vicinity Of ClarksvIlle. 1t caused good
deal Of excitement and companies were at
once organized for prospecting purposes in
this vicinity. We are pleased to state that
they have been eminently successful. The
Wellington claim, three miles from town the
Figusrs, near the above; knights, near lower
Weber bridge; Gen. Grant, an extension Of
The sane, and the Starkey, on MOuud Spring
Creek, four miles west Of Placervile, and near
Cold Springs, all give favorable indications Of
riehneGs. Specimens from the Starkey lead,
taken Out within three feet Of the top, are rich
Or than any IN the CopperOpoliS district.
They may be seen ct the store Of Bye 4 Stew
ast, 10 this city. This lead bids fair TO prove
the most valuable 10 the State. The vein is
from Sixten to eighteen inches in thickness
and increases IN width as It descends. Four
hundred dollaS has been offered and refused
Tor half share. Ali Of the above claims are
being worked and prospect well, and We have
every reason 70 believe that they will prove
valuable.
