Those who were released from the army
too late to put in crops, are very busy
washing gold from the ranches ana

at work getting gold in Goochland and

pennyweights a day to each mirer. |
have heard that in Buckingham, Cul
pepper and other counties, men are also
working, The quartz veins are large and
very rich, and would pay well, but not a
single quartz mill is working in the gold
districts. In few places some are work
