RICK "PLAcERs IN OUR NBIaHBoR-
HooD.-We are in possession OF an au-
,hentic statement in regard to the discov-
cry Of immensely rich placer diggings not
far from this town, which leads us to ex-
pect that within q few months there will
be a mining excitement" in Nevada
such as will rival the rushing days Of Cal.
~ifornia. We are not at liberty to indicate
the precise locality Of the new Dorado.
but we may illustrate something OF its as
certained, demonstrated richness. Three
men who lave been working q claim in the
digginss referred to, during the past six
months cleared $4,000; and they say
they did not work very hard al It,

from q claim adjacent to the n spoken

since. From it SSS in gold was taken.

services Of the mills to work it. We as
sure our readers that we here only recount
what has been told US by citizens Of Vir-
ginia Of unimpeachable character for truth
and veracity. When we were first in
formed Of the facts, we thought the state
ments were made for fun ; although there
was nothing in the style Of the men who
made the relations to justify the SUPPOSE
ton that they would impose on any n
such stories for q joke. But the relation SO
surprised US, and seemed so incredible
when the nearness and oft-trayersed
workings Of the locality designated
were considered, that we did sus-
pect a crying niger in the cradle. Not
so, however; we are solemnly and with
u~ndubi,able proofs assured. Of course, 1t
is an object for the discoveries to refrain
from stating where the DIooINGs are to be
found; but they have no thought Of or dis
position to monopolize the vast expanse OF
sage brush country that looks equally
promising with the tested and ~splendidly
productive sections Of mother earth which
they have worked and not found wanting
in the gold balance. II may be that dur
ing next week we shall be allowed to tell
ali we know definitely of the Nevada
Placers being then informed by a trip
to and personal examination Of them. If
all told and worn to is emphasized in
truth by the experts who will visit the
locality praised, during this month,
things will spring up wonderfully and
unprecedentedly hereabouts.
