There is some STIR in Windsor county,
Vermont, on the subject of gold mining,
occasioned, as the Burlington Free Press
explains, by the following circumstances ::
"An island has been formed at one point
in the White river, by the yearly wash of
mud brought down from the hill sides for
miles by the rapid stream. 1t is of about
fifteen acres, and has Tor years been culti-
waited and used as pasture, with good prof
its to its owners. 1t once formed part of
the property OF the late Merrick Gay
Last summer man named Saltry, an
Englishman by birth, as we are told, well
informed, well educated in mining and
metallurgy, and having had practical ex-
perience in the California gold regions,
got his eye on the island, and having
made what investigation he desired,
leased it of the present owner for small
sum, $50 for the first year, and 500 a
year thereafter, with some privileges and
additions, as we are informed Before
long is was noised abroad that Mr.. Saltry
was finding gold in paying proportions
on the island, and he was not long with
out plenty of offers for rights TO dig, the
owner of the land himself paying $500 fol-
one. Mr.. Saltry does not intend to dig
himself, but to let ont the whole territory
IN small tracts; and probably as soon as
spring comes, the island will be all work
ed over. The soil is black sand, in which
grains of gold of more or less ineness can
be seen with the eye. A quantity of gold
washed cut by Mr. Saltry and sent tt
New York for assay gave the value of tht
ore at 81 $50 TO the ton
