covered in this valley. On the de
ride between the Little and Big
rivers a son of Mr.. VIM.
CoYart picked up out of some dirt |
thrown out of well being dug by
his father a nugget of gold weigh
ing about thirty dollars. The gold
is very pure, except q scale of cop
per on one end. The nugget came
from about four feet below the sur
face, off ledge of stone.-[ Wichita

GOLD William Co.
vart, Esq, who lives about three
miles south of Augusta, while Dig
ging a well found q singular metal
ic specimen which attracted his at
tention. He brought it to the city
and submitted it to the inspection
of some California miners, who
pronounced it gold. 1t is an irreg-
ular nuggest, covered with q choco-
late colored deposit, which, when
taken of revealed 4 beautiful speci-
men of gold. II was submitted to
the severest tests by our chemists
but proved to be pure. It weighs
about one ounce, and can be seen at
any time by calling on Mr.. Covart.
E. B. Clark also reports that he
found a small specimen of similar
kind on his place. This only goes
to corroborate the statement of the
Usage Indians that large gold de-
posts exist in this locality, and in
the "flint hills" Weathnio of the
Wea tribe, better known as. Mr..
Shields, told us last winter, that
years ago the Osages informed him
of the gold, lead, copper and silver
deposits in the flint hill region, and
that their tribe had found quite
large amounts of gold in that vicin-
ity. Our citizens have recently
found beautiful specimens of lead,
silver and coal, but they had no idea
they were living in the region of
the "filthy lucre." But SO it seems,
and it may not be long before Au-
gusta will be as famous for her gold
renown as Virginia City. Several
of our miners are going to pros
pecting at once.-[Augusta Repub-

Mr.. Huffaker, an old Indian trad
or, we'll known throughout our
State, has kindly sent us word
through Mr.. Dryden to warn all
hunters and stock seekers from GO

grounds, as the Indians are un.
doubtedly cutting of all parties Of
this kind. They are running closer
than ever to the settlements, killing
scalping and stealing from small
parties of men or emigrants where
ever fopnd.-[Wichita Eagle.

An Indian raid was made upeI
SewelPs ranch, twenty-fi mile;
| below Caldwell, one day last week
| SewelPs ranch is on Pond Creek
where the OEages sometimes come
10 trade. There were five hundred
Osages there on business, wheI
thirty Kiowas rode into the CORA
and ran off Sewell's stock, killing
Tommy Best, the herder. The
Osages went out and met them and
tried to pursuade them to return
the stock, but ''no come goodie.'
Instead they said they would ruI
off stock from and kill every Whit
man in that section of the country
They wanted it distinctly under
stood that they were on the "wal
path" just as long as grass was good
and they did not need government
feed. The next day after the abov,
narrated, they went for a party o
Mexicans returning to Texas, had |
fight with them and finally got ava.
with ali their stock, but withou
killing any one. We leave com
