NEW DIsCovERT.-Quitea an excitement
was created yesterday morning by the
announcement that ledge had been
struck on Meadow Valley street, oppo-
site Cedar. We Immediately repaired to
the spot and found quite crowd of ex-
cited individuals, monument three feet
high erected and parties trying that por-
ton Of the ledge that was above ground,
knocking off portions and making valu-
atoms of the same. One discoverer
stayed on the ground while the other
rushed with notice to the Office of the
Recorder. We then left and proceeded
to the Recorders Office to ascertain if it
had been recorded, ard found it had, by
two comparative strangers to any one, as
far as could be ascer.ained. The names
or the locators are L. Marion Abbott and
John MCGOWAN, each taking up $50 feet.
There were many surmises as to how the
discovery was made, and who were the
men, what the property holders in the
vicinity would do if it was worked, etc.
Toward noon the excitement died away,
the people left and quietness reigned.
We believe the discoveries intend to
commence work on it to-day.-Pioche
