ARKApELPmA. ARK, April 7.-Reports
from Hot Springs County, coming from the
neighbOrhood of Bismarck, relative to the
newly discovered gold fields in that vicinity
are of so exciting a nature as to have almost
crazed its inhabitants. During the last foul
weeks the Little Rock papers have from
time to time contained special kilograms
from that locality announcing that discOy-
cries of gold in fabulous quantities were
being made. 1t is said that twenty gold
nuggets to a single pan of dust have been
obtained. and the mounts range from that
down. The people are wild with the gold
craze. IL. BigelOw. an experienced
old miner, returned yesterday from
the camp. He located a claim for which
he says he would not take $4,000. He
brings some really line specimens. A new
town is laid off and buildings are going up.

The county in question, a. well as
the n%eighbOring counties OF Garland,
Montgomery, Clark, Polk and Others, are
very rugged and mountainous, and are of but
little value as agricultural land. The excite
ment over the discovery is bringing in hun
dre.iS of people. and many fine nuggets of
gold are exhibited. a telegram from Ark
adelphia. the county seat of Clark County,
says that place is almost depOpulated.
