citemeht over the new gold discovery at
Mount Pisgah, near Pixies Peak, is be-

telegraphs tonight: at is not
strictly placer ground. In tho gold
bearing gravel in the gulches, in some
places. il is cemeted into the hard marsh

free. Colors are often obtained by
washing. There is a strong resemblance
to the dry placers Of New Mexico.

The rock is volcanic. 1t is district
certainly of great possibilities. Several
assays have been made with an average
of about forty ounce of gold, with a
trace Of silver. Some have run much
higher.
