town is wild with excitement over the
rich gold discoveries reported within
few miles of this place. DIR. T. III. Robin

from the gold fields and report them to be
undoubtedly rich. The mines are placers
and were discovered by an old California
who has prospected and kept
mum until grub stake was necessary,
when it all leaked out. The winter rains
have done much toward the development
OF the mines, and will make water plenti-
full this coming season. The mines can
be worked to q big advantage, as the
weather is never cold and water can al
was be had. Conyeyances of all kinds
are in demand. Parties coming in report
people from all directions focking to the
mines"
