THE NEW GOLD DISCOVERY.
The "Courier" Gives an Extended
Account OF the Find.

The new gold discovery in
Douglas which was mentioned in
yesterdays APPEAL, is thus des-
cribed by the Genoa Courier OF
yesterday:
For years the fine flo4t gold
along the East Fork Of the Car
son river has attracted the atten-
ton of prospectors but only few
have found gold enough to re-
munerate them for their labor.
Prospectors have scanned the hills
from the place where the Carson
river energies from the mountains
up as far as Silver Mountain in
vain effort to find the fountain
head-the main ledge from which
the float gold is supposed to have
come. 1t was something like
year ago that Marshall willard
told this writer that he had his
eye on a spot that he believed
would lead to the coveted ledge
Mr.. Willard was in the Courier
Office Tuesday and gave a full
statement of his discovery. As
he tells it, about tive years ago, in
company with his partner, j. K.
Mcdonald, and Orson West came
down the river and camped at
Horse Shoe Bend. At that point
Mr.. Willard prospected the crop
pings of ledge and out of twenty
two horns taken from different
places across the ledge he got
twenty good prospects.
A short time ago Mr.. Willard
made further prospects and inter-
ested over twenty people in the
Valley who joined with him in
locating eleven claims, which
takes in a scope Of three miles
along the river, Horse Shoe Bend
being the ceLter. Mr.. Willard
describes the ledge as running Is
degrees east of south and Is de-
grees west OF north, the groupings
show it to he from eighteen to
twenty feet wide on the surface,
and lying back of lime forma-
ton which contains traces OF
quartz. The ledge matter con-
sists of iron and quartz mixed,
and he believes it will be consider
ably decomposed when depth is
attained. The river cuts entirely
through the ledge in places and
shaves it at other points. Where
ever the river has exposed the
ledge, signs of placer mining can
be seen . short distance below.
The rock closely resembles the
groupings at the Willard & Nc
Donald mine which has been
worked with great success.
Mr.. Willard states that the lay
OF the country is such that drift
from the lower end Of the ledge
would naturally wash out across
Mr.. Fl. Springmeyer's land where
a prospect was found year ago
last May that caused q furry of
excitement and the location OF a
number Of placer claims. 1t is
his belief that the black sand and
gold found on the ditch at that
time came from this ledge. In a
few days men will commence work
under the direction Of Mr.. Willard
to cut through the ledge in several
places for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the value of the ore.
II large body Of ore, that will |
even work a few dollars to the ton
has been discovered right at the
door OF this unlimited water power,
it will make Carson Valley one of
the hveliest places on the Coast
Installation.

GEOLOGICAL PARK AND WATER MAIN
The financial resources of the District were
much curtailed by the appropriation made in
the acts of March 2. 1889, and April SO.
1890, Of $4,000 for the establishment Of
Geological Park in the District OF Column
bia and by an appropriation in the gen.
for ISIS 900 to lay forty-eisht inch main, with
necessary connections. one-half Of the cost Of
which is chargeable to the revenues Of the Dis
trict derived from taxes on private property
and privileges. So far as the Commissioners
1T rs the opinion that the
charged with any portion Of the expense Of the
establishment and maintenance of the park,
which Is national institution established for
the benefit Of the country at large and no
reasons appears why the taxpayers Of the Dis
trict should contribute to this purpose more
than to the purchase of any other government
property in the District. Neither should the
private property in the District be required to
contribute to the expense Of providing the
4S-inch water main, the construction Of which
was rendered necessary by reason Of the fail
ure to complete or make available the tunnel
and its sppurtenances, which were designed to
increase the water supply, and one-half of
the cost thereof charged against the
District If, however, Congress should
adhere to its purpose to require the District to
pay One-hak Of the expenses on account Of this
water main and the Geological Park, the Com
nissioners urge that these payments may be
made in twenty-five annual installments with
per cent interest per annun on the principal
sum remaining unpaid. This would make
available for use for District purposes. after
providing for the repayment Of two INSTALL
Ments, $685., 500 of District revenues and a like
sum from the United States, and would not only
relieve the Commissioners from embarrass-
ments incident to providing for the payment Of
such large sums al now required. but would
enable them to use the bulk Of those amounts
for current purposes.
BY the act Of beptember 81, 1850 the District
II required to Reimburse to the treasurer a the
United States in four equal annual instaIlments,
With interest at psr cent per snnum, one
half Of The amount Of the cost Of land taken
! and other expenses incident to the estabEsh-
ment and maintenance Of the Rock Greek Park.
The Commissioners contend, ON the ssme
grounds taken by them in regard TO the Zoolog.
tcsl Pask, that no portion Of these expenSsa
ahould be paid by the District Of Columbia,
but also urge that II Congress should continue
the enactmsnt in this respect that the smount1
chargssble to the District On this account b
