A Gold Find.-The Georgetown cor
respondent of the Washington Star on Tues
day gave the following Last week there
were taken IRON new shaft that has been
sunk near the Great Falls, Maryland side,
the finest specimens Of gold that have ever
been found in that section The people, and
particularly the property holders in the vi
cinity, are therefore much excited. There
appears TO be plenty of ore In sight as rich
as that taken out. The gold is supposed to
be from the same belt that runs through
North Carolina and has been taken out in
more than paying quantities People in the
region Of the Little Falls are still on the
lookout for what they term the Payne mine.
When asked TO explain how it was lost, they
reply it has never yet been found, and then
tell the following story: Years ago there
was man living in the vicinity Of the Little
Falls named Payne, who had five fingers
and a thumb on each hand. Every time he
would come to town TO purchase liquors and
necessities he would pay for them with
money obtained by trading off a rich lump
Of gold. Three and four Jumps week were
brought down. AS to where he got II Payne
was as dumb as an oyster, and though he
was frequently watched his bonanza was
never discovered Up TO his death he brought
this gold to town. When he died his secret
went with him, though it is supposed that
the precious metal he had located was close
to the Little Falls, owing 10 the fact that he
was never seen to go farther up the river
than that when gold was needed"
