was under fun Roadway when the
noise alluded TO was heard The hands
quickly qulnchCd the flames and searched
but the dog could not be found. II was
taken for granted that the pct had been
burned to ciuders and he was given up as
lost. The ire was rekindled and the
butchcring work was proceeded with. a

with dirt and SCOT, he was whining on

Augusta Herald: Something of O quiet
sensation is known among few young
men of the city, and the news will come
out in fuller shapein a few days. IL is no
less than thc discovery, near Augusta.
somewhere not far from the boundary
line Of Columbia and Richmond counties,
Of rich deposit of gold. The young
man who has located the deposit is posi-
tive that there is gold there in paving
quantities. II is known that he is now
crying to raise the money with which to
endeavOr to purchase the land.
he refuses TO give Information about
the matter, because, he says, if
hey does, he viii not reap the benefits of
his find. He hopes to secure the money
and work the mine, if nine it can be
called. II is known that bits Of gold ore
have been picked up in streams west Of
the city, and il has all along been main
i'll big quantities. The story is old in Au-
gusta of how one man has made a living
by looking out for gold in the streams Of
the section alluded TO. But these stories
have never attracted any amount of at
tentiOn-at any rate no alleged deposits
have been worked with any degree of sue
cess.
