At several localities in Franklin and
Georgetown townships, in the hills, COLA
has been found during the past ten
years. The finds have been such as,
few years ago, to lead 10 the organiza-
ton of company at Louisville to prose
cute the search for the precious meta.
This company was successful in finding
gold in the hills of Franklin township,
Floyd county and in the contiguous
hills in Georgetown township, but not
In sufficiently paying quantities TO JUS
tify the purchase of costly machinery.
The gold is found in both a dark and
light quartz, and at some distance be-
low the surface. A few days ago Mr..
William White. living in the Franklin
township hills, while engaged in digging
a well. found several pieces of the gold
bearing quartz, the deposits being dis
tinctly marked. and the gold being of
a rich quality. Mr.. White has no doubt
that in the quartz lying below gold viii
yet be found in paying quantities. The
metal has been found in the black
quartz on several farms adjoining that
Of Mr. White. 1t is possible that this
latest discovery may lead to more thor
ough investigation than has yet been
made. and citizens in the neighbOrhOOd
are sanguine that if such search is pros
ecuted gold in paying quantities will

turns for mis- labor. Gold he knew of
in the hills of Brown, but how to get it
was the question with him as ii still is
with many in the vicinity Of the Pence
brothers ranch. This young man
drifted about in Kansas and Nebraska.
but finally settled down in the vicinity
of the Cherokee nation. and after remain
ing there for some time he met many of
the Indians and became very friendly.
He finally met a typical specimen of

was mutual In fact, it was what would
be called out East a case Of love at first
Sight \ marriage followed and later

lily arrived in this city and went out to
the young mans home in Brown county.

clared in the presence Of County Auditor

italists en- route for two weeks trip
TO Manhattan, Mon Their object is to
inspec- plant owned by them where
5000 900 is invested. Mr.. Cook, while
visiting in New York about three years
ago. was induced to buy shares in a com
pany proposing a scheme TO buy a large
tract of western land and raise crops Of
barley, wheat and oats for their own
use. They bought 10000 acres in Mon
Jana and founded the city of Manhattan.
During the three years the crops were
very favorable and Mr.. Cook has sam
pies of this years crop at his office in

this for the trip. They will have
every luxury in the way of liquid and
solid refreshments, including prairie
chicken, mountain grouse and duck in
abundance. The trip viii be a most
pleasant one as the gentlemen cOmpOs-
ing the party are all well educated men
and have seen much of the world and
have an abundance of this worlds goods,
with the taste and willingness TO use
it for a good time. The party will rep
resent a total wealth of about $4,000, 600.
Mr.. Cook will leave on his trip with
who hope that he may be very success
full in this venture and enjoy a pleasant
trip. They point with pride at all he
has done for this city, and success to
him in outside investments is also cheer
full news to them at all times.-Evans-
