A LOCAL KLONDIKE.

Excitement continues to prevail in
an acute degree near Purdam Springs
north of Little Rock, Ark, over the
discovery of gold. Persons from Gin
cinnati and elsewhere have been buy
ing up tracts of land in that vicinity

gone about 1t quietly, and without
manifesting disposition to get their
names into the papers, and this fact
strengthens the belief in the merit Of
the developments so far. If the sub
dued excitement breaks forth in its
