A farmer near Gold Hill while plowing
his corn crop few days ego, plowed nT
come very rich gold quartz specimens
Some Of them weighing several pounds
and one OF them estimated TO be- worth
at least $50. One looked TO be fully
one half gold and the size and shape Of 4
tin cup cut in halves. The ore resembles
the old Gold Hill Pocket" in color and
texture. The gold was coarser and
looked to be more solid. This may prove
another bonanza equal TO the one from
which Gold Hill takes It's name. Thi'
find is no exaggeration. The farmer
wishes the locstions not made public aud
We think in this he is wise.-News.
