Mr. Huff has sent specimens to mining companies, and after being weighed, it was found to be worth 96 per cent. It is said that other parties have made similar discoveries nearby, and the small brooks seem to be sparkling with gold dust, which has been the only means of its discovery. It is said that Mr. Huff will go to working it this fall. The many friends of Rev. Ed. Elmore and wife will be pleased to learn that a little boy has come to brighten up their life. We congratulate them on this addition to their family.
