New Gold Discovery.

L. F. Dunn returned last night from a prospecting trip. After making several rich placer locations in the Humboldt range, he went over into Central district. There he discovered a gold ledge four feet in width, and as the miners say, it was "lousy with gold." It was found about 500 feet north of the northern boundary of the Blackbird and Fellows' claims, and lies between a slate and sienite formation. He says these other claims are spurs of his mine—that he has the mine of the district. Dunn and M. S. Bonnifield are the locators. In early days it was thought that our mines of value were silver mines and little attention was paid to gold. But from valuable mines now being worked and new discoveries made in Central, Rebel Creek and Kennedy districts it seems we have most valuable gold veins. Besides hundreds of Chinamen and a great number of white men are taking out large quantities of gold from the many placer claims in this country. Dunn says the goldbugs cannot get the best of him as inside of twelve months he will have more gold than any of them.
