Gold Mine Discovered

Some weeks ago gold was discovered upon the farm of Walter Reynolds, in West Nottingham, near New Bridge. Sediment from the bottom of a spring on the place was sent to the Government officials at Washington D.C., for analysis. This week a letter was received stating that it tested 20 per cent. gold and 6 per cent. silver, and would have been rated higher had not a quantity of dirt been mixed with it. Since this has been made public several moneyed men have interested themselves in the matter; and it is probable that the vein will be opened in the near future. Neighbors and friends of Mr. Reynolds are congratulating him upon his good luck.
