A rich vein of goid has been found in
Raiding county, ten miles from Carters
viilc, and ten miles from Dallas. It runs
in a northwest direction, and up to the
present time has been worked two miles
along the line of strike, and seems to be
uniformly rich till along. It is what is
knowh to all mining experts and civil en
gineers as a decomposed tallcose schist,
and the goid is being found in ribbons of
quartz to the depth of thirty-five and
forty feet. It is worth about SIOO a ton,
and is of a rather mixed quality, being
very fine in some parts and very coarse in
others. T. B. Marriott and J. H. Feare
have sunk a shall on the spot where Mr.
Feare first saw the gold cropping out at

forty feet in depth and twenty-five feet
each way from the base of the shaft. The
metal they have taken out so fat- will
average about st>n per ton. for out of a
large, number of assays the uniform value
is about that. Last week, in a special
assay of a large amount of quartz, the
metal found was worth tit least SB,OOO per
ton. This is the greatest value yet ob
tained, and Mr. Marriot says that it ar
gues well for the great prices that will
yet be paid for the gold.
