ARKANSAS GOLD DISCOVERY.
Houston, Aug. 11.—Interest in the
discovery of metal by Geo. H. Hayes
increases fast. Several tests have
been made of the metal and the con
census of opinion is that it is silver
with a small per cent of gold. They
dug down into a solid lead of the
stuff today.
Land which six days ago would have
sold for $25 an acre cannot now be
purchased for $100. People from all
parts of the country have visited
the well and examined the sparkling
metal, and every one is of opinion
that nothing has ever been found be
fore in Perry county like it. A num
ber of acres of land have already
changed hands at a large price.
Geo. W. Hayes has been offered a
large sum of money by a Little Rock
capitalist for his laud, upon which the
discovery was made.

owners’ petition for same to St. Louis

Alderman Bailey made a report of
the proceeds of the sale of one of the

While nothing official has been done,
it is regarded as strongly probable
that the name of J. M. Stayton will be
substituted for that of O. D. Watson
: upon the new Front Street Improve
ment commission, due to a desire to
j have a legal adviser upon the mem
' bership of that body.
