NEWTON COUNTY GOLD MINE.

Goodland Plaindealer: Rumor came to town last Saturday morning, that gold was being pumped from a2B ft., well at Percy. A sample of the alleged gold was brought to town to be tested. It was tested, and the expert who did the job is very reticent in regard to the matter, but admits that the substance is the yellow metal.
