Erratic Actions of a Well Known Citizen.

Wm H. King, who lives about two miles west of town, just beyond the Irwin tile mill, is working at what is oertainly a new vooation in Jasper oounty. He is digging for gold and digging hard and deep. He has several large holes dag, some of them said to be 15 feet deep. He proposes to sink “counter shafts” “headings” upper and lower levels, and whatever other nature of hole is required in the regular mining voobulary, bnt is also laying hia plans for putting in a stamp mill. So far he seems not to have struok 'pay dirt” very extensively, bnt when he unearthed a number of pennies someone had slyly oovered in the dirt in the bottom of one of his diggings, he said it was not the kind he expeoted to find bnt considered it a good sign. Mr. King talks all right on most other snbjeots, as we are informed. Though on some others his aotions are as erratio as his gold mining experiments,
