A local young nmn, Mr. L. G. Naylor, has every reason to Ik thankful for tho inclination which seized him the other day to go out shooting rabbits (says llio Dunstan "Times"), as it led to his finding a remarkably rich patch of gold. While walking across the commonage at Clyde, Naylor observed something shining on the surface of tho 'ground, and on picking it up was surprised to find that it was a liugget' of gold of somo two or three ounces. Making further examination of the ground at the spot lie was astonished, and, needless to say, delighted to find several other small nuggets. On prosecuting his search still further by medium of a pocket-knife, still more of the precious metal was' brought to light. The fortunate finder lost little timo in bagging nnd conveying the dirt in tho vicinity into Clyde, and the subsequent wash-up .yielded somo 38 ounces of gold. Unfortunately, l>eyond a radius of some six feet square not a particle of gold was found, and it is evident that tho find was a plant. Wnikeri Valley was the scone of considerable mining in the early days, nnd some excellent yields of gold wevo obtained there.
