GOLD DIVINING
AN EXPERIENCE AT EKETAHUNA.
An Eketahuna reader of THE DOMINION, | who read in a recent issue an article on the finding of cold- with the aid of a twig, writes of an experience he had not' very long ago. He' says that recently ho had occasion to sink a well. After going down 24 feet without strik- • inif water a water-diviner was sent for. After locating water, the diviner mentioned that he could also locate metal. Those presant. treated the statement as a joke. Thereupon the diviner laid his gold watch 'and chain on the ground. When he came within a foot or. two of the metal the twig began to bend and when he was directly over it the twig "completely turned round." * The writer'continues:—"To show that gold- on the person would not let him use this power he took the chain off fho watch, and as the stick started to bend someone laid the chain on his hands, thereby arresting the movement of tho . stick. ' After this the watch was put on the ground. The diviner was blindfolded and led over to ..it, and the stick immediately bent."
