RICH GOLD-BEARING QUARTZ.
Wellington, This day. Among the exhibits on the table at the Philosophical Society's meeting last night were about two pounds of quartz taken from a point between Lowery Bay and Pencarrow lighthouse, near Wellington, which Dr Hector said had been treated and found to contain gold at the rate of G or 7 ounces to the ton. Dr Hector added that the breaks were all fresh, he himself having made them, but that, beyond that, he could say nothing about the find except that the quartz had a very close resemblance to that of the Wealth of Nations mine at Reef ton.
