AUSTRALIAN GOLD
TENNANT'S CREEK OCCASION
MELBOURNE, August 3.
Gold production at Tennant's Creek, Central Australia, has reached the £.100,000 mark since the discovery of the field in. 1924. It is proposed to mark the occasion with a suitable demonstration, features of which will be an aboriginal corroboree, a pioneers' dinner, bonfires; and an all-night dance.
The. first gold was found by a local postal employee in 1924, within 100 yards of the track blazed by the explorer Stuart in 1861. Several rich crushings last week have taken the gold output well beyond the £100,000 mark.
