The Kimberley Goldfields
Speaking of bhe msh to Kimberley/;;---the Argus says :— " Miners know mbre- .,-. than we do about rushes, and it wotdsJr' be . like carrying coal to Newfcastleto offer advice to^ them^ They know ; quite well how rosbea are created*; A'runholder sets it going. He find's Hi nugget, oi sayg he 'finds one,, and; wires the lie to Brisbane, ta and to Melbourne. The nearest store-, keeper backs up the lie. The; smell l of alluvial gold^- is enough for the wanderingidigger. He ia off, and there is no- holding him back. There may be a good goldneld at Kimberley, but \ there are no proofs yet such as would satisfy a prudent man. Let the unemployed who have been making such a noise lately in Adelaide and "Sydneytry their luck there. Let the_ Salvation j Army tramp go on a howl to ' North Australia, But for men getting good Images to throw up their billets^ go .:, 'oh a wild gooae .chase is little short of 'madness." y^'" Received July 3, 1*15 a.m. Mbebouenk, July-2. ' ? 'batest accounts to hand regarding the Kimberley gold field are of a contradictory nature. .".
