An Extraordinary Discovery of Gold.
20,000,000 TONS OF QUARTZ. (Per Press Association.) Hobart, This} Day. A marvellous gold discovery is reported from a locality near Mount Lyell. A gentleman named Samnels, addressing a meeting, stated that a survey of the find disclosed twenty million tons of stone, and he offered to forfeit £500 to any charitable institution if any man failed to get a prospect from a dish of stuff. The officials of the Survey Department think the man's story is worthy of some credence.
