A MAN STBIKES A REEF IN HIS GARDEN. (Per Press Association.) Sydnhy, December 21. The drought, which generaUy spells anything but good fortune, has proved a godsend to one man residing at Currajong, near Parkes. Having run out of water, he began to sink a weU in his garden, and before going far ran foul of a reef. The first blow of tbe pick broke off a piece of immensely rich stone containing about 14 ounces of gold, and two dishes of stuff taken from the leader is estimated to contain 40 ounces. He contented himself without searching further for water, and went and sold half the interest iv the weU.
