Another Rich Gold Find.
o (Per Press Association.) Perth, This Day. There is great excitement in Pilbarra, owing to a rich discovery made under somewhat peculiar circumstances. Some Chinamen felling timber accidentally found gold stone outcropping They broke off several pieces which they took to Pilbarra. One piece four inches long and two inches thick was almost pure gold. A party of miners immediately , proceeded to tbc spot and, finding tbe reef, pegged out a claim before the Chinamen had time to return. Subsequently a rush set in and all the adjoining ground is pegged off. All agree that the stone is of extraordinary richness.
