A Golden Mountain.
(Per Press Association.) Melbourne, June 9. The Government Geologist has reported on the discovery of 4.' golden mountain at Marysville, that the for- ' mation is sandstone, and there is no doubt the stone is of an auriferous character, but it will be necessary to thoroughly test it before working it on a large scale. Should 'the' trials prove that the average bulk will yield even a few dwts per ton, there need be no fear of ultimate success, as the available tonnage is enormous, and there are splendid facilities fox economically working the ground.
