Golden Coolgardle.
A remarkably rich finjd has been made 12 miles from the Wealth of Nations mine. The reef was struck by a party of "new chums," and is several feet wide. The stone is wonderfully rich, and is studded with coarse gold. Two block have been pegged out, and £1000 has been refused for a one-sixth shave. A large number are going to the field to peg out claims. The rich find near the Wealth of Nations was made Jn a sensational manner. Four new arrivals were out prospecting, and one got lost in the bush. While wandering about, he fell over some logs and bouldera. He examined the latter, and found they contained rich gold,, tracing the signs to the outcrop 200 yards away. He was discovered by his com* panions next day, and they pegged out a claim. In some specimens the stone is fairly hung together with gold.— Press Association.
