Golden Goolgardie.
There is great* excitement on the goldfields, as the Londonderry Company has again picked up the rich shoot of gold which suddenly gave out. -•*■.; -
It wm -Struck 23ft in from the ■outh Bid«^bf the main shaft, and has been driven into 7ft. ± The gold reaches from the floor to the roof of the drive, and glistens like a jeweller's shop. Some of it is coarse, bat the bulk is finer than that met in the golden hole at the surface. The same enormous richness appear* to extend in all directions. It if estimated that already 2000oz have been taken out of the new big the shoot will prove it is /sjaeiible to §ay at present, but it li undoubtedly the ooßttauttion of
the rioh discovery first made. A rioh development is reported in the Wealth of Nations mine.
Wonderfully rich stone has also been struck at the 60ft level in the Carmine mine. It is said to almost equal the Londonderry specimens.
Reports from White Feather state that a magnificent reef is developing in the Hit or Miss mine, where lOOOoz of gold has been dollied out.
It is estimated that the new find in the Londonderry mine will yield lOOOoz to the ton.
