Golden Goolgardie!
News come3 from Perth that between fever and thirst the Coolgardie goldfields are gaining anything but enviable notoriety. Many camps are ravaged by typhoid.
A party of minors, who had sold their claim at Dundas for £5,000, started to walk to Coolgardie. They got as far as a placo called Bandy Soak, 55 miles from Coolgardie, and discovered their water had given out. Two named McNalty and O'Connor went in search of water. Their clothes and swags were afterwards found thrown about, and it is supposed the unfortunate men became delirious, wandered away and perished miserably.
