DEEP LEADS.
The questions are frequently pur to us What about deep lead? in this part of the Mount Ida G-oldfield ? I fas any attempt been yet made to test the fact <f,f their existence or non-existence in this immediate .neighborhood ? We can only say that .we should be glad indeed were an effort, and a united effort, to be made to solve the problem, and set the matter at rest at once an . for ever. No one will, we think, deny the fact that the discovery of a deep lead or deep leads in this locality would contribute in' no small decree, not only to the present benefit and ad antageof this towu and district, but would, at the same time, have t e effect of-giving it a prominence which no purely alluvial workings can be supposed to lay claim to. The question affects the business people of this town more, perhaps, than any other portion of the community, and it behoves them to take steps to bring the matter to an issue. .The cost of an experiment in the direction to which we have alluded would, at the worst, cost but little, while its success would confer benefits incalculable. The boring rods can be bad for the mere asking, and a subscription of a few shillings per week for some few months would determine the matter for aye or for nay. We commend the subject to the consideration of the business men of the town, and to such others of our readers as have.a real interest in the future of the district.
