An instance of rare good fortune is reported to the “ Ballarat Evening Mail” as having befallen a clerk in the Government employ at Sandhurst. Having purchased 1000 shares at 6d per share, within a few days he was able to sell out at £6 per share, netting £6OOO. Being placed beyond the necessity for toil, the fortunate civil servant resigned his position, “ cut ” speculation, and is now a happy gentleman at large.
