GOLD DISCOVERY AT STEWART'S ISLAND.
(by telegraph. ) Invercargill, Dec. 3.
The recent discovery of an apparently rich gold-bearing reef at Port William, Stewart's Island, is already attracting considerable attention. Already a number of miners and Bluff and Invercargill residents are on the spot, and the Kakanui will tormorrow convey thither several more. The information yet to hand is somewhat meagre, but there appears to be no doubt that a gold-bearing reef has been found. The discoverer, however, is keeping the matter as quiet as possible. Those who have seen the specimen in his poseession distinctly say that gold is plainly perceptible.
