"Whispering" in Cromwell.
Some amusing aspects of the Cromwell gold boom were related to a Dunedin Evening Star reporter by Mr. R. D. Coghill, who has just returned to Dunedin after a busy week spent in the Central Otago townsh'ip. Mr. Coghill safd that the whole population of Cromwell, including, of course, • the visitors, seemed to be split up into cliques whose demeanour suggested that they were budding secret societies. Every hotel bedroom was apparently the headquarters for a band of conspirators, who were careful to carry on their conversation in low tone. In the main street the approach of a visdtor was sufficient to interrupt for the time being the flow of excited but . subdued interchange of ideas and inspirations, while out on the famous flat itself the investigations of neighbouring parties were watched with flattering interest. "Cromwell at the present tdme must be easily the most fascinating place in New Zealand," concluded Mr. Coghill.
