No additional information has transpired since Saturday to throw further light on the new gold discovery. Campbell stud maintains the greatest reserve, and all the reports as to the correct locality of the rich finds must only be regarded with extreme caution. Time only will reveal it. The statement, we may observe, which obtains most credence is that Campbell and his mates (who accompanied, for some time, Harrington in his explorations) after separating from them, came upon the gold about the head of Lake Wakatip, or in the district lying between it and the Te Anau Lake. This would increase the distance from Invercargill to something like one hundred miles, in place of sixty, as Campbell himself states. As before hinted, however, nothing definite is yet known of the precise locality, but the nature of the geld procured almost conclusively points to the fact that a new goldfield of a rich and extensive character is on the eve of being opened up.
