Gold at Mount Egmont.
(By Telegraph/—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. Prospecting has intermittently been going on for years for gold on the westerly base of Mount Egmont, and from time to time indications of promising-looking quartz have been obtained, but no real success attended the work until quite recently. Samples of splendid quartz are now in town, with gold showing freely all through. The find was made by New Plymouth workmen, who were in the habit of putting in their spare time fossicking. Assays show very high results, and it is stated that a large body of stone is showing. The locality has been.kept- a close secret, but it is known to be within the Egmont National Park Reserve, and the Government refuse permission to work therein. It is understood that efforts are now being made to induce the Government to allow the prospecting of the reef to be carried on to prove the extent of the find.
