THE ARLTUNGA GOLD FIELD.
PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. Received 8, 5.0 p.m. London, March 7. The South Australian Agent-General has cabled his government asking for reliable information as to the Arltunga gold field. Tho Daily Mail's Sydney correspondent mentions in his report of tho discovery, that there is abundant gold, the report referring to hills of gold which only need quarrying. He also states that the assays made at Adelaide show extraordinary richness. The Pall Mall Gaz itte .says that hills of gold sounds like a tall order, but, remembering Mount Morgan, there would be nothing extraordinary if Arltunga should prove as rich as scores of other Australian tiolda. Nevertheless it advises a cautious acceptance of the picturesque and ably exaggerated reports. The Westminster Gazette says that a quarry of gold is a phrase distasteful to English investors, yet hills of gold are not novelties in Australia.
