Expected Gold Find.
PALMEESTON NORTH
This day.
For a considerable time a party of prospectors under the command of an expailenced nrner named Rankin, have been searching for gold in the gullies and creeks of the Tevarua Ranges. So far they have found only small and not payable quantities. R;nkinis convinced of a rich vein somewhere in the vicinity. The party toiled in hope until the provisions gave out On Wednesday a meeting of the Municipal men of Pplmerston took place who ordered the party to thoroughly test the matter, and guaranteed the storekeeper provisions for the party for three months. The place of search being made is a gorge fourteen miles from Palmerston. The party are sanguine of [ultimate success. The party -were out through the recent wretched weather, and as may be expected they experienced some privations, and the whole of the pioneers suffer from rheumatism. They have so far expended £50 in the venture, and now their efforts are being; backed. They start away again on Sunday.
