I WONDERFUL GOLD DISCOVERIES.
A NUGGET HEAVIER THAN A MANGAN
LIFT.
A wonderful discovery of gold has been
made at Coolgardie. A man named Elliott,
a farmer from Avoca in Victoria, and five
mates, have discovered a promising cap of a
reef nine miles south of East Coolgardie,
and in four weeks dollied out 4,000 oz.,
exclusive of two specimens, one being a
foot long and heavier than a man can lift,
and the other Oin. cubic measurement, for
which Elliott paid his mates £2,000 each for
their shares.
The party had refused an offer of £26,000
for their block, and had kept the secret of
their wondrous find until now.
