DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
A DEAD MAN'S PATCH.
PROSPECTOR'S I.TXCKY STRIKE
(Received 12.30 p.m.)
MELBOURNE, this day.
Fifteen years ago Edwin Holloway showed specimens of rich gold which he reported he had discovered at Warrandyte. Within a week he died through bursting a blood vessel without disclosing the whereabouts of the find.
Exhaustive searches since failed to locate the find, until last Tuesday, when three men from Melbourne, working throughout the night, announced that they had again discovered the lost reef. They claimed it to be a continuation of the lode in the Caledonian mine from which thousands of ounces of gold have been taken.—(A. and N.Z.)
