NEW GOLDFIELD.
TENNANT'S CREEK SUCCESS
MELBOURNE, August 3.
As the value of gold produced at Tennant's Creek, Central Australia, has exceeded £100,000 since discovery of the field in 1924, it is proposed to mark the occasion with a suitable demonstration. Features will be an aboriginal corroboree, a pioneers' dinner, bonfires and an all-night dance.
The first gold was found by a local postal employee within 100 yards of a track blazed'by the explorer Stuart in 1801. Several rich crusliings last week have taken the output well beyond £100,000.
