PROSPECTOR'S FIND ON WEST COAST. (special to "the press.' 1 ) GREYMOUTH, January 10. A find of a nugget of gold, weighing two ounces nine dwfc., by Mr Rasmussen, is reported; from the Moonlight district. The gold is a very rugged piece, nearly two inches in length, and oval in shape. A piece of rich-looking quartz carrying visible gold was also discovered by Mr. Rasmussen in thei same locality. The Moonlight district has been the location in past years of the discovery' of many valuable nuggets. Two golddiggers, over a quarter of a century ago, unearthed one of the richest pieces or gold ever found on the West Coast in the same locality. The theory of experts is that the nuggets have become detached from a rich quartz reef, but where the reef is located is stilt one of the many mysteries associated with the hidden treasure which remain to bei solved. j
