REFUSAL OF FORTUNE
Ashburton Report Denied —;/■/ By Telegraph.—Press Association. I .' j Dunedin, September 1. The story of an alleged refusal of a fortune by a group of unemployed prospectors from Ashburton is entirely discredited in Cromwell. It is stated by one man there who is closely identified with mining interests that no group of 20 men from Ashburton or anywhere else is operating on a single claim in the district. Moreover, even if an offer of £20,000 Were made, it would be In the form of an option, and would not represent a cash ' transaction till the value of the claim had been proved, if then. ! Only one option of that figure had been mentioned at the height of the recent bpom, but since then options had been at a decided discount.
