SEQUEL TO THE ROUGEMONT STORIES. A MINING SYNDICATE FORMED.
[PEESS ASSOCIATION.] (Received September 24, 9.12 a.m.) London, 23rd September. A syndicate has been formed on the strength of M. de Rougemont's statements that goldfields of great wealth exist in the unexplored portions of Australia. De Rougemont declares that it is intended to apply to the Government for a reward for the discovery of three distinct fields. These areas the syndicate asserts surpass anything previously discovered in Australia. In a letter to the Daily Chronicle Mr. David Carnegie subjects M. de Rougemout to sharp criticism, and appeals to Mr. W. H. Fielkins, who acted as second in command of the Giles expedition, to deny that Giles fired upon De Rougemont.
