THE BULLFINCH MINE.

The Bullfinch field is twenty-two miles from Southern Cross. The latter itself has a chapter in the history of miniug booms and gold rushes, and it has been the base from which an army of prospectors was victualled and supplied. As the railway was pushed out tho town lapsed into semi-oblivion until the present revival. Months ago a find at Bullfinch began to attract attention, but the boom in reality is barely a month old. Now tho town is overrun with visitors, the hotels and other business places being crammed with customers. Tho Minos Office is packed with men applving for leases or transacting other mining business. The telegraph officials aro overwhelmed by the rush of urgent work. Everywhere iB seen tho pink flash of " urgent" telegrams in tho hands of men who are dealing in mines or in options which mav or may not represent mines. Rushing through tho streets aro motor cars and other vehicles going to or coming from the Bullfinch, while contingents of cyclists and pedestrians add to the evidence that tho boom for which West Australians have been waiting for years has eorao at last.
