GOLD RUSH FIND.
JEWEL CASKET'S SECRET.
DIAMOND NECKLET WORTH £470
Remarkable discoveries of the value of long-neglected family treasures are being made as a result of the rush to sell gold. A nobleman who offered a London jeweller a gold cake basket for sale was told that it would probably fetch £IO,OOO in the United States. An aged woman sold a jewel case for £33, and in a secret drawer, of which she knew nothing, was found a diamond necklet, for which she was paid £470 more. Great Britain's export of sovereigns and halfsovereigns jumped from £215,479 in January to nearly £3,000,000 next month, and in four days she sold abroad £1,000,000 in sovereigns and balf-sovereigns.
