Reported Discovery of Alluvial Gold on the East Coast. — We were in-" formed last night that alluvial gold has been discovered on the East Coast, and the discoverers are confident that the place at which the gold was found will prove a most productive field. On Thursday three miners, who have been prospecting on the East Coast, came in to Shortland Town bringing with them gold which they had obtained by washing. The gold was at once taken to the Eesident Magistrate and Warden, Major Eeddell, and a prospecting claim and protection applied for.
