GOLD DISCOVERY
REEF NEAR HAMILTON Rich Deposits Possible LOCATION SHOWN IN DREAM (By Telegraph—Press Association.> HAMILTON, Sept. 17. While fossicking in the hills in the Waikato Land settlement Society’s property at Whatawhata, 10 miles west of Hamilton, three amateur prospectors discovered a reef showing a preliminary assay of small quantities of gold and silver. This area is not generally regarded as gold-bearing, but in view of the assay results it is considered possible that a richer reef may be found in the locality. Further samples have been sent to the Thames School of Mines and when the results are to hand investigations will be continued. The discovery was made under unusual circumstances, in that the location of the reef was revealed to one of the prospectors in n drcam by his late father. When found its characteristics corresponded with those of the dream reef.
