According to the somewhat meagre details to hand, it appears that a. well-known Russell firm has been ongaged in clearing some vacant land quite el'oso to the town itself. While clearing operations were in progress the uprooting of some gorge led to the discovery L of highly-coloured stone, which upon analysis proved to be rich in mineral. Further investigation led to the realisation of the fact that a spur running down almost to the sea frontage possesses a wonderfully rich reef. Some excitement prevails over the renorted discovery, and, according to a gentleman who has seon the locality, it is the richest gold find 'in the Dominion. The land on which the reef is situated is owned by natives, and a* syndicate is negotiating for a lease.
