THE QUEST FOR GOLD.
WAKAMARINA REVIVAL. Jii common with other well-known goldfields, the Wakamarina Valley dißKings are experiencing a revival on a small scalcj says tho Marlborough Express. Several small parties, largely, composed of men who can find no other work, are engaged in the vicinity of the old workings, but nothing wildly exciting had yet been discovered. All the interest up to now has been in alluvial gold, but there is talk of the Golden Bar Consolidated mine and battery resuming operations with a capital of £IO,OOO. There is, however, nothing very definite about tho information and the report is denied in one quarter. In the early days the Wakamarina and its tributaries yielded gold to the value of about £1,250,000.
