Vm HE GOLD DIGGER'S WATCH, IT STANDS SOME VERY ROUGH USAGE. AN ALARMING CAMEL ACCIDENT AT COOLGARDIE. Mr William Dunn writes as follows to the Waterbury Watch Company, Margaret-street, Sydney, from Crystal Brook, Guyra, New South Wales :— u I wish togire you information in reference to the quick-winding Waterbury Watch which I purchased at your establishment in 1392. I have been to the centre of West Australia, prospecting in new country for fifteen months. The watch was all the time subjected to very rough usage, but still it kept very accurate time. I was wearing it when a CAMEL BOLTED WITH ME THROUGH THE MAfN STREET OF COOLGARDIE. It was a young camel, and had never been ridden before. It ran away with me, and suddenly lay down, the shock being somewhat similar to a railway collision; but it never interfered with the watch. I have been over there ' dry blowing * for alluvial gold. It is one of the most dirty, kinds of work that a watch can be put to, but it did not interfere in anv way with my Waterbury, and I must say it is A BEAUTIFUL TIMEKEEPER—indeed, I would never think of carrying any other. I am well-known over there, being one of the prospectors of the ■ Brilliant Gold Reef,' 25 miles north of Coolgardie. lam also a wellknown New England prospector.'* THE NEW WATERBURYS WIND IN FIVE SECONDS. THEY CAN BE REPAIRED AT A NOMINAL COST. IN GOLD-FILLEOysTLVER OR NICKEL CASES., PRICES FROM 133 64 TO £5 ss,
