"WHENCE THE GOLD ?
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — A most interesting study is that of the various sources from which our gold-bearing rivers have been stocked -with the precious metal. Many people think the Kawavau and Mclyneux were slocked from one source. Ibis is not so. For it is not hard to see that the Kawarau owes its wealth to the Nevis, Arrow, Shotover, Meg, and other smaller streams. It would be interesting to put this theory to ti test by comparing the rich gold at present being dredged up by the Meg and Annie with the Nevis gold, which, by the way, is the most valuable found in New Zealand. Another proof i 3 the fact that at the junction of two goldbearing rivers the richest gold is found. Hoping that some abler pen than mine will take up this most interesting subject. — I am, etc., Studekt. Dunedin, October 23. TO THE EDITOR Sir, — " Student's " suggestion to compare the Nevis gold with the precious metal being dredged from the Kawsrau is a very good one, and will prove the fact that the gold does net come from one source,- but from several. The fact of the richest gold being found at the junction of two gold-bearing rivers goes fco prove " Student's " contention. — I am, etc., Dunedin, October 25. Interested.
