The Inangahua Herald, of Tuesday, reports the finding of another nugget of lOoz weight, at some now alluvial workings, but will not vouch for the fact.
The writer of " Passing N«4fl^ the Otago Witness, referring to twfcloly Land as a rising rival to the colonies m the East, says : — " The railway from Alexandria to the Persian Gulf will bass right through the old Garden of Eden; which we should not be a bit surprised to see turned into a people's park, with building allotments all around it, and the adjacent plains of Bagdad cut up into deferred payment sections. Only fancy corner lots at Jerusalem and desirable suburban sections pn the Mount of Olives ! What advertisements for the daily Press ! What chances for the descendants of the ' lost tribes !' . What glowing imagery 1 What grand old historical associations about a nice little squatting property on Mount Tabor, on the hills of Gilboa, and 53 sections m the plains of Jezreel ! And this is what we are coming to.
