A GOOD STRIKE
WEST COAST GOLD-SEEKERS. (Per United Press Association). Greymouth, December 21. Subsidized prospectors, Fiddes and Meikles, obtained in a fortnight over 69 ounces of gold from a quartz leader in the Moonlight district in the Paparoa range near Blackball. . Gold worth £5OO was brought here to-day. It was exceedingly coarse. Sixty pounds of quartz yielded most of it, but a dish of rubble gave only four ounces. The party expect the leader to continue into the main lode which is already located, and so far goes up to 21 dwts a ton. Another party of prospectors have
just rediscovered the lost “Taffy” leader in Ten Mile Creek in the same district, yielding an ounce and a-half per ton.
