GOLD FEVER IN AUSTRALIA.
Another Bendigo Rush. TRAPPER'S RICH FIND United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyrlch C (Received August 3. 5.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE, August 3. A couple of days ago, Arthur Goltz picked up a slug of gold, weighing about 20oz. in a forest reserve, near Tarnagulla, a neighbourhood formerly famous for rich claims, from which fortunes were won. Goltz had been trapping opossums, and while making his way home he noticed gold showing. A rush has now set in. Motor cars, lorries and horse drawn vehicles, each loaded with men, armed with picks and axes, are frantically making for the scene, which is thirty-two miles from Bendigo. Hundreds of acres of virgin ground are available.
