Diamond Drill Prospecting for Gold.
Some excitement prevailed in BallaraEast when ii became known that the diamond drill at work there had struck gold) bearing quartz at a depth of 870 ft. Where boring operations are being carried on the ground has already been proved by mining companies to a depth of 600 ft, and not a few old miners were long of the opinion that diamond drill would ti of no avail in the work of further prospecting, The quartz struck, however, shows apparently that the " knowing ones" have been all astray in their predictions, and that the many persons who held the opinion that although many thousands of ounces of gold have since the good old days preceding the Eureka riots up to the present tune been raised in Ballarat East, there are still immense quantities of treasure yet remaining unearthed within the town boundaries, it appears that the gold struck is part of the celebrated Indicator lead, and if a good run of payable stone be obtained by the first company that sinks on the "find" of the diamond drill, a strong revival will at once set in. Of course miners are not agreed on the point as to whether the quartz found by the drill is a large body, or otherwise, but the majority are of opinion that, judging by the geographical history of .the locality, the stone will prove to be a big body. Upon Inking the quartz from the tubing it was pronounced a valuable and highly sati&fao tory ene.
