FORTUNE'S WHEEL.
Those were great days, the veteran tells you with a sigh. Whero aye the men who made the fortunes, the happy discoverers who though their future secure ? Jones, who sold his share in the Great Bunkum for £25,000 . He's cutting wood in tho jarrah country now, earning 9s a day. I met him down south last week. Brown ? Brown built a big house at Perth, but someono else lives in it now, and Brown goes forth a ruined man. Robinson ? He went to London with £50,000 two years ago. Last week I met him again at Mount Morgan fitting out a camel team with the last few pounds left. How did the money go ? Better not ask.
