GOLD AND SILVER
REEF DISCOVERED. HAMILTON, Monday. While fossicking in the hills on the Waikato Land Settlement Society’s property at Whatawhata, ten miles west of Hamilton, three amateur prospectors discovered a reef showing in a preliminary assay small quantities of gold and silver. This area is not generally regarded as gold-bearing,' but in view of the assay results it is considered possible that a richer reef may be found in the locality. Further samples have been sent to the James School of Mines, and when the results are to hand the investigations will be continued. The discovery was made under unusual circumstances, in that the location of the reef was revealed to one of the prospectors by his late father in a dream. When it was found its characteristics corresponded with those of the dream reef.—(P.A.)
