£6OOO IN GOLD.
RICH FIND IN A HOT PLACE. FORTUNE FOR THREE MEN. Marble Bar, whose only claim to distinction 'has been that it is the hottest place in Australia, now has real fame, says a Perth paper. Rich gold has been fo-und in its neighbourhood. From 13 kerosene tins of “rubble, - ’ two prospectors have won £6OOO worth of gold. Two youths, named Boyd and Robinson, and a veteran prospector named Starr are associated with the most prominent of recent linds known as Halley’s Comet Mine. The two younger men arranged to continue working one show, from which payable returns were being consistently won, while Starr was deputed to 'continue search in the surrounding country. His discovery of “ The Comet ” has assured fortune for the trio, whose romantic and spectacular turn of luck is regarded as a lilting reward for painstaking and energetic effort. While being led through Kingston-on-Thames a camel decided to rest his weary bones, and sitting down in the middle of the road held up the rest of the traffic for several minutes.
