Gold, mining operations, and emigration appear

lie attention. The quantity of gold, and its rapid In
crease begins to have its effect rise in the value
of real estate but cannot yet be traced in any other
respect. 91,2S7 ounces of gold, worth at the Co
lonal price 1904 900, arrived from Australia last
week and a considerable quantity has reached
England during the present week. The existence
of gold in Van Diemans Land is confirmed That
gold is found in England, in North Devonshire, is
also beyond all doubt but the point has yet to be
ascertained whether it be collected in sufficient
quantities. to pay the expense of mining operations

tory as well as geological probability, are in favor
of the supposition that it can Several of nurse
ry rhymes and legends have their origin in the for
mer existence of the gold in England; and we are
told that during different periods of cur history
great quantities of gold have been found in Devon
shire. Edward LII. is said to have obtained gold
enough from this source to defray the cost of one
of his campaigns. We know also that gold orna-
ments have been frequently found in the tombs of
the ancient Britons. And very few yearsago, during
the geological survey of Great Britain, Sir H DE LA

specimens Of gold in North Devon We believe that
