MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.

but supposed that such miracles OF nature

However It is known many that a veritable
mountain OF golden exists Queensland. the
sunny State OF the new Australian commonwealth.
This mountain is being tunnelled and levelled
and its stone crushed and passed through chemi-
cal processes. In year over three hundred and
twenty-three thousand ounces of pure gold
extracted and the value of the mine once rose in
the share market to more than seventeen millions
