THIS GRAIN TRULY GOLDEN"
How Discovery Of Prolific Gold Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time Is in the
KOIar district (Nlysore stRte) of India.
Discovery of it was made In a curious
way.
In prosperous years, when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest Of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
Iy mvstiAed the natives, who ascrIbed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grain, derived from the gravelly
soil. lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (fOr subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence, at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the gravels of the valley were
rich In gold, brought down from the
mountains. Since then the KOlar dis
trct has contributed largely to the
worlds supply OF the yellow metal.
