To the east of Gulgong a new lead is reported as situated near Homer’s Paddock. It is called the Red, White and Blue and the prospects are stated to be ¼ dwt to the dish, the depth 150 feet and dry. There is little doubt but that a payable lead having for its source the rich Old Surface Hill exists in the locality and may think this is the lead. The supposed line is fully occupied and work will be at once commenced.
