OPENING A GOLDFIELD

Opening up a Goldfield.—Mr. W. T. Mortlock, of Martindale Hall, Mintaro, writes to say that he will be in Adelaide on Monday to see about opening up the Mintaro goldfield. He proposes throwing the land open to the public at noon on August 12 on similar conditions to those of the Government, except that he will reserve a portion of the field for those already on the ground.
