Dawn of a Better Day gold mine in Whispering Gully
Prospector Archibald Taylor and partner R Kelly report gold finds in Whispering Gully with reef and alluvial showings. Exhibits samples valued at £3 10s and finer pieces in G and E Darks window. Taylor, noted prospector with North Queensland and Cape York fields, plans to float a company to exploit the find titled The Dawn of a Better Day. Other prospectors in the auriferous area foresee more activity soon as locals recall past gold yields.
