Rumours from Tavua Hint at Rich Find.

From Our Own Correspondent.

BA, Jan. 14.

EXCITEMENT has been caused by gold finds at Tavua and a number of claims have been pegged out by European prospectors. They are not let ting much information leak out, but we hope they are successful and that in a few months’ time it will be a paying proposition.

Another find has been reported near Penang and, if the rumours concerning these two discoveries are true, Fiji will soon be the scene of a “rush.”

At present, very little authentic infor mation is available.
