• Notes

  1898 'A PROSPECTING TOUR In the mail train yesterday Mr. John G. Dunn, the discoverer of the famous Wealth of 'Nations mine, returned to Coolgardie after an absence of about four years. He is accompanied by his brother. William Dunn, and comes to undertake another prospecting' tour in the interests of an influential Perth syndicate, of which Mr. Alex Forrest, M.L.A.is a prominent member. He is preparing a well equipped party, including two Afghans and a number of camels, and will be absent, from Coolgardie for about six months- A start will be made about Saturday. The party will travel due north to Mount Holme, and if no success is met with in that direction it will turn eastwards towards Seuth Australia, perhaps going as far as Oodnadatta. Mr Dunn claims to have prospected the last mentioned route six years ago,and proved it to be auriferous. He hopes to make discoveries which will cause as great excitement as the Wealth of Nations find did. [1]
