“Meekatharra is a rising mining centre which has come rapidly to the fore of late. It is situated about 25 miles north of Nannine to the east of the Abbott’s road in the ranges, and ten miles from Garden Gully. The prospector’s claim has a well-de fi  ned reef of blue sugary quartz showing fi  ne gold, and another, a parallel reef to the eastward from 10ft to 12ft through. This claim was lately sold by Soich and Party, the prospectors, to Mr L. Darlot, who purchased with a view to fl  otation on the English market”.
