The discovery was made by some workmen, who reside re-side on the island, and although no experts have as yet analysed the strength or purity of this spring, there is every reason to believe that it will be utilized, and will be a great boon to the whole of Shetland, for some of the islands were often badly orf for paraffin during the groat sea iftoru,a, which are so common during the winter win-ter months.
