W. G. Pearse se fait connaître comme prospecteur.

Mining.
Mr. W. G. Pearse, who is well known in North Queensland as a prospector, and also in this colony, is leaving Coolgardie for Sydney. He has been representing a very influential syndicate here for some months past. Although Mr. Pearse and his prospecting party's work has not been attended with any great success while on this field, it is no fault of his, for he is one of the few who are not afraid to push out into dry country. In a conversation with him he informs us he is in no way dissatisfied with the prospects of the field, and in answer to a question assures us he has at present no intention of saying good-bye to Coolgardie for good, but is leaving for Sydney to put in operation a scheme for his syndicate's advantage. On this errand we are sure all who know him will wish him God-speeds and a quick return. " Our party have just returned from the Norseman and," says Mr. Pearse, " I am sure she is one of the good things of this field, being a good reef from end." Mr. Anderson, a member of the syndicate, is remaining on the field to watch the interests of the syndicate of which Mr. Pearse is manager.Coolgardie Pioneer, Coolgardie, mercredi 3 avril 1895, p. 11.

Mr W. G. Pearse
The death occurred at his residence,  Mathoura road, Toorak, on March 29, of Mr. William Geake Pearse, who for
many years was known throughout the Wimmera in banking, pastoral, and agricultural circles. For 38 years he was associated with the Bank of Victoria, and was manager of the Donald branch when he retired 10 years ago to live in Melbourne. He leaves a widow, four sons (all on the land in the Donald district), and three daughters. One daughter is the wife of Mr. D. H. Crone, produce manager of Goldsbrough, Mort, and Co. Ltd., who retired from the position of president of the Carlton Football Club several months ago. Another is the wife of Dr. Harbison, of Queensland, and the third is Mrs. Spencer, whose husband was killed in the war. Mr. Pearse was a leading Freemason, being a Past Junior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge of Victoria.The Australasian, Melbourne, samedi 8 avril 1938, p. 36.
