It is not true that the working of "the great Broken Hill silver mine for the fast six months has resulted in a loss of £37,000"; the statement is utterly false and gratuitously ignorant. Let us clearly but briefly explain the situation, and open our contemporary's eyes to what havoc combined ignorance and brazen "cheek" are capable of accomplishing, The Daily Press writer evidently does not know the difference between the Broken Hill Proprietary Mine and the British Broken Hill Mines.
