17. The important men to keep on the works in good health are the European miners and the fitters and machine drill men. These being of a better class see the advantage gained by the taking of quinine and the results are very encouraging.

18. When English miners go down with malaria it can nearly always be traced to neglect to take quinine or the state of health consequent on drink.

Of course I have had to submit to this command but I would point out that the question is purely one of price, I consider that I have done quite as well as any one else could do at $2 per foot considering the size of the nullahs to be trained and if it is decided to spend twice that amount I consider that I and my staff are quite capable of doing it as well as the Public Works Department.
