The reefs were worked from the surface down wilkout timbering, until it became dangerous to go deeper.

That mach of the quartz must have been very rich is certain, for it is said about 100 os, of gold a month wars obtained by the owners of the battery at the time from recrushing and washing the tailings. Oas working not far from the battery yielded 10 exs of gold to the lon, and £700 worth of gold was taken out of a hole a for fast deep just tomed to cope with quurta mining difficulties: The work is of the aradost description at it is evident that as soon as wote wa romeled-in-sufficient quantity to require macbinery, or because, the earth hagan to fall in or becomo dangerous through being watimbered, the mines wore abandoned This part of the district was, moreover, at the time infeated by desperate bands of bushrangera who rendered residenzo there very undesimble.
