MAY VIVIENNE
FOOTNOTES
[1] These are names given to each other by the Australian-born people of the then separated colonies.
[2] For most of these particulars of the early days of the goldfields I am indebted to Mr. Calvert’s book, “The Coolgardie Goldfield,” 1894.
[3] A stope is the part of the workings in a mine between the levels.
[4] The levels are the drives, or excavations, at different depths in a mine.
[5] Since the above was written the mine has been sunk over 100 feet, and Mr. Merton has now gold valued at over a hundred thousand pounds.
[6] The nut of the tree that, when polished, makes pretty ornaments.
