Some of our Thames miners went to Broken Hill and returned. Their state ments were that the money earned by the miners there was dearly earned money, what with the terribly exhausting climate, dysentry from drinking bad op mineralised water, and suffering from lead-poisoning. They said that Broken Hill was like a Sheol — its pressing requirements were " water and society." The " average life " of a Broken Hill miner was five years. In these days of competition human blood and muscle are cheap, and it did not distress anybody whether the miner died in five years of lire months ; another man could be t;ot to step into the gap. The feeling was yery much like that of the Irish landlord who wrote to his sweated tenants :— "I you think to intimidate me by shooting the land agent, you're very much mistaken !" — Auckland Herald.
