TOO MANY VISITORS
LUCKY MINERS EMBARRASSED. GOOD RETURNS OF GOLD. (Per Press Association Copyright.) DUNEDIN, November 22. Percy Bell and William Kilgour, since they struck it rich at Cromwell, have had many* visitors and progress consequently law been slow. The men •have not had the opportunity of getting out any quantity of dirt, but loz. to the dish ha s n„t been an uncommon .return. On Thursday, for a broken day—one of the partners being absent all the morning—the wash-up was 9oz. 18uwt.. making a total for three days of 20.^0/..
The mine s have now wisely decided that in future visitors will not be admitted.
“•This continual entertaining of visitors is delaying our work,” said M r Bell yesterday. “Our output .is not what it could he and we are handling Jess, than half the dirt we should be.”
