Hi again Did the Beechworth Prospecting Company come to anything? Interested to hear from anyone who knows even a little. regards Denise
Hi Denise and list Sorry Denise don't know about this co but, I have a collection of all the miners that were on the Crooked River/ Dargo area, from 1866 0nwards, but I know that there were miners there before Howitt went in to access the area in 1860, I have just read where this was not a mining district until after 1866, hence why the registrations may only show this date upwards, before this the article says states that they were under the Beechworth mining Board. So does any know if Crooked river was under Beechworth if so where I can find these registration of claims. (I can't of course go to the PRO being in Queensland) Kerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2004 6:08 PM Subject: Re: [HC] Mining Hi again Did the Beechworth Prospecting Company come to anything?
