TRIBUTING AT THE THAMES..
1 take exception to the remarks of your Thames correspondent when he states mine. ■ "• owners will not throw the ground open to, tributers, ,while there are many unemployed; miners who would jump at the chance of get-. \ ting tribute. This, lam sorry to say, is noli true. The Alburnia Company is unable to get miners to take up tribute, and for this reason the directors are calling a meeting of shareholders with the object of winding up the ~•■ . company. There are three or four good blocksv< , of ground opened up ready for stoping out and , • crushing that would* have brought 15 to 20 . per cent on all gold won when I was a tributer ■ V in the 'seventies and 'eighties. No, there are" 1 - but few miners on the Thames to-day willing: ■ to take up tribute. Only last month I visited the Lucky Shot mine and saw some of the picked stone-the tributers brought out. Good luck to them, the only tributers I saw on my; visit to the. goldfield. A SHAREHOLDER. :!:
