DISILLUSIONMENT
GRANITES GOLD RUSH
BROKEN MEN RETURNING
MELBOURNE, 18th December.
Prospectors who have returned from the Granites, from which stories of rich gold finds came recently, tell a sad story of disillusionment and hardship. Men on the field live on flour and water, tea and sugar. The drinking water is impregnated with powdered mica. Many men are ill, and others, unable to find gold, straggled back to Alice Springs destitute, and reached Adelaide on free rail passes.
