The only housemaid for hundreds-of miles around, she spends each Monday washing, scrubbing floors, and cleaning up the miners' cabins in Goldfields. On Tuesday she boards _an aeroplane for Warren Camp, on Neilly Lake, 35 miles distant. Spending the night there, she returns to her ba» on Wednesday. For the remainder -of the week she responds, to calls at mining camps in the Goldfields' sector, which has attracted the largest volume of prospectors of recently discovered fields.
