THE MINER’S RIGHT

Grey River Argus, 15 June 1933, Page 7

THE MINER’S RIGHT

Discard that useless old maxim “Possession’s nine points of the l::.w,” For the law has points like a hedge hog, Though known as an old ass. and more. The promoter shall always be master; He will fly to your hive like a drone And wrest your possessions ::.il from you As a covetous cur would a bone. 'l’he day of the digger has vanished And right is now weighed by the pound. Provided by absentee landlords Who ne’er pul a pick in the ground. 'l’he vigilant must be protected. And the claim jumper’s weapon of might Must never be anywhere questioned But preferred to miner’s right. “The law of the game is a stern one” Where knowledge is bought at a cost. A’on must climb on the backs of the weak ones, Lose sentiment or yoit are lost. Now this, my considered question, For distant, obscure is the light Is a claim of an a.cre in Hades ‘His reward, and a prospector’s right ; H. HENNESSY, Westport.
