SEVEN POUNDS A DAY
DUNEDIN MINERS' EARNINGS.
Two young Dunedin men are convinced that goldmining is infinitely better than relief work. Some time ago they decided to deny themselves the benefits of scheme No. 5, and departed for an auriferous area in the Lawrence district. With amazing luck they ran quickly into a rich seam and for a long neriod were making £7 a day. Although the wash is not so profitable as it once was, the miners are still making good wages, and declare that the city is not likely to see them agvdn for a while, at least not as residents.
