The Warden Death.
"An inquest was held yesterday on the body o£ William Dyson, miner, who, after a continued run of ill-fortune, suicided by shooting. The jury returned the usual verdict."—Barrier Paper. Years I have mined life's barren lands, And little save sorrow the clean-up yields, But the Warden Death has placed in my hands A Miner's Bight to eternal fields.
Shallow the sinking to reach the bed, Six by two is the statute ground, And never a fee is paid by the dead After the Warden has made his round. Should I reject the boon he gives, Scorn, when we meet, I would see in his eyes; , For a tenure uncertain is his who lives, And a claim unjumpable his who dies. ' C.A.C, in "Sydney Bulletin." Broken Hill. .
