Newspaper - LONG GULLY HISTORY GROUP COLLECTION: THE MINE FLOODING CRISIS - VICTORIA QUARTZ
Copy of an article in the Bendigo Weekly titled The Mine Flooding Crisis - Joseph Sternberg MLC gets involved by James Lerk. Joseph Sternberg MLC travelled to Melbourne to arrange a deputation with the Minister of Mines to discuss the flooding of the New Chum line of reef. Pumping was mentioned but it would be expensive and would take time and the water would keep rising. They would also have to find a suitable pumping plant. The New Chum Drainage Association had kept the water under control. Delegates wanted the Government to subsidise the removal of the water.bendigo, history, long gully history group, the long gully history group - bendigo weekly, james lerk, victoria quartz, joseph sternberg, the honorable p mcbride, j h craig, new chum reef, new chum drainage association, new chum railway, mills lavis and elliot, mr w sparkman, melbourne herald, alan spicer -
