Slide reads: Thereafter, with the working out of surface deposits, and the resultant development of mining - especially, in the late 1850's, alluvial mining - the number of independent diggers gradually decreased, till by 1866 there were possibly only 25,00 of them, as against 17,000 quartz miners and about 37,000 employed in alluvial mines.

Diggers & Mining: Diggers & Mining.Slide reads: And nearly all of the illustrations we have been able to find depict only the three main fields of this early period - Ballarat, Castlemaine, and Bendigo. However, the picture they give may be taken as fairly typical of the other diggings of the time, and, in some respects, of the early stages in the development of other fields later in the gold era.

Slide - DIGGERS & MINING: THE DIGGINGS - THE DIGGERS
Diggers & Mining: The Digging - The Diggers. Slide: An article from 'Land Labour, and Gold'. By William Howitt. Little more than a year ago the whole of this valley on the Bendigo Creek, seven miles and long by one and a half wide, was an un broken wood. It is now perfectly bare of trees, and the whole of it is riddled of hole 10 to 80 feet deep, on one hugh chaos of clay, gravel, stones and pipe clay. So much has been done on this forest in just one year; and not only one year . . . . . . Markings: 28 994.LIF:6. Used as a teaching aid.hanimounteducation, tertiary, goldfields -
