Handwritten extracts from the Bendigo Advertiser Tuesday June 3rd 1872. Extract mentions we trust the Gov't is not so absorbed in the details of the new Electoral Bill and other measures which have been introduced as to forget their promise tobring forward a Bill for the Regulation of Mines and the prevention of Mining Accidents. The owners being indifferent, incapable, powerless and the miners so reckless, steps need to be taken to compel them to take the necessary precautions.document, gold, mining accidents, mining accidents, prevention of mining accidents, bendigo advertiser 3/6/1872, regulation of mines
