'Bendigo Advertiser' article, 15th March , 1995, titled ' Miner reckons there's gold in Bendigo hills'. Comments from Mr. David Pascoe (miner and Mines Inspector) and Mr. Harry Clarke (former miner, Mines Inspector and mine manager) state that 'synclinal folds and inverted saddle reefs had been almost entirely neglected by Bendigo miners'. Mine ventilation and rock temperatures in the New Argus (Eaglehawk) and the New Chum Railway at Golden Square were researched by David Pascoe. Pascoe said 'the resources of the Bendigo field are enormous when it is considered that there are 516 kilometres of surveyed lines of reef down to the depth mines; by including the synclines it almost doubles that figure without any deeper penentration of the field'. gold mining, bendigo, bendigo mining nl, harry clarke, david pascoe, quartz legstones, saddle reef, spurs, mine ventilation, rock temperature, new argus, new chum, garden gully reef
