| 3595 | 1930s | General notes. | A survey plan of location #248, produced by Mr G A Balikie (surveyor) of Gore, shows in pencil as an addition, the position of locations #385 and 509. It appears from the note on the survey plan that location #509 may have been worked in the 1930s. In this case it is possible that it was worked by John Hodson (1). He may have driven a decline to the south of location #385 as shown on the sketch on the survey plan. this decline appears to have been driven north west to intersect location #385 further on past the point where the running sand had caused location #385 to be abandoned. However, the outcome does not seem to have been favourable. The drive appears to have been abandoned as was location #385. |
