Hi Ian and Listers.
Many thanks for your reply, I have the book as mentioned, and am familiar
with the Lady Alice Section in it.
For you see, I have transcribed, over the last year or two, all the
newspaper art's I can find on the Lady Alice and Humbug Scrub group mines,
it comes to some 200 pages.
I was working on the theory that Grenada rock may be a nick-name particular
to gold mining, such as Mullock in gold mining and Attle in Copper mining, a
sort of trade/miners name?
I am greatfull for your imput,Again thankyou.
Take Care.
Roger B Bradford, Of Elizabeth, South Australia
