IRVINEBANK

ARTHUR JONES, a selector on the Irvinebank and Port Douglas road, with the assistance of two others, cut a tree partly through and left it, intending to throw another one into it, in order to drop it in a certain direction. The two assistants having gone to dinner, the partially-cut tree fell on Jones and pinned him to the ground, paralysing his lower extremities. He was carried by eight men to the Herberton Hospital, a distance of 10 or 12 miles.



FRANK BLACKMORE, a well-known miner of Northcote, near Herberton, is dead. He had his right hand blown off by a dynamite shot the other day, at the bottom of a 22ft. shaft. A shot had been put in, and, apparently, didn't take. Blackmore went down to draw it, when it exploded. He managed to put his foot in the sling, and his mates drew him to the surface. He was conveyed to Herberton Hospital, where Dr. Bowkett amputated the arm above the elbow, but death resulted from the shock sustained by the system.

The N. Standard Herberton correspondent alludes as follows to a matter which should certainly be inquired into by the Government :— "Considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed at Irvinebank during the past week with regard to the slaughter of some aboriginals at that place by the native police. The facts, so far as I have been able to ascertain, are as follows :—The Sub-Inspector of Native Police obtained from a local J. P. a warrant for the arrest of two aboriginals at Irvinebank, whom he had reason to suspect were implicated in the murder of Morgan and Bailey on the Walsh. On arriving at Irvinebank, the warrants were produced and the men arrested. A day or so afterwards, the bodies of two males, two gins and a picaninny were found within a mile and a half of the township. Death had evidently been caused by rifle shots; the gash made by a Snider bullet needs no searching for, and was too visible to leave any doubt. As one of the males had never left the township for months, and the gins and picaninny were recognised immediately, it was determined to have an inquiry into the matter. Mr. Mowbray, our P.M., was sent for, but was at Thornborough on duty. On his return, however, he went out to hold the inquiry, taking with him Dr. Bowkett. The place were the bodies were found was visited, but only a few charred bones remained to tell the tale, every other vestage of the five bodies having disappeared. This daring act has given the affair another start, and an angry feeling is prevalent against those who are endeavoring to shield the perpetrators of this cruel act by removing all traces of the deed. By my next, probably the result of the P.M.'s visit will be made known.

The Irvinebank Murders. Respecting that Irvinebank tragedy up North, a Herberton correspondent informs me that there is one point which has not been sufficiently brought out. After Constable Maroney went out and saw the remains, a camp-keeper from Sub-Inspector Nicholls' camp also went out with blankets wherewith to reward the boy who showed the troopers to the camp. This camp-keeper stayed there all night. Next morning, the half-burnt bodies were all gone, and there remained nothing but the ashes of what had been a large fire. The previous night, the remains were distinctly recognisable as those of human beings. There is grim humour in the idea that, while Neil M'Neil is sentenced to be hanged for potting a South Sea Islander in the heat of the moment, the Government pays hirelings to commit wholesale murder on aboriginals. Truly, human nature is many-sided.

The Commissioner of Police has received information from the Walsh that two men, James John Morgan and Richard George Bailey, have been brutally murdered. Both their skulls had been smashed in by their two blackboys named Toby and Charley, who cleared with two horses, saddles and bridles, two fancy waistbelts, some silver, and rations. The boys belong to the Tate tribe, and can be identified by several persons. The bodies were buried, and the inspector and police magistrate were informed of the tragedy.

The "Chance" a property that has been idle for nearly two years has been taken up and is being worked with no small show of being a paying claim. At Eureka Creek the "Ivanhoe" is looking very well, also. Arbouins and Joss' claims. At Irvinebank some energy is being displayed in getting the crushing and smelting appliances ready and being now almost completed with plenty of "tin stone to operate on, it may be expected that another month will see some ingots of tin (not bags), on their way to Cairns from there; the importance of this portion of the field is daily increasing. Messrs. Moffat and Co. having taken in hand the silver country (known as Prentices'), about four miles from Irvinebank have caused a revival in silver. It is reported that the Silver Valley Co. on the Dry River are about to resume work on their mines; on the whole the prospects of this immense mineral district are improving notwithstanding the low price of tin which is rather disheartening. Information just to hand states that the Irvinebank mill is to have a preliminary turn round to-day and will probably start crushing early next week.

Mining Notes from Herberton. (1884, November 13). Cairns Post (Qld. : 1884 - 1893), p. 3. TROVE

In mining matters no change has taken place since my last. There is a growing feeling that the regulations of the Mineral Lands Act require modifying as regard the labour clauses; these have been worked three years, and are considered to be too elastic for the general welfare of the district. It is a matter, however, that calls for grave consideration to define exactly where exemption from labour should be allowed or otherwise, as so many unexpected and unforeseen circumstances crop up in mines. Yet it is a pity to see claims registered that might be utilised, especially in the case of companies, who may have a plurality of interests. In my last I mentioned that the Monarch Company had abandoned their claims; they have since taken them up again. Very many registered mines will have to resume work shortly, which may cause more activity ; but there is no certainty for the moment about what will be the result of the Co-operative Company's machine. It is publicly reported that the Queensland National Bank purpose selling it by auction on the 15th December, having foreclosed upon a mortgage of £500. If it be not bought by the residents there will be but one crushing machine, the owners having sufficient stone to keep it going, and the public will be compelled to sell their ore. This position is a fix, because there will be but one actual purchaser of stone, and his price must be the sellers. it is reported that the machinery at Return Creek will resume operations shortly, under competent management, and it is to be hoped the report is true. At Watsonville, Eureka Creek, Irvinebank, and other places, the mines continue to be well spoken of. A fair quantity throughout the district of stream tin in waiting rain to sluice. Thomas Jackson, J.P., died on Sunday last at his selection at the scrub, and was buried on the following day. He died of malarial fever, was 42 years old, was a member of the Port Douglas Divisional Board, and had a large number of friends. A miner who had been drinking heavily changed his tipple and took carbolic acid. It didn't kill him, but he is likely to revert to whisky as causing less suffering.
