[QUOTE="Magilla, post: 271045, member: 3393"] I thought the Prime Minister clue would cause some head scratching, yes it is Robert Gascoyne-Cecil. He was travelling the world at the recommendation of his doctor when he decided to visit Australia to see the extent of the gold strike in Victoria. When he was at Bendigo there were 30,000 miners and they were recovering about 30,000 ounces per week or an oz per miner per week. There are blokes in WA that are getting better than that today. He was also amazed at the behavior of the miners commenting that there would be a lot more lawlessness if the gold strike was in England. Have another go Quinton. [/QUOTE]
