Mary Ann was born on 2 March 1865, in Diamond Creek, Victoria, the daughter
of Tracy Watkins and Caroline Gittoes. Mary and her
siblings William and Caroline were amongst the first pupils of the Diamond
Creek State School which opened on 1 July 1870 (Ancestors
of Ian Watkins citing the Nillumbik Historical Society). Mary Ann died
on 6 October 1945 at her residence in Balnarring, Victoria, aged 80. She was
buried at Crib Point cemetery.

MRS. MARY. A.
HARTRICK
Mrs. Mary Ann Hartrick died at her residence, Balnarring, at the
age of 80 years. She was a resident of the district for 32 years. A family
of five daughters and two sons survive her. The funeral was to the Crib
Point Cemetery. A service was held at the home conducted by Rev. B. Crisp,
who also read the burial service at the graveside. The pall-bearers were
Messrs. J. Stockdale, R. Neville, A. Waldron, L. Grant, C. Speers, H.
Butt. Coffin-bearers were Messrs. A. S. Hartrick, C. Temby, H. Speers, N.
Speers. Messrs. Hector Gamble and Son conducted the funeral arrangements.
Miner. Abraham's early mining
life was one of hardship, but he eventually struck lucky, made a substantial
amount of money, and worked his way up to mine manager.

ANDERSON'S CREEK COURT OF PETTY SESSIONS.
MONDAY, MARCH 9TH.
(Before Mr. Smallman, P.M., and Captain Selby, J.P.)
OLD AGE PENSIONS ACT.
Constable Parsons v. Wm. Watkins.
—To show cause why he should not contribute towards the support of his
mother, Catherine Watkins, at present receiving six shillings a week under
the Old Age Pensions Act.
W. Watkins (sworn) stated he was a married man with four children,
residing, is his own house on Crown lands; had a horse and dray, and
carted wood into Melbourne ; made after paying horse-feed, some 16s a
week. He, with his sister (Mrs. Hartrick) paid for doctor's fees and
medicine for his mother, also for her clothes; the 6s was nothing near
sufficient ; his wife earned nothing ; his mother was always ailing.
Mrs. Mary Ann Hartrick (sworn) : I am a married woman with seven
children ; my husband is working in the Excelsior mine, Walhalla, earning
£3 10s a week ; my eldest daughter is sewing teacher at the State school
receiving £30 a year; my second daughter is occasionally in service at 7s
per week ; am paying 10s per week for my son learning a trade in Melbourne
; I cannot at present help my mother more than with my brother pay for
doctor's fees, medicine, and clothes; my husband's occupation is very
precarious, and if he was with others every day being dismissed it might
he months before he got another job ; I have no money or property of my
own.
Mr. Smallman, who had obtained all this evidence, dismissed the
case, the evidence showing they were not able to do more than they were
doing. Mrs. Watkins was not receiving the maximum rate. Mr. Berrimnan, a
commissioner, had originally granted the 6s now being paid.
In the following advertisements for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, which ran
from 1907 through 1914, Abraham is referred to as the manager at the
Excelsior mine (near Walhalla), but we know that by August 1907 the family
was in Warrandyte (near Melbourne), and obviously doing well as they invited
over 400 guests to the marriage of their daughter, Elsie. The increase in
fortunes over a four year period seems astounding, but is perhaps what drew
so many to gold prospecting.

DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
We all remember the pretty story of the little hero who saved his
native village in Holland by stopping with his hand during the whole of a
dark, tumultuous night, the gentle ttrickle of the sea through a leak in
the dyke. Had he not done so, the wild sea must surely have worn its way
through the dyke and flooded the village. Similiar danger threatens us
here in Sale. Hundreds of backs are aching, yet people are neglecting this
warning. And it's so easy to check kidney disease if taken in time, then
don't delay. Read what this man says:—
Mr Abraham Hartrick, Manager, "Excelsior Gold Mining Co, Blue
Jacket, N. Gippsland, writes: - "Some few months ago I suffered with
kidney trouble. My secretions were disordered and contained a sediment
after standing. Seven boxes of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills have tho
roughly cured me. If people would only continue taking them for a few
weeks, in stead of knocking off after a few days, they would find the
benefit of them. Although I am quite well now, I shall take a box of
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills occasionally. I tell everyone I know, how
they cured me, and say 'Try them' for no one knows the value of them until
they try them. I recommend Doan's Backache Kidney Pills for urinary
troubles." The kidney are the most important organs of the human body,
then when you don't feel as well as you ought, look after your kidneys,
and give them help by taking the great kidney and bladder remedy Doans
Backache Kidney Pill

boxes 15s 3d), or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan
Co., 76 Pitt-street, Sydney, N.S.W.
But,—be sure you get DOAN'S.
In Wexford to Walhalla by Standish R. Hartrick
published in the Irish Palatine Association Journal
No. 12., we find that by 1908, the family situation had improved
substantially:
At the end of that year his family would have had
a bountiful time with the ₤28.1s.7d received on Christmas Eve as well as
₤52.6s.1d obtained over the next month. Newspaper reports of that time
indicate that all of the family were accomplished musicians, giving
concerts to raise funds for various charities in Warrandyte.

Arthur Hogan v. Abraham Hartrick.—Unlawful assault. The
plaintiff stated that he was inside the hall after the concert in aid of
the widow and children of the late John Jones, when the defendant struck
him over the eye, and on going out of the hall used very bad language to
him.
Henry Squires, a witness for the plaintiff, stated that Mr.
Hartrick had charge of the door for both concert and ball. After the
concert several people came into the hall; I went and collected from some
of them the hall fee. The plaintiff when asked made some evasive answer; I
requested him to leave the hall; he objected, and Mr. Hartrick put him
out; I did not hear the expression used as plaintiff stated.
George Sloan.—I saw Hartrick strike Hogan; I did not hear the bad
language.
Hugh Mullens.-It was raining hard and we went into the hall after
the concert; Mr. Squires came round collecting; I paid my shilling; Mr.
Squires put his hand on the plaintiff's shoulder and told him he would
have to go out if he did not pay; Mr. Hartrick put him out and struck him.
Fined 1s and 4s 6d costs.
The Bench addressed the plaintiff, informing him that the assault
had been proved, but it was evident that be had misconducted himself and
warned him that if he was brought before them for similar conduct he would
be placed, at all events for a time, where he would not have the
opportunity.

DECISION SET ASIDE.
At the South Melbourne Court on July 11 Ada Blanche Letner charged
her husband, Lewis Harris Letner, a cabinet-maker, with having left her
without means of support. The Bench made an order for £2 a week, with
£2/3/ costs. Letner appealed to General Sessions, and both yesterday and
the day before Deputy Judge Leon listened to much argument and some
evidence upon the question of which side deserted. The pair, it was shown,
had lived in a boarding-house, and as the result of a series of quarrels,
Mrs. Letner went away. Deputy Judge Leon held that there had been no
desertion, and he set aside the verdict of the lower Court, Mr. Lee Cusman
and Mr. Scott Murphy engaged for Letner, and Mr. Gapman and Mr. Fraser for
Mrs. Letner.

Police officer. Arthur was
Mounted Constable No. 3780 in the Victoria Police Force. After 36 years
service he retired as Sergeant 1st Class in 1922.
We find mention of Constable Hartrick in various newspaper articles placing
him in Andersons Creek in 1894 (The Evelyn Observer (Victoria) 23 March 1894
p3) and Mirboo North in 1895 (Traralgon Record (Victoria) 25 June 1895 p2).
In August 1898 Arthur transferred from Mirboo North to Heyfield.
The
Maffra Spectator (Victoria) 22 August 1898 p3
HEYFIELD
The "Gippslander" says:—Last week the local constable, Mr Hartrick,
and his wife were entertained by the choir and members of St Mary's Church
congregation Mirboo North, the occasion being their projected departure to
Heyfield, Constable Hartrick being about to be transferred to that
station. The entertainment took place in the church, but the very short
notice given and the fact that it was bitterly bleak and cold, operated
against there being a large attendance, nevertheless those present enjoyed
the programme of sacred songs rendered by the choir. Afterwards the
company were regaled with refreshments and the Rev. A. E. Britten, in
presenting a handsomely bound book of songs to Mr Hartrick, commented in
well-chosen words upon the valuable services Mr and Mrs Hartrick had
rendered to the choir during their sojourn in Mirboo North. Mr Hartrick
suitably replied thanking those present for the beautiful gift. During the
evening the choir rendered some anthems very creditably, and solos were
given by Messrs Hartrick, Burchell and Gordon.

The
Coburg Leader (Victoria) 24 April 1909 p1
There was a laugh created in the Brunswick Court, on
Wednesday, during the hearing of a charge of assaulting the police,
preferred against two men named Wheeler and Phillips. The defence entered
was that the accused did not know that complainant, who was in plain
clothes, was a constable. Counsel for the defence was strong on that
point, and elicited from the defendant Phillips that Hartrick had never
said that he was a constable. In cross examination Sub-Inspector Dungey
remarked, "I suppose your usual custom, when a civilian accosts you, and
you are muddled with drink, is to 'stoush' him?" "Oh, no," blithely
responded Phillips; "but when a man in plain clothes says he is a
constable; and tries to put you out of a pub., you resent it." This "give
away" provoked a general laugh, and Mr. Dungey sat down smiling.
The penalty of £7, in default two months' imprisonment, inflicted
by the Brunswick Bench on Wednesday on the men who assaulted Constable
Hartrick in the Victoria Hotel, will, it is to be hoped, have the effect
of deterring others from making a nuisance of themselves.
The
Coburg Leader (Victoria) 6 May 1910 p1
Senior Constable A. S. Hartrick has been transferred on promotion for duty
at Russell street. As a constable Mr. Hartrick has been well known and
respected in Brunswick during his stay of eight or nine years. Possessed
of rare tact, good sound common sense and a generally kindly, courteous
manner, he has been throughout the time popular with his superior officers
his comrades and with the general public and he leaves behind him a record
of duty efficiently and satisfactorily done. He has many friends in
Brunswick who will be glad to hear that the "Senior" will still reside in
this city.
Arthur was an inventive man, gaining
notice in the newspapers in 1886 for a self-registering rifle target, and in
1900 for an adjustable clump sole, the latter of which he attempted to
commercialize.
The
Horsham Times (Victoria) 2 April 1886 p2
MR. Arthur Hartrick, who is of a mechanical turn of mind,
has recently been setting his brains to work in Yarrawonga to invent a
self-registering rifle target, and the Mercury understands that success
has crowned his efforts beyond his sanguine expectations. The invention
has been tried at the local butts before a number of competent witnesses,
and has created quite a sensation.
The
Maffra Spectator (Victoria) 4 April 1901 p3
THE PATENT ADJUSTABLE CLUMP-SOLE.
A GIPPSLAND INVENTION.
It will be remembered we referred some time since to a remarkably
simple yet extremely useful invention (an adjustable clump sole) by
Constable Hartrick, formerly of Hayfield, but now of Cuninghame. This
invention has been taken up by his friends and others who see that there
is money in it, and patents have been secured throughout the world. The
patent is now about to be exploited, it being the intention to form a
company to be registered under Part 1 of the "Companies Act, 1890" as a
Limited Liability Company, having a Capital of £4,000, divided into 16,000
shares of 5s each. 8,000 shares, fully paid up, and £100 cash (to partly
recoup the Vendors for their outlay in obtaining the various Patent
Rights) will be issued and paid to the Vendors in full consideration for
their valuable Patent Rights in the invention hereinafter described. 4,000
shares are offered to the public at 2s 6d per share on application and 2s
6d per share on allot ment. 4,000 shares will be held in re serve for
future issue if found necessary.
The Patent Adjustable Clump-Sole Co., Limited, is being formed to
acquire the right to manufacture the Patent Adjustable Clump-Sole for
footwear, the invention of Mr Arthur Standish Hartrick, the patents for
which have been obtained in all the Australasian States, New Zealand,
Germany, Canada and Great Britain and are being obtained in France and the
United States.
The invention practically provides the means of superseding the
necessity of half-soleing boots, shoes, &c., and consists of cutting a
strip of leather, moulding into shape and then rivetting or pegging same
on to the sole of the boot, shoe, &c.
It is claimed for the patent that there is a considerable saving in
leather compared with half-soleing, inasmuch as there is practically no
waste by reason of the fact that the leather is first cut parallel into
strips, and then moulded into the shape of the shoe, &c. On account of
the easy adjustability of the Clump Sole (it can be put on the boot, shoe,
&c., and fitted exactly by any man, woman or child who can drive a
rivet or peg) it saves sending the boot to the shoemaker, thus doing away
with half-soleing altogether. The cost of the Clump sole will be so small
that for the expense of a few pence as many shillings will be saved in
every case. Suitable leather will be purchased at prices ranging from 9d
to 1s per lb., and the clump soles will be made at the rate of from 6 to
18 or 20 pairs to the pound of leather, according to sizes. No knife or
paring instrument is required in fitting. It is very comfortable to walk
in, giving an even tread all over the sole and gripping the ground better
than metal nails or protectors, while, unlike them, it will not tear or
damage floor cloths, linoleums, etc., and is also light and pliable under
the feet, which is not the case with the solid clump sole.
The patent will be found especially cool on hot streets by reason
of it having spaces which admit air, and the fact that a strip of leather
is not so great a conductor as a solid piece, while in winter, on the
other hand, it will not conduct the cold or admit the damp from the
pavement.
When worn out any remains of the clump sole can be easily removed
and a new one put on its place.
The Invention has been given a very fair trial by both the inventor
and the public, and is pronounced a success by all who have tested its
value.
The Promoters anticipate that no difficulty will be found in
selling the soles as the market will practically be the whole world.
It is proposed to open a factory at once in Victoria, and as the
outlay for plant, etc., should not exceed £100, the present issue of
shares will afford sufficient capital to thoroughly exploit the invention,
and as the manufacture and transportation of the article will cost so
little, a good margin must be left for profits. After the Company has
thoroughly proved the utility of the Patent in Victoria, other factories
will be opened in other countries or the rights to manufacture will be
disposed of in different parts of the world as the shareholders may
decide.
It will be found particularly useful and of great saving to large
families, as boots, shoes, etc., can be made to last treble as long at a
very trifling cost. Also in the Army (where boots are the cause of a lot
of anxiety) with good uppers and a supply of clump soles a single pair
would last through a long campaign, and soldiers could carry a half-dozen
pairs in their kit without adding one pound weight to their burden, while
a man to each regiment could keep the boots repaired as required.
In view of the fact that all wear boots, which are articles that
always want renewing, a great revenue should always be obtained for the
company, and it is anticipated that with energetic management the company
should be placed on the dividend paying list almost from its inception.
Applications for Shares will be received by the Secretary, pro.
tem.
Other inventions by Arthur for which he applied for patents include "A
book marker usable also for advertising purposes", "A
device for minimising the concussion or jar in the heel of boots and shoes",
"An
improved automatically compensating rail principally useful for hurdles
and fences for jumping purposes", "An
improved adjustable save-all candle grease catcher", "An
improved combined rabbit proof fence and trap", "Skeleton
outer soles for boots and shoes" and "Improvements
in floats to facilitate connection and disconnection of fishing lines"
Arthur was also a noted amateur singer.

THE CONCERT.
A most enjoyable concert was given in the Mechanics' Institute by
the members of the team assisted by Mr A. S. Hartrick, of Cowwarr, and Mr.
A. Allen, of Sale. The only drawback was that the house was not a good
one, for while the front seats were fairly well filled, the back were
almost empty. Mr P. P. Serjeant, president of the Traralgon Cricket Club,
occupied the chair, and the programme was opened by an overture on the
piano, by Mr. J. Powell, who also played the overture in the second part,
and a l the accompaniments but one. In fact, he had a good deal of "hard
graft." Mr R. T. Kelly, the captain of the Richmond team sang, "Queen of
the Earth," and in the second part "True till Death," both numbers being
creditably rendered. Mr Hartrick, who was evidently a favorite with the
audience, gave "The Gallants of England" in such a style as to rouse the
enthusiasm of those present, and he was vociferously en cored, when he
sang "The British Lion," which was even better given than the first
number. Mr J. W. Stedwell sang "Ora Pro Nobes," and was followed by Mr A.
Allen, of Sale who gave "The Miner," in excellent style, and in response
to an encore sang " Out on the deep." Mr Dave Crosbie, who as a humorist
could scarcely be excelled, gave a recitation of what was supposed to be a
meeting at Korumburra, when different members of the company recited "The
Charge of the Light Brigade." We need scarcely say that he received a
vociferous recall when he sang in good style "Tommy Atkins." He was again
recalled, but the Chairman said Mr Crosbie was tired, and had to appear
several times again. Cr Mulially having failed to catch the train, Mr
Wilson filled his place, and sang '"Romany Lass" very tastefully. As Mr
Hartrick had to catch the train to Cowwarr that night, the Chairman
explained he would sing the song set down in the second part, and he then
gave "The Sleeping Camp." Mr A. Clarke, who also seemed a favorite with
his mates, sang "East and West," and was warmly applauded. Mr G. H.
Bennett, M.L.A., not being present with his gramaphone, his place was ably
filled by Mr Crosbie who sang "The Absent Minded Beggar,"' which closed
the first part of the programme.

Joseph was born on 18 June 1898, in Warragul, Victoria, the son of Thomas
Stockdale and Hannah Langstaff. He was a telephone mechanic. Joseph served
in the Second World War, enlisting in the Australian Army on 5 May 1941 in
Albury, New South Wales and was discharged on 17 Janaury 1947, posted at
that time to the Signals 3 Lines of Communications Area. At enlistment, his
residence was in Wodonga, Victoria and his next of kin was Clarice
Stockdale. Joseph, who was known as "Joe" was an avid golfer, tennis player
and cricketer.

TELEPHONE EXTENSION.
The continuous growth of telephonic communication at the Warragul
exchange, has necessitated the installation of a new and larger
switchboard, which will operate 400 separate lines. The new board is being
erected in the room previously occupied by the inspector, which will be a
great improvement, both for the operators and the public, who have
business with the postal officials. The complicated work of joining up the
new lines to the switchboard, is being carried out by Mr. Joseph
Stockdale, son of ex-Cr. Thomas Stockdale, of Lardner, who thus comes back
to his old town and district, on a very important mission. Many of our
readers, who remember the stirring times and wordy battles in the Shire
Council, when ex-Crs. Stockdale and Strickland were taking opposite views
of the road policy, will be glad to learn that the old veteran is still in
good health, though not as energetic as formerly, and that all being well,
he and his life-long partner hope to presently celebrate their golden
wedding.

During the week end the members of the W.G.C. [Wodonga Golf Club] took the
opportunity of presenting the club secretary (Mr. J. Stockdale) with a
golf bag as some recognition of the work he has done for the club. For the
past few seasons Mr. Stockdale has showed marked zeal in the affairs of
the W.G.C. and has not spared himself one iota in furthering its interest.
The presentation was made by Mr. F. F. Whitbourn, the club president, who
spoke in glowing terms of the activities of their secretary and what they
meant for the club. The recipient, who was obviously unprepared for the
happening, expressed his appreciation of the gift and the thought behind
it. He appreciated it considerably. He frankly admitted that his heart and
soul were in the progress of the organisation, and he expressed the wish
that members would see the club go on to bigger and better things.
Joseph is found on the electoral rolls in the following divisions:

CAR OVER BANK
PARTY HAS NARROW
ESCAPE
While returning from a dance at Yackandandah at an early hour
yesterday morning, a car driven by Mr. J. Stockdale, senior telephone
mechanic, of Wodonga, turned over about two miles from Yackandandah. In
the car were Mrs. Stockdale, Mrs Admans, Mr. Len. Haney, Miss Nicholls and
Miss Sedgwick, of Wodonga. The members of the party had an enjoyable
evening and were proceeding homewards at a reasonable speed when the car,
without the slightest warning, left the road and turned over an embankment
about 20 feet deep. What did happen exactly no one knows, as the accident
happened in a flash. Fortunately the car, a tourer, threw its occupants
clear, and with the exception of Mrs. Stockdale every one escaped with
minor scratches. Unfortunately, that lady received a nasty out close to
her eye, which was at first regarded as seriout.
Just as the party was at its wits end to get word into Yackandandah
for a relief car, a young equestrienne returning from the dance came along
and returned for assistance. Shortly afterwards Mr. Malcolmson arrived and
motored them all to Wodonga. Dr. Grant's aid was sought for Mrs.
Stockdale, who was later taken to Sister Hughes's hospital. Reports last
night indicate she is much improved.

PRESENTATIONS.
There was a very pleasant little function at Bell-street State
School last Wednesday afternoon, when occasion was taken to mark the
departure of two members of the teaching staff, viz. Misses Edith Hartrick
and Daisy Grattan. The former is leaving to take up a higher position at
the Alfred Crescent School, North Fitzroy, and Miss Grattan crosses the
road to assist at the special school in Bell-street. Miss Fleming (head of
the school), on be half of the teaching staff and scholars, handed to Miss
Hartrick several articles which are useful on a lady's dressing-table; and
to Miss Grattan was given b handsome silver hot water-jug. Miss Fleming
made a neat little speech, in, the course of which she expressed the
regret felt by herself and the children at the departure of two such
efficient and popular teachers as Misses Grattan and Hartrick. The ladles
named made suitable responses. Miss Rose Nigan succeeds Miss Hartrick, and
Miss Lilian Crellin takes up temporary duty in place of Miss Grattan.

Aquariums for Schools
AT State school No. 773, Glenhuntly road, Caulfield, one of the teachers,
Miss E. M. Hartrick, has a 12-gallon aquarium, mounted on a travelling
carriage, for exhibition in several classrooms where nature study is
taught. This is a capital idea, which might well be adopted in other
schools.
Edith acted as the executrix of the
estate of her sister Adelaide in May 1944. At that time her address was 23
Hoddle Street, Elsternwick, Victoria (the same address as Adelaide at her
death), and she was a spinster (The Argus (Melbourne, Victoria) 1 May 1944 p10).

On Friday last, the 20th inst., the annual distribution of prizes
took place at Anderson's Creek State school. The Chairman of the
Templestowe Board of Advice, Mr. A. Andrew, presented the prizes to the
successful scholars. Before doing so he gave a short address to the
scholars, in which he praised them for the excellent work done during the
year, and hoped the prizes would encourage them to greater things. He said
a first-class education was given at the State schools if parents liked to
avail themselves of it. Competition was now so extreme that those who did
not take advantage of the opportunity offered by the State would go to the
wall. He congratulated the scholars on having such able teachers as Mr.
and Mrs. Quick, and thanked them for taking so much interest in the
children.
The awards were as follow:—Best attendance for 1895—Nellie
Hartrick, Matilda Schult, Elsie Hartrick, James Sewart, Thomas Twyerould,
William Hartrick. Best average at monthly examinations—John Stewart,

prize for best conducted girl in the VI. Class was presented by Miss Belle
Clark and was won by, Caroline Hutchinson. Special mention was made of the
attendance of Nellie Hartrick, who has attended three years without
missing more than two days, and also Matilda Schult who has not missed
more than three days in the same time. The former girl is only 12 years of
age and is in the upper sixth class, and obtained a total of 897 marks out
of 1000. Matilda Schult has made exactly the same total for the fifth

WEDDING AT WARRANDYTE.
SANFORD-HARTRICK.
A very stylish wedding took place at Warrandyte on Wednesday, 27th
ult., Miss Nellie Hartrick (eldest daughter of Mr A. Hartrick), being
united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr John Sanford (eldest son of
Mr. E. Sanford), both of Warrandyte. Judging by the crowd assembled at the
church it was a very popular event, as every available space was taken up.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Raymond, of Doncaster. Miss
Hartrick (cousin of the bride) played the Wedding March. Showers of rice
met the happy couple on leaving the church. The wedding breakfast was held
in the Warrandyte Hall and ample justice done to to the good things
provided. Several appropriate toasts were given and duly responded to.
After the breakfast the Hall was cleared and some 200 friends of the bride
and bridegroom spent a very pleasant time in dancing, singing, etc., till
the small hours of the morning. Mr Wyatt spoke a few appropriate words and
wished the couple all happiness, when all present joined in three hearty
cheers to the pair, who left shortly after for their honeymoon. Both
Church and Hall were beautifully decorated by friends of the bride. The
bridesmaids were Misses E., P., C., and F. Hartrick (sisters of the
bride), and Miss M. Sanford (sister of the bridegroom). Master A. Hartrick
(brother of bride) acted as page.
The bride wore a lovely dress of white silk and lace, knots of
satin ribbons here and there, and train, which with exquisite veil of
tulle, prettily worked with flowers and wreath of orange blossom, made a
very bewitching picture. The six bridesmaids wore dresses of cream silk
and voile and crepolene. The bride's mother wore black meav silk relieved
with er?? lace and ribbon bows. Some of the guests wore very handsome
dresses. Little Florrie Hartrick (the bride's sister) made a vision of
loveliness in her pretty white silk under a crown of jasmine, and others
were equally becoming and stylish. The bride's cousin looked lovely in
cream voile and lace, and a love dress of cream and lace worn by one of
the bride's friends was a creation in itself. A black silk voile,
especially handsome, was worn by one of the ladies. Another dress, pale
flowered muslin, was among the prettiest. One lady looked distinguished in
broche silk; another, in blue voile, exquisitely made, looked pretty among
the different dresses of the guests; others, too numerous to mention,
looked equally becoming and interesting.

OLIVER-HARTRICK
Our Warrandyte correspondent writes:—
One of the largest weddings ever celebrated here took place at St.
Stephen's Church of England on Wednesday, July 24th, the contracting
parties being Mr. Harry Oliver and Miss E. Hartrick, second oldest
daughter of Mr. A. Hartrick. The ceremony was most impressively performed
by the Rev. Mr. Raymond. The church was very prettily decorated with
arches of wattle blossoms and a beautiful wedding bell was hung close to
the altar, over the bride. The bride was given away by her father, and
wore a very handsome dress of cream silk and a beautiful wreath and veil
with orange blossoms. The bridesmaid, Miss L. Speers (cousin of the
bride), was attired in a beautiful dress of cream silk. The Misses
Hartrick (sisters of the bride) were prettily dressed in silk. Mr. Arthur
Speers (cousin of the bride) acted as best man.
After the ceremony, at which close on four hundred persons were
present, the guests drove to the local Hall, and were received by Mr and
Mrs A. Hartrick. The Hall was very artistically decorated with wattle
blossoms and artificial flowers. Down the centre of the Hall were tables,
magnificently laid out, and about 70 people sat down to the breakfast.
The Rev. Mr Raymond proposed the health of the bride and
bridegroom, and the bridegroom suitably responded. Dr. Adam, of Lilydale,
proposed the health of the bridesmaids, which was responded to by the best
man. Mr H. White, of Doncaster, proposed the health of the host and
hostess, and Mr A. Hartrick responded.
In the evening a most enjoyable time was spent, the hall being
crowded. Singing, dancing, and other amusements were kept up till the
early morning, everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves.
The bride and bridegroom left before 9 o'clock for the City, and
departed amidst cheers and showers of rice.

George Standish Hartrick is recorded as single, the son of Standish
Hartrick. Mary Matilda Symes is recorded as single, the daughter of Abraham
Symes.
George and Mary emigrated to Victoria
shortly after their marriage. They travelled first class on the Bengal
Merchant, leaving London on 1 April 1852 and arriving in Melbourne
on 2 September 1855. They settled first in Ballarat and then in Walhalla
where George was a mine manager for many years. In 1864 he was manager of a
gold mine in Costerfield, Victoria, the Longfellow's Gold Mine in 1867, and
was manager of the Empress mine in Walhalla which opened in 1870. In 1881 he
was a mining manager in Andersons Creek, Victoria (marriage
certificate of his son George). Many more details of his life can be
found in Wexford to Walhalla by Standish R. Hartrick
published in the Irish Palatine Association Journal
No. 12.

LONGFELLOW'S GOLD MINING COMPANY (Registered).—The mining manager, under
date the 14th inst., reports that at a special general meeting of this
company, held on the 12th inst., the proffered resignation of the general
manager, Mr Hartrick, was accepted, but a new agreement was arranged and
entered into between the company and Mr Hartrick by virtue of which he
resumes the general management for twelve months certain.

Empress Gold Mining Company (Registered). — According to appointment this
company's crushing plant was christened on Saturday afternoon at three
o'clock. The preparations in the shape of a good supply of champagne,
wines, beer, &c. were upon the usual liberal scale peculiar to the
Walhalla mining companies. The band was present under the leadership of Mr
Gorman, and enlivened the proceedings considerably by playing several
fashionable airs in their usual style.
Mr Henry Rosales came forward to the engine platform and bade the
guests who were assembled a hearty welcome, informed them that the first
item on the programme was to christen that elaborate piece of mechanism
the Empress Gold Mining Company's battery.
Mrs Hartrick, to whom was entrusted this necessary and very
important ceremony, titled this monster engine the “Phœnix.”
Mr Sayce proposed “Success and Prosperity to the Empress Gold Mining
Company ;”
he was proud to see such a meeting assembled to do honour to the
christening of this company's battery, for which he could safely predict a
glorious future, and he had no hesitation in stating that the claim would
pay dividends equal to the renowned Long Tunnel Company's claim ; the
elaborate plant which they be held was a credit to the manager, a credit
to the men, and a credit to all those who participated in its
construction. He therefore invited them to join him in wishing success and
prosperity to the Empress Gold Mining Company.
Mr Duval thanked them for the very sincere manner they had received
the last toast. He had been connected with the Empress claim since the
earliest days of Walhalla; they were all aware that the company had
experienced many difficulties, but he ventured to hope they were at an
end. He believed the claim would pay good dividends and give employment to
a great number of men for years to come.
Mr Henry Rosales in proposing the health of Mr Hartrick, the
manager, remarked that he was an old friend. Some time ago the directors
of the Longfellow's Company requested him to recommend a gentleman to
their management. He recommended Mr Hartrick, and he was proud to state
that he never regretted having done so; he had deserved from the directors
and shareholders their warmest thanks for his untiring energy and
perseverance, and he considered that his knowledge was a great acquisition
to Walhalla and the district generally. He should, therefore, conclude by
proposing the health of Mr Hartrick, coupled with that of Mrs Hartrick,
and all the young Hartricks.
Mr Hartrick, in responding, observed that the company had had many
difficulties to centond with, but happily they were now surmounted. He
could not allow this opportunity to pass without stating that the
shareholders had paid their calls like bricks; they also had to thank the
Bank of Victoria for the invaluable assistance rendered by that
corporation to the Empress Company. He had now a most pleasing duty to
perform, and that was to propose the healths of Messrs Hoey, Graham,
Matheson, and Roberts, who had all done their best, and had each performed
the share of work allotted to them like men.

OBITUARY.
The many friends of Mr Geo. Hartrick in Benalla district will
regret to hear that that gentleman's much beloved mate—namely, his wife—is
dead, news of the sad event reaching the ENSIGN from Subiaco, a suburb of Perth (Western Australia)
on Wednesday morning last. In the words of our informant (the deceased
lady's son, Victor), "she breathed her last on Monday, 5th inst., at 5
a.m., after an illness lasting three weeks to the hour. She was buried the
following day in Karrakatta cemetery. Death came very suddenly. My father
called me before the hour named to go for a doctor. I did my best over two
miles of sloppy road on a bicycle, but when I returned mother had breathed
her last. Six of us, as you know, are left to mourn her loss, the youngest
being little Laura, aged 5 months." The late Mrs Hartrick was one of the
most amiable of women, and the hospitality which characterised her in her
home was unbounded. By nature she was a lady, possessing a proper pride,
which was blended with a wise and dignified womanhood. Her home was a
symbol of domestic happiness and comfort, and many a time and oft she lent
grace and ability, along with her widowed husband, at public and private
entertainments as a musician. A favorite with all classes of the community
who knew her she goes to her tomb with the sincerest regrets of a very
large circle of sterling friends and acquaintances in this district. By
her death Mr Hartrick has lost a partner of partners and for him there
will be genuine sympathy over his melancholy bereavement.

George started as a miner in Warrandyte (marriage
certificate) and later became the Sheriff's Officer in Benalla,
Victoria. Mention is found of George serving as sheriff's officer from
September 1889 until 1895 when, faced with a pay reduction, he resigned his
position and moved to Western Australia, leaving on 19 September 1895.
Amongst the items put up for auction before his departure was his
Newfoundland dog, Argus.
The
North Eastern Ensign (Benalla, Victoria) 30 July 1895 p2
It is the intention of Mr Geo. Hartrick, sheriff's officer at
Benalla, to resign his position shortly. His reason for so doing is owing
to recent retrenchment in the Crown Law department, by which subsidies to
sheriff's officers have been stopped. By this means Mr Hartrick's position
be comes so unremunerative that he does not think it worth while holding
it any longer. It is his intention to leave Benalla in about six weeks'
time and settle in Perth, Western Australia. As a vocalist Mr Hartrick
will prove a loss to Benalla.

Mr G. Hartrick, the late local sheriff's officer, left Benalla
yesterday morning, en route for "fresh fields and pastures new." He
intends staying in Melbourne for a few weeks, and then proceeding to
Perth, Western Australia. We understand that a numerously signed
testimonial has been presented to Mr Hartrick bearing evidence of the
exemplary manner in which he carried out his duties whilst in Benalla.
George became the Perth representative of the Australian Mutual Provident
Society, a non-profit life insurance company. In 1909 he went to the United
States and landed up in Vancouver working as an accountant for the Canadian
Pacific Hotel System before returning to Australia and locating to East
Malvern, Victoria.
Wexford to Walhalla by Standish R. Hartrick
published in the Irish Palatine Association Journal
No. 12:
During 1913 he was employed by the Canadian
Pacific Hotel System, operating from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. He
completed his mission, viz. opened up businesses for [our] Company with
the United States before returning to Australia. [Your] experience and
knowledge may be of great use to the Hudson’s Bay Company …. He
spent some time at Banff and Kicking Horse Pass before returning to
Australia.
In Benalla, George was well known for his exceptional bass singing voice,
while Elizabeth grew prize winning chrysanthemums (The North Eastern Ensign (Benalla, Victoria)
11 May 1894 p2).
The
North Eastern Ensign (Benalla, Victoria) 30 June 1893 p2
Mr Hartrick followed with a song "the Skipper."
He was in good form, and his rendering of the number with which he was
entrusted was a treat, and was listened to with rapt attention. Of course
he was loudly encored, and he replied with "the Midshipmite ;" Mrs
Hartrick played his accompaniments with true artistic effect.
Extraordinarily, George was to lose substantial property by fire twice in
the time he spent in Western Australia. The first time was right on arrival
- George and family arrived in Fremantle aboard the arriving aboard the
steamer Innamincka on 24 October
1895 (The
Daily News (Perth Western Australia) 24 October 1895 p2) and on 29 October a fire
broke out at the Fremantle customs shed that destroyed most of the
cargoes, including passengers' luggage, of the Innamincka
and the Tangiers, although we
learned later that two cases of George's furniture were recovered so
it was not a total loss.
The
North Eastern Ensign (Benalla, Victoria) 12 November 1895 p5
It has been reported locally that Mr George Hartrick, who left Benalla
some time ago for Western Australia, had suffered it loss through the
whole of his furniture being burnt in the recent fire which destroyed the
Perth Custom house. Since that report was circulated, a letter has been
received by a local resident from a friend in Perth to the effect that two
cases of Mr Hartrick's furniture had been recovered unharmed from among
the ruins of the building, so that the loss referred to is not its great
as at first reported.
In February 1902 George made a visit back to Benalla, where he received
sympathy in the local newspaper on the recent loss of his wife.
The
North Eastern Ensign (Benalla, Victoria) 14 February 1902 p2
Mr Geo. Hartrick, an old favorite Benallaite, who, with his
wife and family, left here six years ago and settled in Perth, Western
Australia, has been in our midst during the past week. As might be
expected, Mr Hartrick has been the recipient of all-round greetings from
his many friends. As our readers will remember from reports which have
already appeared in the ENSIGN,
Mr Hartrick sustained serious losses by his visit to the state named, all
his furniture being destroyed at Perth railway station, whilst his next
misfortune was that of the loss of his wife by death a year or so back.
Notwithstanding all this, Mr Hartrick has succeeded in founding a home at
a suburb of the city referred to and is now one of the travelling
representatives of the Australian Mutual Provident Society, one of the
strongest assurance institutions of its kind in the world. Notwithstanding
the way in which it is decried in some quarters, Mr Hartrick says that Wes
tern Australia is one of the most promising states in the union and that
the people there are now beginning to realise that it is splendidly
adapted for wheat-growing. Mr Hartrick is at present the guest of Mr
Standish, of Goorambat, and when he has trans acted some business he has
to attend to here will return to Westralia with the intention of stopping
there during the rest of his life.

FIRE AT SUBIACO.

A six-roomed weatherboard house, at Subiaco, occupied and owned by
Mr. G. Hartrick was completely destroyed by fire last week. The Subiaco
Fire Brigade, assisted by the Metropolitan and Leederville Brigades,
endeavoured to subdue the flames, but owing to some difficulty being
experienced in obtaining water their efforts were of little avail, and the
place was completely gutted. The houses adjoining, however, were prevented
from being damaged beyond scorching. The house was insured for £450 and
the furniture for £200.
In 1909 George sold his household furniture in preparation for a move to the
United States.

That ever popular and interesting ceremony, the tying of the Gordian knot,
was performed in the Church of England, Tarraville, on Tuesday last. The
officiating minister was the Rev. H. A. Betts, the most deeply interested
parties to the contract (says the Standard)
being Mr Robert Neilson and Miss Minnie Hartrick. The bride was given away
by her brother-in-law Mr S. Symonds, and a number of friends of the happy
couple were present to wish them prosperity as they drove away in the
direction of Sale, en route to
their new home at Fernbank, near Stratford.

Mining Engineer. John worked for
fourteen years for the Long Tunnel Company in Walhalla, Victoria before
studying at the Ballarat School of Mines. In 1887 he was appointed to manage
the Jackson's Reef mine in Kimberley, Western Australia, causing controversy
with a condemnatory report on the mine. John moved to Murchison, Western
Australia in 1894. Amongst the properties he was connected with, were the
Edna May, at Westonia, which he bought and later floated a company to work,
the Empress, at Lennonville, and the Fingall Extended at Cue. In 1902 George
went to Egypt where he operated a 5500 square mile concession and later
traveled on business to Harbin, China, returning to Australia in 1912.

THE JACKSON'S REEF GOLDMINING COMPANY.
[From the Argus,
June 15.]
A meeting of shareholders of the Jackson's Reef Goldmining Company,
Hall's Creek, Kimberley, was held last night at Scott's Hotel, for the
purpose of hearing explanations from Mr. J. Hartrick, formerly mining
manager of the company, respecting his conduct in reporting adversely on
the mine, and his action respecting the manner in which he had carried out
his duties while in the service of the company. Mr. D. Wilkie was voted to
the chair and there were about 60 or 70 shareholders present.
The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said the shareholders had
already had an interview with Mr. Hartrick, and he had now attended a
meeting of the shareholders to give explanations.
Mr. Hartrick then read the following report:—
"Melbourne, June 19,1888.—In order that there maybe no mistake
about the work done by me at your mine, and my opinion of its prospects, I
beg to lay before you the following statement :—I was appointed manager of
your company on the 19th September, 1887, and left Melbourne on the 28th,
but was recalled from Sydney to accompany Mr. Carr-Boyd to the mine. We
arrived at Wyndham on the 4th November, and found that all the machinery
had been delivered at that port, but that only a portion had been sent on
to the mine. I arrived on the ground on the 24th November, and proceeded
to inspect the mine and the surrounding country. The ground is hilly, but
devoid of vegetation, the ground being quite bare, with the rocks
protruding, thus showing the geological formation. The rook is slate, with
here and there small bunches of quartz associated with a crystalline
limestone. All these small outcrops of quartz on the company's ground had
been prospected for gold before my arrival, but I tried them all again,
and found no gold in any of them. These irregular quartz veins or bunches
cut out at very shallow depths, say 4ft. to 6ft., with the exception of
one which I followed to 25ft., when all traces of it were lost also. I was
therefore unable to to find any prospect on your ground, outside the main
workings, from which gold had been obtained. Here I found a shaft sunk
49ft., and driven 25ft. to the south at that level. The shaft was also
opened at about 22ft. from the surface, and a drive put in west about 4ft.
On examining this drive I found a vertical vein of so-called hœmatite,
about 4in. thick, bearing west, also a few disconnected patches of the
same ore in the south end of the shaft. I then tried prospects from all
these places, and found no gold in the patches, no gold in the vein at the
end of the west drive, and a little gold—but not in payable quantity—in
the back of the drive. In the bottom of the shaft there was a pipe or vein
of a mixture of slate and hœmatite about 2ft. in diameter, and nearly
circular in form. From this I obtained a few specks of gold, but nothing
at all payable. In the drive south there was no appearance of a vein or
lode of any description. At the east side of the bottom of the shaft there
was an irregular bunch of quartz, which I took out and carefully examined
for gold, but found none. I then proceeded to rise on the vein in the west
drive at 22ft, and found it to to contain more gold as the surface was
approached, and at 12ft. to 14ft. from the surface the vein increased to
about 14in. in thickness, and for 4ft. or 5ft. in length and about 3ft. in
height contained gold in large quantities, but 3ft. or 4ft. higher up the
vein ran out altogether. I then tried the patches to the South, and found
they contained only a little gold, and did not extend more than 2ft. or
3ft. During my absence, when attending to the carriage of the machinery,
Joseph Hill, who was in charge of the mine, took out all the vein stuff in
the neighbourhood, say 10 to 12 tons, and put it with the crushing stuff.
In the meantime Hill discovered a body of quartz 85ft. east of the main
workings, and sank a shaft on it, which was down 40 ft. on my return, but
no gold had been seen from top to bottom. So much for the mine ; and when
it is taken into account that the district is difficult of access, that
appliances are not easily obtained, and that labour is scarce, dear, and
not very skilled, it will be at once seen that there can be no chance of
the mine becoming profitable, for even if the property were situated near
one of the Victorian goldfields, with all appliances and a supply of
labour at hand, the mine would at most only have paid a small party of men
or fossickers to work the patch, but could not possibly pay a company. The
largest bunch of auriferous stuff—for I can hardly call it a lode—was, say
10ft. long by 4ft. wide, and probably 25ft. deep. In addition to this, the
vein extending west was about 12ft. in depth, 4ft. to 5ft. in length, and
say 1ft. thick, or to put it in another way, the total amount of vein
stuff, if taken free from mullock, would be some 80 or 90 tons. From this
must be deducted the amount of gold obtained by the original prospectors,
and with which they paid their expenses. It will be easily understood
that, having heard such glowing accounts of the mine and its prospects on
my appointment, I was terribly disappointed when I examined the mine. To
me, personally, success was everything—credit, pocket, position, all being
at stake—failure the very worst thing that could happen to me, and my
inclination as well as my interest was to make the mine a success ; but
when I was fully convinced that failure was inevitable, that the mine was
worthless where opened up, and that there was no prospect of finding
anything else in the neighbourhood, I conceived it to be my duty to the
directors and shareholders to acquaint them with the truth as soon as
possible, unpalatable though it must be."
The Chairman asked Mr. E. W. Spain, the legal manager of the
company, whether a report was not taken down of the interview which took
place between the directors and Mr. Hatrick, and whether that report could
not be now read.
Mr. E. W. Spain replied that there was not any report, and that a
person did attend to take shorthand notes of the interview, but was not
expert enough and his notes were not legible.
The Chairman stated that he was present at the interview with the
directors as chairman of a committee appointed at a meeting of
shareholders. At the interview Mr. Hartrick stated that when he had been
eight days at the mine he went to Mount Dockerell with Mr. Carr-Boyd and
Mr. Giles ; and when he was asked why he did so could not give any
satisfactory answer. Mr. Hartrick returned in a few days to the mine from
Mount Dockerell, and a mail left Hall's Creek about the 4th December, and
some gentlemen received information that Mr. Hartrick's report would be
unfavourable to the mine. Those persons commenced to unload their shares,
and the consequence was that the shares fell down from 8s. or 9s. to 4s.
or 5s. After Mr. Hartrick returned from Mount Dockerell he sent a most
damaging report of the mine to the directors. At the interview with the
directors. Mr. Hartrick denied having given any report to any person
respecting the mine before he sent his report to the directors, but on
being questioned he admitted that he had spoken to the goldfields warden,
and probably to other people about his opinion of the mine. The directors
in fact had evidence that he made statements to several people that the
mine was a swindle and a fraud, and would never be any good. Mr. Hartrick
went away to Mount Dockerell to report on other mines for Mr. Carr-Boyd,
although he was at the time being paid by the company. At the latter part
of December Mr. Hartrick left the mine and went to Wyndham, and when he
was asked by the directors why he did so, stated that he went to look
after the machinery. It was not, however, his duty to look after the
machinery, and he was, therefore, acting illegally and improperly when he
did so. He was at Wyndham some time looking after the machinery, and
telegraphed to the directors that the mine prospects were improving. At
the interview with the directors they asked him how he could send that
telegram when he had not been near the mine for weeks, and he replied that
he heard "it was going better." On the 21st March he returned to the mine,
but he did not make any examination of the mine, and immediately
afterwards came back to Melbourne instead of sinking the shaft further or
prospecting the mine more thoroughly. When asked by the Directors at the
interview why he did not try the mine further he gave most unsatisfactory
answers, and at last admitted that he had acted in a very foolish way. On
the 21st February Mr. Giles sent a telegram to Melbourne to buy Jackson's
Reef shares at 10s. and asked Mr. Hartrick if that would be right and he
replied that it would. Mr. Carr-Boyd also sent a telegram about the mine
on the same day which Mr. Hartrick knew of, and which it was understood he
signed.
A number of questions was then put to Mr. Hartrick by the chairman
and shareholders. He said that he went to Mount Dockerell because Mr.
Carr-Boyd said it was the desire of Mr. Oswald that he should go there and
see the place. He had acted as a fair and honest man to the Company. When
he reached the mine things were utterly different from what had been
represented to him in Melbourne, and therefore he considered he had to act
in the direction he thought best. There was supposed to be an extremely
rich lode in the mine, but he could not see any sign of it. He did not
write a report to the directors by the mail on the 4th December, because
he wanted to see the result of what was then being done at the mine. He
did not take any bearings of the lode, as the company did not supply him
with a compass.
A Shareholder.—Does the lode run in the same direction all the way
along, or does it dip?
Mr. Hartrick.—There was no lode whatever, nor any lode foundation.
There were simply occasional bunches at various depths without any walls,
or anything whatever indicating to any man with a knowledge of mining that
there was such a thing as a lode in existence in the place. The only vein
where there was a rich stone ran out.
The Chairman.—Do you think you are entitled to your salary, or any
part of it ?
Mr. Hartrick replied that he considered that he was entitled to his
salary up to the 21st March, when he gave up charge. In answer to another
question, he said he had admitted to the directors that it was not his
duty to have left the mine at the latter end of December and gone after
the machinery, bnt he would say now that it was his duty.
The Chairman.—The syndicate was to have put up the machinery, and
therefore it was not your duty to go to Wyndham, after
it.
In reply to other questions,
Mr. Hartrick said that before he left the mine on the 30th December
to go after the machinery he gave instructions for the men to go on
sinking the shaft. When he went back to the mine he did not go down the
shaft to see what the men had done; but he looked down it. (Laughter.) He
was then no longer manager, and he did not think it his duty to go down
the shaft. He went to Port Darwin because he thought he would have got a
telegram there from the directors, asking whether it was worth while to go
on with the machinery, and if he had received it he would have replied
that it was not. He thought, in fact, that the directors would telegraph
to him to stop the machinery. While he was at Port Darwin he was asked by
Mr. Baxter to manage a mine for Mr. Miller, and he replied that he could
not do so, as he was in the employ of the Jackson's Reef Company, but if
they would release him he would return to Port Darwin and manage the mine.
He could not say whether it was before the 4th of December he told the
gold warden his opinion of the mine. When he got to the mine, and was
shown what was said to be the lode, he said that if that was the lode it
was a queer thing. He never said to Mr. Ernest Giles that the mine was a
swindle. It was not true that he had said the telegram Mr. Giles was
sending was correct. Mr. Carr-Boyd did not tell him what was in the
telegram which he sent. His name was not attached to that telegram.
Mr. Ernest Giles made a short statement, in which he said that he
sent the telegram from Port Darwin to buy shares at 10s each, because he
heard that rich stone was struck at the mine. He read the telegram to Mr.
Hartrick, and asked him if there was anything in it he could take
exception to, and he said there was
not.
Mr. Carr-Boyd—I was present and heard it
read.
Mr. Giles stated that Mr. M'Kenzie as well as Mr. Carr-Boyd was
present when he read the telegram to Mr. Hartrick. It was his opinion now
that if the mine were properly managed it would be a good one.
Mr. Carr-Boyd also made a statement, in which he said that no blame
could be attached to Mr. Hartrick for going with him to Mount Dockerell,
because there was no dynamite to on working the mine with, and they were
only away a few days. On the 14th February he wrote a telegram containing
the words, "Jackson's struck fine lode, showing heavy gold. Hartrick takes
this. We follow by steamer." Mr. Hartrick took that telegram from him on
the 14th, and sent it on from Port Darwin on the 21st February.
Mr. Hartrick stated that it was not true that he knew what the
contents of the telegrams were that Mr. Carr-Boyd and Mr. Giles sent.
After a number of other questions had been put to Mr. Hartrick and
answered by him, he said, in reply to the chairman, that he would not put
a cent in the mine now, and that he did not consider it worth anything.
A shareholder proposed a resolution to the effect that the
shareholders had every confidence in the mine, but none in Mr. Hartrick's
report.
A motion condemnatory of Mr. Hartrick's action was proposed by Mr.
Oakley, seconded by Mr. Jeffery, and carried unanimously.
Mr. E. W. Spain, the manager, stated in reply to a question, that
Mrs. Hartrick had received £4 per week, or half of Mr. Hartrick's salary,
during the whole time he was in the company's employment, and, indeed, up
to the last few weeks.
The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

ANCIENT MINING.
A LETTER FROM EGYPT.
Mr. Henry Hartrick, of Walhalla, has received from his brother, Mr. J. S.
Hartrick, who was for fourteen years an employee of the Long Tunnel
Company, and afterwards spent several years, at the Ballarat School of
Mines, says the Melbourne "Argus." the following interesting letter
regarding mining operations in Egypt. Mr. Hartrick writes from Siega, 130
miles out from Assouan :—"Ten days after reaching London from Johannesburg
I was on my way to Egypt to take charge of a block of country bounded by
the 22nd degree of north latitude and the 23rd degree of north latitude,
and from the 34th to the 35th parallels of east longitude, say 5500 square
miles, called a concession. Not much chance of driving over the boundaries
from the centrally situated mines. It now appears there are a great number
of old mines in this country, some worked for gold, and some for emeralds
but mostly for gold, and opened by the ancients. The natives here say the
Romans opened the mine I am working. Possibly they did : but whoever it
was they had metal tools, and I suppose the Egyptians of 4000 or 5000
years ago must have had metal tools for their quarries. I am opening a
mine here that was worked about 400 ft. in length, and in places 20 ft.
wide. They left no gold in their faces that I can find by panning. The
lode runs north and south, with a slight underlie east, and the shoots
pitch north into a hill. No timber was used by the ancients, as not a
stick grows in the country. They left blocks of ground to support the
walls ; but these blocks are mostly poor. As my plan was to get under the
old workings, which I do not think are deep, I began a shaft, to prospect
on the lode at the south end of the old workings. The hole is a
talcose-schistose formation, showing no quartz. Soon after starting I got
a little gold in the soft seams of decomposed lode matter, and now, at 30
ft. in depth have 3 ft. of ore equal to 2 oz. per ton, and 2 ft. 6 in.
equal to 15 dwt. There is a footwall, but no hanging-wall. The shoot, is
pitching north and is thus something different from that formerly worked.
At 50 ft. I intend to drive under, and run the old workings from air
shaft, and then go on down to water level, if possible. My chance seems
very good ; but it will take two or three years before there is much
doing—no water, no fuel, no roads. I am packing drinking water thirty-five
miles. About five miles from here there are three old mines close
together. I also know of several mines in the concession never heard of
before. The gold here is like flour ; and all through the lode. The
ancients ground it in stone mills, the size of the mill depending on the
superficial area of the stone. The stone gradually ground away until it
assumed the shape of a Berdan pan ; but, after it became 3in. or 4in.
deep, they broke away a piece, presumably to allow of a discharge. The
tailings remaining here are wonderfully fine. I have asked the Egyptian
Government for permission to send me one of the old mills to the Ballarat
School of Mines. It will be a curiosity. All old things here are called
antiquities and are claimed by the Egyptian Government in the leases
issued. The English occupation of Egypt has worked wonders in the
country.''

Sydney Morning Herald 29 June 1912 p16

Gold Mines in China
SYDNEY, Monday—Mr. J. S. Hartrick has returned to Sydney from the gold
workings in China, whither he went on behalf of a syndicate in Hongkong,
which had obtained a concession. The mines visited have been worked for
ages. One mine is 700ft. deep. The Chinese in outback parts of the country
know nothing about amalgamation, or any of the modern methods of treating
gold ores. They crushed the ore by means of a granite roller worked by
mule or Mongolian pony, the pulverised mass being afterwards washed in
wooden dishes. A great deal of the gold is thus lost. Once they got below
the oxidised zone the mine was no use to them. They could not extract gold
in a deep mine. He has spoken of a free milling proposition to have the
gold put into quills and sent to buyers in Pekin and elsewhere. Mr.
Hartrick has good opinions of the Chinese in the interior. They are a
different people altogether from those in the coastal
districts.
Mr. Hartrick says that although no one can deny that
Christianity is a more unlifting religion than Confucianism, no good is
done by endeavouring to foist a foreign religion on to people who do not
want it, and who laugh at us because we are split up into so many
different sects, and do not ourselves follow the religion we professed.

MINING ENGINEER PASSES
Death of Mr. John S. Hartrick
There died at Elsternwick, Victoria, recently, Mr. John S. Hartrick, a
mining engineer who played his part in the early development of the mining
industry in this State. Coming to Western Australia in 1894, he was early
on the Murchison, where be represented much British capital, and rendered
valuable assistance to prospectors and others in opening up some of the
leases which, subsequently became valuable gold producers. Amongst the
properties he was connected with, were the Edna May, at Westonia, which he
bought and later floated a company to work, the Empress, at Lennonville,
and the Fingall Extended at Cue. Mr. Hartrick was particularly well known
amongst the "old hands" on many fields and they will regret the passing of
a former comrade.
The late Mr. Hartrick was a graduate of the Ballarat School of
Mines, his father having been a mine manager at Walhalla. The story goes
that his mother held him in a big open chimney for protection during the
famous Eureka Stockade. Perhaps the event which first brought the deceased
gentlemen into. prominence was a condemnatory report on Jackson's Reef in
the Northern Territory, just over 40 years ago. That report raised a storm
of protest at the time, but subsequent events and results proved that Mr.
Hartrick was right. After leaving Western Australia the deceased followed
his profession in Egypt and the Far East, but for some years he has been
living quietly at Elsternwick. He enjoyed splendid health until about 6
months ago, when a breakdown came. He is survived by his widow and Mr. L.
W. Hartrick, of Perth, is a son.
The
Daily News (Perth, Western Australia) 21 February 1928 p6
The death occurred last week at his home in Hoddle-street, Elsternwick,
Victoria, of Mr. J. S. Hartrick, who many years ago was a well-known
identity on the goldfields and. throughout the Murchison where he had
established himself from Melbourne in 1894. After the gold rush, Mr.
Hartrick represented a number of English companies on the 'fields, and in
1902 left Western Australian for Egypt on business. Following a successful
career in that country, Mr. Hartrick returned to Victoria where he lived
in retirement up to the time of his death.

Dear Uncle Tom,—This is the first time I have ever written to you,
so I hope you will accept me as one of your nieces. I read "The Daily
News" every Saturday, and am very pleased to hear of the great success of
those who try to raise the Thermometer, and if anyone in any
out-of-the-way place wants anyone to help them in any concert at all, I am
quite willing to help them. I am in the sixth standard at school, and I
hope at the end of the year to shift to the seventh. I must close now,
hoping you will have me for your niece.—I remain, your loving niece,

£100 FROM TOYS FOR COMFORTS
A cheque for £100 has been handed to the Australian Comforts Fund
by Mrs. L. E. Norgard, of Victoria Park.
This represents the proceeds from the sale of 150 toy animals made
by Mrs Norgard from scraps of fur and other fabrics.
Mrs Norgard had never made a toy animal until last Easter. Then,
with the aid of a child's picture book and a piece of black fur fabric,
she fashioned a Scotty.
Jock, she called him, and Jock was so successful that dogs, lions,
tigers and zebras joined him.
A few went to private orders, but the majority were sold at
Christmas time by Moore's, who gave a window display of the toys in aid of
the comforts fund.
Kind people answered Mrs Norgard's plea for discarded fur collars
and such. A horse grew out of white kid, a tiger out of chamois leather, a
lion out of chamois leather with fur round the neck, and a zebra out of
striped silk.
This year Mrs Norgard will devote the proceeds of her work to the
Red Cross Prisoners of War Fund. She has a few orders to start on, is
prepared to accept more at her home, 42 Leonard Street, Victoria Park.
Gifts of fur and other fabrics would be welcomed.

Herbert John Neville in 1911 in
Victoria, Australia
Herbert was born in Tasmania. He was a blacksmith and wheelwright in
Balnarring, Victoria. The Neville family home and the blacksmith's shop were
side by side on Frankston-Flinders Road in Balnarring.
Western Port News 22 November 2011 p19
The village
smithy
THE blacksmith or "smithy" was close to the corner junction near
Balnarring General Store. It occupies the site where Balnarring Panels now
stands. The blacksmith was Herbert (Bert) Neville. He was born in Tasmania
and he set up as a blacksmith in Balnarring about the time of the First
World War. He was also a wheelwright, building and repairing carts and
carriages as well as doing farrier work.
His daughter, Joyce Temby, remembers as a child she was
affectionately nicknamed “Dirty Face” because she was “Dad's shadow” and
often in the smithy with him.
He always had a special job for her to do. Wearing an old sugarbag
pinafore made to cover her school clothes, she loved to take a turn at the
forge making S-shaped hooks, which were used to suspend cooking pots over
the open wood fire in the kitchen. She remembers her father shoeing
horses.
“The owners held the horses while Dad was shoeing them. There was a
big gum tree outside the front and there was one particular horse that
would be tied to the tree. He would just about turn somersaults.”
The tree stump is still there.
The blacksmith was often called on to act as a veterinarian for
horses too.
The building is remembered as a big, unpainted tin shed with an
earth floor. It was a “bush crafted” building with upright supports made
from thick tree stumps.
When Bert wanted to start up a smithy he had little money to spend
on a building. Phil VanSuylen told him to cut the trees he needed from his
paddock and Frank Stacey, who had the timber yard in Bittern, told him to
take what he wanted and pay him back when he could.
Brenda Stone, who took her horse there to be shod in the early
1950's, recalls that there were two or three compartments on the
right-hand side, about three to four feet wide, into which a horse could
be backed. These were also made from poles. The dirt of the floor in the
stalls was hollowed out, worn away over the years by the horses.
At the back of the shed was a big square bin about two feet high
full of coke and ashes. The furnace was in the middle, the anvil close by,
and towards the back was a huge set of bellows with a handle. There was an
old tree stump with a hessian bag over it for a seat and Bert sat there
and operated the bellows.
A slack tub for cooling the hot metal rims when they had been
fitted onto the wooden wheels stood not far from the anvil. The tiring
plate was at the back of the smithy. Inside the smithy there was also a
vice and bench and along the left-hand wall were pigeonholes where screws,
bolts, and bits and pieces of various sizes were stashed.
By the 1950's there was a huge heap of scrap metal on the floor of
the forge just inside the door, the accumulation of bits and pieces left
over from work done on buggies. The heap had grown high over the years.
Like most smithies, the building had a “Steptoe” look about it. It had the
characteristic smell of hot metal shoes being fitted onto horses’ hooves.
The iron used in the blacksmith’s shop came by train. The station was
nearly opposite the smithy.
Bert Neville had several apprentices over the years. Some lived
with the family and, according to Joyce, “were almost like one of the
family”. Nick Halley was apprenticed to Bert about the time of the First
World War. He was then a lad of about 14. Later he left the district and,
before the Second World War, worked throughout Victoria. Halley kept in
contact with Balnarring, periodically bringing his father down on the back
of his motorbike for a spot of rabbit shooting. Bert referred to Mr.
Halley senior as “Doctor Halley” because he always wore a stiff white
collar and tie. In later years Bert’s son, Ray, worked with his father in
the blacksmithing business.
With the disappearance of horse transport and the introduction of
mass-produced machinery, the need for the craft of the rural blacksmith
swindled away. After the smithy closed down, the building stood empty for
some time until it was finally dismantled to make way for the building of
the panel shop in the late 1970s.
Herbert died on 22 April 1954 in Balnarring, and was buried at Crib Point
cemetery on 24 April 1954.

NEW VICTIM AT ROBBERS' ROOST
Says the Chicago "Evening American" of August 19 last:—"A reign of
terror in which robbers and pick pockets for months have slugged and
fleeced victims at the Archer-avenue car line limits brought a complaint
to the police to-day from P. G. Hartrick, 58 St. Clair street, that 80
dollars were taken from him Sunday afternoon. He was awaiting a Joliet car
when he was robbed.
"From five to ten victims a week have been reported from this spot
for months. Two police officers have been assigned to the place on Sunday,
but complainants pay that they spend Sunday drinking in a saloon. No
arrests have been made."
Mr. Hartrick's family reside in Perth, and up to two years ago he
was employed at Messrs. Sargood, Butler, Nichol, and Ewen. Then having a
mind to travel and see the world, he went to U.S.A. and got a good
position at Sargoods. One of his brothers, from whom the above cutting was

By the Perth '"Morning Herald," a copy of which has just
reached us, we notice the name of a Benalla boy—viz., Mr Victor Hartrick,
a son of Mr Geo Hartrick, for years sheriff's officer in our midst. Mr
Hartrick, jun., was a mere lad when his parents left here for the Western
State, but is now, of course, a man and is secretary for Dr. Roth, who has
lately been making startling revelations as to the injustices which are
being inflicted on the natives in the northern and north-western portion
of the State alluded to. As showing the comparative penalties imposed in
this respect, Dr. Roth declares that, while a native gets three years'
imprisonment for killing a beast for food, a white man who steals a black
gin from her husband at the point of the revolver is subjected to a fine
of only £5. Dr. Roth has called 42 witnesses in support of his
allegations, 13 of the number being priests attached to mission stations.
It will thus he seen that Dr. Roth is on solid ground regarding his
accusations. The immorality of the whites among the blacks is, according
to his statements, most appalling.

The social memories of Mr and Mrs Geo. Hartrick,
two popular erstwhile residents of Benalla, who settled in Western
Australia five and a half years ago, were rejuvenated last week in an
unexpected way. Their son Victor paid a visit to Benalla and called upon
numerous old acquaintances. When Victor left here with his parents he was
a mere lad and a great favorite with townspeople, but when he returned to
the place last week not one of those who knew him as a boy could recognise
him, he was so manly and portly. The object of his visit to Victoria was
to take part in the Commonwealth celebrations as a member of the West
Australian contingent. He was one of 350 who came here on that mission and
300 of the number were Victorians. During his stay in our midst he was a
guest of Mr and Mrs D. Maughan, of the Bank of New South Wales. Altogether
his sojourn lasted for only two days and a night, most of which time was
expended in calling upon old friends. "Vic." received a very warm welcome
everywhere he went, and so enthusiastic were his old mates about him that
a large crowd assembled to welcome him on Sunday last and there after went
for a walk some miles into the country. Victor was a harbinger of pleasant
and interesting light whilst amongst us, in that he was able to relate the
fact that his parents reside in a suburb of the Western State and that
they are prospering, having overcome the misfortune, which befel them
after leaving here, by the destruction by fire of their belongings at the
Perth railway station.
Victor served in the No.1 W. A. Battery of the Australian Field Artillery,
reaching the rank of sergeant (Western Mail (Perth, Western Australia) 14

the racecourse, she would not go there, as it would spoil her pleasure.
ENTRANCE CHARGE.
Another reason why she was in favour of betting by telephone was because
the entrance fee to the races was expensive for a man and his wife. She
considered that one could have all one's bets for the day for the price of
the entrance fee. A woman liked to dress well when going to the races, so
frocking was an additional expense.

and was cremated at Karrakatta cemetery with a rose memorial in the

Man's Death.
Shortly after he was missed from a room where he was staying
temporarily at Claremont, Lionel William Hartrick (58) of the Great
Eastern-highway, Belmont, was found dead in the river near a private jetty
west of Point Resolution on Saturday morning. Mr. Hartrick, who had been
staying with friends in Victoria avenue, Claremont, for a few days, was
managing-director of Westralian Auto Services. Ltd., which conduct the
Tivoli Garage, Hay-street, and managing-director for Crystal Park, Ltd.,
on the Esplanade. He was a member of the committee of the W.A. Hunt Club
for several years and had acted as ringmaster at the Royal Agricultural
Show. Since returning from the Great War Mr. Hartrick has been
periodically under medical treatment and lately has been in a depressed
condition. He is survived by a widow.
When he was missed by his friends in Claremont, the Nedlands and
Claremont police were notified and about ten minutes later the Claremont
police were informed that a man's body clothed in pyjamas and slippers was
floating in the river near a private jetty. Two men recovered the body,
which was identified as that of the missing man, and Constable Menzel took
the remains to the morgue. There was a wound in the man's throat and about
40ft. from the end of the jetty bloodstains and an open razor were found.

Last War's Reactions Cause Suicide
The late 58-year-old Lionel William Hartrick, garage proprietor and
well-known huntsman, was a victim of neurasthenia (brain and nerve
exhaustion) suffered in the last war.
This was revealed at the inquest into his death today.
Two friends of Hartrick's, Reginald Goyne Miller, his
brother-in-law, and well-known bookmaker Patrick Joseph Healy, gave
evidence that Hartrick had suffered from severe mental depression for the
last 12 months.
Hartrick told both of them, it was said, that he was afraid of what
he might do to himeslf.
Reginald Goyne Miller said that Hartrick had no financial troubles.
Thomas Overgaard, an engineer living at 154 Victoria-avenue,
Dalkeith, told how, going to his workshop on the beach about 7.45 a.m. on
September 23 he saw a white object floating near the end of the jetty but
did not take any notice of it.
Later, he said two boys came running in and told him there was a
man's body floating in the water.
He told his wife to ring the police. In the meantime Mr. Healy came
rushing down from his nearby home, he said.
Tows Body
Ashore
He went out in a dinghy and towed the body ashore. The man's throat
was cut, he said.
Later he walked out on the jetty and found a blood-stained razor
and its case.
There was a trail of blood leading off the jetty into the water.
Patrick Joseph Healy said that Hartrick was staying at his house at
168 Victoria-avenue.
Healy said that about 7.30 a.m. on September 23 he noticed Hartrick
was missing.
He thought that Hartrick had most probably gone for a walk on the
beach, he said, and went down after him.
No Trace
He asked some boys playing on the beach, but they had not seen him.
He went back and scoured the bush and reserves around Dalkeith and
rang all his friends but there was no trace of Hartrick.
He was walking down to the beach again, he said, and saw Overgaard
and two women looking at an object in the river.
He rushed up, he said, and saw that it was Hartrick floating in the
river with his throat cut.
Hartrick had seemed almost continually depressed for the last
twelve months, he said, and told him that he was frightened what he might
do to himself.
Dr. D. S. MacKenzie gave evidence that Hartrick died from a cut
throat and haemorrhage.
Hartrick was still alive when he went into the water, he declared.
Acting-Coroner J. P. Hennelly found that Hartrick died at Claremont
on September 23 from a cut throat and haemorrhage self-inflicted while
suffering from nervous depression.
[Mr. J. P. Hennelly was the Acting-Coroner and was assisted by Sgt.
A. M. Campbell.]

private jetty almost below Mr. Healy's home.

Club, Mr. Hartrick was also ringmaster at the Royal Show for many years.
Police received a report about 9 a.m. today that Mr. Hartrick was
missing from Mr. Healy's Victoria-avenue house. Within a few minutes they
were informed by telephone that a man's body had been found floating face
downwards in the river.
BOATBUILDER
SEES BODY
Constable L. W. Menzel. of Claremont, went to the spot and found
that the man, later identified as Mr. Hartrick, had been taken from the
water by a boatbuilder named Overgaard and another man.
Overgaard said today that he saw something in the water from his
nearby premises early this morning.
About the time Mr. Hartrick's disappearance was reported, Overgaard
established that the object was a body.
A married man, Mr. Hartrick lived in the Great Eastern-highway,
Belmont.
Born in Gippsland, Victoria, he came to this State before 1914 and
was interested in goldmining at Cue, being one of the pioneers of the
district.

A.I.F. When demobilised he tried to obtain the site occupied today by the
Tivoli Garage. Unsuccessful, he went to Sydney, but came back to Perth,
and in 1923 secured the site and established the garage.
