Working underground at Blackwater Mine

Underground with three men whom Divis knew well: mine manager Tas Hogg, with the shovel, shift boss Tom Beckwith, holding a pick, and union president S.P. Williams, with a miner's drill and bowyanged trousers. The undoubted star of the show is the gold-bearing quartz reef, which did not need the added illumination of the candle at the centre to make it gleam.
