[QUOTE="jethro, post: 214838, member: 1297"] Hey golddigga. Interesting to note that by the 1880s the alluvial including deeplead mining had all but finished. whereas the deeplead mines between chiltern and the murray river around rutherglen were just getting into full swing around then and didnt wind down until the first world war. I think water in these lead was much heavier as they used a slightly different method of opening the leads and draining the goldbearing drift prior to mining. It was called the upland method.
