Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-068] Published a ten-page sixpenny booklet, "The Prince Albert Goldfields with Map", in 1891. His map is the only surviving picture of how the field was actually pegged: the large claims of Danie du Plessis's EARLY BIRD SYNDICATE alongside small ones called Watson's Peg, Eyre's Shaft and Saunders's Shaft, and the workings at Main Creek and One Speck Creek. Named among those who reported on the gold, with Geological Surveyor Andrew Wyley and, later, G.S. Corstorphine and A.W. Rogers.
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
