Plate Twelve: Prospecting for Gold or Rewarded at Last

Caption: Gold fields are discovered generally by parties going out to seek for them, either through the rewards offered by the Government, or else the inducement of having an extended claim, these parties are called prospectors, in some cases they stick to a certain locality until their last shilling is expended.  Our illustration depicts a party discovering gold after being reduced to the last stage of poverty.

Artist: Loosely based on drawings by S.T. Gill, including some plates from The Australian sketchbook.
