He went on to be the Company Secretary and retired in 1949.
The fact that Broken Hill is still operating 135 years after it was discovered and provided the finance to establish BHP and RIO is truly remarkable.
It has been, by far, the richest mine in the world’s mining history.
It produced the best mining people the world has ever known.
