Proposed Leonora Laws Railway plan boosts mining region
At a Rail way League meeting the general circular advocating the Leonora to Lawlers extension was approved. Gold output to May reached 744 728 fine oz with ore shipments at 1 504 758 tons. Five months of this year show 34 254 fine oz, suggesting strong future profits and justification for extending the line to Wiluna. Mining revenue for 18 stood at £2965, with early-year figures indicating gains when funds are reinvested. The proposal cites Norseman as a benchmark and notes the State Mining Engineer’s view that the project could become the state’s most important mining railway once Parliament authorises it.

Garden Notes for July Weather and drainage guide for gardens
July is the wettest month with little plant growth. Sowing late in the season risks poorer germination. August sowing may yield quicker, better growth. The piece advises drainage improvements, using affordable pipes and open drains, to prevent waterlogging. It covers orchard drainage, soil warming, and recommends stable manure use, with specific notes on artichokes, asparagus, and seed sowing timelines.
