Moulline Deputation Seeks Open Cyanide Plant and Extra Stamps
A Mulline deputation asked Mr Lefroy for construction of ten more stamp heads at the Mulline Government battery and for a cyanide plant with concentrators. They cited 6400 tons crushed yielding 8320 ounces of gold and noted 3000 tons awaiting treatment, with ore near seven miles distant and mining activity hampered by processing delays. Lefroy endorsed open-vat cyanide hopes and, upon inspector return from Norseman, planned to proceed with erecting the plant and consider extra stamps if water supply allowed.

Censured Commanders and Army Critics Through History
Armchair strategists mocked Lord Robert and British officers as a stupid set. Wellington's harsh judgments on subordinates, Napier's parallels, Suchet's withdrawal, and Napoleon's always critical letters show officers often feared censure. Bonaparte praised and blamed. Chateaubriand provoked lenient punishment. Blucher faced similar charges of feeble war conduct.

Australians vs. Boers tale in Cape hotel letters
A Daily Express letter from Cape Town recounts an Irregular Horse frontman praising Australians as keen but headstrong. Three Australians reportedly misreported a battle with seventy Boers after separating into three positions, shouting and firing until returning to tea. The piece uses the anecdote to illustrate overconfidence and questions British army awareness.

Gippsland Tragedy inquest continues over Aubrey death
The coronial inquiry into Alice Elizabeth Aubrey's death was resumed. Evidence places her at Daweon Gippsland with brother-in-law J H Sanderman when John Ferrier a 30 year old farm laborer and employer’s worker shot her at close range. Ferrier fled to Heyfield but was later arrested. The motive appears tied to Aubrey's rejection of Ferrier’s advances, leading to his drinking and moodiness. The post mortem cites hemorrhage and lung entry from the gunshot as the cause. The inquest is adjourned.
