This camp included a Sub Inspector, two Sergeants, a Corporal, six mounted and twelve-foot Constables, a Postmaster, Clerk and Tent Keeper. For a while this was the headquarters for the entire Mining District. 1 1853 Moliagul: Opened in 1853 along with Surface Gully. Their richness influenced the moving of the settlement from Commissioners Gully to where the township is now. 2 1853: Burnt Creek, the creek itself, was so-called before gold digging started, but Burnt Creek goldfield, situated about two miles south of Dunolly, started with the discovery of gold early in 1853, and at a rush later that year ... Between August and October 1853 the Commissioners’ Camp at Jones Creek was shifted to Burnt Creek, where there had been a rush ... By April 1854 there had been an increase in population at Burnt Creek, and there were 400 diggers there in July. Digging was going on in Quaker’s Gully and two large nuggets were found there in 1854, by October there were 900 on the rush, and the Bet Bet reef was discovered. By November 1854 the gold workings extended three miles from Bet Bet to Burnt Creek and a Commissioners’ Camp was started at Bet Bet, near where Grant’s hotel was later.

Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

A Miner’s Right is a permit to prospect for minerals on unreserved Crown Land or Private Land where the permission of the landowner has been granted. 2. What is prospecting / fossicking? Prospecting involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or simple sluices in the search for gold and gemstones. 3. Why is a Miner’s Right required to prospect for minerals? All minerals belong to the Crown, even on private land. A Miner’s Right transfers the ownership of any minerals found whilst prospecting, to the holder of the Miners Right. 4. Who needs a Miner’s Right? Anyone searching for minerals needs to have an exploration licence, a mining licence or a Miner’s Right. 5. Does that mean that a Miner’s Right is required even if you are fossicking on your own land? Yes. 6. How much is a Miner’s Right? Refer to Earth Resources Fees and Charges 7. How long does a Miner’s Right last? You can purchase a Miner’s Right for 2 or 10 years, but not exceeding 10. 8. Do pensioners, people who are unemployed or people with disabilities receive any concessional discount if they purchase a Miner’s Right? No. 9. Do hobbyists or gemstone seekers require a Miner’s Right? Yes. 10. If a family goes away prospecting and fossicking does each family member need a Miner’s Right?
