- Close upon fifty years ago the late Mr. Patrick Malone, a staunch Irishman, opened up gold mines at Gordon and Egerton, including a rich kaolin mine at Egerton. The latter mine was worked by him for several years, and after his death his daughter, Miss Margaret Malone, became the owner of the property. Still working the mine, Miss Malone, who supervises work both on the surface and also in the workings below, probably holds the unique position of being the only woman mine owner in Australia. Last week she made application to the Minister for Mines for another lease of Crown lands adjacent to her original claim, which has been worked since her father first opened the shaft.[1]
