Sydney Cowper publishes a sixpenny guide with a map of the claims

1891 · local · Prince Albert

Ten pages, "The Prince Albert Goldfields with Map". The map is the only surviving picture of how the field was actually pegged: the large claims of Danie du Plessis's Early Bird Syndicate beside small ones called Watson's Peg, Eyre's Shaft and Saunders's Shaft, and workings at Main Creek and One Speck Creek. Gillet's rival book came out the same year from the same publisher.
