Wilkinson was held by his colleagues and the public, than by

chief, Mr. C. 8. Wilkinson, conveyed in my formal resignation, I 
am forced to admit that it is impossible for me to express in 
words all that I owe to him. It was not only his skill asa field 
geologist, but also his large hearted love of humanity, his unselfish-

as well as to the whole mining community and people of New 
South Wales.” _
