AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set on the Kiandra goldfields soon after the rush began, a cultivated gold buyer, John Harris, comes between the honest miner Louey Mills, and his love, Norma Lane, the 'Belle'. Inflamed by the scheming 'Lip-trap Hardy' who plans to rob Harris, Mills is incited to shoot Harris who - having seduced Norma - is leaving the diggings. Hardy tomahawks Harris to death and with the aid of trackers he is captured and tried. Mills finally meets his death in the Second Maori war in New Zealand. (PB)
