A Talisman Tale - This is my favourite Talisman story, from about 1906:

Mr George Campbell, Chief Assayer for the Talisman, recorded:
"In places the quartz in the Talisman Mine was exceedingly rich, and on one occasion the General Manager called me up at 2a.m. saying he had just had a phone call from the Shift Boss, reporting that they had broken into a huge vugg (n1) in the reef and that it looked like a jeweller's shop. He suggested me going up to the mine with him to see it. Needless to say I was out of bed, dressed in no time, and together we proceeded to the mine and into the workings to view the great hole in the reef. Words could not express the beauty of what we saw. There were large festoons of pure, metallic silver as fine and glistening as spun silk. We were lost in awe and admiration as we moved the candles from one position to another."

note 1) vugg (a mining term) a small cavity in a rock or vein

Best of luck for tomorrow to all fellow NTL Holders!
