[3] The Ballarat Star newspaper reported on the early days during a later gold-mining revival by the Bald Hills Quartz and Alluvial Company in 1880: MINING REVIVAL AT BALD HILLS.

For many years past there has been very little mining carried on there, a period of comparative quietude having succeeded the good old days when the Bald Hills Lead and its three tributaries, namely, the Havilah, the Princess, and the Red Streak, were yielding their rich stores to the miners.

Then a group of companies, comprising the Prospectus, the Homeward Bound, the Sons of Justice, the Young Sons of Justice, the Morning Star, the Garibaldi, the Alliance, and several other companies, were all busily engaged in unearthing the precious metal.
