He sailed to Albany, Western Australia in October 1893[2] with his brother Ned, and according to one report travelled on foot to Coolgardie (some 700 km), where they worked the Coonega and Lady Margaret goldfields near Comet Vale,[1] though the credit for their discovery may belong to their associate Dan Baker.
[2] By 1897 he was BHP's representative in Western Australia, with temporary offices in Hannan Street, Kalgoorlie, offering to purchase gold-bearing ore of any description.
[7] In 1907 he resigned both positions (replaced by Archie Hay and Robert S. Black) to set up a tin dredging plant at Greenbushes, Western Australia, which he ran for 17 years.
[8] He died at his home at 31 Angelo Street, South Perth and his remains were interred in the Church of England section of Karrakatta Cemetery.
[9] Mrs Moss died 22 December 1944 at the same residence, and was buried with Roman Catholic rites at that section of the Fremantle cemetery.
