Syndicate of Seven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Syndicate of Seven were the six partners of Charles Rasp who lodged applications for mining leases along the Line of Lode at Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia. The members were Charles Rasp, James Poole, David James, George McCulloch, George Urquhart, Phillip Charley and George Lind. On 21 September 1883 they pegged seven 40 acre blocks (Blocks No 10-16) along the exposed lode at Broken Hill, thus securing almost the whole of the easily worked ore at Broken Hill.
