BROKEN HILL’S PLSGHT.
DR MCCARTHY’S GAS OP NO AVAIL.
By Telegraph—Press AssociationCopyright. SYDNEY, July 9. Dr McCarthy last night abandoned the rain-making experiments, admitting that he was baffled. lie states that he lost £250 over the transaction. _ ~. Mr O'Sullivan, Minister for Public Works, had a long conference with leading townsmen and mine-owners. Many suggestions were made, and referred to the Cabinet, the Minister promising that the Government would leave no stone unturned to overcome the difficulty.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE CONTINUED.
By Telegraph—Press AssociationCopyright. Received 12.16 a.m., July 10. SYDNEY, July Of Dr. McCarthy has left for Melbourne. Addressing the crowd, he said that he was going ,to obtain more chemicals to send up next .week. Two assistants have left to continue the experiments when the material arrives. If they fail, he will return. Provided he could get three days without frost, he,is coniiaent he could produce rain.
A lady correspondent wrote a fortnight ago : “ liain-maker McCarthy, has arrived at Broken Hill and been received with cheers by a vast crowd If he is a wise man he will have taken precautions that there is not necessarily a “ vast crowd ” when he leaves the place. A rain-maker who fails should get away ny night or, a swift bicycle.” Yesterday the Times published a cablegram as to a grim telegram sent to thirsting Broken Hill. A Sydney paper to hand states : “In the midst of Broken Hill’s distress, it has received a letter from a crank at Kalgoorlie, who says he is going to pray earnestly that it may rain on the silver city ; and, if it does rain, he is going to leave the question of remuneration to the generosity of a wet and grateful people. Even amateur praying, it seems, has to be paid for in these sordid days.”
