== Recollections of a Victorian Police Officer by Sup John Sadleir ==

Then before long arose another state of feeling that I have found very difficult to get my friends to understand. As these profits appeared to progress day by day, so day by day my interest in the matter seemed to decrease. I do not suppose that if I had been say a farmer, of if I had been in any other position where I should have had to do some corresponding work, my interest would have flagged to the same extent. This was the only occasion in my life when I had the feeling that I was growing beastly rich. The experience was not of long continuance, for I sold my shares when they reached just double what I paid for them, before a single ounce of gold was raised. All is not gold that glitters; neither are all mining speculations profitable, as I soon afterwards discovered.
