Another industry is fast coming into
prominence, viz., the manufacture of lime. Mr. John
Wright, of Buckaroo, is the possessor of a tract of land on
the slope of the mountain, where there is an abundance of
splendid limestone. He has been working it for years in a
steady jogtrot way, and because of its superior quality has
always found a ready sale. He has realised a competence,
and given over the property to his sons, ...

1889
sequestration orders.
Joseph John Wright, of Buckaroo, near
Mudgee, lime merchant and general con-
tractor. Mr. E. M. Stephen, official assig-
nee.


1890
John Wright sold his property for £2000.
