[On back of photograph] 'Northern Territory / Site of Stuart's Tree / Administrator Mr. Justice Mitchell holding the iron rail put in where the stump of the tree was burned out. / Mr. Harley Thomas between the two natives. / Aug. 24, 1911.' An article from the Register dated 26th July, 1924 is attached. It reads: 'General News / Stuart's Tree / Referring to the discovery of the tree marked with the initials of John McDouall Stuart, and its subsequent destruction, a paragraph relating to which appeared in the Register of Thursday, we are informed that after the tree was burned out Mr. Justice Dashwood visited the spot and in the cavity made by the burning in the butt of the tree underground he placed a small canister with a slight record in it, and put a stick in the hole. In 1911 Mr. Justice Mitchell, the Administrator of the Terrritory and Judge of the Supreme Court visited the site with Mr. Walter Campbell (then Director of Agriculture, New South Wales), and Mr. Harley Thomas, of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company. When His Honour touched the stick left by Mr. Justice Dashwood it broke off. A search revealed the canister which was removed and is now in the museum, at Darwin. His Honour had taken from Darwin a ten foot length of railway iron. This was put into the stump hole, and a canister enwrapped in cement was buried at the foot of the pole. In the canister was put a paper containing the following words:- "Aug. 24, 1911- Upon this spot there grew a tree upon which the explorer John McDouall Stuart carved his initials on the 24th day of July, 1862, after his venturesome and successful journey across the continent of Australia. The tree was burned down in 1902. Shortly afterwards the spot was marked by Mr. Justice Dashwood (the then Government Resident). Mr. Justice Mitchell, the Acting Administrator of the Northern territory is now visiting the spot in company with Mr. Walter S. Chap-bell (sic) and Mr. Thomas, of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Cable Company, and will place this writing in a cemented tin box and bury it at the foot of an iron post brought by His Honour to erect on the place where formerly the tree grew. God save the King." Mr. Cecil Freer is the lessee of lands on which the tree grew or of adjacent lands. He is good enough, when buffalo hunting takes him that way, to see that the pole is still erect, and that his native boys are instructed by him to watch and take care of the pole.'
