Baron Preshow 1 Translation
Miners! Miners! It is my honor as baron Gustave Hooghmoed to welcome you in my beautiful mine Baron 1898. I welcome all of you mine workers from abroad in my beautiful mine. Today you will have the privilege to descend down the mine shaft that gives you access to wealth. I will train you to be the best miners. You are requested to receive your lantern and helmet. You will be responsible for my... a large profit. With my cathedral of steel, the shaft tower you will descend into the underground treasuries and there in the deepest depths of the mine gold will be for there for the taking. Ha ha ha, this is my old mine. This is my gold mine.. .... Miners, go no further but return home. Us Witte Wieven guard the gold. You have been warned. .... Miners, surely you are not frightened off by some creation of superstition and magic trick that call themselves Witte Wieven?!. Do not be discouraged by the Witte Wieven! Hurry up now! Continue on to the salary room and prepare yourself for the descent. Riches await." |

Dig up the gold for me and wealth will be yours. Hahahahahaha Good luck! .......................................................................... Miners, the first team has gone ahead. Prepare yourself for the descent. Hurry up! Quickly assemble in three rows of six because your transport is being made ready in the collection building.
