A Record Of The Mines Of South Australian Prepared Under The Authority Of The Hon PDF Download

Excerpt from Record of the Mines of South Australia: Compiled, Under the Authority of the Hon. Laurence O'loughlin, M. P., Minister of Mines, by Lionel C. E. Gee, J. P., General Assistant and Recorder, Department of Mines The Third Edition, which was published in May, 1899, been carefully revised, and, with the new information added, this Edition is about twice the size of its predecessor. Every care has been taken by Mr. Gee to make it as up to date and accurate as possible; but still it is felt that much information is lacking, and that gaps exist, which, however, are gradually being filled by the official reports on holdings which are published from time to time. A map of the State, showing the approximate area occupied by the metal-bearing rocks, is appended; and also a statement giving the mineral production from 1840 to 1907. This latter can only be regarded as approximate, and is most probably well within the mark. I have no hesitation in saying that South Australia is exceptionally well endowed with minerals. The full recognition and exploitation of its wealth in this direction is in any case only a matter of time; and that the information gathered in this book may help in the forward movement of our State is my earnest hope.
