Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive look into the burgeoning mining industry of South Australia in the early 1900s. The author provides a detailed account of the various mineral resources found in the region, including copper, silver-lead, and gold. The book delves into the history of mining in South Australia, highlighting the significant impact of the Wallaroo and Moonta copper mines on the state's economy and the discovery of gold at Tarcoola, which promises to be a major source of wealth. The text also explores the government's role in the industry, including the establishment of government batteries and smelting works, and the incentives offered to encourage prospecting and mining. Furthermore, the book outlines the legal framework governing mining activities, such as the Mining Act of 1893, which outlines miners' rights and privileges, and the regulations governing mining on private property.
