Labour and Industry in Australia, Vol. 4 of 4: From the First Settlement in 1788 to the Establishment of the Commonwealth in 1901 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Labour and Industry in Australia, Vol. 4 of 4: From the First Settlement in 1788 to the Establishment of the Commonwealth in 1901
The people of South Australia had built their expectations of the development of their country on the expansion of agriculture, for which the fertility of the soil and the character of the land seemed peculiarly adapted, on the working of the copper deposits of Yorke Peninsula, and on the colonization of the vast area of the Northern Terri tory. In all these they were more or less disappointed, and during the period now under review the salvation of the Province came from two sources absolutely unexpected: the discovery of vast mineral deposits in the Broken Hill district of New South Wales which lay close to the South Australian border, and the discovery of gold in Western Australia.
Early in 187 3 the discovery of gold was reported in the Northern Territory, and a number of companies were formed in Adelaide to work the deposits, which rumour had greatly magnified. There was much speculation ln the shares of these companies and also in those of the copper mines, but little gold was won from the mines of the Northern Territory; and the drop in the price of the metal concerned put an end to the speculation in copper Shares.
