Failure of Mining Legislation. Table No. 3

Failure of Mining Legislation. Table No. 3.

Table showing the effect of the increased expenditure and of recent labour and mining legislation on our mining industries:—
1891. 1896. Increase.
£ £ £
Value of Gold and Silver produced 1,012,639 1,052,017 39,378
Value of all other Minerals, including Kauri Gum and Coal 828,047 862,224 34,177

Could there possibly be a better proof of the utter failure of the recent legislation than the fact that the total value of all our mineral products has only increased £73,555 during the five years the present party has been in power, and this in spite of the enormous amount of English and foreign capital invested in our mines during that period.
