Failure of Mining Legislation. Table No. 3.
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.
