The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 71

10. Conclusion

10. Conclusion.

The writer trusts that in the foregoing pages he has given an impartial and fairly accurate account of coal-mining in New Zealand. The figures dealt with are in many cases small, as compared with the armies of workmen and stupendous output of the mother country, but the colony is equipped with stores of mineral fuel which will some day materially help it to assume its proper position among the nations which are springing up under the old flag. As an integral part of this great empire its future prospects cannot be without interest to those who desire to see English speaking miners and mining engineers supreme in all quarters of the globe.
