VICTORIAN  

INTERCOLONIAL EXHIBITION,  

1875  

OFFICIAL  

CATALOGUE OF EXHIBITS  

DEPARTMENT 1.  

MINERALS, ORES, BUILDING STONES, METALS  

AND METALLURGICAL PRODUCTS.  

EXPERTS.  

William Johnson, Esq. J. L. Morley, Esq. Joseph Reed, Esq.  

W. G. Lempriere, Esq. J. C. Newbery, Esq., Chairman. G. H. F. Ulrich, Esq.  

Although the days when every bucketful of washdirt was supposed  

to contain sufficient gold to remunerate the miner for the voyage from  

Europe to Australia are past, and the rich alluviums of the early gold-  

digging era are almost ended, the production of the precious metal still  

continues among the first of Australian industries. Quartz-reefing has  

taken the place of alluvial digging, deep sinking has superseded surfac-  

ing and paddocking, and the pick and shovel are supplemented by costly  

machinery and scientific appliances. Of course the production of gold  

from great depths entails much greater expense than it did in former  

times, but once found the returns are larger, and last most certainly for  

much longer periods. As an instance of this may be mentioned the Long  

Tunnel Company, Walhalla, which, for nearly seven years, has steadily  

been paying dividends that represent large interest for the capital  

expended in the purchase of shares. Attention has been turned to the  

other mineral wealth of Australia, and she bids fair to become promi-  

nent amongst mineral producing countries, with Victorian gold and  

New South Wales coal, South Australian copper and the various
