VYIST AUSTRALIAN MINES
♦ ! LONDON, January 15. Mr Herman Landau, chairman of the Northern Associated Blocks, presiding at a meeting of the company, suggested that the Government of Western Australia ought to test and explore the KalgoorMe district, where, so far as he could see, allthe producing mines were approaching an end. He believed that the Government j -would/ -not grudge £100,000 or even j £200,00$ for this purpose, while the J milling companies should Be only too eager , to contribute. January 16. The Agent-general fox Western Australia, in the course of an interview, protested against Mr Landau's pessimism. It is, he said, not justified. Although *there was much evidence to show^ that for many years prosperity awaited mining, yet Western Australia's future did not depend entirely on her gold industry. Mr* Landau had prophesied the, early decline of mining in Western -Vustralia, and urged fresh exploration. r --- i
