Abstract
WE have received from the Department of Mines, South Australia, the “Mining Review”, No. 62, for the half year ending June 30, 1935. After some preliminary notes on recent mining legislation, including where and how to get more details for those who require them, there follows a series of reports on Government drilling and Government gold and silver recovery, reports of the Commonwealth Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, reports by the Government assistant geologist and various inspectors of mines, etc. The total value of the mineral production of the State of South Australia from 1841 until 1934 is given as 53 J million sterling, of which copper ranks for something more than 33 millions, ironstone for 12,200,000 and gold only for If millions, the production of the other minerals being unimportant.
