Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of reports written in 1907 and 1908 by a US Geological Survey Director examining the mining laws of various Australian locales. The author's main focus was the laws of Western Australia as they pertained to the preservation of government mineral rights, particularly in regard to coal and other precious metals. Specifically, the reports examine the differences between freehold mining claims and mineral leaseholds under the various laws, paying particular attention to the question of whether government leasing promotes mining development to a greater degree than individual ownership. The author concludes that â" based on the extensive success and popularity of leasing in the region â" government controlled mineral leasing is not only the superior method for promoting mining development, but that it does so in a way that discourages the hoarding of undeveloped mining claims and promotes continuous development.
