Victoria. Mineral Statistics of Victoria for the year 1877.
Melbourne: John Ferres Government Printer 1878. Folio 13 2/8 x 8 inches. Modern brown leatherette. "The mining industry during the past year has not been so prosperous as usual. Scarcity of water through long continued drought has militated greatly against alluvial mining operations. The return of gold also from quartz mining shows a decrease as compared with preceding years but there does not appear to be any ground to fear that this branch of mining is on the wane for veins are being steadily worked at increasing depths; and as regards alluvial mining it is hoped with a better supply of water there will during the next year be an increased yield of gold" W. Collard Smith Minister of Mines. The amount of gold 'raised' out of the ground between 1872 and 1877 diminished by about 40%. Gold mining in Victoria declined steadily throughout the 19th-century but the ban on exporting gold in 1915 and the abolition of the gold standard throughout the empire meant that the early 20th-century saw the complete collapse of many Victorian mining towns.

Melbourne: Robert S. Brain Government Printer 1894. Folio 12 6/8 x 8 inches. Some spotting and browning early repair to verso of last leaf. Modern brown leatherette original blue front wrapper laid down on heavier stock at beginning. A report into a number of gold fields that were once highly productive "but which have been long neglected and in some instances almost forgotten". They include the Pyranees District Inglewood Reefs Kingower Eistrict Wood's Point Reefs Matlock Reefs Big River and Raspberry Creek Mines Big River Reefs Alexandra Reefs and Yarra Gold-fields. The causes of the 'decadence of mining' according to Walker's report are not so closely associated to a diminution of gold but to mismanagement lack of enthusiasm for the job on the part of the younger generations inefficiency of equipment: "in numberless places throughout the colony Bendigo Stawell or Ballarat skill backed by comparatively small capital would I am convinced in a short time lay bare some very prolific sources of tat mineral wealth on which our national prosperity was founded. the fact that the mining industry has not flourished all over the colony is due mainly to the incompetence and carelessness of the people interested" Introduction.

Victoria. Report of the Royal Commission appointed by his Excellency to Enquire into and Report upon Applications made for Authority to Mine within and under certain Reserved Lands at Ballaarat
Melbourne: John Ferres Government Printer 1867. Folio 13 2/8 x 8 inches. Modern brown leatherette. An extensive report into the claims made by mining companies to prospect for gold on land previously 'reserved' for some other use near Ballaraat. "In cases where it is necessary to authorise mining operations under lands which have been for a long period dedicated to public uses and where the contingent rights of the neighbouring claimholders are not involved we are of opinion that it would be convenient and more satisfactory to demise the reserved lands than to authorise holders of miners' rights to occupy them under the 15th section of the "Mining Stature" 1865". In order to prevent future violations it is recommended that the Mining department be sent any reports showing land that has been preserved for public use in mining fields. The lands include the Cricket Reserve permission refused; the Public Park permission granted; Miners' Racecourse Reserve judgment withheld; Benevolent Asylum Reserve permission refused; Botanical Gardens Reserve applicant failed to appear; Survey Paddock Reserve applicants withdrew; Corporation Reserve applicant failed to appear; Cattle Yards Reserve permission refused; Prince of Wales Park permission granted; and Lake Wendouree already being mined by another party.

Return Respecting The Gold Fields
Melbourne: John Ferres at the Government Printing Office 1851. Folio 13 x 8 inches. Printed on grey paper. Modern brown leatherette gilt. GOLD IS DISCOVERED IN VICTORIA "Whereas by Law all Mines of Gold and all Gold in its natural place of deposit within the Colony of Victoria whether on the lands of the Queen or of any of Her Majesty's subjects belong to the Crown. And whereas information has been received by the Government that Gold exists upon and in the soil of the Colony and that certain persons have commenced or are about to commence searching and digging for the same for their own use without leave or other authority from Her Majesty: Now I Charles Joseph LaTrobe Esquire the Lieutenant Governor aforesaid on behalf of Her Majesty do hereby publicly notify and declare that all persons who shall take from any lands with the said Colony and Gold Metal or Ore containing Gold . will be prosecuted both criminally and civilly as the Law allows." page 10. The above notice was issued on the 15th of August in 1851 little more than a month after gold had been discovered in Victoria. The discovery sparked a rush similar to that in California the population quadrupled in the next 3 years and Britain had enough wealth to pay off her foreign debts and fund an industrial revolution. This is an important collection of 11 Returns and Memos detailing the history of the discovery of gold in Victoria including documents that record the dates and locations of the finds the number of licenses issued the quantity and value of the finds. There are also documents recording the incidental consequences of the finds including the number of immigrants to Victoria drawn there by the gold the number of extra Government Commissioners and Police required to maintain order and details of the gold escort system that took the gold from the fields to the treasury in Melbourne.

Victoria. Report from the Select Committee of the Legislative Council on Gold together with the Proceedings of the Committee Minutes of Evidence and Appendix.
Melbourne: John Ferres Government Printer March 1856. Broadsheet 12 2/8 x 8 inches. Printed on blue paper. Modern brown leatherette gilt. An extensive report recommending the institution of a Mining Board that would be in charge of carrying out extensive geological surveys throughout Victoria to distinguish between auriferous and agricultural land. This survey would become the basis for an ordnance map of the county and provide initial information to plan a railroad reservoirs etc: "America which has credit for being the most economical Government in the civilised world has expended very large sums of money in making topographical geological and natural history surveys on the most comprehensive scale and which surveys are superior to those elaborated by any Government of Europe and results of great practical value have in all places followed from such proceedings" page iii-iv. The Committee also reports on the mining equipment and methods currently in use and decides that it is very unsatisfactory and in need of organisation: "there are 100000 miners either engaged in actual mining or rushing about from place to place in search of new gold fields."page v. A supplement to the report provided by mining expert Jacob Brach� 1827-1905 estimates the auriferous lands of the Colony to be 20000 square miles including 200 square miles of quartz reefs; that there are 20650 millions of tons of quartz which would take 100000 miners 300 years to work up. Estimating its value as low as 1 pound per ton it would give the enormous yield of 62 millions sterling per annum allowing 10000 companies of 10 men each to quarry and crush 24 tons per day. it gives the grand total of the estimated auriferous wealth of the Colony of Victoria of 26783 millions sterling!" page v. On the strength of his enthusiasm alone Brache was commissioned to conduct the report into the mining methods employed - a task he was signally unsuited for.

Victoria. Gold Despatches
Melbourne: John Ferres at the Government Printing Office September 1852 Folio 13 x 8 inches. Printed on blue paper. Modern brown leatherette gilt. "It is quite impossible for me to describe to your Lordship the effect which these discoveries have had upon the whole community" Lieut-Governor La Trobe to Earl Grey An important collection of papers detailing the discovery of gold in Victoria. Throughout the year La Trobe gives a very detailed and increasingly desperate account of the discoveries made at Anderson's Creek Clunes Buninyong and Ballaarat sic. He not only gives a vivid account of how the gold was found but also an analysis of the geology of the areas soil clay and ore type. His main and growing concern however is the detrimental effect of the gold discoveries on the community as a whole: "Within the last three weeks the towns of Melbourne and Geelong with their large suburbs have been in appearance almost emptied of many classes of their mail inhabitants; the streets which for a week or ten days were crowded by drays loading with the outfit for the workings are now seemingly deserted.Not only have the idlers. day labourers. shopmen artisans and mechanics of every description thrown up their employments and in most cases leaving their employers and their wives and families to take care of themselves run off to the workings but responsible tradesmen farmers clerks of every grade and not a few of the superior classes have followed" page 5-6. In the face of a complete breakdown in society La Trobe took a number of extraordinary measures: he authorised an immediate pay rise to all clerks turnkeys constabulary and mounted police as well as to messengers and surveyors; the cost of a prospector's license was increased although La Trobe would have preferred a tax to be paid on the gold found; he seconded the help of subordinate officers from his neighbouring colonies; and begged the Imperial Government for guidance and help in the form of men to police the diggings and to guard the ports. After the initial fever or "Gold Crsis" as La Trobe refers to it many of the original absconders returned to their more mundane and less lucrative lives having discovered what punishing and often disappointing work digging for gold actually was but the colony's problems were ongoing.

Melbourne: John Ferres 1859. Folio 13 1/8 x 8 inches. Printed on blue paper. Folding lithographed map of the Parish of Narree Worran. Modern brown leatherette gilt. The accompanying "sketch of the ranges of hills and streams contiguous to these gold workings and also of the track leading thereunto has been only very cursorily made with the aid of compass-bearings and rough estimation of distances; and even to procure this very ride and imperfect delineation of these topographical features I found it necessary to force a passage through such dense tangled scrub that I was occasionally compelled to crawl on my hands and knees to advance at all" page i. The reason for the map's sketchiness is explained by the "unexampled stupidity" of the men that Clement Hodgkinson sent before him in getting lost. However Hodgkinson was able to provide a detailed report of the area and the diggings. He noted that the profitable land was limited in area and that only about 200 miners were working it. By 1860 these fields were largely depleted. Melbourne: John Ferres, 1859. hardcover

Melbourne: John Ferres 1859. Folio 13 1/8 x 8 inches. Printed on blue paper. FINE FOLDING CHROMOLITHOGRAPHED MAP WITH ORIGINAL HAND COLOUR OF THE VALLEY OF BENDIGO folding leaf of profiles of slag heaps full-page profiles of Bendigo Creek Reservoir near Irish Town Bridge Golden Square Bridge and 2 of sluice gates. Modern brown leatherette gilt. An extensive report illustrated with a very fine map of Bendigo investigating how best to carry off sludge from the puddling mills at Sandhurst without interfering with the drainage of the town and the roads in the neighbourhood. "Throughout the gold field the injurious consequences o the choking up of the natural drainage channel and the want of a proper system for carrying off the sludge from the puddling mills is everywhere apparent. Even in the gullies where the ground lies relatively higher large areas may be seen of partially worked ground which have been overflowed by the sludge and rendered almost worthless. On the flats and low levels the damage is even more extensive; in many places and particularly at the junction of large gullies where the sludge has found no outlet and has consequently spread to vast mud estuaries it has covered many acres of valuable auriferous land filling up the water-dams and rendering useless the machines erected in these localities; in some instances it has risen to so great a height that the machines themselves have been totally submerged. This is the case particularly at the junction of Long ad Ironbark gullies with the Bendigo Flat where the sludge has attained a height of twelve feet above the level of the old workings" page 3-4. Alluvial gold was first discovered in the creek at Bendigo in 1851 but was soon depleted and a system of puddling the topsoil down to the bedrock was developed to get at the gold trapped within it By 1853 By1853 the alluvial gold was "increasingly hard to find and some miners turned to crushing the quartz reefs which were standing above the surface first using hand methods and then crushing machines. The miners followed the quartz reefs below the surface until in the 1890s a few shafts were nearly 1500 metres deep. Booms in quartz mining occurred in 1859 and 1871; gold production declined gradually as the mines were deepened but there was a revival during the 1890s depression and in the early 1900s production was maintained with the cyanide treatment of gold left in the earlier tailings" Bendigo Historical Society online.

Since gold had been discovered in Ballarat in 1851 a substantial community had developed which now needed infrastructure. Of great concern was the maintenance of a clean water supply: "there is a considerable quantity of water collected in a natural reservoir known as the Wendouree or Yuille's swamp . the storage of water therein might be readily increased at a small cost." page i. However at the time of the report a by-law existed entitling only the residents of Ballaarat East to the water. The report concluded that this should be changed to allow all residents of Ballaarat access to the water from the swamp. Melbourne: John Ferres, 1859. hardcover
