Excerpt from The New Zealand Mining Handbook (With Maps and Illustrations)
Some twenty years having elapsed since the publication of "The Handbook of New Zealand Mines," it has been deemed fitting at the present time, when New Zealand is embarking on the largest Exhibition of her industries in the history of the colony, to give a review of its metalliferous and mineral resources.
The writers who have contributed to this I Handbook are principally men who have had a I long and intimate association with the mining industry, and whose sole aim is to present a truthful picture of what has been accomplished in the past, and to denote where combinations of capital, labour, professional skill, and business capacity may secure the rewards of enterprise in the future.
There is no desire to create what is generally termed a "mining boom," for nothing has been more disastrous to mining as an industrial undertaking than the undue inflation of shares in limited and no-liability companies on the Stock Exchanges.
