/'cf <-<>pv, 6J. Annual subscription in Australasia, 26.?.; Abroad, y>s. 



This is something more than the leading Australian mining and engi- 

 neering weekly : it is the only one. It caters for the mining investor, 

 the mine manager, the metallurgist, the geologist, the mineralogist, and 

 every species of engineer. No one who wishes to keep pace with the 

 developments in Australian mining or with the developments in 

 mining and engineering practice can afford to be without it. The 

 very latest London quotations for the principal metals are cabled for 

 each issue ; and, by means of a competent staff of local correspondents, 

 readers of the paper are kept au fait with the work done on all the 

 leading fields of Australia. The stocks attracting most attention on 

 'Change are dealt wi.th by a writer specially qualified for the task, 

 and electrical and mechanical engineers find technical articles of the 

 highest value to them in the shape of monographs written specially for 

 the paper, and summaries of contributions made to the proceedings of 

 leading English and Continental scientific societies, furnished by an 

 exceedingly capable London correspondent. A space is also reserved 

 for financial matters, and Australian trade returns are published.
