in the way in which I should like to see it prosper, for it is really a 

 beautiful country, a glorious country, as anyone who has seen so much 

 of it as I have will fully recognise, if it is to prosper in the way in 

 which I believe every inhabitant of it desires it to prosper, it can only 

 be by the more full and universal utilisation of science in the service 

 of man, and one of those lessons which science seems to me especially 

 to enforce is that we have now found a means of marking down upon 

 charts, which would become readily intelligible, a few cardinal facts of 

 the geological structure of the country, and these charts will mark the 

 area over which profitable industries may be carried on, and will in 

 the long run, be a large saving of labour and money, and lead to the 

 initiation of new industries which depend upon the minerals which 

 obviously lie close at hand, as consequence of the distribution of gold,, 

 coal and water (applause.)
