A GREAT WESTRALIAN SCHEME.
■ * LIGHT RAILWAYS TO BRING THE ORE TO THE BATTERIES. [PBESS ASSOCIATION.] (Received January 4, 9.40 a.m.) Melbourne, This Day. Mr. Speight, late Railway Commissioner, who has returned from Western Australia, has unfolded a scheme which he has promulgated to construct light lines of railways and tramways throughout the Western colony. In connection with this scheme, extensive j works for the treatment of all classes of ore are to be erected at Newcastle, on the Coolgardie line. By this means it is computed that anything over lOdwt to the ton will -pay for mining. Mr. Speight expects that West Australia will recognise that this is the only possible , solution of the low-grade ore problem. Plenty of English capital is already available, and the scheme is only awaiting Parliamentary sanction.
