NON-FERROUS MINING.
D&VELOPMENT IN BRITAIN.
GOVERNMENT ACTION URGED.
A. and N.Z.—Renter. LONDON. M*y 27.
The report of the committee on the possibilities of non-ferrous mining in the United Kingdom recommends centralisation in one organisation of the departmental duties relating to such mining. It urges that the organisation should .immediately undertake geological and statiscal work, and recommends the adoption of conferences with workers in mines and the compulsory deposit with the Department of Mines of surface and underground plane of all mines on the .'ines of the South African practice. The report further suggests that the above-mentioned organisation should undertako certain functions whiiA the Dominions regard as falling within the scope of the Government, although never so regarded in the United Kingdom, for instance, advice regarding development and the improvement of existing methods. An important recommendation is that the Government should take powers analogous to those of the Dominions and extend financial assistance to mines to enable them to surmount difficulties and undertake approved exploration and development.
