Mining Laws of Australia and
New Zealand
It has been estimated that there
are more than 3,500,000,000.000
short tons of coal in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska. An
authoritative statement of the
coal supply of the world shows
that the United States has coal
reserves exceeding those' of any
other continent and nearly double
those of Europe. The fact that
we are a favored nation in this
respect however, does not imply
that we should not be on the
alert to discover and put into op
eration the best possible policy
in regard to our coal lands, ana
in determining this policy a com
parison with the practices of oth
er mining countries is helpful.
Geological Survey Bulletin 505,
"Minimr Laws of Australia ana
New Zealand," contains much
that is suggestive on the subject,
and although it is not an ex
haustive treatise, it is the best
available collection of authorita
tive data bearing on the practical
working of mineral-land laws es
sentially different from those of
the United States, me ouneu..
not only gives in considerable de
tail the special provisions, terms,
and conditions of the different
laws, as well as statistical mfor-
mation regarding the extent of
mining, but also contains much
Smony by practical Austrahan
and New Zealand inning men
who are operating under these
laws. On this account it un
