  • EDWARD KERSEY COOPER: a MINE MANAGER and MINE OWNER in HAURAKI Philip Hart
    EDWARD KERSEY COOPER: A MINE MANAGER AND MINE OWNER IN HAURAKI Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 89 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 EDWARD KERSEY COOPER: A MINE MANAGER AND MINE OWNER IN HAURAKI Abstract: After having a variety of occupations in several countries, Edward Kersey Cooper arrived in New Zealand in 1880 to manage a manganese mine. From 1881 onwards, he was involved in Hauraki mining, commencing with the Waiorongomai field, where he invested in several claims, mostly unproductive ones, and was a mine manager and company director. Here, as elsewhere, he was not reluctant to criticize others, notably those operating the tramway and county councillors (for their perceived lack of support for the mining industry). He remained an outspoken critic of others during all his years trying to make a success of mining, clearly annoying some of his fellow miners with his outspokenness. In 1886 he moved to Waihi, typically exaggerating his role in finding high-grade ore and also typically clashing with other leading miners. From 1887 onwards he was involved with some important mines at Waitekauri, Thames, and, most disastrously of all, Wharekiraupunga. As all these ventures required more capital than local investors could provide, he spent many years travelling to and from England seeking financial support, which was never sufficient; but the fundamental handicap was not having mines with long term and payable prospects. Like so many mine owners, he was over-sanguine, and his finances were shaky, being forced into bankruptcy in 1892.

  • Charles Manuel: a Miner and Farmer in the Te Aroha District
    CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 102 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 CHARLES MANUEL: A MINER AND FARMER IN THE TE AROHA DISTRICT Abstract: Born in Cornwall, Charles Manuel claimed to have mined from an early age. From 1876 onwards he mined at and near Thames, one notably experience being ‘gassed’ during a rescue attempt in the Caledonian mine. Although from the 1880s and until the end of his life he also farmed and took up a variety of contracts, he never abandoned mining, becoming a mine manager in 1896 and working on several Hauraki fields into the early twentieth century. To defend his interests in one mine, he threatened rivals with a revolver. His brother-in-law, William Deeble, was associated with him in various activities, notably on the Thames County Council, where they were a disruptive element. In 1900 he became a farmer in the Piako district, and in 1908 became involved in Waiorongomai mining, obtaining claims and being a director of the Bendigo and Seddon companies. A colleague in these mining ventures was John Endean, along with his wife and son. As a member of the Piako County Council he worked hard for the community, as usual, but also as usual was pugnacious and difficult to work with. In politics, also, he always spoke his mind. A hard worker in his private affairs and public issues, he was successful financially.

  • Restored Carnegie Library with a “New Lease of Life” and a “Treasury of Heritage”
    Restored Carnegie Library with a “New Lease of Life” and a “Treasury of Heritage” Energy, synergy and the input of many, led by the Coromandel Heritage Trust has seen the culmination of Thames Coromandel District Council restorations to the old Carnegie Free Library in Thames and its opening day. On 12 September 2009 a special celebration was held to mark the occasion of completion of the restorations and the opening of The Treasury to the public. The Treasury is the home of The Coromandel Heritage Trust (covering The Coromandel Peninsula ). The Treasury is indeed an apt name for the new use, as a Heritage Archive facility, in what was the second of 18 libraries, built in New Zealand with the generous gift of Scottish born Andrew Carnegie back in the 1900s. Run by the Coromandel Heritage Trust, heritage records and historical archives of the Hauraki Coromandel area will be stored and will provide a facility to those doing heritage or genealogical research. A great facility for those who may be looking for their Scottish Ancestors who came to the Coromandel Peninsula in the early days of European settlement, involved in goldmining, timber milling and coastal transport. © Anne Stewart Ball September 2009 1 Heritage of The Carnegie Free Library in Thames , New Zealand The Carnegie Free Library in Thames , New Zealand was opened on 2 nd November 1905. Thames in 1905 was still what was known then as a “gold mining town” It was also home of two large engineering firms of that era – Messrs A & G Prices and Chas Judd Ltd - both engineering firms, specialising in machinery and equipment for goldmining and timber milling on the Coromandel Peninsula.

  • Hardy's Mines
    HARDY’S MINES LTD, OF WAIORONGOMAI Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 100 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 HARDY’S MINES LTD, OF WAIORONGOMAI Abstract: Hardy’s Mines Ltd was formed on 30 April l904 to acquire all Edwin Henry Hardy’s mining properties. Because of his experience, Hardy was to supervise the work for the first three years of the company’s existence. Details are provided of the directors and shareholders, who included experienced businessmen from many places in New Zealand. Immediately upon its formation, the company had to undertake a considerable amount of dead work and to improve the battery before it could extract and process the ore. Much prospecting and testing was done, but only a small amount of gold was treated. Nevertheless, hopes were high during 1904 and 1905, and concentrates were tested in Australia. Being, as was the norm, under-capitalized, increasingly the company faced financial difficulties, and in 1906 most work ceased and the mines were protected because the payable ore had run out. In that year, Hardy ceased to be the supervisor. Exploration had proved that the lode below where he had extracted good ore was unpayable, being increasingly refractory and therefore expensive to treat. Once the capital was exhausted, further capital was sought, including in England. The company was reconstructed in 1907, but continued to be under-capitalized. It was hoped that a new low-level drive, known as McLean’s level, would strike good ore below the existing Colonist workings, but driving this took several years and the hoped-for valuable ore did not exist.

  • TCDC Community Study Report Thames 11-6-10
    TCDC Heritage Review Project Coromandel Peninsula Community Board Heritage Study - Thames - Dr Ann McEwan Heritage Consultancy Services Hamilton 11 June 2010 Executive Summary This study is intended to assist the Thames-Coromandel District Council in its forthcoming review of the District Plan. Historic heritage recommendations specific to the Thames Community Board area are provided here for consideration by the Council and discussion by local iwi and other members of the community. This report should be read in conjunction with the Coromandel Peninsula Thematic History and Consultant’s Summary Recommendation Report (2010), also prepared by Heritage Consultancy Services. In them a thematic approach has been taken to compiling historical information in a format that is best suited to identifying and interpreting historic heritage resources in the district. The principal recommendation made within this report is that the historic heritage resources of Thames and surrounding areas should be protected, actively managed and interpreted by the council on behalf of the community. Whilst scheduling of some historic buildings, sites and places on the District Plan is desirable, heritage values can also be conserved on council reserves and the DoC estate. The history of the locality may also be recorded and disseminated by the Thames Library, in partnership with The Treasury and The Coromandel Heritage Trust. Historic heritage resources in the area can be enhanced or undermined by new development, whether undertaken by the council or private landowners. It is therefore desirable that the history of the area is promoted within council and throughout the wider community in order that the future of local area settlements and their environs is based on an understanding of the past.

  • Nicholl, the Prospector Who Discovered the Martha Lode at Waihi: His Life, Told Largely in His Own Words
    WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD (BILLY) NICHOLL, THE PROSPECTOR WHO DISCOVERED THE MARTHA LODE AT WAIHI: HIS LIFE, TOLD LARGELY IN HIS OWN WORDS Philip Hart Te Aroha Mining District Working Papers No. 57 2016 Historical Research Unit Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato Private Bag 3105 Hamilton, New Zealand ISSN: 2463-6266 © 2016 Philip Hart Contact: [email protected] 1 WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD (BILLY) NICHOLL, THE PROSPECTOR WHO DISCOVERED THE MARTHA LODE AT WAIHI: HIS LIFE, TOLD LARGELY IN HIS OWN WORDS Abstract: Billy Nicholl was that rare miner, one who recorded his life. Born in Ireland, when still a boy he arrived in New Zealand in 1862. After his father died at an early age, he acquired a step-father, whom he disliked, with good reason; and in her later years his mother’s mind would fade. From 1868, when he was probably aged 14, until shortly before his death, he was a prospector and miner. Excited by the early Thames mining days, he learnt the skills needed to be a successful prospector, and during the 1870s worked with several mates on the Coromandel field, with some success. After briefly participating in the Te Aroha rush of 1880, he saw from the summit of that mountain the outcrops of the Waihi reefs, and turned his attention to that largely unexplored area. Although there was considerable claim and counter-claim about who first explored the area and who first found gold, Nicholl was the first to discover a payable lode, the famous Martha. After telling his mates of his discovery, they marked out the line of reef and started to develop several claims.

  • Whitianga First in Line for Water Meters
    Issue 923 - 10 November 2020 Phone (07) 866 2090 Circulation 8,000 Whitianga first in line for water meters By Gillian O’Neill Whitianga residents and business will be first in line to have water meters installed at their properties if proposals by Thames- Coromandel District Council go ahead as planned. While TCDC has undertaken to ask the public for their views on water meters as part of their Long Term Plan consultations, the roll-out appears to be a done deal for Whitianga and also Whangamata, with a funding agreement already submitted to central government. In his latest report to elected council members, Chief Executive Rob Williams confirmed the plan to use the first tranche of funding from the government’s Three Waters Reform Programme, worth $2.4 million in total, to pay for meters in the two towns. Thames already has water meters. “Central government’s Three Waters Reform is progressing as previously indicated,” Mr Williams informed elected members. “The Memorandum of Agreement between council and the Department of Internal Affairs was signed and submitted in August. The associated draft funding agreement was submitted in September identifying the projects proposed to be funded. The proposed projects include the Part of the Whitianga Waterways on Saturday last week. installation of water meters in Whitianga and Whitianga will be one of the first towns on the Coromandel Peninsula where water meters will be installed.

    TCDC Heritage Review Project Coromandel Peninsula Thematic History and Mapping QuickTime™ and a decompressor are needed to see this picture. Dr Ann McEwan Heritage Consultancy Services Hamilton 18 December 2009 DRAFT REPORT Executive Summary This study brings together historic heritage research and analysis that may be used by the Thames-Coromandel District Council in its forthcoming review of the District Plan. It is also intended to aid discussions regarding community heritage values as part of the Coromandel Peninsula Blueprint project and in conjunction with the development of Local Area Blueprints. The report is divided into a number of sections, some of which supply historical information. Others provide an analysis of the current planning framework and make recommendations for increased protection of the district’s historic heritage resources under the auspices of the District Plan and specific Reserve Management Plans. A thematic assessment approach has been taken to compiling historical information in a format that is best suited to identifying and interpreting historic heritage resources in the district. Key aspects of the report include, in no particular order, the: Identification of district-wide and local area historic heritage narratives and resources Proposed additions to the heritage schedule of the District Plan Identification of historic heritage resources on council parks and reserves Suggested changes to the District Plan intended to improve resource consent outcomes Recommendations to advance the promotion and integrated management of the district’s historic heritage resources This report is intended to serve as a discussion document in support of the Council- community partnership that is fundamental to successful historic heritage identification and protection.
