  • The Evolution of Early Copper Smelting Technology in Australia1
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 9, September 2011 The Evolution of Early Copper Smelting Technology in Australia1 By PETER BELL* and JUSTIN McCARTHY *Adjunct Research Fellow Flinders University PART II ase Study 3: Mount Lyell Most economic geologists have heard of the Mount Read Volcanics of north-western C Tasmania, a complex region hosting major deposits of tin, gold, silver-lead, zinc, iron and copper. The greatest mineral deposit of all in these wild rainforest-covered ranges was discovered by prospectors at Mount Lyell in 1886. They were delighted to find a gold mine, but it was merely the tip of an iceberg; their gold was the alluvial deposit from the gossan cap of an enormous gold-copper orebody. Development of a large mineral deposit in remote and rugged country takes capital, skill and confidence, and it was 1891 before a company was formed to take the Mount Lyell copper discovery in hand. Even then it had little success in raising finance, and the mine lived for its first few years on a fortuitous shoot of silver, until copper output from the smelters during the great copper boom caused its share price to soar.1 It was recognised from the outset that the Mount Lyell orebody was very large, but that it was highly pyritic and by no means rich, mostly under 10 percent copper. It was in every way the antithesis of Burra. The copper mines of North America were demonstrating their expertise in dealing with ores of this kind, and the beginnings of Mount Lyell demonstrate the shift of Australian copper smelting technology from Europe to North America.

  • Fossils from the Chillagoe Caves: a Historical Review Jonathan Cramb1,3, Gilbert Price2, and Scott Hocknull3. Caves Are Ideal E
    Fossils from the Chillagoe caves: a historical review Jonathan Cramb1,3, Gilbert Price2, and Scott Hocknull3. 1. Queensland University of Technology 2. University of Queensland 3. Queensland Museum Caves are ideal environments for the preservation of fossil bones, and the numerous caves in the Chillagoe and Mitchell-Palmer areas of north Queensland have produced several important discoveries. This paper aims to present a historical overview of fossil vertebrate finds from these caves. It builds on the work of Robinson (1983), but substantially expands it by including previously unpublished material from the Queensland Museum’s (QM) collection. The QM collection contains several samples not documented here due to a lack of information regarding their source locality, collector or date of collection. First finds. In the late nineteenth century Robert Jack (government geologist for the colony of Queensland) and Robert Etheridge Jr (geological survey of New South Wales) published an extensive survey of the geology and palaeontology of Queensland (Jack and Etheridge, 1892); they mentioned that caves were prolific in the Chillagoe region, but didn’t mention any vertebrate fossil deposits associated with them. The earliest documented discovery of fossils from caves in the Chillagoe area is a sample of breccia and bones sent to the National Museum of Victoria (now Museum Victoria). This sample was collected from “Smelter’s Junction, one mile from Chillagoe Railway Station, along the Mungana line, on the left hand side on the way to Mungana.”, from “...a bluff 800ft. long, 300ft. wide and 50ft. above the plain of the surrounding country.” (Archer et al., 1978, p.

  • Sinclair - Tracking Heritage and Gauging Significance
    Sinclair - Tracking heritage and gauging significance Tracking history and gauging significance: Assessing the heritage significance of the Etheridge Railway Brian Sinclair This paper explores the process of entering a section of railway line and its associated infrastructure in the Queensland Heritage Register (QHR). In particular, it discusses the research process; an August 2008 site visit to a railway built by the entrepreneur John Moffat, the Etheridge Railway in north Queensland; an assessment of the heritage significance of the place and identification of specific elements of heritage significance; and the formulation of an appropriate heritage boundary. The Savannahlander railmotor at the Starlight Creek stone bridge. 29.8.08 Places nominated to the QHR are currently researched by Heritage Officers employed by the Cultural Heritage Branch of the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM). As a result of changes to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992 that came into force in early 2008, these applications now have to be dealt with within a specific time frame. A recommendation to enter a place in the QHR must be made within 80 business days of receipt of an application to enter the place, unless an extension is granted. The Queensland Heritage Council then has 60 business days to make a decision on the recommendation, after considering all submissions in relation to the application; again an extension period is available. The recommendation is examined by the Strategic Register Committee (SRC) of the Heritage Council, which then decides whether or not to proceed with entering the place on the QHR. 147 Sinclair - Traci<ing heritage and gauging significance Section 31 (3) of the amended Queensland Heritage Act 1992 requires that an entry in the QHR include enough information to identify the location and boundarfes of the place or area, information about the place's history, a description of the place, and a statement about its cultural heritage significance.

  • Mareeba Shire Handbook
    MAREEBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Mareeba Shire, Queensland Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1978 MAREEBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Mareeba Shire, Queensland Compiled by: N. T. Currie, District Adviser, Mareeba Edited by: P. L. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1978 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soils and vegetation are' described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people.

  • Frederick REID B.2 Dec 1888 D.24 Dec 1946 Fred Reid Holds a Unique
    Frederick REID b.2 Dec 1888 d.24 Dec 1946 Fred Reid holds a unique place in the history of Chillagoe, Queensland and indeed, Australia. A mining pioneer at the turn of the twentieth century, Fred Reid was born in Murtang, NSW in 1888. As a teenager he travelled to north Queensland with his mother Jessie Murphy, brothers Roy and Lance Reid, step brothers Jimmy Murphy and Rudolph (Jack) Lahz. For the record, Jack Lahz later became a famous Wickham Terrace orthopaedic medical specialist after commencing school in Chillagoe: www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/kasting-a-shadow-over-brisbanes-doctor-street-20091130- k0h6.html In the early years of last century, education in remote places was limited and although he had no academic qualifications, Fred Reid possessed an uncanny knowledge of minerals and machinery. Fred`s peers and colleagues acknowledged this fact, often seeking his advice and expertise in said areas. In 1917, Fred married Belle Brady (nee Bethel), the mother of four daughters – Glad, Irene, Kat and Beatrice (deceased). Fred and Belle started a new family and had two daughters together – Billie (b. 1918) and Gloria (b. 1921). Billie and Gloria became very accomplished musicians, singers, music teachers and entertainers in the far north of Queensland. Fred explored many of the old and new mineral shows in Garumba, Sunnymount, Irvinebank, Cardross, Mt Wandoo, Mareeba and Herberton. The Girofla and Lady Jane mine leases were taken up by Fred amidst a buoyant market, with operations working three shifts around the clock. These mines were very large suppliers of ore to the Chillagoe smelters.

  • Calcifer - the First Copper Smelter on the Chillagoe Copperfield
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 13, 1995 Calcifer - the First Copper Smelter on the Chillagoe Copperfield RUTH S. KERR The Calcifer site illustrates the itinerant nature of the North Queensland mining industry. The region's first copper smelter bears no outward sign ofits original metallurgical and commercial purposes. The permanent way ofthe tramway can be easily traced as it was used for ore transport until the closure of the Chillagoe smelters in 1914. Nevertheless the integrity of the site is discernible from the shallow foundations and the inter-relationship ofthe buildings, tramway and town. INTRODUCTION The millIng industry has always been seen as a key development industry for the Australian economy. In Queensland The Chillagoe smelters were one of the largest metallurgical it was the reason for the extensive population increase in the developments in Queensland prior to World War 1. Half a state, especially in central and northern Queensland, attracting million pounds were spent on construction of the railway and miners and tradesmen from the southern mining fields, smelters when only £505 685 worth of ore reserves could be particularly Broken Hill. Immigration from the British coalfields confirmed. Up to World War I, 609 600 tonnes of ore were supplied the underground engine drivers and surface tradesmen, smelted from the Chillagoe and Etheridge fields for the Their eagerness to succeed provided the impetus for new towns production of 23 644 tonnes of copper, 32 266 tonnes of lead, and extended administrative requirements and the railway 135 139 110 grams of silver and 899 132 grams of gold. The system. Townsville, Caims and Cooktown boomed because of geology of the fickle North Queensland veins of rich raw metal decisions to build railways from the coast to the mining fields at and superficial fissures, along with transport costs for hauling Charters Towers, Herberton and Maytown.

  • Totley Township Queensland H
    Mining has had a profound and unique impact on the social and economic development of Australia. This was never more so than in north Queensland where the early industry created new wealth, changed whole landscapes and left fascinating examples of past mining technology lying forgotten in the small settlements, green rainforests and vast savannah plains of the region. Geographically, this guide takes the day-tripper on informative tours from the major north Queensland destinations of Cairns and Townsville, to the easily accessible hinterland gold mining towns of Ravenswood and Charters Towers and on to the tin and copper towns of Herberton, Irvinebank and Chillagoe. Travellers with more time can ‘go west’ from Townsville to the rich red country of the Selwyn Ranges and the historic copper mines of the Cloncurry and Mount Isa district. Others may follow the route from Cairns through the tin fields of the Atherton Tablelands to the Hodgkinson, Etheridge and Croydon goldfields, or take the Cape York trail through Mareeba or Cooktown to the fabulous Palmer River Goldfield. With information and pictures the guide tells a story extending from the 1870s gold rushes, through the tin and copper booms of the late 19th century to uranium mining in the 1950s. It features the technology of mines, stamp batteries, smelters and mining railways and encompasses a range of architectural styles from simple miners huts to grandiose public buildings. This diversity combines to make North Queensland’s Mining Heritage Trails an important contribution to the published record of Queensland’s heritage - a colourful and fascinating guide to your own journey along the MINING TREASURE TRAIL.
