The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 23 August 1893
MINING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
COWRA, TUESDAY.
A large and representative public meeting was held in the council-chambers here last night, to consider what steps should be taken with the view of urging the desirability for fresh legislation regarding the recently rejected Mining on Private Property Bill. The following resolutions were passed -1. "That in the opinion of this meeting the advancement and prosperity of the great mining industry, and of the colony generallv, hinges upon speedy provision being made in our laws to legalise mining upon all alienated lands of the colony upon fair and reasonable conditions to the holders of the surface rights and the miners alike, and wholly independent of the terms upon which such lande were originally granted." 2." That a petition embodying the foregoing resolution be presented to the Legislative Assembly of this colony through the members for the district." 3. "That a league be now formed for the purpose of extending operations throughout the district." Mr Donnelly, the local member, was present, and spoke on the Mining Bill and the mining industry generally. The proceedings were very enthusiastic throughout. Alderman Mawby occupied the chair.
