Folio (12 6/8 x 8 inches). (Some spotting and browning, early repair to verso of last leaf). Modern brown leatherette, original blue front wrapper laid down on heavier stock at beginning. A report into a number of gold fields that were once highly productive "but which have been long neglected and in some instances almost forgotten". They include the Pyranees District, Inglewood Reefs, Kingower Eistrict, Wood's Point Reefs, Matlock Reefs, Big River and Raspberry Creek Mines, Big River Reefs, Alexandra Reefs, and Yarra Gold-fields. The causes of the 'decadence of mining', according to Walker's report, are not so closely associated to a diminution of gold, but to mismanagement, lack of enthusiasm for the job on the part of the younger generations, inefficiency of equipment: "in numberless places throughout the colony, Bendigo, Stawell, or Ballarat, skill, backed by comparatively small capital, would, I am convinced, in a short time lay bare some very prolific sources of tat mineral wealth on which our national prosperity was founded. the fact that the mining industry has not flourished all over the colony is due mainly to the incompetence and carelessness of the people interested" (Introduction).
