Bureau Buys Finest Mineral Collection for New Museum
The Bureau of Mineral Resources purchased a premier mineral collection assembled by A. R. Campbell from Broken Hill mines over about 40 years. Campbell, longtime check inspector for the Workers' Industrial Union of Australia, gathered specimens from the oxidised lode and underground slopes. The collection, valued by the bureau, will be showcased at the bureau's new museum near Rond Point, expected to open next year.
