Meekatharra Local Notices and Postwar Trade Debate
In Meekatharra this week a mix of church schedules, a sold house for sale, found artificial teeth notice, and obituaries sits alongside a commentary on postwar trade. The piece cites Rev. Cracknell, Rev. Howard Pearson, a 96 year old Jose obituary, a sale via Miner Office, and a British view on Germany’s postwar recovery by Milne.

Ingliston Extended mine closes after decade run
After about ten years the Ingliston Extended mine closed on November 1. The mine had been producing roughly 1000 tons monthly from above the 550 ft level with ore value just over 20s per ton. With ore depletion and lack of capital for further development, operations ceased though a four man tribute crew will work upper Western lodes. Final clean up yielded bullion valued at £950, not counting slags and concentrates.

Prospecting revival urged for Murchison goldfields
Inspector Deeble argues for more methodical prospecting across the Murchison region, noting ore can vary greatly within a reef and that surface shoots may be rich while nearby sections are barren. He highlights loaming as a key test, the value of dry blowers, and cites Daniels and mates at Lake Austin as a case of persistent prospecting yielding rich ore and £2000 in gold by year’s end. He also reports Meckatharra State battery activity with 217 tons yielding 75 oz from Havelock and 66 tons giving 54 oz 14 dwts, with Gwalia stamps dropping 200 tons.
