Peninsular mining profits sparking controversy and warnings
The lettered critique highlights Walla Walla, Moonta, Paramatta, and Wallaroo mines paying large dividends while urging investment and caution. It notes Moonta's near half a million in dividends, Paramatta's £2500 paid before ore, and forecasts substantial profits. The piece argues for enterprise to unlock resources and condemns opposition as hindering progress. It references local theatre, court cases, and public office complaints on Moonta operations and mail handling.
