- Abstract
For three months in 1890 and 1891 the American mining engineer, T A Rickard, observed mining and milling practices on the Bendigo gold-field. Although he concluded that most companies were financially mismanaged and that the handling of ore in their mills was far from satisfactory, he did note that the mills themselves were 'constructed on the spot by excellent local foundries, at a price usually far below what is paid in the western United States
