The Mining Boom.

_t_ Solemn Warning: | ' Melbourne, December 9 } The Age, in a special article on the mining mania, in Western Australia, S says the fall of £80,000,000 in the capital value of South African mines & few weeks ago is only the fore runner of an equally disastrous smash in Western Australia. Never in the history of Australia waa there, it says, inch a gigantic system of compß*.ny aongering in wild cat schemes, and when the crash comes the unfortunate English and French investors will be taught a lesson not likely to be soon forgotten. The mad speculation will be followed by such a terrific smash that the South Sea Bubble will sink' into insignificance, and £20,000,000 of English capital will be swallowed up. The worthless Wynyard minfls in India will be ac a drop in the ocean compared with the South African and West Australian bubbles.
