Has anyone heard of the Dalziel Boulder West Tin Mine Syndicate or Dalziels Tin Mines Ltd. please. Margaretwh@dodo.com.au

Hi Margaret, whilst I couldnt locate a place called Dalziel and presume it might be named after a person, its worth noting where tin deposits and mining have occurred in Victoria. To quote a 1910 report reproduced by the Bureau of Stats - their home page at: http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/abs "In Victoria lode tin has been discovered at Mt. Wills, Beechworth, Eldorado, Chiltern, Stanley, and other places in the north-eastern district; and stream tin has been found in a large number of places, including those just mentioned in the north-eastern district. The bulk of the production last year was obtained by dredging and hydraulic sluicing, the chief yields being 39 tons of ore, valued at £3289, raised in the Beechworth district, and 23 tons, valued at £1555, raised at Toora." In the Beechworth area there were a number of companies set up to mine tin, which after it became valuable staple (initially it was seen as a nuisance to alluvial gold mining) was sent to Sydney or Melbourne. Do you have any more information on the company? It doesnt sound like a Victorian company, and in other states eg Queensland there was a lot more tin mining going on. Also do you know of any people associated with the company and their BDM dates? This would help fix the company into a time period and possibly a location.
