No signatures. ; 68 pages. Illustrated card wrappers. Page dimensions: 238mm x 178mm. Illustrated in B&W and colour. "Nenthorn was Otago's last quartz goldmining rush. Its rapid rise to prominence was matched only by its equally rapid decline: discovery, boom and bust all occurred within the few short years, 1888 - 1891. The recovery of the records of the Warden's Courts of Central Otago, and the discovery of the liquidation records of some of Nenthron's ill-fated companies provided an opportunity to study in detail the people and processes involved in the creation, management and collapse of a mining system." - from the foreword. Contents: Ready for a Miracle; 'A Second Thames'; A Working Man's Diggings; A Huge Fizzle; Into Liquidation; After the Boom; Leading Men to Ruin; Index. ; 4to
