Full description
Following complaints by miners to the Mining Department, the Ventilation of Mines Board was appointed on 29 March 1888 to investigate mine ventilation in the district of Sandhurst (Bendigo). The Board heard evidence from witnesses, visited the mines, and examined a variety of machinery designed to improve ventilation. It subsequently made recommendations as to the actual state of Sandhurst mines, the best methods for improving ventilation in mines, and the means by which proper ventilation of mines should be enforced. Its report was presented to Parliament in September 1888.See also VRG 30 Mines.
