Function / Content

This series consists of application files for mineral leases on the Daly River goldfield. The application files include a copy of the application form, correspondence with the applicant and Head Office, and copies of notices. The applications are for nos.ML2K-ML48K (not including nos.1, 29, 30, 32, 37-46). The application form was completed in triplicate; the applicant kept one copy, and then two separate files were created in the Mines Branch, one by Head Office (for the approval process and gazette notices), and the other by the Mining Registrar (for correspondence with the applicant and Head Office). Two sets of files relating to applications for gold mining leases in District K were kept; one for Head Office, and the other at Darwin. The Mines Branch, Head Office, was moved to Alice Springs during the Second World War and remained there during the period 1942-1953. A Darwin office of the Mines Branch operated during 1946-1953 which was merged with the Mines Branch, Head Office, in 1953 when it was moved back from Alice Springs to Darwin.
