Excerpt from The Organization of Gold Mining Business, 1897: With Specimens of the Departmental Report Books and the Account Books The "Departmental Report Books" required may be suitably made of the same size of paper as the Specimens shewn in the following pages. The "Account Books" should be larger in size than the Specimens, preferably of what is known as demy paper. The copies of the Departmental Reports and Accounts, for transmission monthly to the Head Office, should be on the same Form and size of paper as the originals. This Book should always be in duplicate - one copy at the Mine and one at the Head Office of the Company - for reference purposes. Any local variations which are authorized by the Head Office should be noted in both the Books. Convenient spaces have been left for this purpose, and for other MS. notes. The system is applicable to Transvaal and Australian Gold Mining, in both of which it has been used: but in the hands of intelligent officers no difficulty should be found in adapting it to the requirements of other countries.
