On this day in 1901, the Geraldton Guardian newspaper gave some statistics on the economy of Greenbushes and Western Australia.

The first gem stated "The net indebtedness per head of the population of this State on the 31st December last, was £67 17s 7d." That equates to approximately $8575 in current times.

The information on Greenbushes production though read:

"The total production of tin at Greenbushes for the present year to the end
of July, was 163 tons 15 cwts, a decrease of 73 tons on the output of last year."

Imagine if government stated debt in terms of a per person amount today?
