John George Bice

Sir John George Bice KCMG (24 June 1853 – 9 November 1923) was a blacksmith and politician in the colony and State of South Australia.

Young John began his working life in the Moonta mines, improving his education at night school.

In 1876 he took over a machinist's business at Wilmington (then called "Beautiful Valley") owned by the Trewenack brothers of Port Augusta.

He held those portfolios until 30 December, when after the death of Tom Price he became Chief Secretary and Minister of Industry in the first Peake Administration.

His other son, Frederick William Bice, was a metallurgist who was accidentally killed 16 July 1906 at the Blinman Mines, SA, where he was employed as an assayer.
