Sad news unfortunately.
I've just heard, via the north American based MiningHistory list, that Mason
died on 7 November; the consequence of bone cancer.
I never met Mason but had frequent correspondence with him since the
inception of this list. He contributed to some lively discussion and was a
great supporter of both lists. I know he was a great supporter of the
Mining History Association and made a significant contribution to the study
of mining history on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm sure you will all wish
to to join with me in extending our condolences to his family.
Peter
