Dear All,
 
The items below, being completely out of my field, I write to advise  List 
members in case someone might be interested in them (all as one only). They  
offer useful historical data regarding coal mining, and some of the dates are  
quite early. Please ONLY reply OFF List.
 
Regards, Bernard
