If it is out of print, you might be able to get a copy in a second hand bookshop in Truro, Falmouth, or Penzance. The bookshops I have found best for mining books are:
The Falmouth Bookshop, off the main street, in an arcade. Olivers, Redruth. Also, Dyllansow Truran, which is mail order. You could also phone the Mining Museum at Matlock bath. they have an extensive collection of new and second hand books. [...]52_26Jan199912:35:11+0000(GMT)[log in to unmask]

I have a degree in sociology from the University of Alberta, Canada. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I am researching for a novel I am writing. The novel is set in Rumelange, Luxembourg in the 1880's. I am looking for information on iron-ore mining in the late nineteenth century. Rumelange is one of many iron-ore mining towns in southern Luxembourg. I have doing quite a bit of research already but haven't found much information written in English. I've written to the mining museum in Rumelange [...]53_26Jan199914:19:27-0700(MST)[log in to unmask]
6257 28 35_Laura vein in a British metal mine?25_robert and fiona [log in to unmask], 27 Jan 1999 10:23:05 +0000558_- Does anyone know of a Laura vein in a British Metal Mine?
The reason for the enquiry is that the poet W H Auden was extremely knowledgable about British inter-war metal mining and frequently refers to it in his writing.
A description of a woman called Laura using mining terminology is given in the poem Age Of Anxiety and although the vast majority of his names (like Dinah's Rake) have had their locations confirmed, my searches using Kingsley Dunham, Raistrick and PDMHS volumes have so far got nowhere on this one.

As a general rule, living with the environment every day they are well aware of the dangers but familiarity can always breed some relaxation when there is no obvious demonstration of risk over [...]38_25Jan199909:26:[log in to unmask]
