Regards, Bernard Hi Bernard, I received this from Greg Drew, one of the authors of the book that I mentioned. Regards, Jim PS Bernard asked that I post this response to the list as I contacted him off list. Hi Jim, Taylors Shaft (Moonta Mine) and Taylors Shaft and Enginehouse (Wallaroo Mine) were named after John Taylor who was in partnership with (Sir) Thomas Elder and Robert Barr Smith as Elder, Stirling & Co., which financed the Wallaroo and Moonta mines. He was a director in both the Moonta and Wallaroo Mining Companies. Hope to see you in Cornwall next year at the World Mining History Conference in Redruth.
