Peter, and General,
I note with much interest your message to the malbase. I have set upon a
course of creating a source of archive knowledge - Books, Mss, & share
certificates - which will be of use to all. This source, in it's own right,
will internationally very interetesting indeed, and will be available - in
the not to distant future - to all who wish to draw upon it at no charge
whatsoever. My interest in things mining - including my professional interest
in same - spreads far beyond financial gain, and I make no apology to anyone
that I 'deal' in British mining share certs.Mss., etc.. This is a personal
and totaly insatiable interest, and if I can supply, along side, anything to
a like minded historical individual, a piece of any history, this gives me a
great deal of pleasure & satisfaction. Sorry if this deviates beyond what you
intended, but I wish to share with others my personal interest, regardless of
commercial gain. Yes, I of course have a serious personal business in same -
a serious hobby as those who really know me will know - but my hotel in the
Lake District is, apart from the farm in Mid-Wales (available for holiday let
as previous mail) - is my main income interest now - having changed course
from my mainstream mineral production/producing interests - though these
still play sometimes play tricks on me!!!!!! To those who know me my best
wishes, to those who don't the same! Maybe we can all be of use to each other
in the end..... Kind Regards to All, BERNARD
