Collected articles by Jack Trounson (1905-1987), the Redruth-born mine surveyor known as the "Grand Old Man of Cornish mining," first published in Sands, Clays and Minerals (1937) and the Mining Magazine (1942-1951). Written from his years as surveyor at East Pool and South Crofty, they survey Cornwall's undeveloped mineral resources, wartime tin production, the principal mining districts from St Just and St Ives to Wendron, and the old properties and largely unworked ground he judged most worth reopening. The foreword by mining historian J.A. Buckley gives a short biography: Trounson's role in saving the Levant whim engine and founding what became the Trevithick Society, his chairmanship of the Cornish Mining Development Association, and the reports on some eighty South-West mines that made him the first call for later geologists and mine managers. Includes a sketch map of the mining districts of Cornwall and South Devon, output tables, plates of mines from the 1890s to the 1920s, and an index of mine names.
