About the book >.>.> For local people and for retired mining engineers in many parts of the world the mine was and remains almost a legend with an extremely rich deposit capable of being worked profitably even when the cash price of lead metal was at its lowest for 200 years. Though some men gained wealth f from the mine and many more their livelihoods the mine took its b toll too. This was in more than a th few lives and even more injuries th from explosions falls of rock and less spectacularly from the diseases which result from working in wet conditions and air contaminated by mine gases.
